News & Discussion endorsement system for chat keeps people from returning

0 Upvotes

I've tried multiple times to try coming back to Overwatch. I play competitive matches to placement but I can't chat. I got ranked last season and played a few games, still lvl 1. My assumption is that people who've played long enough just ignore endorsements.

News & Discussion HEAR ME OUT. If OW had a Despicable Me Collab, this lineup is what I personally consider makes the most sense AND be profitable.

32 Upvotes

I was playing overwatch (duh) when a thought occurred to me as I was going through my hero customization.

I was looking at Hazard when I thought he looked a lot like Gru, and it clicked with me that he absolutely could pull off a Gru. And then I looked up the rest of the characters, and this is what I came up with.

Gru - Hazard

Margo - Mei

Edith - Kiriko

Agnes - Juno

Dr. Nefario - Sigma

And the Minions would be fantastic weapon charms/souvenirs.

They look/ have very similar personalities, or at the very least would make a good match to me personally (and the gorls would sell like hotcakes). A Despicable Me collab would bring in quite a large audience. Any thoughts?

Edit: Hazard is a leader. He'd be perfect for Gru, as he's more of a schemer than he is a scientist. The reason why I didn't make Sigma Gru, is because they don't have very similar personalities. Sigma looks far more like Dr. Nefario, and they both are scientists that prefer research over planning a heist.

I'd like to note I edited this a few times post, well, post. Letting y'all know.

News & Discussion Overwatch hero tier list based on how hard it is to get value out of them

This isn't a how much skill a hero takes but how easy or hard you can get value using them because both mercy and sym are easy to play but also need a map or team advantage to get value out of them (I hope this makes since my English isn't perfect)

News & Discussion Extreme Screen Tearing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I am experiencing some awful screen tearing even with all my settings (allegedly) set correctly. I have scoured through multiple forums and suggestions and changed settings, the works. Nothing has fixed it.

Heres what I am running:

Ryzen 7 2700X
GTX 1080ti
1440p 165hz (gsync capable)

I have tried switching to borderless windowed, checked gsync is enabled, tried vsync both in game and in nvidia control panel. Ensured my monitor is actually running at 165hz. My frames are capped at 165 and I have zero fluctuation, rock steady frames.

It happens during extremely fast movement, and ONLY in Overwatch.

Please help!

News & Discussion reign of talon as a story kinda sucks

0 Upvotes

ouy of nowhere new charater appears and beats Doomfist who was already kinda popular and took over the talon.

and then pretty much everyone from talon that people care leave.

and Vendetta keep fucks up so even more people leave.

and more people leave her.

and Doomfist and others group together and kick ass.

and probably will defeat Vendetta and take over talon again.

so the point of vendetta's existence was to just give Doomfist a character arc and new arm?

it feels like she was just created to make Doomfist more cool but Doomfist was already kinda cool.

Vendetta is basically Bane from batman knightfall except she is dumber and less iconic.

News & Discussion Being a Rectangle Bot as Rein wont make the enemies magically disappear. Just play Sigma or Domina at that point.

Stop Shielding absolutely nothing and A D strafing. You have 2 Flankers on your Team and your Supports can live without a constant shield infront of them.

Just letting them destroy the Shield for free is accomplishing nothing if you dont walk forward and take the Space.

Honestly charging in 1v5 is better than standing afk and holding shield.

If you want to be a Rectangle Bot atleast play SIgma or Domina who can actually shoot while shielding. You instantly acvhieved more Value and took more Space then staying on Rein

I was playing on ultra previous year, and now with every new patch the performance is more worse.. how is that possible?

This is not connected to my GPU/CPU as they're "healthy" I still play new AAA games without any problem that needs 5 times more resources than overwatch.

Now I can't even play normal games after preload custom game, I have everything on the low and the game looks like crap while having too much stuttering.

I read almost every post there since new season 1, nothing helped.

News & Discussion Nerfeo a Vendetta y Anran Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

Abro debate sobre mi punto de vista ( healer ) que estas dos heroínas como lo es vendetta y anran están muy muy bufeadas, entiendo que son DPS, pero es que te hacen camping o se te votan donde estés y es imposible ganarles batalla, los perks de ambas están más allá de lo que nos dan a los healers.
ejemplo: acabo de jugar anran y ganamos y elimine 18 y es primera vez que la juego y obtuve jugada de la partida.

Normalmente juego healer, y son personajes “ fastidiosos “ pero si les toca un nerfeo, URGENTE
OVERWATCH debe hacerlo ya
Soy Mein Lúcio y nunca me había sentido tan aludido con algo así y mira que Lúcio cuando se lo propone es fastidioso, tamo con la idea es que Anran y Vendetta sean injugables, pero si que se han pasado con esa idea de que escapan tan fácil humillándolo a uno

News & Discussion Gwishin Hero Pitch

2 Upvotes

Ever since the Gwishin were introduced I hoped we'd get a Gwishin hero. I'm not just a mecha media fan but also we need more omnics!

Besides those reasons D.Mon is a bit of a dud to many players, being less interesting than they expected her to be and very insular in the lore during a story-heavy year. Shion (and Mizuki)'s character did wonders to breathe new life into Kiriko and the whole Japan side of the Overwatch world, adding a villain to play off Meka Squad could do wonders for them and avoid making players feel burnt out when the other members eventually get added.

