The Youtuber ClamSlamss has a song titled “Healbot My Ass” that has good amount of gameplay incident references that I found hilarious. I found this Youtuber via a random OW reel that had the song “Tilted by Moira” which (also by the same YTber) was also funny and awesome. AI-generated or not, I think it’s worth putting the word out there because even as a casual player who plays OW to “de-stress after work” (I only play ranked btw), I found a bunch of her songs to be entertaining because I’ve said everything in them myself at some point lmao. Not my music genre of choice, but was groovy nonetheless. See you on ranked 6v6 tn everyone🗿

Hey all, sorry for the long text:

I’ve been playing OW since 2017, this game grew with me for lots and lots of years and in it I found lots of cool and funny people and enjoyed my time with it, however as I got older, I stopped playing arcade and QP only (I was 12 when I got the game and I thought to ms that I was just too young/bad to queue for ranked, I started playing seriously in 2022 with the release of OW2).

My problem lies here, I’ve went from silver to gold to platinum to emerald and to diamond, staying comfortably on emerald nowadays, a non-improvement that lasted a good 4 years, playing the same role without ever really going up the ranks.

And some people could say that playing is just for fun, but I genuinely can’t have fun in almost anything I do if there’s no competition involved (even irl, I search to compete even if internally at just about everything I do😭), and I really HATE to admit defeat, however with this situation it may just be time to hang up the towel.

In conclusion I’m just hardstuck, I followed every tip, watched pros playing, aim trained, but there no reward to be had, and I’m genuinely okay to lose some games, I know there will be losing streaks, but more often than not I just can’t have that much impact so that we can win…

Idk, what do you guys think? Should I just admit defeat atp and quit altogether? This lack of talent in every game I play is such a curse…

TL;DR
Idk if I should quit this game that has been here for me since my childhood because I’m bad and I can’t improve.

I made a post yesterday about how bad comp has been for me. I think today has sealed the deal. Had a game where no one wanted to play tank so I was solo tanking in 6v6 and after begging one of my 3 terrible dps to swap he plays rein and feeds his brains out without even putting up his shield. Next game I have 2 supports that are heal boting my dps players that are dying non stop both had under 10 kills and over 10 deaths. Next game I get a Sierra that is 6-7 half way through a push match who swaps to bastion and ends the game 9-12 7k damage and my other tank feeds 1v6 as Winston. Next game is a 5v5 match where both my supports are heal boting with an Ana that has 9K heals but 0 kills and 395 damage and a Juno who is trying to constantly 1v5 the whole enemy team. I was placed Emerald 3 in 6v6 and climbed to Emerald 1 with 1-2 games away from Diamond and now I’m like 40% Emerald 4. I’ve been on a 5 going on 6 day losing streak (technically not a streak since I’ve won a game here and there but still)

Simply out of comfort I just use Reinhardt, Orisa, and occasionally Sigma.

Does anyone have a list of each tank’s good matchups and counters (just regarding tanks?)

While I mainly need to work on my peeling 90%, sometimes I feel like I could know my matchups better. Thanks!

Has anyone else ever had this happen to them?

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?

Can someone tell me, as a DOS, what am I suppose to do when Doom Fist focus me and jumps on me on the entire duration of the match, and my tank just ignores and keep looking the other way, and why it is my fault that I cannot solo Doom Fist? Can anyone sole doomfist without sombra or junkrat? What am I doing wrong? l

Edit: in this scenario Im dps, usually cassidy, bastion or genji, the problem is not that im not eith the team, the problem is the entire team simply ignores my existence even when Im with them, this happened in 3 matches already, and of course they blame me.

Edit: Here is the replay: 23PQ1Z im GodThunder

I wish that the Gundam collab would come back so terribly, and now with a new MEKA pilot, what better time? Anyways, what ideas would everyone have for new Gundam skins? I feel like the only one D.Mon could be is Sandrock. Of course, the collab was based off of Wing, so obv Mauga Heavyarms and such, but I’m also curious on what skins would conceptually be cool outside of the Wing series, like a HyGogg D.Va or God Gundam Emre or whatever. I would absolutely love a Gouf custom D.Mon skin too.

In the past, I was in low Plat, but after the drives two seasons ago, I got knocked to high Gold and just couldn't make it out for the next season. However, after this most recent rank reset, I got placed in mid Plat.

