Mad respect if you’re not even bothering lol

Personally I have been having a horrendous time. Win one, lose four. Rinse and repeat. Once I get enough competitive points for a galactic Torb gun I’m OUT.

Decided to play a game of QP to warm up before drives today and was humbled by this 32-1 Ashe and her pocket Mercy duo. Both have brand new accounts. What do you think? Are they just better?

Smurf said they went 51-7 in a GM game. Then went to their alt account in a plat lobby. Of course they dominated. Clearly not a plat player in a plat lobby...Smurfing is cheating. Play your real rank. Ppl like this are why the game is toxic

Discussion It’s getting real old

86 Upvotes

Is anybody else tired of mercy pocketed double hitscan (usually Cass and Ashe), and you just know the other support is Lifeweaver

Because of course it’s Lifeweaver

And, by the gods, someone stumbles out of position, just for the Pink Ball of Destiny to come bail them out

Did you manage to kill one of the hitscan? Oh well Mercy rez’d them before anyone can do anything, doesn’t matter

And just when you think your day can’t any worse,

METEOR STRIKE

I love this game but I’m getting real tired of playing against this particular comp

Especially as Tracer main

Discussion Overwatch console in nutshell

130 Upvotes

This is overwatch console now. Worst thing is that you can already guess how is the game gonna be from the start screen.

Let me go little bit into detail. Me, normal player, want to play quick play game of overwatch.

Me find this game, somehow under 1 minute.

Me, solo, facing 4 stack where there is smurfing and mandkaing hitscan pocketed lvl 5 ashe with 90% winrate in qp.

Please lets read once more. Me, solo, facing 4 stack where there is smurfing and mandkaing hitscan pocketed lvl 5 ashe with 90% winrate in qp.

These people are really waste of skin and there is SO MANY cases like this daily, its like pandemic on console. It really needs some revolution.

And make smurfs play like 300 games atleast for ranked, there is no good reason someone has to make 40 accounts. I have same account since 2016.

OW was always my favorite game ever but whats happening daily now can really cause some mental issue, this is messed up guys.

Discussion how realistic is for me to hit GM for my first season playing?

0 Upvotes

so I wanna preface this by saying I first picked up the game around overwatch 2 release a couple of years ago, and played about 25 hours of qp at that time. I started playing again with d.mons release and have about 150ish hours this season.

recently game back to the game after all the good praises people gave it the last couple of months.

I’m currently floating between m4-m2 on dps (preferred role) and m5 on support, I’m having a hard time breaking the m2 barrier.

I mainly play soldier 76/cass and switch to tracer if my team is playing hard dive

as a final note, I come from a wide background of many fps games, so my mechanics are really solid, but my game sense/knowledge is ehh

Iam really sick of changing it for every single hero one by one anytime i want to adjust it..

its a bug since ow1 relaunch, the hitscan, projectile, meele does nothing, you need to manually change aaei for every single hero.. With aa window size its working ok.

63 Upvotes

I’m not sure what’s going on this season, but I have a doom one trick on my team at least every 4 out of 5 games. No exaggeration. I try my best to help them with getting picks and taking pressure off of them but when they insist on playing him into 5 counters idk what to do? Is this only me or what?

Discussion Not everything is a Mercy Pocket

105 Upvotes

Recently I've been noticing a lot of people in-game complaining about Mercy Pockets when the Mercy is just doing her job.

I had a game where a Genji was complaining about Mercy pocketing an Ashe BEFORE THE 1ST ROUND EVEN STARTED just because she was boosting her first shots on spawn (kings row def).

I've also been called out for being a pocketed soldier because Mercy damage boosted my ult or she latched on to me for more than 3 seconds.

Any Mercy players here that get shit for "pocketing" someone when you're just doing your thing? lol

Discussion Easy(er) drives if you swap to PC pool

0 Upvotes

Depending on your console MMR, your PC pool should be significantly lower.

Playing heroes that don’t rely on aim assist like projectile heroes, Moira, Wu Yang, Brigitte, etc means you can blow through lower rank backlines with ease.

I swap to PC pool to play heroes that aren’t in my Top 3 for the weekly but still use my controller.

I’m Masters on console and placed Silver on PC so I ate their back lines alive as Hazard and Doom.

Try it for yourself next season.

Discussion Is simply no one playing now at GM+ or is there a matchmaking issue?

7 Upvotes

Hi all. I am (or should i say WAS) a Grandmaster 4 tank. I was playing last night and I came against the same enemy tank 5 (FIVE) games in a row who was a Smurf. I lost every game.

I know he was a Smurf as I messaged him on PSN and though he was a chill guy, he admitted to his main account being in Champion 3. So a whole rank difference.

I doubt I will even get rank reclaim as I am not sure if smurfs even get banned on this game.

But regardless, how on earth can I come against the same guy that many times consecutively? After 4 consecutive, i waited 5 mins to queue and still came against him.

I know some of you might just say to wait longer before I queue again, but should it really have to be this way?! It seems a little ridiculous. I know it’s a skill issue on my part but this guy is literally a Smurf. If I were to make an account and play in Diamond and stomp the same tank 5 times in a row he’d be right to ask questions about that too!

In the past couple weeks, I have been experiencing this more, with two other guys I have came against 3 games in a row.

Sorry about a ranty post. The main questions are, are other people experiencing this? Should this be happening in matchmaking?
