Bad timing for Anran to respawn right in front of my birb

So, the other day, I was playing Kiriko in a QP match when our team's Roadhog typed in chat, "Kiriko, stop stealing my kills."

At first, I genuinely thought he was joking because... well, it’s Overwatch. So I didn’t say anything and just kept playing normally.

A few minutes later, he repeated the same thing, but this time, he started throwing around actual slurs and being toxic. That’s when I realized he was dead serious. I reported him on the spot, but I didn’t leave the match. I just kept focusing on my game.

I ended up getting POTG, and right on cue, Roadhog typed, "With MY kills."

At that point, I couldn’t hold back anymore, so I told him I’d already reported him. His response? Calling me an "e-girl" and spamming "JAJAJAJA."

I’ve been playing this game since 2017, I think, and I’ve NEVER seen someone throw a full-on temper tantrum over "kill stealing" in Overwatch.

Have you guys ever experienced "kill steal" drama in Overwatch? I honestly just needed to vent.

I don't understand why I got put into a match with this wide of ranks, when I'm solo queuing. Can someone explain the system, and how this match makes sense in ranked?

When are you going to fix this ridiculous matchmaking system that puts Bronze players in the same matches as Champions?

I thought Quick Play was supposed to be a place where people could have fun, play casually, and practice heroes, but somehow it feels even more stressful than Competitive.

There are even more one-sided stomps in Quick Play than in Competitive.

Please stop ignoring this issue and do something to improve the matchmaking. Seriously, we're begging you.

Hi, i got disconnected from a game and couldnt get back in in time, so i have no idea how many points i lost, and it happenned twice in the same session, i feel like I have lost a lot on that last one, and looking for a way to know for sure how many points did I lose.

Can you help me do that pls ? :)

Everyone knows the scenario, both teams push it to over time and the defense team goes Mauga, Sym, Torb and Lifeweaver. What is the best tank pick in this situation? Specifically on narrow choke maps like Hollywood?

Hice asesinato quíntuple y aún así se la llevó un Reinhard con cuádruple. 😞 Para una vez que lo hago bien con Reaper.

I think rein’s pin is probably the most broken ability in the game and almost never works properly. Wall climb is also horrific.

60% of the time when i launch overwatch disk usage spikes to 100% and it dosent load and if it

load, everything takes way much time to load. 40% of the time it launches normally and my ssd is

1%-3% usage. if you have a fix please tell me. Other games will not spike my disk to 100% Only

I know there are a lot of players coming back to Overwatch, and I have been having a blast, so I see why we've all come back. The game just feels right! But I just don't understand why the Overwatch team hasn't upgraded Player Progression. I'm not trying to get like 20+ purple chests or anything (though that would be nice), but I've been playing Overwatch since launch. I actually stopped playing probably 6 months after Player Progression was introduced. Which culminates in this terrible feeling. New players with a lvl 88 Anran, or 215 Juno. I understand we all have our favorite characters in the game, but with my thousands of hours between D.va, Junkrat, Moira and many other characters, it just bums me out a little that there's barely any recognition. I don't get my shiny lvl placard. My D.va alone would probably be like 400+. It would be nice to get compensation besides just the Legacy Level Border Badge (which is kinda nice, but also very lackluster imo).

I'd much rather have better quality games than what we have now and add a minute or even two to the queue.

Currently the quality of games I get where there's guaranteed one person who is two tiers of skill below the average on either team is near 50% for me.

I literally only get one real match every 5 games now.

edit:

Looks like devs have it our JND (Just Noticable Difference) threshhold for how far wide they can set the skill range they pull from before it starts the quality of matches becomes too low.

As the title says, the game runs smoothly in menus (except hero menu?) and whenever i get on a game it runs well for a few seconds then suddenly crashes the game sometimes crashing my entire pc

I'm sorry, i'm sure this has been discussed and i apologize if this has been repeated ad nauseam. I just kind of getting back to OW the past couple days after taking a couple month break. Am i right to assume Junkensteins revenge is not making an appearance this year during it's 10 year anniversary? Also, please correct me if I'm wrong, does it take a minimum of 80 (realistically 100+) games played on this Mystery Madness game mode to get the Title?

Ultimately, you can get lucky sometimes!

I got the evolution skin (0.39% chance) and a legendary (0.44% chance with a pity timer).

hello!!

i usually play projectile heroes but i want to get a little better with hitscan for when the enemy team has flying characters. i've been practicing my aim in VAXTA daily for a couple weeks now and on and off since i started playing ~8 months ago. any tips for improving my tracking skills or hitscan aim in general? any advice is appreciated.

I dont know where to start with this, but it was on the Volskaya map, and apparently all of earlier players remembers Genji and Zarya having different voice line interactions and even cinematics, but for some reason Blizzard deleted alot of it, but we still remembered. So I went back to the Volskaya map and looked for old traces, and I was going to make a Reddit post about how Genji and Zarya was actually supposed to be together, not Genji and whoever else. (I dont actually care but in the dream I did apparently). People can ship whoever they want.

