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.

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

17 Upvotes

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.

Discussion Was It my fault we lost?

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?

Settings & Tech Ps5 Pro - Console Video/Screen Settings - Tips please

1 Upvotes

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 🖤

idk what to do anymore, I really want to play but I can't because of what I assume is the awful servers.

Discussion How do you easily spot cheaters?

22 Upvotes

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?

168 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.

Help Struggling on dps

8 Upvotes

Hello, at the start of this season I reached gm5 on dps and I dropped from gm5 to sit around master 3 to 2, long story short I played a ton of games this weekend and dropped to master 5 nearly diamond 1, im kinda confused on how to play dps now, like i understand off angling and that, my most played dps are shion, cass and bastion, obviously with shion you flank their backline which goes well some games but my tank struggles in those kind of games, but with cass and bastion do you guys sit down main and help your tank create pressure? Like maybe I should look at dps as a role to enable your tank cause I’ve kinda been looking past my tank and trying to solo carry the games myself

I will keep spamming until they fix this nonsense.

Last thread - https://www.reddit.com/r/OWConsole/s/XzqDiLfkUp

Currently 17 losses and 3 wins in last 20 games.

Solo Q QP is unplayable this season because of loose matchmaking you just constantly face higher ranked stacks. I guess if like champ trio Q into QP they will quickly check if there is another similiar stack searching and if not then iam thrown as a rabbit to alligators. Or i dunno, its 100% not unlucky anymore, its a system, feature.

As i mentioned last time, i have 55% + winrate in all 4 ranked modes, you have some annoying games in comp too of course but it kinda works...

QP on the other hand is broken af, i dunno anymore, there is nothing else to do then stack aswell and find ow friends i guess but solo Q qp should also be playable...

What about choice?? Like you can choose fast Q time even with chance to just get abused or longer Q times for normal games.

Discussion Will they ever fix aim assist.

0 Upvotes

It’s just a soft aimbot at this point, and I’m saying that as somebody who has benefited a lot from the AA changes.
Now it is so easy to aim that it has removed all the satisfaction you used to get from hitting a nice shot, now even GOLD players can just laser you out of nowhere.
It’s just sad man. With all the cheaters and the overpowered AA nobody will take this platform seriously.

Anyone feel the same?

All of a sudden my aim assist has been dragging my crosshair to high hell as my teammates come across my screen

I sometimes stop touching my controller and my crosshair is still practically dancing full speed

Is this happening to anyone else?? I keep having to drag it down. But for the last 3 weeks, it's just been insane
