A Fun Break From the Competition
Ever since the competitive ranked mode got added into Overwatch, the game’s community has gotten a lot more serious, and more casual players might find it a little bit stifling. Considering that Quick Play mode essentially offers up the same game modes but without the skill ratings, you can’t really say that Quick Play is a nice escape from the competitive scene either.
But you know what is? Lucioball.
In a Rocket League-style game mode, Lucioball is the first Overwatch brawl that truly feels ‘fun’ and sufficiently different enough from all of the other weekly brawls that mostly just involve you picking certain heroes and playing the same modes over again. Lucioball feels more like a sports game mode that you can play to unwind from hours’ worth of intense competitive play, and it sure would be nice if Blizzard considered making it a permanent game mode.
