I know this sounds trite, but you should give OW2 another go with a group of regular friends. You can setup custom games with super goofy rules or use some of the excellent existing custom game codes, and not even touch the competitive aspect of the game.

Almost every single game with a group of regular friends will eventually become fun, and if he wishes to do the things you just mentioned he could do it in most source engine games with a lot more freedom.

Agreed. I mini boycotted Blizzard since 2012 because of starcraft stuff, and I fully cutoff blizzard from my spending in 2018. I didn't even try reforged, and I played both custom and standard games in WCIII religiously. I was good at both dota and 1v1 (semi pro in the latter).
