OW2 players label Olympus as \u201cworst\u201d event in Overwatch history BlizzardOverwatch 2\u2019s Battle for Olympus event failed to resonate with community members, as players bashed the new limited-time game mode. Overwatch 2 Season 2 embraced a mythology theme centered around Greek gods. Junker Queen received a Zeus Mythic skin, and other heroes represented different gods. Some examples include a Poseidon skin for Rammattra and Hade\u2019s outfit for Pharah. Season 2 also introduced Battle for Olympus, a limited-time FFA mode, giving heroes \u201cspecial powers\u201d and \u201cdivine ultimates.\u201d Blizzard designed the mode so players could learn and use ultimate abilities differently than ever seen before. The eight-player free-for-all mode looked appealing on paper, but users bashed the lackluster experience after giving it a test run. Overwatch 2 players slam Battle for Olympus game mode The Battle for Olympus LTM gifts heroes limited-time unique abilities, tying into the Greek mythology theme, such as Widowmaker turning enemies into stone like Madusa. An Overwatch 2 player claimed, \u201cThe Olympus event is possibly the worst event in Overwatch history.\u201d Most of the user\u2019s frustration stems from Battle for Olympus, which didn\u2019t provide anything \u201cunique\u201d or suitable enough rewards to justify completing challenges. Players can only choose between Reinhardt, Roadhog, Junker Queen, Rammatra, Pharah, Widowmaker, and Lucio in Battle for Olympus. Roadhog dominates OW2\u2019s current meta, and players were disappointed when the hero didn\u2019t receive a nerf in the Battle for Olympus update. Players also called for a massive nerf to Widowmaker, so the inclusion of both overpowered heroes in Battle for Olympus raised eyebrows. One player responded, \u201cI think free for all in overwatch is one of the worst types of modes because there\u2019s like one or two heroes that are clearly the best pick and just roll every other hero, making the mode not fun.\u201d A second user added, \u201cThe custom ultimates are really cool, but the mode just feels so boring and unbalanced that after a few games, it\u2019s not fun at all and feels like a chore if you actually want to get any rewards.\u201d Battle for Olympus goes down as a swing-and-miss for some players, but give the mode a try for yourself and decide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
