I've even had some nail-biting finishes with our side only just stealing a victory demonstrating a more evenly balanced matchup. I've got some favourite characters and fellow players seem to be playing more consistently – there have been fewer of those wild swings between success and failure as your teammates change. Having played a lot more matches solo, I'm starting to find that interest again. I'll get to the specifics of that a little later. I was also trying out some support characters at the time because I was paired up with a friend and the game feels really bad at rewarding or recognising support characters. I think that was partly because any time a beta like this opens people are trying to find their feet – the game isn't stable yet so it can feel like people are behaving erratically or you're either stomping or being stomped. Upon gaining access to the beta it was a bit more of a bumpy ride in terms of finding that spark.

Demo kiosks tend not to be representative but I'd had a decent enough time, racked up some kill streaks amidst the deaths and noted some characters I wanted to spend an evening playing to find out how they worked. Then I was at Road to Blizzcon a month or two back and had a good time with the hands-on demo kiosks. I started off not particularly engaged – the videos made the combat seem a little weightless and I didn't really get an idea of whether the game was going to be fun so I watched the stream of videos and character bios trickle out without being drawn in. My interest in and excitement about Overwatch has oscillated a little.
