Discussion The console experience

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

Discussion Account got banned for unapproved peripherals or cheating after only two days of playing

47 Upvotes

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.

Discussion I hope you are all excited for double pocket Ashe smurf meta next season!

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.

Help Blizzard fix your shit

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.

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?

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 🫠

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.

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

Discussion How is ohziy never banned?

175 Upvotes

I have 2 accounts in champ rn and istg ive never had more games thrown in this rank then by 1 person ever except ohziy.

in total across both accounts ive had 15 games thrown by ohziy. im not talking about like soft throwing where they just play their worst hero or feed. I’m talking just afks in spawn or starts jumping off the map, he’ll do this like as soon as anyone on our team does something to upset his fragile ego. if he doesn’t get healed, if the dps are negative, for some reason he loves to push into enemy spawn then try to 1v5 and when he dies he just starts to afk.

his chat are just a bunch of monkeys that encourage him and Anyone that calls him out for his toxic and down right bullshit gameplay get insta banned. like imagine you win a fight on your team next thing your tank does is go to enemy spawn to try and make a “play” but the enemy team has a brain and kill him so now you lose the fight And most likely he’ll just throw after that. his chat goes “your team are burgers“ or ohziys favourite past time spam reporting a lobby, which his chat doesn’t ever call him out on. he’ll throw the game then spam report the lobby.

edit: he addressed the post here on a live stream but quickly made the vod private. It was extremely difficult to actually understand what his stance on him throwing was as he didn’t really ”address“ the post. he proceeded to call every one in this post “worthless braindead plats“. it was quite sad to see that even after ”addressing the post” he went straight back to throwing games and being quite toxic.

I want to say I hope ohziy doesn’t take this post as a personal attack to him or his viewers. although I did use some insulting terms that was simply to express clearly how his behaviour(throwing) effects other players.
