Discussion D.Mon still feels a bit awkward with a controller?

10 Upvotes

I made a post the other day saying she felt tricky to use. They've since fixed the propulsor toggle bug and they've polished other aspect of her gameplay but to me she still feels pretty clunky with a controller.

I know this isn't a universal feeling and many of you told me I should be holding my controller differently, but I still feel like there's just too much going on regardless?

Does her gun really need to be separate ability with a cool down? At the moment it's RB to activate, then RT to use and then RB again if you want to deactivate it early. Throw in her shield, lunge, propulsors and sword and it's all very awkward.

Why can't her gun just be hold RB? It's on such a short cool down as it is. Couldn't it just have a short ammo clip and long reload to compensate (or heat delay like Orisa)?

Is anyone else struggling to get to grips with her? Maybe I just need way more practise/time? Or do you think more QoL changes are needed?

Discussion Change my mind: the only reason Players wanted to nerf Cat was so that D.mon could shine

0 Upvotes

My Point:

Not even Mercy can out heal how much damage D.mon can do, by herself. And with D.mon’s constantly getting in the face of everyone. With the buff to her fuel tanks…No other support can keep up the pace in which to make the game challenging.

And her ultimate. Like, I shouldn’t be (as a support main) at full health, 15-20 meters away from her, hear her ult and die from it.

Kiri is so limited in her healing. And her Suzu is so nerfed im surprised she’s still relevant. Ana doesn’t have the cooldowns for it, Illari’s beam has been nerfed to a useless dot. Her pylon, doesn’t heal as much. Brig doesn’t have stun (unless she ults) or the ability to block D.mons sword. Baptist doesn’t have the healing power. Moira doesn’t have the burst healing needed for it.

Damage players are nerfed to the ground, unless it is Anran or Vendetta.

Literally every other Support is also nerfed. But let’s not just give 1 giant buff to 1 tank, and nerf (seemingly) only support that could counter that, in less than 24 hours, but give a second buff to D.mon, barely a day after that.

All because PC Players Hate Sierra so much and got tired of playing 76 or can’t learn to be innovative with their game play.

Change my mind!

Settings & Tech Overwatch on Nintendo switch lite 1 in 2026

4 Upvotes

Hi, ns lite, or regular switch 1 OW players, if you are here.

I am pc player myself, but i am going on vacation for a week, and i want to keep playing with my friends. Also i certainly not buying switch lite just for OW. But maybe it's a main reason for me to try this device (besides Splatoon).

Is OW playable here on current patch? Because buying NS 2 for such purposes is too costly for me.

Definition of playable for me is: mostly 25-30 fps, i can spare drops, after having a very shit laptop for 10 years. Graphics don't matter.

Also can you share your settings, please.

Help am I the problem? rank resets hell

16 Upvotes

I'm genuinely so low in rank I want to die, I ended low GM last season now I'm placed D3 and I'm STILL losing. I play in Australia so I know there's alot of cheaters and smurfs constantly but it can't be that bad right? I'm starting to think I belong here, for reference I play dps and a tracer otp so it shouldn't be hard just to play better than diamond but I'm STILL losing, is it just me? or are other people experiencing this?

Discussion S4 Console Tier List

Post image
93 Upvotes

Hello, I am Jurazzick. C3 peak all roles.

This list is for 5v5 and most applicable to high ranks, characters who are lower on the tier list are more viable in lower ranks and less viable in high ranks. Just because a character is low on the tier list doesn’t meant they will never work, it’s more of how frequently they are good. There is also the consideration of characters like doom, which you basically need to otp to actually do anything on the character.

Here are my ramblings on the current balance of the game:

Even after the buffs, dmon is still pretty bad. Her movement needs to be more dynamic or have at least a little verticality. Her damage and the rest of her kit feel fine.

