But with the sequel delayed to an unknown date, the community\u2019s patience is wearing thin.\u00a0 Before the creator-inspired Experimental Card released on Nov. 30, the last Experimental update was on Oct. 21; the most recent update before that was on July 29. Live patches, which push changes to all parts of the game including competitive mode, have mostly been small updates over the past few months.\u00a0 The most notable updates have involved a name change for the game\u2019s iconic cowboy and the introduction of a new Deathmatch map, Malevento. Other than minor hero balance tweaks, little has been given to those who mainly play competitive mode.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cThey\u2019re leaving [the game] to die for Overwatch 2,\u201d super said in the clip. \u201cI get nothing because I\u2019m over here with my thumb up my ass while I\u2019m waiting for Blizzard to give me something with Overwatch 2.\u201d\u00a0 Despite the reported delay in Overwatch 2, the Overwatch League will still be played on an early build of the sequel when it kicks off in April 2022. It isn\u2019t yet known if league players will be the only ones to have access to the early build while everyday Overwatch players have to stick with the base game.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 While some parts of the community are unhappy unless comprehensive changes are made to live servers and competitive mode, others\u2013like super\u2013are apparently pleased with recreational updates like the chaotic Experimental Card. \u201cThis is the most fun I\u2019ve had playing Overwatch in forever,\u201d super said. \u201cI\u2019m telling you guys, it\u2019s so easy to keep this game rolling, but they just don\u2019t do it for some reason.

But with the sequel delayed to an unknown date, the community\u2019s patience is wearing thin.\u00a0 Before the creator-inspired Experimental Card released on Nov. 30, the last Experimental update was on Oct. 21; the most recent update before that was on July 29. Live patches, which push changes to all parts of the game including competitive mode, have mostly been small updates over the past few months.\u00a0 The most notable updates have involved a name change for the game\u2019s iconic cowboy and the introduction of a new Deathmatch map, Malevento. Other than minor hero balance tweaks, little has been given to those who mainly play competitive mode.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cThey\u2019re leaving [the game] to die for Overwatch 2,\u201d super said in the clip. \u201cI get nothing because I\u2019m over here with my thumb up my ass while I\u2019m waiting for Blizzard to give me something with Overwatch 2.\u201d\u00a0 Despite the reported delay in Overwatch 2, the Overwatch League will still be played on an early build of the sequel when it kicks off in April 2022. It isn\u2019t yet known if league players will be the only ones to have access to the early build while everyday Overwatch players have to stick with the base game.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 While some parts of the community are unhappy unless comprehensive changes are made to live servers and competitive mode, others\u2013like super\u2013are apparently pleased with recreational updates like the chaotic Experimental Card. \u201cThis is the most fun I\u2019ve had playing Overwatch in forever,\u201d super said. \u201cI\u2019m telling you guys, it\u2019s so easy to keep this game rolling, but they just don\u2019t do it for some reason.
