Overwatch 2 Season 5: Tracers D&D Campaign Cant Hide Empty Content

Overwatch 2's fifth season launched June 13, 2023, with "Questwatch" - a fantasy RPG theme that turns heroes into D&D characters. After Season 4's Lifeweaver, support mains get nothing while DPS players enjoy another mythic skin. Balance.

Roll for Initiative

The season's premise: Tracer and her griffin companion Orisa embark on a quest to save Queen Emily from Demon Lord Reinhardt. It's cute for about five minutes before you realize it's just cosmetic fluff masking another content-light season.

Adventurer Tracer's mythic skin unlocks at tier 45 (or immediately with $$$). The customization options include different armor styles and color schemes. It's well-designed but doesn't justify the battle pass grind when supports still have zero mythic options.

Defeat the Demon Lord: Community Content Saves the Day

The 1v4 brawl pits four heroes against an overpowered Reinhardt. It's creator-made content doing Blizzard's job - providing actual gameplay variety. The mode's more engaging than anything official this season, which says everything.

Other skins include Slime Queen Echo and Royal Guard Genji. Pretty pixels that don't address core issues.

Balance Patches Without Purpose

Quick-kill heroes got "adjusted" - Widowmaker, Hanzo, Cassidy nerfs that barely matter. Junker Queen's rampage toned down after dominating for months. Lifeweaver buffs that still don't make him viable. Shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic.

The Content Drought Continues

No new hero. No new maps. No substantial game modes. Just skins with a fantasy theme and community-created content filling the void. Five seasons in and Overwatch 2 still feels like Overwatch 1.5 with worse monetization.

Questwatch proves themes and skins can't replace actual content. Players need heroes, maps, and modes - not another $20 Tracer costume. But hey, at least Demon Lord Reinhardt looks cool while the game slowly bleeds players.
