As a long-time Overwatch 2 fan who has witnessed the evolution of this game since its inception, I must say that Season 14 has left me feeling rather underwhelmed, especially when it comes to the cosmetics. It seems like we’ve taken a step back instead of moving forward.
Players of Overwatch 2 have criticized certain cosmetics introduced in Season 14, labeling them as “uninspired” or “lacking effort,” and some have gone so far as to draw comparisons with offerings from competing games.
The long-awaited Season 14 of Overwatch 2 has begun! It introduces a new tank hero named Hazard, brings back the Winter Wonderland event, and is testing out a 6v6 role queue system. Additionally, there are some fresh cosmetics in the game, with previews of a few items available early on.
Players have noticed an issue just a few days into the new season: certain cosmetics appear to lack effort and feel sloppy compared to previous ones. This critique isn’t entirely novel, as it echoes comments made about the quality of cosmetics in past seasons.
Nevertheless, players have voiced their dissatisfactions on social media platforms, urging Blizzard to improve their performance, given the arrival of Marvel Rivals in the market.
Overwatch 2 players unhappy with highlight intros that look like emotes
In the realm of gaming fandom, I’ve noticed quite a few discussions about the latest highlight intros in Season 14. Some fans, including myself, have remarked that they seem more like emotes and appear rather minimalistic when compared to the dynamic highlights we’ve seen in previous seasons.
Marvel Rivals cooked so hard with their animations that OW2 look so dull now 😭

One user even said: “Aren’t most of these just emotes with dynamic camera angles…”
Several other commenters concurred, expressing similar opinions. One user put it like this: “They just stand there, and then suddenly a close-up. There’s nothing special about the character; it’s just dull.
Another user shared their observation about the Battle Pass’s highlight intros: “They seem repetitive and low-quality, as they appear to reuse existing assets.” Additionally, a user pointed out that the Widowmaker’s highlight intro is essentially just her emote with an extra beverage.
Users found no hesitation in drawing parallels between the highlights of this new 6v6 game and those in Marvel Rivals, expressing their belief that the MVP cutscenes in the former surpass the latter. However, they’ve admitted that the MVP animations in Marvel Rivals aren’t poor, but after witnessing them, the ones in the new game seem somewhat lackluster or subpar.
Some gamers have proposed that developers should mix things up a bit, or at least make the game environments more visually appealing by placing the characters in interesting settings. Many players are disenchanted with the current state of the game, expressing their dissatisfaction because they believe it has declined in quality.