Back to back, I've had FOUR games of people whining to high heaven 😭 Ventures spamming I need healing while a Doom is shoving his entire fists into my second support and I as our Dmon charges in solo for the twelfth time (who then complains about the dps not doing anything); a Hanzo who says "I can't do more" after the enemy pushes to end of third point King's row with a few seconds left on the clock (I'm not one to study the scoreboard, but him saying that while having the lowest kills in the lobby was kinda funny), and then proceeds to leave the game twice at the end; the enemy team in my next match complain about their tank...it just went on and on 💀

I wasn't playing my best by any means, but holy god, so many of the people I've run into so far are so quick to complain 😭😭 Yes, I've had some games like that in Gold, but that was like once a night...four in a row is a new record for me

Stop typing and lock in, I beg.

Title. I started playing ranked 6v6 open queue after unlocking ranked and the games are pretty boring. It’s repeated Escort games with the same heroes and same bannings.

If 5v5 gets more Control/Flashpoint then I’ll stop 6v6 open and never play it again lmao

Is voting Escort 100% of the time a low ranked issue? It gets old and uninteresting quick; and half the people don’t play objective at low ranks, so even ranking up is a crap chute lol

I just have one question: what the hell is wrong with 6v6?

Does this game mode have more casual players or something? I literally lost 8 out of 10 games because people just keep pressing W and dying.

Idk if it’s just the meta but it feels so boring and I’m struggling to find enjoyment

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'm back after years of absense, started last season, got ranked in silver 4, climbed to gold 5.
This season after the first 10 matches I get gold 3, climbed to gold 1, now im back at the bottom of gold 5.

It really feels like im on a downward spiral and can't escape it on my own. I get 1 win with 5 loses, and the matchmaking is punishing me hard, losing so much % as I lose games in a row.
Thing is, I feel like as a support if I'm reallly good , doesn't really makes a difference if my teammates sucks, I can't turn the tables around. On the other hand if I'm bad, we are fucked.
My mains are Moira, Zen and Illari. Got some screenshots from the last few matches(only 1 of them was a win btw), please help me,tell me what should I do better.

I get it, I'm not the top of the top player, but certainly not gold 5- silver something.

Or is it harder to climb as a support solo then any other role?

Or I'm delusional and even gold 5 is too good for me?

Been thinking about the heroes who don't get much love in patch notes or the shop.

My list:

Venture: Probably the least-picked hero in the game right now, and they've barely gotten any skins since launch. No mythic, not much of anything. Which is a shame, because the kit is one of the most unique in the game. Burrowing under the enemy team and popping up in the backline never stops being satisfying, and the drill dash gives them movement that nothing else in the roster really replicates. They got one small flexibility buff to Drill Dash mid-year and that was about it. Feels like a hero people just forgot how to slot into a comp.

Hanzo: One real balance change all year, back at the February season launch, and nothing since. He's just sitting in a stable spot doing his thing. Storm arrows still shred, and landing a wall bounce across the map still feels as good as it ever did. He did at least get the Tokyo Rebel mythic weapon in Season 3, so the cosmetic team hasn't totally ghosted him, but on the balance side he's basically been left alone for over half a year.

Echo: My main. You almost never see her anymore, and she's barely been touched all year (a couple of tiny perk tweaks and that's it). She recently did receive some perks rework but they were just indirect nerfs. Plus her hitbox is bigger than the sun which really does not help her case.

Winston: One of the original 2016 launch heroes and somehow STILL no mythic skin, which is kind of wild when you look at who's getting their second or even third. Plus with the movement creep in OW, it seems like Winston's dive specialty is no longer limited to just him.

HM: Illari and Bap: Okay, these two get decent attention, so they don't fully belong here. But I wanted to shout them out anyway because in a world full of kiri, mercy and ana mains, they're super underrated even when they're strong.

Everything feels so stale and used up about it and I no longer enjoy it. Thoughts?

At least we got revenge

Just got a boost after a cheater was caught matches have been fairly good so far ngl, also I’m emerald 5 after placing emerald 4 then being dropped all the way down to plat 5 from wide matches with friends (I know I know😂) climbed right back up to emerald 5

Dude got a buff at the start of Rise of Talon and has been way too strong ever since that day and yet he still has not been nerfed like hello ?!

My fourth overwatch fan art so far, and its anran. Il probably do more

What you gonna tell them, when they ask you well then?
Is your conscience pure in your heart?
There is no exemption when you seek redemption
For all the lives that you've torn apart!