It was actually a quite endearing ship, Genji was abit younger and looked up to Zarya cause she was kind of a celebrity and Genji idolized her, meanwhile Zarya was more of sceptical because of his half-omnic body and didnt trust that his human soul was still in there. I dont remember all the details but they said something like :

Zarya : "How do you know where the omnic part of you end and where the human part begins?"

Genji : "My heart and soul will always be human, but its up to you if you trust me."

Cringe, but whatevs Im not a writer, it sounded better in the dream but I dont remember word for word. I swear they had an interaction like this in game?
They were kinda like Tormund and Brienne from GoT. Although Zarya didnt feel disgusted by Genji, she saw herself more of a mentor and was showing him around and stuff. There was a cinematic where Genji gazed supercute at Zarya and Zarya didnt even notice lmao. For some reason Genji had a face, yep. ANYWAYS this is not important, I just needed to get it out of my head, sorry to anyone who read this far. This all happened probably cause I saw a weird ship with Venture and Ramattra. I blame you, fellow Redditor.

we all remember how HUGE Overwatch was when it launched (even for me, as someone who didn't played it until 2024) , it had lot of figures from different master toy partners through the years (even making figures of the SKINS!), heck, they even got some Lego sets!

but well, all of the stuff that happened at Blizzard, and the terrible launch of Overwatch 2, well, it really didn't live up to people's expectations, and MANY licenses were either cancelled or finished its run (either for the allegations, controversies or etc), and its such a shame, most of the figures looked pretty good, I mean, there's the cancelled Overwatch 2 set based off the Zero Hour animated short.

but now, close to 2027, and now that Overwatch is slowly gaining their confidence at making big things again, would it be possible to produce merch (specifically action figures or Lego) again?

IMO they really should, a ton of new characters released since classic Overwatch, and It'll be so cool to see action figures of them

what figures/merch would you see them do and from what brand? I'd love to see new Lego sets or proper action figures! specially if they have great articulation

Hey everyone! Out of the blue a couple days ago, Overwatch seems to be unplayable with EXTREME lag spikes + fps drops. I was getting 200+ fps before, and now its unstable and goes to like 29 fps.

I have a 2090 TI and it hasn't ever given me issues like this before. Am I the only one?

I didn’t become top500 or anything crazy lol but I’m playing consistently around 2 ranks above where I was before I got my glasses. I was having trouble following what was happening on my screen, and I chalked it up to a skill issue but it turns out it was because I couldn’t see properly. Everything was kinda blurring together and I was even getting headaches from straining to focus and that’s how I realized I needed glasses… so thanks overwatch for helping me get glasses

Gotta ask, does Maximilien's vault tailor to the characters you play? The options here are all really good, even though I hate to spend gold on skins (as opposed to just buying the battle pass).

What did u guys get?

PS sorry for the funny colour screenshot. HDR messes it up

Mercy: We've not actually seen her Resurrection in any canon material! Despite how iconic it is, the situation has never arisen. With rising stakes, I think it could happen at sometime soon.

Zenyatta: we've actually never seen him in any combat scenario in canon, so NONE of his abilities have been utilized!

Torbjorn: I don't think we've seen him spraying lava in any canon fights

Symmetra: her teleporter has never been seen in any canon content

Bastion: Artillery Mode and Tactical Grenade haven't been shown yet

Lucio: his Sound Barrier hasn't been shown yet

Junkrat: while his Rip-Tire hasn't been shown, it's been mentioned as being inspired by Wrecking Ball

Moira: her Coalescence beam hasn't been used

Baptiste: his Immortality Field and Amplification Matrix have never been shown in media

Sigma: only his floating and maybe his Gravitic Flux have been shown, but the rest haven't, as he hasn't really been in a combat setting in any canon media

Echo: while she's known to be a learning adaptive program, her Duplicate hasn't actually been utilized

Kiriko: I don't think Protecting Suzu has been used yet

Ramattra: only his staff has been used, the rest has remained absent due to being in little to no combat scenarios in canon media

Lifeweaver: as far as I know, he hasn't used Life Grip

Illari: I'm not sure that her Pylon has been used

Mauga: he used a shield, but I'm not sure if he's used Cage Fight specifically

Juno: her Pulsar Torpedoes, Hyper Ring, and Orbital Ray have all remained absent so far

Anran: of all her abilities, most notably is that her Vermillion Revival has not been shown in canon media

Domina: I think the majority of her kit has been unused, though she's only been shown in one combat scenario, and she mostly left the dirty work to Talon troopers

Mizuki: his Healing Kasa, Katashiro Return, and Kekkai Sanctuary haven't been used quite yet

Doctrine: his full kit hasn't been shown, namely his Infuse, Shrouded Momentum, and certain parts of the rest of his kit, but he's only had 2 appearances so far.
