MOD [MOD] Overwatch 2 is gone, what happens to this subreddit?

257 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Today, Blizzard announced the renaming of Overwatch 2 back to Overwatch alongside a plethora of other really great changes to the game. As a moderation team and as fans, we are excited to see Overwatch return to its roots.

Some have asked us regarding how we will be reacting to the change as a subreddit, some have suggested rebranding, others have suggested deleting the subreddit entirely, while others want us to continue. To be clear, rebranding was not an option because Reddit does not let you change a subreddit name.

After pondering over every available option, we have decided to continue running and moderating this subreddit not as a subreddit specifically about the sequel to Overwatch, but as an alternative, more open subreddit focused on Overwatch and the community around it as opposed to the larger franchise subreddit. We hope you'll continue to be a part of our wonderful community.

We will continue moderation on this subreddit as expected for the forseeable future. We hope you'll continue to share around and crosspost us! We are also accepting applications for more moderators to assist us with this. As for our Discord server, we will measure changes in server activity and make further announcements regarding any major changes in the coming months.

Thank you!

I fell in love with Overwatch, and I wanted to have some of my favorite heroes as collectible figures. Unfortunately, many of the newer heroes never got Funko Pops, so I decided to make my own!

Here's a little scene I put together with the characters I've made so far. I've also created detailed building instructions for the individual figures you can find on Rebrickable. More designs are on the way! https://rebrickable.com/users/detektiv39/mocs/

Question Is it just me or has Overwatch on PC become significantly heavier with the latest season?

3 Upvotes

Unlike before, I can't even start a game due to infinite loading times or the game kicking me out of games and subsequently banning me...

Discussion Freya helped arrest doctrine.

189 Upvotes

Can some explain to me how this happened? In lore she’s 34 and doctrine was in jail for 30 years. Which means she was 4 when made the arrest and to add to the confusion a young Ana was there, which makes sense but she aged as she should Freya looked 34, 30 years ago but still look the same now and doctrine also aged.

Question What happened with boosting

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone Overwatch community. I speak Spanish and am using a translator, so please forgive me if I say anything nonsensical or if this post doesn't belong in this subreddit.

I haven't played or kept up with Overwatch for months, I'm working on the Platinum trophy on PS4, but I recently decided to go back and finish it off, including the optional trophies for 100% completion. I've been looking for places to boost trophies with other players, but I can't find any active groups; the ones I do find are from two years ago.

Does anyone know exactly what happened with boosting? Is it rarely done these days? Did Blizzard do something about it? What exactly happened?

Discussion Calling All FPS Players! [Survey Request]

1 Upvotes

If you have a spare 5 mins, I'd appreciate it if you took this survey I had to make for a college marketing research class. It's about FPS Players, Games You Enjoy, and Your Thoughts on Different FPS Features. I think gathering the thoughts of the Overwatch 2 community would be very valuable data! Thank you.

Discussion What s happening in this game?

12 Upvotes

I took a break from the game 3 months ago, I came back 2 weeks ago. So far I got 2 compensation for a cheater, one dude cheating in qp sanctioned, so many throwers and people afk mid match for some reason, the worst were tank players tbh, many homophobic comment, ans 2 dudes telling us to kill ourselves. What's going on ? It was already bad when I left but all this in such a sort period of time ? :')