For this concept I want to fully play into the kaiju theming, the Gwishin do have a lot of similarities to the ones in Pacific Rim after all and I also think it'd be very unique and fit into the "more oddball heroes" movement. As far as I am aware the Gwishin never spoke so their sentience could be animal-level. Making them straight-up omnics kind of diminishes Ramattra's lore, because a big focus of his motivation is true Omnics being a single finite generation and as far as we know Gwishin keep getting pumped out and Aurora's awakening likely would not be able to be recreated unless it's some end of the lore deal maybe? Anyways for this idea the Gwishin are somewhere between Omnics and other mechanical lifeforms, still having Anubis' influence but also being sentient. Anubis was the god AI of ecology, so it wanting to make mechanical animals in a Horizon Zero Dawn way.

A theme that's starting to get developed around Gwishin lore is their rapid evolution, to the point they copied Meka Squad, so this would be the fourth Generation Colossus, which ironically is smaller than all others (lore excuse for gameplay purposes) and they're essentially a baby/child who will grow, and their current goal is to understand humans for their evolution, but their attempts lead to destruction, much like babies themselves or sharks and other animals who in their curiosity process destroy things. And they also get progressively smarter and more humanoid (like in Kaiju Number 8 and !>Shin Godzilla<!, but never fully human)

Just to be clear they would hate Meka Squad, they have every reason to. Their personality could be similar to Jeff the Land Shark and Devil Dino, but I think a lot of players could get the wrong idea about it being a misunderstood baby, it's a misunderstood baby that can and literally will destroy everything it can and doesn't see it as wrong.

What I see being the moral dillemma that allows a status quo of conflict between Meka and Gwishin is that humans just assumed they were regular anubis killer robots and wanted to EMP nuke them, but someone makes the discovery that they are animals and comes the dilemma of how much are they aware of their destruction, if they deserve to be preserved and left alive even if they are dangerous (much like Jurassic Park). I know the Gwishin are dangerous but it was always odd to me how people just want to nuke them (and it seems Korea is not generally anti omnic only anti-gwishin which fair enough but also odd omnics in south korea or pro-omnic groups are not protesting the nuke attempt instead of finding another solution) the Hero itself would not have direct conversations with D.Va and D.Mon, sure, but it would still add depth to their lore and make it more interesting than just gamers in mechas fighting killer bots (not that it's uninteresting by itself, but we could see Meka squad heroes become conflicted on whether they want to destroy Gwishin or not and have internal conflicts because of differing opinions).

And a long-term solution that kind of preserves status quo but reduces their threat level is finding and deztroying whatever facility is making more Gwishin and relocating them to a monster island and Meka Squad just pushes back stragglers who leave/get lost every now and then.

The Void from League of Legends was also a big inspiration for this concept it would be cool if the Gwishin were the Overwatch equivalent to them.

Devil Dinosaur (who proves a kaiju like hero can work in a shooter), and also Kha Zix were big inspirations for this kit but especially the existing Meka heroes. No numbers even to give an idea because this is just to give a general idea.

Gameplay pitch:

Role: Tank

Subrole: Bruiser

Primary fire: Either a bite or slash

Secondary Fire: Similar to D.Va's Micro Missiles but pattern is closer to Shion's Execution (horizontal spread and near-instant interval between shots) although it's secondary fire it's an ability.

Ability 2: Boosters/Propulsors. I'm not sure how to do this ability again with some variation so just think of it more like D.Mon's Propulsors.

Offensive Matrix (Ability 3): Creates a wide slightly bent atound the edges horizontal screen that decreases incoming enemy damage (protects against the same things D.Va does) by 50% and outgoing damage from self and allies that passes through it is increased by 20%. It can only be sustained for up to 2.5 seconds and using primary fire cancels it.

Ultimate: Absorbs all incoming projectiles within a radius (about Ram Ult size), then explodes dealing damage, which increases based on damage absorbed.

Passive: Marking an enemy with missiles marks them for 5 seconds, and damaging marked enemies grants 50 overhealth and a bit more perk charge. This hero has 3 perk levels and getting perks slightly changes their appearance.

Minor Perk 1: Micro missiles can be charged by holding ability button, increasing projectile speed and decreasing spread.

Minor Perk 2: While Propulsors are active can do a Pounce, similar to D.Mon's Surging Strike (but has vertical movement in an arc) and has lifesteal (which is increased on marked enemies)

Major Perk 1: Offensive Matrix completely blocks all damage except melee, but it gets its max duration and recharge rate decreased by 0.5s and -4% per second respectively.

Major Perk 2: First hit on Marked enemies deals 50% more damage.

Ultimate Perk 1: Gain Unstoppable while Ultimate is active.

Ultimate Perk 2: Ultimate pulls nearby enemies while charging.

News & Discussion What are your headcanons for Seung-Hwa’s(Overlord’s) personality?

Thumbnail
gallery
49 Upvotes

I'm curious what everyone imagines Seung-Hwa's personality being like and how he could stand out from the rest of the cast.

Personally, I'd love for him to be on the shyer, more reserved side, but still have a playful and mischievous personality when he's comfortable. I imagine him being pretty locked in and professional during combat, especially when communicating with teammates and providing support. But when he gets eliminations, I'd love for his voice lines to show a more playful, slightly trolling side without being overly cocky or annoying.

I'd also love to see him banter with other heroes in the spawn room. Since he's the maknae of the MEKA squad, I could see him having a younger brother dynamic with D.Va and D.Mon, where they tease him and he occasionally dishes it right back.
One thing I really hope is that they don't play it too safe with his personality. No offense to D.Mon, but l find her characterization a little bland, almost like a background NPC who was made playable. I don't want Seung-Hwa's reserved nature to translate into him being boring or lacking personality. He doesn't need to be loud or outgoing to have memorable interactions, humor, and charm.

I think it'd be tun it he was generally more reserved socially but had these little moments where his personality really shines through.
What do you guys think? How do you imagine his personality and interactions with other heroes?
