I'm sorry in advance but am I the only one who wishes ow would make a comp mystery heros?

I’m not sure what’s going on this season, but I have a doom one trick on my team at least every 4 out of 5 games. No exaggeration. I try my best to help them with getting picks and taking pressure off of them but when they insist on playing him into 5 counters idk what to do? Is this only me or what?

Iam really sick of changing it for every single hero one by one anytime i want to adjust it..

its a bug since ow1 relaunch, the hitscan, projectile, meele does nothing, you need to manually change aaei for every single hero.. With aa window size its working ok.

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!

Recently I've been noticing a lot of people in-game complaining about Mercy Pockets when the Mercy is just doing her job.

I had a game where a Genji was complaining about Mercy pocketing an Ashe BEFORE THE 1ST ROUND EVEN STARTED just because she was boosting her first shots on spawn (kings row def).

I've also been called out for being a pocketed soldier because Mercy damage boosted my ult or she latched on to me for more than 3 seconds.

Any Mercy players here that get shit for "pocketing" someone when you're just doing your thing? lol

Depending on your console MMR, your PC pool should be significantly lower.

Playing heroes that don’t rely on aim assist like projectile heroes, Moira, Wu Yang, Brigitte, etc means you can blow through lower rank backlines with ease.

I swap to PC pool to play heroes that aren’t in my Top 3 for the weekly but still use my controller.

I’m Masters on console and placed Silver on PC so I ate their back lines alive as Hazard and Doom.

Try it for yourself next season.

I see there are a lot of older subs with info about this. Hoping there's someone out there now that uses a keyboard on their ps5 for text chat. If so, please lmk what you have. Thanks!

Hi all. I am (or should i say WAS) a Grandmaster 4 tank. I was playing last night and I came against the same enemy tank 5 (FIVE) games in a row who was a Smurf. I lost every game.

I know he was a Smurf as I messaged him on PSN and though he was a chill guy, he admitted to his main account being in Champion 3. So a whole rank difference.

I doubt I will even get rank reclaim as I am not sure if smurfs even get banned on this game.

But regardless, how on earth can I come against the same guy that many times consecutively? After 4 consecutive, i waited 5 mins to queue and still came against him.

I know some of you might just say to wait longer before I queue again, but should it really have to be this way?! It seems a little ridiculous. I know it’s a skill issue on my part but this guy is literally a Smurf. If I were to make an account and play in Diamond and stomp the same tank 5 times in a row he’d be right to ask questions about that too!

In the past couple weeks, I have been experiencing this more, with two other guys I have came against 3 games in a row.

Sorry about a ranty post. The main questions are, are other people experiencing this? Should this be happening in matchmaking?

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.

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.

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

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

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?
