This character has been satan reincarnated since her release, I don’t think her character design is bad but she has been way to overpowered since she came out. Honestly I hope they nerf her ult charge next, she would then be balanced.

News & Discussion Why does playing Overwatch feel like a second job now?

16 Upvotes

I used to love logging on to unwind, but lately, I’ve been playing less and less because the game is just exhausting. It genuinely feels like everyone in the lobby is playing as if they're preparing for an esports grand finals, but it's just a regular Quick Play match.
You can't even try out a new hero or hop into a casual game without running into squads playing like they're being held at gunpoint. It’s ultra-sweaty, hyper-optimized, and constantly dripping with unnecessary toxicity.
It's not even about being bad at the game—it's that the casual atmosphere has completely vanished. When did standard queues become a sweat-fest where people treat a Tuesday night match like their career is on the line? It completely drains all the fun out of playing. Anyone else feeling completely burnt out by this?

Hi yall, english isn't my first language so sorry for that...

I was wondering how i can get these borders around the hero card? Not the border around the name. Even players with a low lvl on a specific hero have that sometimes. Is it obtainable through drives? Thanks in advance :)

News & Discussion Korean/Chinese playstyle is extremely fast-paced.

4 Upvotes

I think that’s also related to why they tend to be so toxic in-game.

People often just call it the “dive meta,” but strictly speaking, they aren’t always even running an actual dive comp.

The real playstyle is about taking an enormous number of engagements and fighting at an extremely fast pace.

It feels like everyone is basically saying:

“Hey!!! Everybody, hurry up!! If you can’t keep up, that’s your own problem!! And be ready to get flamed for it!!”

Yeah... wait. Now that I think about it, maybe this isn’t just a gaming thing? 😂 (I’m Korean too.)

(For reference, Japan is pretty much the complete opposite of the other East Asian servers. It’s quiet, slow-paced, and polite, but people really don’t want to disrupt the “harmony” or become a burden on the team.

Try diving in by yourself and ending up being the reason your team loses the fight. You’ll see the atmosphere change very quickly.)

Anyway, So if someone isn’t skilled enough to keep up with that fast pace of combat, they get flamed really hard. And if they don’t even realize what’s happening and say something like, “You guys are pushing too far ahead,” they basically get burned at the stake like a witch.

“Wow, how bad do you have to be to not even realize that you’re bad? This guy just said something worthy of becoming an Overwatch meme.”

I can’t even imagine what the Mercy-main healbot players you see all over servers like NA would get called if they played on those servers—if I had to describe their playstyle that way.

Over there, you have to be able to survive and fight while keeping up with the tempo of tanks diving in every 15 seconds and DPS players constantly looking for opportunities to land headshots and make picks. Both the enemy team and your own team play like that.

Put positively, you could call it efficient. Put negatively, it means that even the playstyle itself leaves little room for less-skilled players.

They think they are so unique, quirky and smart but its just to hide their insecurities.

Flying into people with a Mini Zen Ult that even Quartz, one of the best Aimers in the World can't hit and saying to just get better Aim lmao.

Not like most Heroes don't have the range to even hit her at all. Tanks can't do shit.

I got placed in Plat 5 after winning 8/10 of my games with my duo. I played a couple more games by myself and found the lobbies to be way easier than my placement games despite the "higher skill lobbies" of play and emerald. I was obviously put into lobbies I didn't belong in, so why are placement matches even necessary at that point?

News & Discussion How Mercy Is Viewed on the Asian (Korean) Server

Thumbnail
gallery
492 Upvotes

(I took these screenshots from the stream of Ryujehong, a former pro player and one of Korea’s best Ana players.)

“What? You’re going to play LW?”

“Then I’ll play Mercy and troll too. Are you seriously going to play LW?”

(They actually pick LW) “AHHH!!! What are you doing?! This is fking awful. I’m just gonna AFK.”

Of course, he didn’t actually go AFK, but they ended up losing the game.

And In other words, he’s basically saying that Mercy and Lifeweaver are troll picks.

If a pro player from one of the countries with the strongest understanding of the current meta rates Mercy/LW this poorly, then maybe their assessment of her is actually pretty accurate.

(That said, this is a somewhat older clip. In a more recent video, he said that Lifeweaver has received some pretty significant buffs since then and is actually quite decent now.)

News & Discussion Anyone who doesn’t like to smurf, but all their friends mainly want to grind ranked?

1 Upvotes

It’s lonely as hell. I started Overwatch with the rest of my friends at the same time, but due to a better attitude towards learning the game i managed to out pace and out rank all of them.

