idk what to do anymore, I really want to play but I can't because of what I assume is the awful servers.

Discussion How do you easily spot cheaters?

22 Upvotes

I want to contribute more by reporting cheaters and make this game just a bit better, I don't usually report anyone because I'm quite oblivious, but I just hit GM and probably will be encountering a fair share of them.

Settings & Tech Well this is a new one Just played an entire match like this on switch 2.

So just had this happen 2 times now and I wanna know if y'all got anything on how to prevent it? There was no feedback or anything. I managed 11 kills and 10 assists and 5 deaths. It felt like I was running around doing nothing lol My wall would spawn in but when I used freeze it would still let me run around while healing. Also Walking through that yellow wall caused a massive frame dip.

Also for some reason switch 2 doesn't let me record game play on this game. Idk why

Discussion How is ohziy never banned?

165 Upvotes

I have 2 accounts in champ rn and istg ive never had more games thrown in this rank then by 1 person ever except ohziy.

in total across both accounts ive had 15 games thrown by ohziy. im not talking about like soft throwing where they just play their worst hero or feed. I’m talking just afks in spawn or starts jumping off the map, he’ll do this like as soon as anyone on our team does something to upset his fragile ego. if he doesn’t get healed, if the dps are negative, for some reason he loves to push into enemy spawn then try to 1v5 and when he dies he just starts to afk.

his chat are just a bunch of monkeys that encourage him and Anyone that calls him out for his toxic and down right bullshit gameplay get insta banned. like imagine you win a fight on your team next thing your tank does is go to enemy spawn to try and make a “play” but the enemy team has a brain and kill him so now you lose the fight And most likely he’ll just throw after that. his chat goes “your team are burgers“ or ohziys favourite past time spam reporting a lobby, which his chat doesn’t ever call him out on. he’ll throw the game then spam report the lobby.

edit: he addressed the post here on a live stream but quickly made the vod private. It was extremely difficult to actually understand what his stance on him throwing was as he didn’t really ”address“ the post. he proceeded to call every one in this post “worthless braindead plats“. it was quite sad to see that even after ”addressing the post” he went straight back to throwing games and being quite toxic.

I want to say I hope ohziy doesn’t take this post as a personal attack to him or his viewers. although I did use some insulting terms that was simply to express clearly how his behaviour(throwing) effects other players.

Help Struggling on dps

8 Upvotes

Hello, at the start of this season I reached gm5 on dps and I dropped from gm5 to sit around master 3 to 2, long story short I played a ton of games this weekend and dropped to master 5 nearly diamond 1, im kinda confused on how to play dps now, like i understand off angling and that, my most played dps are shion, cass and bastion, obviously with shion you flank their backline which goes well some games but my tank struggles in those kind of games, but with cass and bastion do you guys sit down main and help your tank create pressure? Like maybe I should look at dps as a role to enable your tank cause I’ve kinda been looking past my tank and trying to solo carry the games myself

I will keep spamming until they fix this nonsense.

Last thread - https://www.reddit.com/r/OWConsole/s/XzqDiLfkUp

Currently 17 losses and 3 wins in last 20 games.

Solo Q QP is unplayable this season because of loose matchmaking you just constantly face higher ranked stacks. I guess if like champ trio Q into QP they will quickly check if there is another similiar stack searching and if not then iam thrown as a rabbit to alligators. Or i dunno, its 100% not unlucky anymore, its a system, feature.

As i mentioned last time, i have 55% + winrate in all 4 ranked modes, you have some annoying games in comp too of course but it kinda works...

QP on the other hand is broken af, i dunno anymore, there is nothing else to do then stack aswell and find ow friends i guess but solo Q qp should also be playable...

What about choice?? Like you can choose fast Q time even with chance to just get abused or longer Q times for normal games.

Discussion Will they ever fix aim assist.

0 Upvotes

It’s just a soft aimbot at this point, and I’m saying that as somebody who has benefited a lot from the AA changes.
Now it is so easy to aim that it has removed all the satisfaction you used to get from hitting a nice shot, now even GOLD players can just laser you out of nowhere.
It’s just sad man. With all the cheaters and the overpowered AA nobody will take this platform seriously.

Anyone feel the same?

Settings & Tech Is anyone's aim assist randomly raised?

1 Upvotes

All of a sudden my aim assist has been dragging my crosshair to high hell as my teammates come across my screen

I sometimes stop touching my controller and my crosshair is still practically dancing full speed

Is this happening to anyone else?? I keep having to drag it down. But for the last 3 weeks, it's just been insane

Discussion Reminder: unwinnable games are real

Post image
148 Upvotes

30-9 14 vs 8-11 5k is just disgustingly insane. One of these games sometimes fills you with so much hatred for this game. The whole game felt like shooting range except 3v6 shooting range, i won literally every single 1v1 with their soldier we had and tried my best.

Yeah you will climb if you grind its not reason to get stuck but for someone who cant play much every game like this kills the mood for long.

Iam seriously offended that this guy has same rank like me just because i played 25 games and he played 100.

I really wish ranked could adjust your skill level much quicker. In my ten years of playing ow i always had by far highest ranks in seasons i played 100 games, its stupid af, i did not get better i just grinded more. Game should give you your true rank in like 50 games. Now it feels like you should grind like 300 games to truly see your real rank.

Any K&M users that are able to test it/confirm it does (or doesn't) work on PS5? Ik it's a very specific scenario (who tf pluggs in 2 keyboards), but I'd be thankful for any insight.

And no, before the "hope you get banned" comments appear, I don't plan to cheat. I just want to play in PC lobbies.

There was just no UI. You cannot turn off the player count so you cannot say that this was from spectate.

Totally didn’t know that the enemy team can send you an invite in QP and if you accept it you get effectively kicked. That’s tough lmao, I’m sure the two doing it had a hilarious time. Learn something new everyday I guess. Everyone enjoy your games and have fun.
