What is exciting about Overwatch for you?

I want to share why I'm excited about Overwatch, and I want you guys to share with me why you're excited for Overwatch.

Since I was a wee lad I have been an FPS gamer. I first downloaded CS:S source 10 years ago, and have been hooked since. I got a copy of Battlefield 2, only to trade it for Call of Duty because rifles only was literally the shit. That held me over for a long time, until I got an Xbox in Grade 8. I got hooked on Modern Warfare, and come time Modern Warfare 2 was out, I was making Youtube videos and I loved doing it. I stopped at around 2700 subscribers, but it's been amazing to see my friends (Sidearms, Deluxe, and G18) become unimaginably huge. In comes League of Legends. Thousands of games later I peaked at D1 90 LP thanks to a 33-4 streak with Nunu. Since then, I have been playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, becoming involved in betting, and making far more money than I would have ever thought I could doing it. I get to go to my first LAN in a week in a half, and my team is looking pretty decent. I think we can make top 3, although there is one team that might wipe the floor with us. Enter Overwatch. Overwatch to me seems like the culmination of my entire gaming skillset coming together. The strategy and ability-based play of League of Legends, the thousands and thousands of hours spent playing a myriad of shooters. I'm avoiding most video because I want to experience it for myself, not spoil it. Most people are going to be starting from the same footing come release and from there the sky is the limit. My dream is to go pro, and this seems like the right time to do it (despite my course load :D)

TL;DR It's exciting that I feel like I actually have a chance at this game.

So why are you excited for Overwatch?
