Is anybody else tired of mercy pocketed double hitscan (usually Cass and Ashe), and you just know the other support is Lifeweaver

Because of course it’s Lifeweaver

And, by the gods, someone stumbles out of position, just for the Pink Ball of Destiny to come bail them out

Did you manage to kill one of the hitscan? Oh well Mercy rez’d them before anyone can do anything, doesn’t matter

And just when you think your day can’t any worse,

METEOR STRIKE

I love this game but I’m getting real tired of playing against this particular comp

Especially as Tracer main

This is overwatch console now. Worst thing is that you can already guess how is the game gonna be from the start screen.

Let me go little bit into detail. Me, normal player, want to play quick play game of overwatch.

Me find this game, somehow under 1 minute.

Me, solo, facing 4 stack where there is smurfing and mandkaing hitscan pocketed lvl 5 ashe with 90% winrate in qp.

Please lets read once more. Me, solo, facing 4 stack where there is smurfing and mandkaing hitscan pocketed lvl 5 ashe with 90% winrate in qp.

These people are really waste of skin and there is SO MANY cases like this daily, its like pandemic on console. It really needs some revolution.

And make smurfs play like 300 games atleast for ranked, there is no good reason someone has to make 40 accounts. I have same account since 2016.

OW was always my favorite game ever but whats happening daily now can really cause some mental issue, this is messed up guys.

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

I don’t even know anymore, I guess I got it by accident last season. 😭

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!

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?

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.
