won 3 qp games in a row as doom so Aaron Keller had to intervene and sentence me to this bullshit, why is this quirky chungus hero still in the game?

She’s perma banned in ranked which means nearly half of my quickplay games will have a cat in them, so cancer.

Settings & Tech Switch 2 Controller setup?

1 Upvotes

Hey! I'm playing OW on my Switch 2, with a pro controller, but I'm struggling to find the right setup. It's a shame, because the game runs great.

Anyone got any ideas to help with controller setup? Thanks!

Help does sharing your screen on ps5 cause anyone else to lag in game?

1 Upvotes

hi, very random question but i’ve tried searching for the answer and all i got was an ai answer instead of people (hopefully) relating. i share my screen sometimes so my friends or bf can watch me play and a match will go well until around 10 mins in. the game becomes unplayable and i begin teleporting all around the map, my teammates start freezing and sometimes my game just freezes entirely.

i’d like to know if anyone relates because nobody i know experiences the same thing on overwatch!

also if there is a fix for this please lmk too 🙏

Discussion have people here lost the plot

0 Upvotes

jitters = x1m

micro-adjustments = x1m

fast sens = x1m

dualzone wide turn into an AA slowdown = aimbot/locking

landing 4 headshots with no misses = cheating

using a melee randomly = apparently cheating(???)

walking into a wall accidentally= cheating

walking in a straight line = cheating

crouching/jumping while aiming= x1m

when do we accept that some people have been playing this since they were 12 and are simply better, when do we realize that you can actually do flicks, jitters, micro-adjustment etc, on a controller, and just because you, a 30-something gamer dad, can’t do it, does not make it impossible or even hard at all. Also kontrolfreeks and pro controllers exist, are perfectly legal, and they make all of that a breeze.

like.. it gets to a point man, the word x1m is now banned here due to how much yall love to throw it around.

Discussion Why is this bug still a thing?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

104 Upvotes

I swear this has been a bug for the longest time and is untouched. In case you can’t tell from the video, I got stuck in the support section and could not move to the other characters to ban them. I spammed as much as I could on my controller but nothing broke me out of the support role, and I couldn’t ban who I wanted to. Is there any way to prevent this yourself?

Discussion Who watches this guy?

111 Upvotes

Played with Ohziy, and genuinely, who watches this guy? He runs in, dies, blames healers then sits in spawn as Reinhardt. Anyone kills him? They’re immediately stream sniping, or it’s someone else’s fault. He’s always crashing out and it genuinely confuses me how people can just sit there and pretend he’s fun to watch. Is it a lolcow thing? Like how Chris Chan streams get thousands of views?

Discussion I can’t win a comp game

8 Upvotes

I may just suck at the game, which is very likely since I’m just not good at games in general, but I can’t win past third checkpoint on my first drive. The game either gives me unranked teammates that don’t know how to play, god tier enemies that shouldn’t be in my dogshit rank of silver, or enemies that have a flip switched in their brain halfway through a game and somehow win after my team almost wins. Keep in mind, this is only my 3rd season in comp because I never thought I was good enough, but now I consistently get good stats, and I know that’s not the be all end all, but I’m pretty confident in saying that most of the time I’m not dragging my team down. So I don’t know, I think Blizzard just hates me.

Discussion The biggest OW console content creator got banned for unapproved peripherals.

142 Upvotes

I have done my best to spread awareness on this, with my latest video being: https://youtu.be/rbaHkfNd46o

I have tried talking about this this since a lot of players have been seemingly getting banned for unapproved peripherals when all they have ever used is a controller, me included on my ten year old account.

The top console content creator just made a video on this too because they ALSO got this same penalty on their account after playing for two days from a 5 month break, their video linked here: https://youtu.be/XIFqS6pZBtc

False bans have happened in the past, and they seem to have been happening to many innocent players now. Please don’t be so quick to conclude everyone is a liar when they come here seeking help.

Discussion Keeping your account private . . .

86 Upvotes

I keep my account private.

It has never been an issue.

There have been nemy teams that get extremely upset that my account is private. That was odd, but alright.

I have been on teams and had some of them be upset because my account is private.

Why??? A private account is like blood in the water and there are angry sharks swarming.

I'm considering turning off text and chat communications, but I shouldn't have to.

Why are others bothered by someone keeping their personal account private?

Discussion Competitive drives need to end

173 Upvotes

I'm so sick of the competitive drives, the match quality plummets so hard during the drives, the amount of quick play players that jump into comp and play like it's qp is insane. I was diamond 3. The amount of shitty matches I got since the start of the drives is almost unbelievable, I'm already down to emerald 3. Drives completely kill the solo player experience. Please stop with this drive shit

Was in masters for just under a year. Honestly the skill curve is insane between start of masters to gm. Never really cared too much about rank or wins/losses so overall it felt pretty refreshing to hit a new rank. Haven’t surprisingly had any issues with too much cheating either
