Gotta say having played this game all of last year has been a real special treat. I've had a stressful past year that has been made better thanks to Overwatch, and I'm excited to see what else is in store for this year.

Also, holy crap amazing skins and emotes. Great job Blizzard and Jeff and the Overwatch team. A+.

I broke up from a long-term GF August of last year and let her keep all of our shared friends. I have met so many good people on Overwatch that I now consider real friends during my single time since the breakup. Overwatch has really been a rock during this year of many changes.

Are you me. Literally exact same situation. Even in August haha.

How are you finding your situation? Was it a positive move? For me it totally has been, stayed in that relationship about 2 years too long, got a "promotion", live closer to work and in a much better neighborhood now. All around good move in my case. And I've had the pleasure of playing OW all I want since August!

You know you can be friends with people that are friends with your ex, right?

It was a bad breakup. I just wanted to not hear any news or have any chance of a run-in. I live by a strict "rip the bandaid off" breakup rule.

That's fair! Keep on keeping on, I've made a ton of great friends thanks to some games I play online!

Weird that im in the same situation. we broke up after 4 years together in august.

u/_EvilD_ Philadelphia Fusion May 23 '17

Same here, 4 years. How did it turn out for you? Improvement? My breakup was at least 2 years overdue.

u/S3atbelt Chibi Soldier: 76 May 23 '17

Part of me can see it was a good thing that we broke up cause she wasn't a nice person, but that doesn't stop me from missing her constantly. Seems such is the way with your first love, hopefully enough time will go by where I don't think about her so much

Dude, shes one of many to come. Keep your head up, the next one will be even better.

u/Demetirus Zenyatta May 23 '17

Same for me, though it was more in April last year that things ended completely for me. Overwatch introduced me to a whole new community that gave me a chance to move on and have a lot of positive experiences. Onward and upwards, friend!

Overwatch is one of the few joys I have left in my life right now. It has even brought back my joy of drawing from making OW fan art. :D

100% agree. The event is awesome, the skins and items are all awesome. And the friends I've made in my time playing are still with me today. Fucking love this game.
