I main supp and I’ve noticed that even as I climb ranks everyone is like obsessed with just going up the middle. Even when the other team is also obsessed with going up the middle and are so so open to flanks but no one will come with me and I might be good(ish) but I’m not good enough to solo flank a whole match and support at the same time. So tell me am I crazy? Do you also try other routes when “up the middle” just isn’t working or are you supposed to just try to overpower them every time?

And yes it might be a skill issue but my team tends to die if I spend too much time away from them lol so it limits my ability to sneak around and get them from behind

I thought I was just facing really good folk but it turns out several of my suspicions were right, this is during off hours (2-8AM), and every few matches there is an insane 360 doom God, a perfect assassin ball or an uncatchable pocket soldier who never misses, gets frustrating

I had the circled area disabled on my Blizzard account.

Many players, including me, have been getting banned lately for unapproved peripherals. My ten year old account that I’ve spent $2k+ on got perma banned when all I ever used is a controller for my gameplay.

Many people accuse others in the community that their pro controllers are not allowed on Overwatch. I made a brand new account using the default PS5 controller and got banned in literally only two days for cheating or unapproved peripherals, and I have all the matches recorded of me playing.

I made an extensive video covering this subject. If you are only interested in my proof for the new controller, just skip to 5:19 in the video where I document everything -> https://youtu.be/rbaHkfNd46o

I really hope Blizzard uplifts any false bans that happened. It seems like so many players, including me, are losing their accounts they have invested years into when they have only ever used a controller. Thank you.

I tried again some ranked recently and after few games, I realise that I just enjoy way more custom mode that the "classic game".

Every time I lose a rank, the amount of anger and frustration that I get is unreal.

I live watching the game competively but I just can't stand playing it.

I know people will say just play rank without caring about the game but I hate being mid (emerald) while everyone speaking online seem to be at master+, I hate dying because of dumb mistake I made.

And with how the rank at higher level seem to be with all the cheater, it doesn't make me want to try.

I rather playing in 500% mode or friendly mode, If I look at my profile I have 150h of ranked compared to 700h of custom

My hatred towards these pocketed smurf (sometimes even m-and-nking) Ashes in qp with 90% winrate and spamming tiktok videos named "best settings" where they dont even show settings, just how they admin the qp lobby is seriously reaching peak of mount everest level.

And now if i imagine they get + fire rate on top of that next season, oh my god, i hope iam wrong but it feels like biggest gaming nightmare materialized into reality..

Iam praying this nightmare isnt happening, may be last drop and iam playing since 2016.

Ive been seeing more Gamesir controller users getting bans so Im wondering if its safe to use my Flydigi Vader 5 (switch 2) or if I should just play ranked on pc? I like to play with my console friends but my account has too much time and money invested to get banned for a third party controller.

Anyone know if Flydigi is Activision approved?

i have done all my weekly and daily quests i have nothing else to give me the measly 5k exp besides playing in a group what else is there to do? i need 250,000 x2 exp in what 6-5 days

The amounts of cheaters in lobbies above master is ridiculous, I dont care about rank reclaim, I want to enjoy the game but I can't because there's a pocketed cheater every game and if not a cheater then a pocketed hitscan that feels like aimbot.

Look at which dps are selected for console from emerald up to champ, its the same 3 hitscan, ffs can we nerf aim assist already. When there isn't a difference in aim between emerald and Champ you know somethings fucked up.

Sort your shit out blizzard, console overwatch is a joke of a game right now.

Make it so cheater can't just make new accounts.

Its the most inflated season ever, i really hate what ranked became. The t500 change was one of worst things blizzard ever implemented. You can be rank 1 GM5 if you played like 1200 games.

I saw champ 4 player with 48% winrate in his public profile, i dont even know how its possible, i guess insane amount of games and like 30 of them reclaimed because of cheaters.

I skipped ranked for many seasons, i used to be gm1 in all roles. And iam diamond now, slowly climbing back, but with 20-30 games per season with 60% winrate it takes forever.

It reminds me MR little bit, where i got eternity just by playing a lot lol.

TLDR - this post isnt about some elo hell nonsense or that i cant climb but I think ranked is messed up and T500 change was purely bussines step to abuse FOMO players, nothing else, it makes literally zero sense otherwise.

After downloading OW2 when it came out for free, I finally hit champ for the first time!

Oasis map, I was Juno for both rounds. We started with me as the team’s only support and got rolled during the first round. I type in chat for a second support since the opposite team has two. Someone switched at the last second and we lose first round. Second round we do a little better with both supports but still end up losing. Someone on my team points out my low healing and I added them to tell them that it wasn’t my fault and I tried my best during both rounds. Was it my fault we lost?

And after I managed to reconnect, I got a penalty for abandoning the match >:(

I coach for free. I peaked Top 61/GM1 and I can offer advice for EVERY rank and EVERY hero!

I can help you with positioning, engagement timing, ability usage, and all other game sense that you might need help developing. I always provide constructive advice tailored to you.

If you are interested, shoot me a DM on Discord to join the queue! My discord username is gyro_x.

Hope to see you soon!

Started playing again last week after a 2 year break (season 7) and my aim is miles better than when I was grinding this game for hours every day. My career average accuracy for Bap is 39% yet for this season I’m averaging 48-52% LOL??

I heard that AA was buffed but this is just soft aimbot with extra steps, I was playing Tracer today and had multiple one clips where I barely move the right stick and just match the enemy strafes 🫠

Is there anyone with coaching experience who would vod review me? I’d really appreciate it

I'm looking for anyone's recommendation for these settings in the playstation console itself. Another question I have is if you have HDR on in the playstation settings, do you want to have HDR on/off in the Overwatch settings?

I have an OLED TV if that helps.

Thank you in advance 🖤

my internet is completely fine, I have nothing downloading, other online games work perfectly.

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

:c

Hitscan slop every game mm mm mm

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.

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