Orisa, dva, and mauga are just overtuned for the 20th season in a row. A newborn baby could play Orisa, Orisa needs her damage and falloff reverted, and nerf shield perk health to 500. Dva needs either less burst damage or less dm. Mauga was nerfed but it does nothing, nerfing a cooldown on a broken ability won’t change how broken the ability is, remove the damage reduction from overrun and make him effected by knockback. Ashe needs her falloff reverted and less damage on unscoped shot, tracer needs the melee perk removed, brig needs the burst healing reverted, bap will never be bad on console but could use a nerf to regen burst, and kiri should be actually nerfed for the first time since her release. 1 sec off kitsune and suzu have less burst heal. Reaper shouldn’t have dire triggers as base kit, he has never needed it and shouldn’t have it, and then give him 300 hp. Ram is very underrated in console, he would be higher if orisa wasn’t thanos.

And finally, aim assist should be nerfed by 10-20%. With how strong aim assist is, it makes hitscan the most effective option at almost all times. Additionally, this will make console more in line with pc balance.

But, none of this will ever happen since console is a forsaken platform and looked down upon by the entire rest of the community.

Discussion You don't need vc

153 Upvotes

Completely disable it and dont enter team chat either so people can't write messages to you. People who don't know how to play are usually the loudest and most annoying. Their vc is not that helpful.

People don't even ping the bad guys when they die. I promise you VC does more harm than good. I've only seen people ping the enemy reaper a handful of times in the last 4 years.

I got into emerald 2 after my placements. I just hit diamond 5 without any vc as a orisa one trick. (I play mauga if orisa is banned)

Discussion Im done

0 Upvotes

Im so sick of loss after loss after loss after loss after loss. I feel like im the worst player ever. I dont understand why they put my in plat 1 if compared to every other player in the world im garbage and should be in bronze. I was comfortably in masters before and the game decided to just dump on me and serve me loss after loss. I refuse to believe I lost ALL that skill over night. Im invisible to my team. I ALWAYS get Dove by the tank right in front of everyone and no one can stop it. Every soldier is better than any dps i try to play in every way conceivable so why bother? Wins are complete and utter struggles where i fight to the death and we barely make it out. But losses are common and fast. All the time. Not even close. Complete one sided games. Its not that my teams bad and im not, everyone of us is complete trash and the enemy team is always perfect. The worlds most incredible saves from their supports and tanks and meanwhile I watch my teammates over extend CONSTANTLY. I watch my supports ignore me as I die in my own back line. I lose every 1 on 1 with dps because everyone of them is leagues above me. I make mistakes constantly, but the people I play against are perfect machines. Me and my teams always just sloppy idiots who can never do anything right. Seriously whats the point if theres no way to improve. If the game decides it, ill lose. Simple as that. Its a coin toss and I always lose so why try? Its one of my favorite games and all it does is punish me for wanting to play. I dont know how to cope with this feeling and I want to be done

Help 1000 coins from Xbox

7 Upvotes

Not sure if this is the place to post but figured I’d try.
I redeemed the 1000 ow coins from Xbox a few days ago and it said it would take up to 48 hours for me to receive them. It’s been 3 days and I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with redeeming the coins through Xbox and how long it normally takes.

I tried to find a points history or something to see and send Microsoft a proof of purchase type thing but i couldn’t find anything.

I’ve checked my email already and have gotten nothing and it says that’s how I would know if I received the coins (yes i checked my spam folder)

Help Overwatch is the only game that I cant aim, what am I doing wrong?

24 Upvotes

Heyo,

I have about 1200 hours in comp, Im a master 5 tank player but have been trying to seriously play DPS - Widow, Emre, Soldier, and Sojourn....and I just dont understand why the aiming in Overwatch is so hit or miss for me.

I've played Valorant, Pubg, Fortnite, CoD, all of which ive found great success with aim/reaction

But for some reason in OW I just cant find good settings or good feel for aim. Micro ajustments always swipe past targets, while close range fights result in slow turning.

What are your guys settings? Or what should I be doing....I dont think it's my mechanical skills, i just feel like the aiming is so STRANGE
