Hi everyone! Today, Blizzard announced the renaming of Overwatch 2 back to Overwatch alongside a plethora of other really great changes to the game. As a moderation team and as fans, we are excited to see Overwatch return to its roots.
Some have asked us regarding how we will be reacting to the change as a subreddit, some have suggested rebranding, others have suggested deleting the subreddit entirely, while others want us to continue. To be clear, rebranding was not an option because Reddit does not let you change a subreddit name.
After pondering over every available option, we have decided to continue running and moderating this subreddit not as a subreddit specifically about the sequel to Overwatch, but as an alternative, more open subreddit focused on Overwatch and the community around it as opposed to the larger franchise subreddit. We hope you'll continue to be a part of our wonderful community.
We will continue moderation on this subreddit as expected for the forseeable future. We hope you'll continue to share around and crosspost us! We are also accepting applications for more moderators to assist us with this. As for our Discord server, we will measure changes in server activity and make further announcements regarding any major changes in the coming months.
Not sure if this was because Orisa broke line of sight of the chain or if fortify lets her walk out, does anyone know how this works? either way seems broken, we lost the game because the Orisa survived here btw
I think the game is generally way better and balanced than 4 years ago, and I don't understand why I see too many complaints about the balance in this community, especially that I came from marvel rivals. Current overwatch balance is heaven compared to whatever abomination the rivals devs have created. But there is one thing that really gets on my nerve, which is the HP inflation. Why the hell did everyone get more HP?! It doesn't make sense for so many characters, especially for widowmaker, the 175 was perfectly fine. Why the stupid cat has 225 hp? Why on earth is kiriko 250 hp? Why bastion is 350 with armor? Totally unnecessary and and everyone should be reverted back to original values with some exceptions.
This might be Copium but I’ve still got hope that we’ll get at least one new mission sometime! It was a ton of fun imo and it’s been what the community has been wanting for years! PLUS THEY PROMISED US CO-OP WHERE TF IS MY CO-OP! IM HUNGRY FOR CO-OP!
my oh my am I INLOVE! with this new combo. It compliments each other SO well!!! Truly this new skinline I do really like. ana but also the other members of the skinline look amazing!!
Definitely one of my fave combo's !
Ignore my bad positioning but i cannot tell you why i wouldnt be hit by this shatter, it clearly extends past me???? Its either sombra being invis during shatter overrides the stun or shes just on some insane ozempic to make her paper thin….
I’ve started to realize I’m having so much more fun playing characters that don’t require as much aim. Not like I don’t enjoy characters that have aim I still like McCassidy,Ashe,and zenyatta but this game has become much more relaxing for me the less I try to aim.
Personally, the 2 likely options would be widow or hog i feel.
Hook is such a core part of hog's kit that he cant really have it removed but its terrible without the one shot. Combine that with his healing, and there is no good answer to balancing hog as a result.
On the topic of one shot kills, Widow isnt an issue herself, but she sets a precedent that one shots are required for some characters, which bleeds into arguments about one shots on other characters like hanzo and hog, and generally on where and how they can draw a line for balancing. Widow not existing would change the dynamic of a lot of balancing decisions.
I mean it already has all sorts of cool abilities they could build off of based on the different forms it has. And going off the lore it was apparently decent threat during the omnic crises, so why wouldn't Null Sector use them? And it would be really fun to play as one honestly.
Been playing on and off since forever but since overwatch 2 and going to xbox from pc i have found myself being pretty crap at the game or having bad decision making in key moments.
Stuck in plat and can never find a character i do well with, always just dying to ults or getting flanked.
My teammates are either insanely good or insanely bad and it’s like every other match it’s completely different
I solo queue so maybe that’s my issue but when i have a good win with a team no one ever stays as a team after and i find it difficult to make any friends to play with and enjoy the game with
any advice? i know some youtube’s i watch coach players but i dont know if i would find that embarrassing with how low rank i am
Why do I gotta drop 400 just to have a full voice line menu for a new character🤔 Blizzard I know you don’t get revenue from white/legacy credits… drop the prices down to 50 AT LEAST 💔💔💔
I understand why you need to experiment with different abilities, but why take away the previous modes? I do agree Junkenstein could have used some refreshers but the Halloween drama of it all is fun and I dislike just playing regular overwatch with Halloween skins :'/
I played a lot of OW since the original came out and put practically 85 percent of my time into widowmaker. As of recently marvel rivals has become a game I play only when my friends or family wanna play and deadlock is my new obsession but I wanna get back into ow after not playing since ow2 first came out. Whats the landscape looking like as someone who played primarily flex in ow1 and in marvel rivals. I lowkey miss playing. Any info would be great😁
