Players are expressing mixed feelings about the return of the Moth Meta; some are excited about Mercy's comeback, while others are reminded of the frustrations it previously caused.

The author of the article admits that while they may engage with the Moth Meta event briefly, they are not keen on enduring the overwhelming chaos it is likely to generate.

Despite a sense of nostalgia for the old gameplay, some players reflect that the current state of Overwatch, particularly the 5v5 format, represents an improvement over the past.

This event has reintroduced a notorious phase in the game's history, where Mercy's rapid resurrect ability dominated gameplay.

With her ability on cooldown, Mercy can instantly revive allies, potentially bringing back two teammates within her 20-second ultimate, making her nearly unbeatable during this meta.

Alongside Mercy, Doomfist is also returning to his DPS role, while Orisa will regain her Shield Generator and gravitational energy orb abilities.

The Moth Meta event in Overwatch Classic kicked off on February 4, 2025, and will continue until February 18, 2025, featuring the original 6v6 open queue format.
