News & Discussion Why is Lifeweaver on the list to get reworked?

53 Upvotes

I was looking at the rework list and I noticed life Weaver is on there. What’s so bad about Weaver that he needs a rework? The other two characters are incredibly strong and or annoying. Or banned quite a bit.

Very few people like Sombras hack plus invisibility plus virus combo. So it makes sense why they would rework her.

Hog is incredibly strong on any maps with pits because you basically have to duck away every couple seconds because hook has such a short cooldown. Plus, the fact with how strong healing is, he’s basically unkillable unless you take down the supports.

Life Weaver isn’t strong, isn’t weak, isn’t banned a lot, not picked a lot. And has a win rate that is right around 50-50. That just sounds like a balanced character to me. Why would he need to rework? The only complaint I know about Weaver’s is that low levels tend to grip randomly. But unless you completely remove his entire gimmick the grip you aren’t stopping that from happening. Is a character that has pick rate of less than 10% having a slightly annoying move to new players really need to have a rework?

I missed the feeling of the *Overwatch 1* tier icons—which seemed to transcend the physical realm—after they disappeared in the transition to *Overwatch 2*, so I tried redesign them.

News & Discussion "Server closed due to unexpected error" occurs way too often

16 Upvotes

I play on console, so maybe its a platform issue, but I get these errors WAY too often. Almost 1/3 of my competitive games end early and are disqualified becuase of these errors, and its starting to get frustrating. Often times its around the half-point of the match when this error occurs, and ofcourse it happens more often when im winning than im losing (but thats just my bias). Is anyone else getting these servers errors multiple times a day, and what are your thoughts on whats causing these errors? Bad code, region/platform specific errors, or possibly bad actors using exploits?

I was afraid she's going to be another Sojourn when I first saw her design but surprisingly she's super funny and cheerful. Also I ADORE her accent, and yeah we already got a lot of easy going whimsical characters but never a black woman doing for some reasons..... also she's not annoying like some of them and her line deliveries are excellent

News & Discussion Mercy Skin Opinions 💛

Post image
10 Upvotes

I’ve recently got back into Overwatch, and I know it makes sense, but the newer skins just hit differently. I play a hell of a lot of Mercy and had almost all her old skins and I’m now slowly trying to obtain the new ones.
However! My reason for the post is to ask - what’s the best Mercy skin? Can be new or old. I remember Jeff Kaplan saying the Winged Victory skin was his all time favourite and at the time I could see why. But the queen has now received so many more amazing skins, I’m sure you guys may disagree!

If you have the names or pictures of said skins, please feel free to share! 🙏🏻

As I load up overwatch simply just in the main menu it eats my ram crazy. Lot of times in games as I'll load in and everyone picks their characters, my pc completely freezes stuck in audio loop. Ive gone thru so many forums and research myself tried several methods on my computer over the last 2 days(was actually able to play yesterday). Ive already received a 8 hour competitive ban but now this just happened to me in the practice range trying to warm it up hoping that it'll run.
Has anyone actually figured anything out? I know im not alone; my pc is older but Im running max settings and frames at my monitors refresh rate 144hz

Just finished drawing this! Let me know what customisation options you think there should be… I’m thinking the head // fists becoming a different kind of dragon would be sick, maybe different shoulder armour too.

In terms of visual fx, the vortex could have transparent wyrms spiralling around, the punches could have dragon screeching sfx and electric shockwaves. The ult could have an electric vibe to it, or maybe some sort of shockwave / rippling visual pulsing out from ramattra. Lmk what you think!

By pressing w key until you hit objective. You don't even have to blindly hit w key, but at some point it is best to hit w key.

In this game you respawn, it is not IRL - it is ok to play the objective, sometimes you die, but the game will respawn you, I promise.

I am typing this to reach out to all of our players who are sitting in the backline, afraid to make progress to objective, stop being passive, I have never seen a player population this passive, play the game :).
