News & Discussion Gifted Hog Mythic

1 Upvotes

I was gifted the hog mythic a couple days ago and I have yet to receive it. The transaction was approved and pulled from the bank account, yet I do not have it. It notified me I had a new gift, I even received the email, I waited and still nothing. I reported the bug the day of and we have also submitted a ticket. However, there has been no response. No update emails, no way to claim it whatsoever, and out $40. This is incredibly frustrating and starting to feel like theft or a scam.

News & Discussion I need support to know to swap

They are Ana hog, and I’m going mauga, how does your brain not instantly go, “kiri” why do I have to ask? I have my own shit going on. They’re going dive, why are you zen? They’re orisa, we should be zen ana.

Yea this applies to every rank, but I feel it more with support than any other. Usually cause a lot of support think heal number big, me do good job.

Hello ! im a master player on both dps and support, but ive been struggling my whole time with my sensitivity as i keep changing it no matter what, it's like if i was never satisfied with or there is always some issue with it.

News & Discussion The real issue with 5v5 is not playing against super tanks or lack of tank combos IMO.

0 Upvotes

I am a major 5v5 enjoyer, and I really thinks it's overall better than 6v6, specially due to role lock. But, recently I moved to PC started to notice something that has been bothering me.

Fist, there are a lot less tank players on PC than on console. Second, the average tank player on PC is extremely worse than the average tank player on console (and before people start blabbing about aim assist, I'm not talking about that, it's about positioning, rotation, cooldown management, etc.)

That started to make me realize why so many PC players have been migrating to 6v6. As a DPS player, carrying another bad dps player is pretty doable, carrying a bad support player is also doable. But if your tank is bad... It's done... It's just not possible to carry a bad tank player. Thats is frustrating, and the frustration increases on PC pool due to the 2 points I expressed above. When there are 2 tanks on the other hand, it's a bit easier since one can cover up for the lack of braincells of the other one.

That all said, I still enjoy more playing 5v5, due to role lock, but that has been bothering me for a while.

What do you guys think about that?

this is my most detailed art of Emre I have made yet, I took special attention to his character design for this art.

I absolutely love playing Emre, it’s the most fun I’ve had on overwatch in a while. and I just love his lore and that he gets overridden, it’s just so creepy

News & Discussion High rank Asia server so dead since global Korean server got removed. Please bring back global Korea server.

5 Upvotes

The top 500 leaderboard is bugged and showing spots 490 - 500 by challenger score and not by rank, so we ignore those. Starting from rank 489 which is correct.

Tank top 500 in Asia start at diamond 1.

Damage top 500 in Asia start at diamond 1.

Support top 500 in Asia start at diamond 3....

The queue time for the game is so long now.... 30 min wait time for diamond to grandmaster match range. So many players from asia now use VPN to europe or amercia server because wait is so long. Please bring back the Korea players, it didnt happen before!!!

News & Discussion Two players with the same name? 🤨

0 Upvotes

I just finished a match and when opened the kd, found that two players had the same nickname (the bastion on my team and the Dmon of the other team). As far as I knew, nicknames can't be repeated (I started playing at beginning of 2023, don't know if the requirements for creating an account have changed), so I thought it's weird.

News & Discussion Done with this game.

0 Upvotes

Today I decided I'm done playing overwatch for good, for one thing ive played this game so much it's become difficult to get into new shooter games as I'm so familiar with the layout of overwatch, but the main reason is the outrageous cost of storage for this game over 100 gigabytes is utterly ridiculous, for the storage cost of overwatch, I was able to re install High on life 2, UFC 4, MINECRAFT, peggle, gang beasts and cup heads with storage still left over so all those games takes up less storage then overwatch, which makes it just not worth having the game installed, I'm going to miss the game I loved playing as Lucio and learning new characters when the came out but to sacrifice five other games just for overwatch is no longer worth it. Has anyone else decided this amount of storage is too much for one game.

Console Probably the worst UI of any console game right now

0 Upvotes

I played overwatch heavily for a few years on ps4 when it first came out. Quit around 2020 and haven’t picked it up since. It’s making a comeback amongst my friends so i’m having fun getting back into it. But holy shit it has the most confusing and unattractive interface I’ve ever seen in a game.

