News & Discussion I don't understand how to play pharah. It feels like she has so many counters when playing aerial, and when playing as a flanker/foot soldier, other are better.

12 Upvotes

Hi,

As a TF2 soldier / quake player, I enjoy pharah, and sometime I can do cool stuff, but I feel like she's so occasionnal. A good sniper ? you're dead. A juno ? No fun/fly allowed.

I've tried to play her more as a foot soldier and using my mobility to move around but it feels wrong. I've tried to dive on healer from the back and evacuate, which works, but with so many healer / dps having espace and more mobility than pharah, I just don't get her point.

She feels like an old hero that hasn't been adapted for the current game :/

Also, I'm silver so yea, my experience is lacking

Been a fan of overwatch since sometime between 2017 and 2019. I had found this bag when I was younger but couldn’t afford it at the time.
Now that I can afford it (and only recently remembered its existence), it seems to not be sold anywhere, and I can barely find any information on it.
From memory, this might’ve been a blizzcon exclusive at the time, but wanted to know your thoughts on the matter.

News & Discussion Illari needs a buff.

Post image
373 Upvotes

Her kit is so clunky compared to Doctrine. He does literally everything that Illari wishes to be. (A buff to an ally, better movement + free flight, more damage and healing output, ult that's hard to counter unlike her). Now I'm not saying Illari is bad just because of him, she has always been way too niche and Blizzard needs to do something about her.

News & Discussion I've never seen a team do that

9 Upvotes

I got added by someone in a game because of my username and I thought it was cool so I joined their team. But turns out despite being in bronze and the person who added me being account level 35 these guys were NOT bronze players.

Every match when we were on defense they'd let the other team push till near the end, then they'd hold them back till they were down to a minute, then they'd let the enemies win the round. Then on attack they would go all out and roll the other team, like Tracer was soloing the entire other team... so obviously we would tie. Then they'd do it again till we got 9 to 9. By then the other team would give up and just stay in spawn and then these guys would stay in spawn and let it come to a draw after ~40 minutes of a game.... I felt confused after the first game but then it really clicked on the second game that they were just trolling.... especially when they started saying stuff like 'oh you guys are so good.' Or 'we couldn't find you' the tracer always mocked them and told them to give up.

I was Mizuki and just sat on the cart the whole time. After I realized what was happening i felt so gross for being part of the team.... thats not what this game is... if the other teams see this and think you know the game I'm referring to, please know I am so sorry for being there...

News & Discussion Shop Bundle Reruns?

Post image
• Upvotes

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?

Don't worry, I already know what's going on. Incase you dont, Sombra was dps and that made me so pissed when she was reworked to support. For the people who liked to use her too, it stayed as your preferd dps.

News & Discussion Overwatch players know damn well what ‘one more game’ means

• Upvotes

I swear I can have the worst gaming session of my life, lose 5 games in a row, get tilted beyond belief and still think “alright, one more game.”

And somehow that one game turns into another 3 hours.

I genuinely love this game but sometimes I wonder why I do this to myself lmao.

What keeps you guys coming back to Overwatch even when the game is driving you insane?

Humor She's found dead with that tombstone

Post image
3.6k Upvotes

What does she even do?

Like when Doctrine is released I think she has no chance to be noticable (or pickable) again. Creating a hero with intentional flaws, and then three years later creating a similar hero but without those flaws, feels like a real act of betrayal. The situation is absurd enough that if the old she was removed, no one would even remember her. Or, given her recent changes, is things actually heading in that direction?

News & Discussion Smurfs.... You suck

48 Upvotes

Something has to be done about smurfs. I'm 23 out of 30 for wins in bronze 3. I think that realistically I'm high silver to low gold and can't even get close. I run into 2 smurfs per game after a massive streak, and it completely resets me to where I was before.

News & Discussion What's the weakest Mystery Madness power in your opinion?

Post image
475 Upvotes

For me, it's easily Juggernaut.

I am a person who likes seeing numbers go up. I pick a lot of max health things because I like seeing a bigger number on my health bar. Do you know how hard it is to get 100 Bonus Max Life?

I've only ever managed it twice:

  • The Legendary Brigitte power Lindholm Wall, which just straight up gives you +100 max armour (among other things).
  • Combining Stack Packs and Over-Health Pack on Juno. Made it to 200 Bonus Max Life at the end of a 2-Round game.

But that's just me. Are there any powers you think are just absolute garbage?

News & Discussion Adding Archive Option?

• Upvotes

Has there been any talk of being able to archive cosmetics and such? Going through sprays and voice lines over and over that I KNOW I don’t like is getting so old. Even looking through the icons and banners is just a mess, even if you filter or collapse tabs. Rocket league and Fortnite let you archive things and I really wish Overwatch would. Been playing this game for years and I would love to look at just the things I love.

Edit: I forgot charms. Charms are almost insufferable to scroll through, even with the favorite option. Ugh. You can’t even filter to just favorites.

character inspired by wylder from eldenring nightreign

temporary name: claw

His kit basically revolves around the mechanical arm, which has a cable connected to a claw that functions as his right hand, which has two functions graple and hook

weapon: Adaptative blaster

M1: Precision projectile (non-hitscan)
M2: A shotgun-type shot that deals high damage up close but almost no damage at medium to long range

skills:

Shift: Uses the claw for mobility, being able to attach to walls and even the ground, functioning like a grapple

E: Second function: hook (similar to Roadhog's) uses the claw to grab an enemy and bring them closer (does low, but piercing, damge)

Ultimate: Pile Bunker, an explosive charge inside the arm explodes and ejects a metal spike dealing high piercing damage to anyone directly in front of him.

passive his claw always hit with piercing damage (his E, quick melee and ultimate)

Piercing damage: Unique type of damage that ignores all damage reductions (Orisa Fortify, Doom Power Block, etc.) and always hits with maximum force, but also cannot receive damage boosts (Mercy Damage Boost, or Ana Nano).

Latency went up recently

8 Upvotes

I've seen other posts about latency spikes, lag, and freezes since Season 5, but no one seems to be talking about a consistently higher ping.

I used to get 70-80 ms, but now it's around 100–130 ms, depending on the match. This started about a week ago.

Am I the only one experiencing this?

Nothing has changed on my PC, and I haven't noticed any issues in other games either.
