I know I'm an old head, but I fall all of these games (Deadlock, Apex Legends, Overwatch, whatever) to be fun for about two hours and then I'm sated.

I genuinely wish I understood the appeal because so many people seem to get so much joy from them.

I have fun popping into them every once and a while to play with friends, but it's very rare for them to stick. Usually it's a "Let's play one or two matches" and then we go back to our usual thing

Yeah that's probably the key. While I'm blessed in that I have friends in my life, I don't really have any gamer friends so it's also just me vs randoms in these scenarios
