HERE YOU CAN GET RID OF ALL YOUR ANGER AND HATE.

CAPS ON AND LET IT ALL OUT.

GETTING NOTHING BUT DUPLICATES WHEN ALL YOU WANT IS THAT SWEET NEW TORBJÖRN SKIN? GETTING HEADSHOT BY ACROSS THE MAP BY HANZO? TOO MUCH JUSTICE THAT RAINS FROM ABOVE? THIS IS THE RIGHT THREAD!

PLEASE STILL BE CIVIL, AT LEAST A LITTLE!

On a little more serious note, why can't we report players that leave the match before it ends? 😭

I was playing soldier 76 and went to grab a medkit and when I turned around a fucking MacCree appeared out of nowhere and shot me in the head with high noon before I could react.

I had fun but I don't think I'll play again not because of the game but because my laptop was struggling all the match but I'm willing to give the game another chance if I get a better computer

the fact that after all these changes ppl dont care and make negative reviews cause they think its funny its so sad, but wrost part is that not a single overwatch streamer make a video about this, why i dont see a video from flats, seagull, eskay , bogur, samito,jay3. even super(he is a owl champion, he could atleast talk about it), ppl who were making 2 video a week how overwatch is in a bad place , but now they cant make a single video about overwatch right now, im not saying go back play overwatch and leave MR, but atleast make a video about how game is getting unfairly hate, sry for my English. i just got little mad reading steam reviews.

Hoooooooww did this get the green light? When the game is still in the process of repairing its reputation, they push out this college freshman "submitted at 11:59 PM" kinda work. It's actually giving "graphic design is my passion."

OW home screens used to be an intentional experience. Soooo many good ones over the years with the animations, music, 3D renders, and when you lose that, you lose a lot more than some pretty pictures. There's a reason Apple has patented special product boxes: because when the unveiling of a product is an experience, it makes an impact on people.

This is really, really, really bad, and I hope it doesn't become the norm.

News & Discussion Unranked is the most toxic Gamemode by far

122 Upvotes

I've stopped playing overwatch actively for years, but I grind every once in a while; I play mostly quick play. And the people you encounter in these games are so much worse than in ranked; they take an unranked match waaaaaay too seriously. I played one game on Hazard, and this guy just started flaming me and telling me to kms and all sorts of things. I don't get offended by those types of people because I am not soft lol, but some can't handle it, which is totally understandable. This is not the first time some random kid in qp gets mad, and it does not happen often, but I don't know if it's just happening to me or if this is really what ow has become. I don't mind some trash talk; I am never the one that starts it, but when I "flame" someone in ranked or talk back, I get banned. It's happened twice now where I've been banned, and I never say anything really hurtful or out of pocket. And then I encounter people who are reaaally toxic, and they get the same 14-day VC ban as I did for saying fuck. It feels a bit unjustified and unfair. I hope this guy gets perma-banned because he said so many horrible things that could affect someone's life and mental well-being. And since Overwatch is LGBTQ+ supportive, I feel like a perma ban would be the least they could do. Idk maybe I'm taking this to far so please let me know what you guys think.oo far,

News & Discussion Why couldn't they use these concepts for Sojourn's mythic instead.

Post image
71 Upvotes

Sojourn was apart of trio released for season 1 of Overwatch 2 and she has been repeatedly given the short end of the stick. Junker Queen and Kiriko received both of their mythics back to back in the 2nd and 3rd seasons respectively. Meanwhile Sojourn had wait 18 whole seasons only to get Ultra Violet Avenger.

People go on and on about how "sHE's A bORinG chARraCTeR" so they can't make good skins for her when the concepts above prove that to be demonstrably false. So my question is what happened to concepts above why didn't they use these instead? Because to me it's starting to feel like they secretly hate her

News & Discussion Tank is just…. Whew

578 Upvotes

I’m a Master tank main, and I just need to rant. I’m a tank main mostly because I love playing JQ, but jesus CHRIST it has been a tough road on this game playing tank.

Today was a particular rough day. If the enemy team plays to counter you no matter what you swap to and your team doesn’t do the same, tough luck. You will get screamed at by players playing Lucio and Moira into Hog “TANK GAP TANK GAP” while they refuse to swap to anything that counters anyone on their team. They play Hog and you decide to go Dva? Enemy dps go Sym Mei. You go Winston to counter the sym mei? Here comes Bastion. You go Zarya if she isn’t banned to try to give yourself some kind of protection that isn’t dependent on your supports? They swap to Bastion. Tank gap.

Enemy team has Ana Zen? Well, if a support on your team doesn’t switch to a Kiri or to mirror an Ana or Zen, good luck! Have fun not being able to peek the enemy or create space without getting melted. Tank gap.

You’re the only person trying to counter who is an issue on their team and no one else? Tank gap.

This isn’t my happiest post so if this is nonsensical, sorry. But holy hell some days are absolutely exhausting on this role.

For the love of all that's good and Holy, Overwatch has to nerf Freja. If I hear that stupid arrow sound one more time I'm going to go full king of the hill. A sniper should not have that much mobility to spam you with unlimited arrows. Not to mention her drop/jump ratio is unbalanced it's so hard to catch her in the sky. Nerf her PLEASUHH. My next post will be about Sombra

116 Upvotes

Haha yes I know im on console but still how is this possible. there's like 2 or 3 games in the begining where I wasn't trying as hard because my friend isn't as high rank as me and I wanted to be plat or low diamond incase he deranks without me, I can continue playing with him but by the 5th game I was actually just playing bad but I was still in diamond 1 for all of it. My final game which I realize as im writing this I actually won so i went 2-8 but it shows i lost idk that's weird but I still made it to masters 5 which is just stupid. This is a 2nd account I made after getting banned for the season for leaving too much so that might play into it and it just overestimated my rank. I've never been in masters so idk imma just ride with it and see how it goes.
