An Overwatch 2 player's cat seems to be enjoying the game's queue screen. Since launching in October, Overwatch 2 players had less-than-ideal experiences, which included glitches and long queue times.
There had been many controversies surrounding Overwatch 2 even before its official launch. One was shifting to a 5v5 format from 6v6, which changed the lineup of most Overwatch League teams. Despite this, players were excited to try the sequel game out to see what was new and different. While many are enjoying the gameplay, there are also those who seem disappointed by Overwatch 2's game-breaking bugs, server errors, and other problems.
A common complaint among players has been Overwatch 2's long queue times. The loading screen during queue had become a normal sight for players, and apparently, even cats seem entertained by it. Reddit user sunsongdreamer uploaded an adorable clip of their tuxedo cat sitting in front of a TV and watching the queue animation intently. In the post caption, they said at least someone was enjoying the long wait.
Fellow Overwatch 2 players loved seeing the cat's apparent interest in the queue animation. The clip seemed to be a much-needed break from the usual complaints posted on the subreddit. It's also similar to the time real-life cats watched their owners play Stray.
Long queue and loading times in games could greatly affect players' experiences. Blizzard devs have acknowledged the problem and said that they're always evaluating the game's queue times to find ways to improve them, especially since there had been reports that tank and damage players were more likely to experience long queues in Overwatch 2. With the upcoming addition of tank hero Ramattra, it might even be more difficult to get in.
However, it seems that players are still experiencing the same problem. Some Overwatch 2 fans even suggested a "better" auto queue system, which they hope Blizzard will implement in the future. With the game just a month old, it might take some time for Blizzard to fully fix the many issues plaguing it. At the very least, players can expect regular Overwatch 2 patches that will hopefully address these issues little by little.
Overwatch 2 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
