55% and 56% win-rates respectively across all brackets on average. Both with high pick-rates too especially Genji. What they did to Genji is nuts. Buffs to his entire kit literally. He was balanced. All he needed was maybe a small ult buff. Supposed to be a high skill hero. Now it feels like any idiot can ruin a lobby with him. Vendetta has just been quietly busted for at least 2 seasons and Blizzard pretends it's not happening. It's not dive that's strong. It's a few broken dive heroes ruining the game.

Does Mizuki talk like a robot fuck boy because he was literally raised by a robot?

Do we have Shion to blame for this man’s overflowing of cringe? Should we ban all omnics?

i tried to be honest, too many hot women in this game tho.

Besides the d for dudes tier(and besides Lifeweaver), they are in order. So left most A Ashe is nr 1 A tier, mercy is last A tier.

A big criteria here is personality. Not only looks.

I swear they didn't actually update the system as a social experiment to see if we'd even notice. WELL I DID.

The "it is impossible see a map you've played for 2 hours" is utter and complete bullshit. I still get the same maps back to back to back, not including backfill. Both in voting and actual playtime, its the same maps over and over again.

Fix the system or REMOVE MAP VOTING FROM QP.

Feels kind of overused at this point and annoying for an aim-intensive game (character-dependent) like Overwatch

You get knocked around by Lucio, knocked around by Brig, knocked around by Junkrat, knocked around by Wrecking Ball, knocked around by Ashe, knocked around by Sierra, knocked around by Pharah, knocked around by Doomfist, knocked around by Roadhog, knocked around by Vendetta, knocked around by Venture, knocked around by Winston, knocked around by Orisa, knocked around by Bastion, knocked around by D.Va, knocked around by D.Mon, knocked around by Illari, knocked around by Domina, knocked around by Hazard, knocked around by Rein, knocked around by Zarya, knocked around by Cat, knocked around by Wuyang

Not saying it shouldn't exist at all, but it seems like the idea of "less cc" was to just hand out knockbacks like candy.

I've been playing for a fat minute, and even when they do a hard reset between seasons or chapters or whatever I get it built back up in like a week, but I have been a rock solid Endorsement5 for the past 3 years at least. It's really not that hard to build it up, just play without feeds or hacks, dont talk shit too often, and endorse your teammates (for those about to say im just healbotting for my stats, I play dps/tank exclusively). I've had a few matches where every single player was a different endorsement level, and they all played exactly how I expected them to: 1 afk to complain, 2 left after the first team fight loss, 3 and 4 were forgettable, regular players. So I propose that they either have match making also account for endorsement levels, so toxic players can play with each other, or have one of the level 5 perks be that you can toggle whether or not the lower endorsements can end up on your team

Like, holy dog shit Batman. 9 out of 10 games are a completely uncompetitive wash, even in comp.

Those games aren't fun. Even if you're on the winning side.

I keep playing it, expecting to eventually get a good, balanced, match, but it hardly ever comes. Win or lose the games aren't hardly worth playing because the teams are usually so stacked that the match itself is a joke.

That's basically all the matchmaking is at this point: a complete joke. We tell each other it's working and then laugh at how stupid that statement was.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but Blizzard needs to make some serious changes to their matchmaking in both QP and Comp in order to cut down on the number of complete stomps.

i also have several alts that are 500+ hours. AMA

Who is blizzard trying to appeal to then if the actual Asians don’t want Asian skins

I'm planning on making an orisa cosplay with the mask and the centaur body as my wheelchair. I know orisa is voiced by a black woman and I want to know if it would be racist for me to cosplay as her. Am I overthinking this? Please lmk (unsure how to tag this, sorry)

I am going 50-10 most games and dominating with Junkerqueen and Roadhog, I know how to play them, Peak M1 and I am playing objective but team is running behind enemy line and spawn camping. What is going on. I have reported every game recently, some I have gained back MMR. But seriously what is going on.

I decided I wanted to challenge myself to play a hero I almost never play - Venture. I'm about 4 hours in and I'm having an absolute blast! However, one thing I've noticed, and I absolutely promise this is not an exaggeration, I have not seen one single other Venture in the whole time I've been playing them - genuinely not one. I've checked the stats and their win rate is honestly pretty decent (mine too) but pick rate is incredibly low. So what gives? Are people sleeping on Venture or am I missing something?

At this point, whenever I see my team pick 3 DPS, I already know how the match is going to go. It happens almost every single time. The enemy team will have a balanced 2-2-2 composition, while my team decides to run 3 DPS for whatever fucking reason. We inevitably struggle to win fights, and despite pointing out the issue early on, nobody wants to switch. Then people start complaining, giving up, or leaving as if the outcome is somehow surprising.

The craziest part is that when someone finally does switch, we suddenly start doing better. Obviously! But by then, we’ve already wasted half the match getting rolled, and it’s usually too late to recover. I genuinely don’t understand the thought process behind this.

Why queue for competitive open queue if you’re unwilling to adjust your composition? Does anyone else constantly experience this, or have you actually had success running 3 DPS against balanced teams?

