OWL champ Super reveals his Overwatch 2 wishlist Blizzard Entertainment \/ Robert Paul for Blizzard EntertainmentAfter winning his second consecutive Overwatch League championship with the San Francisco Shock, the ever-opinionated Matthew \u2018Super\u2019 DeLisi revealed what he\u2019s hoping for in Overwatch 2 during an episode of the Plat Chat podcast. [jwplayer 91I9RIGm] Ranked in the top 10 of the North American ladder and fresh off yet another infallible OWL campaign, Super isn\u2019t the world\u2019s greatest main tank but he is one of its premier Overwatch players. While he wasn\u2019t a yearlong starter for the Shock, his game sense and mechanics span a preferred Reinhardt role all the way to his infamous Genji play. As such, his perspective is intriguing with regards to 2, a title that millions have been eagerly, sometimes confusedly anticipating for a couple years now. After Blizzard Entertainment gave the world a major tease of OW2 during 2019\u2019s BlizzCon, little has been revealed about the sequel\u2019s progress and eventual release date. With many hoping that more news about the title will come during February 2021\u2019s virtual BlizzCon, the Plat Chat boys got together with Super and, at one point, discussed their wishlists for the game. Easily the most talented player of the group, DeLisi\u2019s perspective on the campaign and hero additions runs strikingly similar to casual hopes. Conversely, his thoughts on shields and modes bear some interesting contrasts. Plat Chat typically boasts a stacked cast of Overwatch aficionados, featuring four of the OWL\u2019s casters and analysts: Matt \u2018Mr.X\u2019 Morello, Joshua \u2018Sideshow\u2019 Wilkinson, Jonathan \u2018Reinforce\u2019 Larsson, and Brennon \u2018Bren\u2019 Hook. But for this episode, they replaced their former OWL player, Reinforce, with a current champion in Super. Then, they asked what he cares most about for OW2. \u201cI know this is kind of funny because I\u2019m a pro player, so I\u2019m supposed to think the opposite. But, dude \u2026 give me a fully fleshed out story.\u201d From high-quality cinematics to a campaign that lasts over 20 hours, Super\u2019s main hope for OW2 is an all-encompassing PVE story mode. Further, in another note that professionals and casuals will agree upon, he mentioned that he is desperate for as many as \u201cthree new heroes per role.\u201d Later, Super was asked about core mechanics of the game that he might want to see changed. When asked about the new mode, Push, DeLisi likened it to Team Fortress 2\u2019s Payload Race mode and suggested that it was intriguing, but does deserve concern about snowballing. In a stark departure from most players\u2019 sentiments, he expanded that 2CP (or Assault) is, in fact, not the worst mode in Overwatch. Instead, he believes that Control maps are \u201cbusted\u201d and deserve some rethinking. Super\u2019s last point regarding mechanics touches on a hotly contested subject: shields. While developers have echoed fans\u2019 concerns with shields in the game, Super professes that it\u2019s not the shields that are the problem, instead the problem is when \u201cthe game revolves around the shield.\u201d Comparing Reinhardt\u2019s comfortable place within a game to Orisa\u2019s oppressive gameplay, DeLisi explains that shields can work well in Overwatch. But when a hero is too dependent on their shield and their team is forced into stagnantly working around said shield, that\u2019s when the game suffers. So, a fat, fully fledged campaign, new heroes, some map rethinking, and some shield reworking are all on Super\u2019s wishlist for one of the gaming community\u2019s most highly anticipated sequels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
