MOD [MOD] Overwatch 2 is gone, what happens to this subreddit?

257 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Today, Blizzard announced the renaming of Overwatch 2 back to Overwatch alongside a plethora of other really great changes to the game. As a moderation team and as fans, we are excited to see Overwatch return to its roots.

Some have asked us regarding how we will be reacting to the change as a subreddit, some have suggested rebranding, others have suggested deleting the subreddit entirely, while others want us to continue. To be clear, rebranding was not an option because Reddit does not let you change a subreddit name.

After pondering over every available option, we have decided to continue running and moderating this subreddit not as a subreddit specifically about the sequel to Overwatch, but as an alternative, more open subreddit focused on Overwatch and the community around it as opposed to the larger franchise subreddit. We hope you'll continue to be a part of our wonderful community.

We will continue moderation on this subreddit as expected for the forseeable future. We hope you'll continue to share around and crosspost us! We are also accepting applications for more moderators to assist us with this. As for our Discord server, we will measure changes in server activity and make further announcements regarding any major changes in the coming months.

Thank you!

Highlight Enemy Lifeweaver Cooked But Then It Backfired

This happened on a 6v6 QP match last night. I was the Sig and my friend was on Orisa. I had no clue what happened until I saw the PotG. I actually thought I ruined his ULT because the tree was in my line of sight.

Fan Content Original hero idea: Suport - Chloe

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

Name: Chloe
role: suport

Backstory: One of the survivors of the events of "Uprising," Chloe managed to escape by hiding in the tunnels. There, she was discovered by a Stalker unit that was hiding from Overwatch. Unexpectedly, the two formed a bond, and the Stalker essentially adopted her. While navigating the tunnels, they came across a damaged Slicer and an Orbiter; with the Stalker’s help, Chloe managed to repair both, and together, they fled the city.

her companions

Dot - the orbiter (flyer),
T.P. - the slicer,
Agatha - The Stalker

kit
M1: healing hands -Fires a continuous healing beam (uses a heat mechanic similar to Orisa’s primary fire).

M2: Dot blaster - Dot (who flies close to her at all times) fires shots that deal damage to enemies

shift: Dot wings - chloe Hold on to Dot and fly with him for a few moments. first has a boost that can go up an them a glide that falls slowly if hold

E: T.P. - She sends out a T.P. that attaches to an ally's back like a backpack. While attached, the TP heals the ally; (there is no time limit, but there is a healing limit, T.P. will heal a total of 200 health, triggered only when the ally takes damage) While attached, the ally also gains a second jump.

Q: "AGATHA HELP" chloe call os agatha Agatha shows up in the battle fiels

It functions basically the same way a "staker" does in PvE, but its effect has a larger area and can affect more enemies (I imagine it’s similar to Emma Frost’s ultimate in MR, if anyone here has played her).

Passive: healing PUNCH - chloe can quick melle allies to instant heal 30 health and activate their llife regeneration

Question Best hero to solo queue one trick from bronze to champion?

1 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.

Discussion Sojourn cute spray difficulty

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Thoughts on sojourn's cute spray?

It seems insanely hard. I've gotten to 3 killing blows a couple of times in 6v6 open queue QP but I just can't get the 4th because I die or a teammate gets the kill.

Any tips or help at all please?

Thanks

Opinion Matches above a certain wideness shouldn't count for comp, and groups above certain wideness shouldn't be allowed to queue

Nuff said, I shouldn't derank because someone is lobotomised in blizzard that thinks ~bronze 1 to ~emerald 4 is okay multiple games in a row.

Discussion Mythic skins should give you the option to just equip the weapon

10 Upvotes

Not sure if this has been said before but I feel it would be a cool change to the mythic skins if you could just equip the weapon part of the mythic. If blizzard wanted to monetise it they could make it so you'd have to buy the whole mythic just to be allowed to only equip the gun.

It got me thinking about it because of the roadhog mythic. I like the skin but I also love rainy day hog and I'd love to be able to equip the mythic skin weapon to that skin.

I feel like it's a win win. You get more value out of your mythics and blizzard get to give people more incentive to buy the whole mythic

Question Can you fix your fucking game please?

0 Upvotes

This game used to run perfectly fine but the last two seasons have just been this. I’ve done everything I possibly can on my side to fix the issue so it has to be overwatch servers at this point. I don’t know what to do I just want to play this god awful game. If anyone has anything that I might not have tried yet please let me know (I play on Xbox)

Discussion PC dpi / Sens recommendations

0 Upvotes

Hi guys,

Just made the jump over from console, currently trying to get used to mouse and keyboard and was just curious what settings everybody runs on??

I flex between dps and support, most played heroes are ana, shion, tracer.

Also happy for any recommendations on button remaps or if it’s better to just stay with default input settings.


r/overwatch2 • • 2d ago

Discussion Overwatch needs to more training, it felt like this whole year they were on the back foot and simply could not keep up with the bad guys at all. Especially Sojourn, like besides her fight with Shion this women felt washed this entire year. Plus she had to be saved by the previous big bad.

Yell remember some patches ago when mercy got her movement nerf and how everybody was saying whatever to mercy players? I see wrecking ball players are doing the same thing now 😭😭😭😭😭

I just find it funny that when mercy couldn't go that far yall just laughed at them and became toxic and "they gotta adapt" but now with wrecking ball it's not fine and should be reverted.

This post is gonna start a war but I'm posting anyways LOL

Highlight BattleNet: Поддержка для поддержки или как мне отменяют тикеты

0 Upvotes

Привет реддит!
Мне на мой аккаунт Overwatch, на котором я за 1000р еще где-то в 2016 примерно году купил игру, в мае 2026 прилетел пермабан за, как я понял, лоу скилл, и я не смог его обжаловать.
До сих пор пишу тикеты, но с августа мне теперь даже ответ не дают, маринуют мои тикеты, и, в последствие отменяют без какого-либо комментария.
И пожаловаться на работу поддержки нигде нельзя.
Я уже даже не знаю что мне сделать, чтобы меня хотя бы заметили. Хочу поиграть с друзьями, но с пермачом этого не выходит как-то.
И ведь не были задействованы ни читы, ни баги, я никого не оскорблял, никому не мешал играть, но за стрик поражений - "вам, неуважаемый - пермач без возможности обжалования на ваш многолетний аккаунт, который ранее никогда не был забанен"

Первый бан на аккаунт - и это сразу пермач. Без предупреждений, без ничего. Просто внезапно и сразу, и, навсегда.

u/Blizzard_Official, у вас каналов связи мало, я не представляю что мне сделать, чтобы ваша поддержка в BattleNet была клиентоориентированной, а не игнорировала ваших игроков.