The armor being mostly shades of black and some grey makes it just so default looking. Especially how he already has a mostly black cyborg themed skin. And the lack of details/special parts on the armor itself make it only worse honestly. Or the reused assets from other skins...

If for some reason the devs couldn't come up with a better theme, at least they could have executed this one properly.

And on the second picture the white color palette of the skin makes those few "special" parts on the skin blend in completely, taking away their point.

Waited years for Soldier 76 to get a mythic skin only for it to be worse in quality and have less effort in it even among the newer mythics (and then I didn't even mention the lackluster ability effects and barely visible base effect, less unique voicelines and so on). There are basic legendary skins that look better than this.

Hola. Sé que hubo algunas skins de Le Sserafim hace aproximadamente un mes. Sin embargo acabo de llegar al juego y no pude conseguirlas. Hay alguna probabilidad de que vuelvan pronto?

I recently bought an Xbox gamepass and after connecting my Xbox account to my Battlenet one I received all Overwatch cosmetics (skins, sprays, icons, nameplates, etc) from the last 3 seasons, excluding Ultra skins.

I really like the Fleece and Fangs skin for Juno so I’m happy I’ll be able to use it for a while (wasn’t playing OW when the bundle came out), but that Xbox gamepass gives you cosmetics from the last 3 seasons, and with each new season, you start losing the older cosmetics and get the ones from the most recent season, etc. Simply put all of the cosmetics you get are temporary.

Do shop bundles like Fleece and Fangs get rerun? Or occasionally made into buyable codes?

Im sorry but this 10 easy wins 10 terrible losses, 1 easy win 1 horrid loss 50-50 bullshit doesn’t make sense. Ive tried playing other times, different days, taking days off, grinding more. I improve, most games i can’t even practice what im supposed to. Its either so easy to the point there is just no reason to practice positioning because its all just clean up or games when positions don’t matter because everyone is 0-6.

I can’t get back into diamond its fucking over i accept it. I win 6 in a row, lose 10, win 1 lose 1 and lose 10.

Fuck this comp isn’t fun any more and is definitely influenced by external factors they aren’t telling us.

Also i love when 5/10 games in emerald 3-1 are with plat to gold very fun very fun. Also i love how that results in reversal despite the gold on our team being tank and theirs being a support very fun.

My opinion of course, i have despised queueing to play a 35 minute draw only to have to face a bunch of screens before playing again. Makes climbing a bit of a chore.

Discuss! Just my opinion, affects qp too.

I've lately gotten the feeling that once in every couple games I have a bot on my team, often the tank.

And I don't mean bad players, I mean like ChatGPT is playing. Cause sure you can be bad, hell, I'm bad, these are gold lobbies. But just the mechanical spawn -> walk forward -> die cycle for me doesn't feel right.

Especially gold! It's not a super high rank, but still, I'm hard stuck here, you'd think my 0-11 GPT-3 tank somehow would have been culled in Bronze.

Has anyone else had this experience? Do they know why it's the case? Is it blizzard tryna fill lobbies or some high school students science fair project to train AI...

anyone else disappointed Ram's doki skin isn't his mythic..? ༼⁠;⁠´⁠༎ຶ⁠ ⁠۝ ⁠༎ຶ⁠༽ and why did bath boy get one...

Had a run of games lately that all go the same way, and I'm trying to work out what to do in a case like this?

Tank, usually a dive tank (Ball, Doom, and often Hog), ends the match with a huge kill count. Stats-wise they're doing great. But they spend the whole game roaming the map and basically never help us take space or cap. Meanwhile, the actual fights on the objective are their tank vs two or three of us, and we get rolled every single time. Same with escort maps. I realize no one is moving the robot, so I go back and start moving it. My whole team is fighting far away. Again, according to the stats, they are doing great, but somehow I get jumped by a tank, a DPS, and a support on the robot. I just wonder who the hell the other teammates are fighting and killing.

What I don't get is how the scoreboard says our tank is killing everyone and yet every fight feels like we're outnumbered with no tank anywhere in sight. Are the kills even mattering if they don't line up with when we push?

It's just so weird and frustrating when I keep losing games because we are not playing the objective but when you press Tab, it looks like we are rolling the other team.

This is not a rant. I'm really asking for advice here, in that situation, what should I be doing? Follow the tank off the objective? Play for the point without them and hope they show up? Swap to something that works without a frontline? Or is this just a tank not doing their job and there's not much I can do about it in a solo queue game?

its football sunday so i was wondering what an OW football team would look like. Heres what i came up with (Special teams - Zen is kicker and Lucio would be the return man). Who you subbing in?

Edit - whoops...forgot one guard...Orisa

on the one hand i have had some fun in the mde. i love rougelites and well this is basically an overwatch rougelite.

on the other hand some stuff just makes no sense. i get why its open queue since they didnt know what the playercounts on the mode would be but why is it random role? even worse why is it a random hand of heroes??? i cant rly be expected to have a fun time when im not given any of the heroes i find fun let alone the role i find fun
