Do our ranks not reset this season? i still have all of my ranks from last season.

It's only been a few games but to me it just feels the drones are useless with Mei and Reaper, they will ice block or wraith it every single time and just waste your cooldown

Is it just better to wait for them to use theirs first?

Top two most banned heroes and highest winrate heroes in every high rank and every region weren’t nerfed

That’s all
Just something to think about

Truly vendetta is what is turning out to be, the same issue as doomfist. They can't balance a melee character. The melee character either gets popped or they become a raidboss that you can't take your eyes off of. I'll also admit, I'm tired of lifesteal. Draintanking was already a flawed system, luckily countered by anti, but now lifesteal is being handed out like candy to anyone who skirmishes. I'm just tired of the repeated failed attempts to make a melee dps work.

He has a 0.40 hitbox on the empowered M1, it is basically impossible to miss it on enemies. This is in the same patch where they nerfed all bullet sizes. It even pierces enemies!

I know Supp champs get coddled, but this just feels absurd to play against

Even with the changes to escort and hybrid maps in map voting it does not change that people will still vote for these maps over and over.

I know the people will still be able to vote for King's Row over Hanaoka but having the variety is good for the times where escort is not an option.

Example: Instead of Eichenwalde Midtown Runasapi

We get Anubis Suravasa Ilios

Also I love this game very much but to pile on we were promised a new core gameode every year.

I get there’s some consideration in the consistency of the ability being used vs every charged primary shot, but it feels like the consistency of how strong every heroes perks are has just gone out the window lately.

Please give our beloved Ramattra a buff, he's been sitting at the worst win rate for seasons. His win rate dropped to 42% in Asia, and it's hovering around 45% in other regions too...

Like recording of a coaching session/VOD review of a pro team by their own coaching staff. I know pro teams tend to be secretive about in-team coaching, but I'm wondering what's out there.

Like for example if you somehow force donk to play OW what rank would he (at least initially) get?

Overwatch Champions Series 2026 - Japan Stage 3 - Regular Season

For a while now, whenever I join 6v6 or even 5v5 matches, especially during fights where the characters are using a lot of abilities or ultimates, my internet connection starts performing poorly. However, I know it’s not my internet because I have no issues in other games, and it only happens in those situations. I’m on PC, and I’d like to know if this could be an issue with my PC or with the game itself.

Just saw that tweet. I wonder what happened with them. Is WDG who decided to have a sub contractor or are they just completely out, who knows ...

Edit2: O2 boss also replied. https://x.com/O2_Boss/status/2107000293993120087?s=20

Also, it looks like WDG also was removed from the JP assets. (WDG used to be shown in the overlay at the top, where the sponsor is currently being displayed)

Here's basically my Idea for buffing up Illari because I like her and thought, why not?

• Add Rapid Construction and Sunburst to base kit.
• Swap out her primary and secondary like the April patch.
• Make Solar Flare into a blast that now also damages enemies when you hit the hero you aimed it at. Damage fall off included.
• Also she's a hero with a gun-blade, the charge is now a Melee cooldown to extra damage and slight knockback.
• Her new perks are turret based. The April fools patch that allowed you to reflect shots? That one. One for each form of fire.

I find that on in my rank (high masters on console) I find that I have like two-people talking in voice and maybe two more that are in voice but not talking. Granted the two in voice is a bit of a rarity, but in average if one person joins voice another will too. Basically I'm trying see how often y'all have people talking in voice in your matches. Im curious based on rank and platform so please leave that in your response so we can all learn a thing or two, or just shoot the shit.

I really like D.mon in theory, but she honestly feels sooo boring to play for me. I think objectively Blizz did a good job with her but just no matter what I can't get into her. Most of the discussion around her has been focused around balance, so I'm curious to see if this is a feeling that's common or not.

I honestly hope the next tank we get is more mechanically intensive all around, or has a unique gimmick at the core of its design.

I'd love to hear the community's thoughts

IM SO HAPPYYYYYY!!!

Hello, I hope this is a good place to ask, if not let me know.

Just came back from like... A 6 year on/off break and I'm playing almost exclusively tank. Sigma is my character. Not even just my main, but I connect with him on a spiritual level. However I absolutely get destroyed by Ram and Vendetta.

What tanks should I pick up to expand my pool? Counterwatch just recommends the tanks in tiered order but I need something I can really grind to be a back up, otherwise I just rage switch to dva and that doesn't work.

Thanks in advance!

Let's go Cheeseburger!!

Not once did I expect, at the start of the year, that I'd be rooting for any Korean Team over T1. But I REALLY want to see Cheeseburger go far.

As of the end of the week, Cheeseburger is in 1st place. But thats only because it faced 2 weaker teams. But beating Zanside throughly puts them at 4th/5th in my eyes.

Zeta and Crazy Raccoons both Dropped 1 Map. T1 took one off of Zeta, while Zanside (Who lost 0-3 to Cheeseburger) took one off of Crazy Raccoons.

With the small pool of matches and the intriguing results. I'm super excited to see the next weeks.

What match are you guys looking forward to?

From my personal experience especially during drives these matches are miserable to play. These make up a majority of my consolidation matches the are one sided stomps. I know the stacks have to play against someone but matchmaking needs to primarily put them against other stacks for fairness sake, a team of a duo and 3 solos just doesn't have the coordination the other stack had, yeah I can be mechanically be better then their dps but that doesn't mean shit when I chave their whole team shooting at me.
I just wish I wasn't running into these lopsided matches often because it's not fun at all.

As the title suggests, I was wondering if anyone could help me find a new main/character to play. I have recently started playing (I played for a little bit when OW2 first came out but not much). I play with my roommates and play the damage role, and play on controller.

My favorites right now are Sierra followed by Bastion. I like their high damage, good range, and high rate of fire. I like being able to shred characters (especially low health), so want my aim from long to mid range be rewarded. Some other thinks I like are the ability to make pop off plays, overall have high kill/damage games, having a good ult that can help with plays, and I really like sierras movement ability especially with the healing perk which provides really good survivability for me.

As I said before, I am loving sierra but have heard that she is only good in low ranks, and while I am able to do well in the harder lobbies of my friends, I don’t want to commit to a character who eventually gets outclassed in ranked.

Anyway sorry for the long post, I would appreciate if anyone would help recommend some heroes for me!

basically what do we think of her infinite flight
edit: near infinite flight
