The discussions about perks and S15 really shows how much bad faith there is in overwatch internet discourse

I've seen so many articles, Reddit posts and comments, YouTube thumbnails... which basically boil down to "Oh wow overwatch 2 is finally a fun and good game ?" That discourse stems directly from the introduction of perks and the added depth and fun factor they provide.

But while I agree they are a great addition, they're not THAT much of a game changer. Sojourn having 15 more bullets in her gun, or even tracer regenerating blinks on recall, are not what makes overwatch as a whole a great game.

This feels way more like perks are being used, deliberately or not, by a lot of people to try the game again with a somewhat open mind instead of being actively looking for the next thing to complain about and karmafarm.

But it's such a shame honestly. All these guys saying they are having a lot of fun with the game now probably would have been doing the exact same before, it's the same crisp gameplay that's been here since 2016. But people were just willing to ignore all that good stuff simply for the sake of internet circlejerk.