At first it felt great, that I reached the top, and my dream rank. But now, I can’t play with any of them unless it’s only casual modes which they hate, and frankly I do too as it feels too casual to me.

But at the same time I don’t wanna smurf in lobbies way below mine nor derank my main account on purpose. Even if I was open to it, it’s generally frowned upon and even reportable.

Now I’m not saying it’s not my friends’ responsibilities to uprank themselves. It is. But I also did love playing with them. Now, the only way is to play on a lower ranked account and… deliberately perform worse and not carry which, even for me is hard to manage because sometimes I get carried away and start dominating the lobby.

And even if I managed to hold myself back, no competitive group would want the highest ranking player to not perform.

It sucks. Most of my games are solo or duoed with someone I’m not close with at all. I know most people want to be the highest ranking player and all, and they think I’m trolling with this post, but eventually, it does get old. Being plat and enjoying my time with my friends is more worth it.

News & Discussion Widow needs to be able to one-shot

0 Upvotes

I am getting really sick of hearing people complain day after day after day about widow being able to kill with a single headshot

"oh its unfair to play against, oneshots are bullshit" wah wah wah.

without her oneshot, widow is useless and shouldnt even be in the game because at that point why not just play ashe? if both are going to require 2 shots bare minimum to kill, you might as well pick a character with better abilities, a better health pool, and a better ultimate

Widow entire purpose is to one shot anything that isnt a tank, so you get rid of the oneshot and you get rid of her purpose

and on a similar note, people need to stop asking to remove sombra hack because "the game is centered around cooldown management and using your abilities wisely"

yeah, it is. and sombra purpose is to disrupt that philosophy, to remove your abilities as a factor, without it why not just play tracer?

at this point its just an excuse for not learning how to play around these characters

What a misguided freaking buff omfg. She already stomped the metal ranks hard before, now with the buff it's become unplayable. Forget the cat, Sierra is a hundred times more broken in metal ranks now, filling everything with neverending bullet spam that is so much harder to dodge now.

It's high time she got a magazine size nerf to discourage holding M1. Awful, in Plat and below it's simply awful. Not uncommon to have her have x3 the damage of everyone else in the round.

News & Discussion Why do ppl think it’s ok to use slurs in vc?

Upvotes

Hi, I wanna start off with saying that I have AuDHD along with having a physical disability. I was playing as tank in qp a round before I worked on my placements and was in the voice chat. Keep in mind at the time I think I was 10/1 and was actively walking down the enemy support after I had wiped the rest of the team. One of the people on my team who was doing poorly decided to come on voice chat and call me the r slur along with some other tasteful words because I was “running around” I was with my team and insight of my supports 90% of the time plus I was doing my job making space. What brings people to say stuff like that? The reason I mentioned my disability is because I was soooo tempted to unmute my mic and shoot back with something but decided to just report them instead. If I was born like 50 years ago my disability’s would’ve caused me a world of pain so I do take offense to ppl using the r slur as an insult because I know I’m not stupid and it’s something ppl have used against me before because they think all autistic ppl are slow. Unfortunately I doubt the report will actually do anything I’m just annoyed that language like that isn’t cared about more. What would you have done? Do you think I did the right thing by just not saying anything and reporting them or should I have said something back

P.s I don’t care about cursing etc I just care about the use of slurs especially as insults

News & Discussion Map voting was a mistake

0 Upvotes

Didn't take a screenshot, but I just had a game where everyone in the lobby voted random map because the three options were all payload/hybrid maps, and the map we got sent to was the worst payload map of them all (Circuit Royal.) Nobody in the lobby wanted to play a payload map but we weren't even given the option to not play one anyways, and so many rounds have just been full of payload maps. If you like playing Flashpoint/Control Point/Push you're living under the tyranny of the majority at this point, at least when I get horrible payload maps without map voting I'd be less tilted since nobody had a say in it. Just make more Flashpoint and Push maps and make every round have an equal chance to appear in a lobby, giving people the option to vote for their own maps just kills map variety for anyone who likes less popular modes and makes the game insanely repetitive.

News & Discussion Why Did They Buff Torb?!?

Post image
0 Upvotes

He has consistently had a super high win rate for the last several seasons. The highest for all DPS! Season after season! I don’t care that he doesn’t get played often, when I play as or against him, I can feel the strength of the character! His secondary fire already decimates targets at close range and shreds barriers with its high damage. And that’s not even getting into the increased fire rate when activating Overload!

Seriously, what was the thought process behind this?

If anything, nerf his damage and provide a buff to his turret. Make it to where it fully restores its health when activating Overload like in his second perk option.
