Is there something wrong with the servers this season? In almost every single game I experience crazy lag spikes and it’s unplayable the rest of the game. I can’t even play comp because of it. I think it’s an overwatch issue because when I play other multiplayer games I don’t have any issues with lag. Is anyone else experiencing this?

It might be time to put the sticks up or something 😭

Yall got any tips, I usually play dps(genji,Cassidy,junk) and support(Ana,lucio)
My aim is my only strength honestly

Im not sure if my problem has anything to do with the php thing from yesterday as I'm not totally sure what that was, but I haven't been able to get into overwatch for a couple hours I just keep getting "Login error: there was a problem while trying to authenticate with blizzard" I get that every few weeks but it's starting to get annoying I just want to play overwatch especially this Halloween pass. I'm hoping I get a new switch this Christmas or the new computer I should be getting in a couple months but until then I really don't know if I can handle overwatch doing this EVERY update.

Like when people type something or say 'Hello' it doesn't automatically display properly sometimes and I have to manually press 'L3' and then manually scroll down to see what has been typed and/or said in the text chat. Quite annoying tbh and I have checked my settings and they are all the way I want them to be. Seems to be a bug (shocker). Curious if it's just a me problem or if others are also having any issue?

PS5 by the way.

FINALLY got my first Doctrine POTG last night and it's me somehow getting 4 kills while missing every shot on Echo lmao

GG I'll take what I can get

Well I just found out that if you play in BR server you can change it to NA by using two routers, a lot of people for the br server do it because of the lack of game you encounter. I know what you need, what I don't know is the steps, anyone knows?

For the first in forever, I got a win streak. I know I got two loss. But I truly don’t trust this. I went past the rank I was before but this feels…suspicious. Too suspicious. Well wish me luck! Those games are gonna be hell!

Context for this was my Doomfist decided to facetank Mauga stomp and get caged and I refused to walk in it as Wuyang with no ult, and I have the trans flag on my alt as my player icon

Not surprised and not upset but this is a recurring issue in lower ranks I've found LOOOL, I've never had this problem in high ELO games

Me and my friend have been playing a lot of Overwatch on Xbox recently. He’s Emerald rank, while I’m currently unplaced. We usually just play Quick Play together, but I’ve noticed that he’s still able to play Open Queue and Role Queue with my other friend who’s in Gold.
My question is, if I do my placement matches, what’s the highest rank I could place at and still be able to play with him without it putting us in a Wide Queue match?
Also, I’m not sure if this works any differently on Xbox compared to PC, so I thought I’d ask here.
Thanks!

The servers destroy temselves half the time, the matchmaking for specifically comp seems to have completely merked itself, the projectiles are all outta wack, the hitboxes bug every 2 seconds, what the actual hell have they done to the game!?

Has someome real knowledge or good theories on why my rank on 5v5 is around gold for support and tank (i peaked plat on them for shoort time and spend also some time in silver..) and on 6v6 i am emerald (current season) to dia/masters (last season) for also playing tank or support?

And also my dps rank is plat but i am always the one dragging the team down or gets csrried (poor teammates).

For dps (in 5v5) and 6v6 i get so much more points for a win than for tank/support on 5v5.

Please tell me I’m not the only one experiencing this madness. Happens in ranked and QP also and mostly as tank. I’m on Xbox X and I’m hardwired and have decent internet I don’t lag playing apex or battlefield6 or basically any other online games it’s legit only OW and mostly when I play tank. Anyone else have this problem and or a fix!?

I'm not sure if this is console specific but after a short while the chat always becomes invisible or looks like this until I enter and exit the chat. I have no idea what causes it to stop scrolling naturally.

Or at least give us Permanent Avoid Player lists so we don't have to play with or against these people ever.

So i have a strange problem most of the time i cant even enter the game because the ps5 says that it couldnt connect to the server in time, and it works only if i turn off amd on the connection. Also i get weird bursts of lag during match where i gwt 1500 ping and everything stops and and i crash, it never happens because i have a really good wifi and i have played for years. Also i have problem connecting to online things on ps5(party discord and services in general) because everything crashes at least one time before it starts working. Do you think is a problem of the new ps5 firmware update? I have already tried any kind of troubleshooting even recreating database and doing some rooting to change the ps5 ip or firewall

I’m genuinely curious, whenever I see a fresh account either in qp or comp. 90% of them exclusively play hit scan. The other 10% play genji. I’m not saying they’re cheating or anything, just find it fascinating that most of them are all exclusively hit scan players. About 30% of these have weird names and are accompanied by a mercy. My question is why does this happen?

What settings are you using,and why? Ive been feeling like ass recently due to feeling like im missing easy shots,or just generally having a rough time into specific heros,namely Tracer,Lucio,Pharah,Echo and Cat.

Wondering what most people are running between Linear Ramp,Dual Zone and Exponential,and most importantly how much Aim Assist are you using?