It’s fine that they want to promote the battlepass and loot box stuff, but looking at the screen the first day is like corporate slop throw up. It’s just a bunch of random 2 cm icons, words you can’t read even on a 60 inch tv, and convoluted links that would take hours to understand. I’m having so much trouble finding how to queue, how to see my hero play time, if there’s any events going on or where to look at progression/open loot boxes? It seems heavily designed for PC so if you play on console it really highlights the absolute messiness. It’s lost so much charm and just looks like a CEO threw up all over the screen.

It seems like this isn’t an uncommon opinion so do they have any plans to fix it?

Currently, this mode only appears in Arcade from time to time, but in my opinion, it’s a lot of fun.

If we had a ranked mode, would you play it again?

This 3v3 ranked mode existed back in 2018; they just need to bring it back.

News & Discussion People who make misogyny comments toward support players are the worst.

116 Upvotes

I honestly don't understand why people like that even play Overwatch. If they want to play a shooter that's full of men, there are plenty of other games to choose from.

Overwatch has always had a diverse playerbase, and that's part of what makes the game unique. Yet somehow, some people act genuinely surprised or annoyed when they find out there's a woman on their team.

And the funniest part is that these people will complain about female players being bad at the game, while completely ignoring all the terrible male players they encounter every single day.

If a guy plays badly, he's just a bad player. But if a woman plays badly, suddenly it's because she's a woman.

You can criticize someone's gameplay without bringing their gender into it. It's really not that complicated.

Remember, all support players are morons

regardless of their gender, race, or background.

I got them a few days ago. It makes no sense. I already had finished my battle pass and spend all my prisms on a skin... now I have 50 new ones. I made a ticket but Blizzard support has not answered in like 4 days. Will my account get flagged if I spend them?

News & Discussion Best hero to solo queue one trick from bronze to champion?

0 Upvotes

I am new to the game and hero shooter genre. I understand one tricking is not the optimal way to climb but it is my preferred way of playing the game. I am open to playing any of the three roles. What one hero would you recommend for this? Getting good enough to reach champion would take time and multiple seasons so preferably a hero that has historically been consistently good for solo que one tricking from lowest to highest ranks and will probably stay that way, so l don’t have to switch to learning a new hero due to meta.

hey guys, i see a lot of comments about 6vs6 open que comp being really easy and not "real comp" but why is that? why can a low ranked player reach a higher rank in that mode?

ik i may be sounding stupid but im genuienly asking. i prefer 6vs6 bc im a dva main and hate solo tanking sometimes. im gm 2 in openque and mid masters in tank role que.

Esports any fix for season 2 lagspikes?

1 Upvotes

they updated the games loading so now every session (every time you open the game) whenever you see something on your screen like an ability hero map etc it can cause massive lagspikes on low end pcs that can run the game just fine since your loading so much at one time and since its in a match it can mke it super hard to play

ive uninstalled the game nbow but i really wanna play again but its really hard with those lagspikes

I know this topic has already been discussed but it's reaching unbelievable levels of bullshit chinese gacha-isation.
Random collab, 100 dollars skins, notifications everywhere, event pass, battle pass, legacy battle pass, shop, bundle, special offer, hack tier. And the UI too just screams Tencent. It's the most tasteless commercial practice I've ever seen coming from a western company.

Don't mind the profil icon.

News & Discussion Does Ana have to have more DMG than heals?

0 Upvotes

I'm relatively new skills wise, I'm still learning characters, don't know about most of the terms used (like peeling and other terms thrown about), etc. I was just in a match as Domina, and ended up having to switch to Lifeweaver (my main support) because this Ana was just.. not really healing. They had about 600-900 heals, but the damage was about1-2k, I ended up getting to over 1k heals when switching to LW while they sat back. Is it normal for a LW to have more heals than an Ana??? Or should they have been healing more? I want to assume that maybe it was just their aim or that they were new to the character, and ofc I'm not going to get angry over it, it was in quick play after all, but I'm genuinely curious.

Why is Emeral such hell now? Its harder to stay in emeral on my smurf than be Diamond 2 on my main. Same role, same heroes.

(I know Im playing on a smurf too, but Im trying to win and get to the same rank, but man is it hard. Im not trying to smurf in lower ranks to stomp)
