Before I Buy?

Should I buy Overwatch? If so, what's the overall community like? How much content is there, and is it easy to rank up (or whatever system they use) without micro transactions (if there are any)?

Youtube will help you out a lot checking out games and figuring out if its something you want to buy or not.

I own overwatch but dont play it much. I know it has kinda gone down hill since release but it still has a good community as far as I understand.
If its something you want then get it.

Nah, overwatch's run is over it's not as popular as it was.

It is in a state of just idling its way through the esport scene. The playerbase mostly consists of people with over 2000hrs or complete beginners. It for sure is not a bad game but it is not what it once was.

Hope that helps a little.

I think Overwatch is a good game, but sometimes the community can be toxic
