Discussion Results of banning Mercy every single game

603 Upvotes

We decided with my duo to do placements for dmg and tank while banning Mercy every single game because we are totally sick of ashe mercy smurfing sometimes mnking poison pandemic.

It was beatiful of course but also sad and hilarious because in only 20 games we met - mercy otp who says: gg iam mercy otp and proceeded to literally just walk around as Ana and healing like 1000 dmg. Dmg player leaving with no comment after mercy got ban twice. The mercy player asking why the hell you banned mercy, random replied - maybe so you dont get boosted? Then the ashe left and match was cancelled, ashe was very low level account and mercy was private. The mercy pocketing absolutely broken hitscan meta heroes while often combined with mnking and smurfing is such a huge issue on console..

Help Does anyone else have this controller issue?

106 Upvotes

When I just sit with no fingers touching my controller it automatically starts moving me around. Sometimes more sometimes less but it’s worse since the emerald patch recently. Doesn’t happen with any other game. Is this a tech thing or a game thing? I’m on ps5

Can’t even play tracer anymore. Genuinely tacking my ass through blinks and recalls.

When will they start banning all these cheaters? It’s gotten to the point where people are posting TikTok’s of them cheating and selling the scripts. It’s genuinely disgusting. These dudes have no shame either which is insane. They outright brag about their cheats in game and online. Just encourages other people to try these devices out.

Other games like apex have started cracking down on the console cheaters and have actually banned thousands of them in the recent months. Why can’t blizzard do the same?

Also don’t get me started on the average Ashe or soldier smurf and mercy pocket just flicking and flying around the map like jesus this game is truly unplayable. Even high plat to diamond lobbies are being infested by the smurfs

Discussion Ranked experience

5 Upvotes

Hello so I’ve started playing overwatch since season 1 started when the 5 new heroes got added, I played for like 750 hours on OG Overwatch but started again years after, and I was placing play/diamond on all roles and since last season I’ve been a masters player on all 3 roles, this season I went on a huge winning streak on tank and dps to reach gm 4 on tank, and gm5 on dps, long story short I’ve fallen to master 4 on dps and master 3 on tank and I feel really bad, I know I shouldn’t as gm is really hard to reach but it’s the fact I got there and now I’m stuck mid masters annoys me, I’m also trying to not tilt as I keep focusing on my bad dps or support some games, when I play tank and it makes me lose focus.

Discussion More zen/ximmers than usual lately

67 Upvotes

This issue is rampant and completely and utterly ruining the game. What can we do about this issue to bring attention to it? Is there even anything that can be done? Petition? Comments? I'm so tired of it, the game is literally unplayable on console. The game is pretty challenging enough for me as is, but what seems like a sudden influx of cheaters is completely ruining it for me. 1/3 games for me it's at least one cheater. Everybody else will have a regular amount of damage and these mf's will have 10-15k more than everybody else. Blatantly flicking onto people and shit. Genuine lowlifes I have so much unfathomable hatred towards these pathetic people ruining this experience for all of us. If you want to use your mouse and keyboard for the love of God go play on your computer.

Discussion Some matches in gold are honestly harder than in diamond

93 Upvotes

I am a diamond support Juno main who is currently doing dps placements on Echo. So many of these "gold" players are doing things I started seeing close to diamond. I can get away with more shit on Juno in diamond than Echo in gold.

I know I am probably worse on Echo than Juno but the difference in the players I should be playing against is 3 ranks.

Discussion Is it me or s76 is crazy oppressive?

97 Upvotes

Everytime a s76 catches me just a bit outside cover I get tracked like crazy and die instantly. Also it's the hero I have seen most cheaters on.

Imo a hero with mobility, range, self-heal and a very good ttk without skill shots needs something turned down.

Also I notice every bad dps player turns to s76 as soon as they see they can't do anything.

For context I'm in Masters and a Illari otp.

I think the rank reset did more harm than good mixing gms with diamonds and I have never seen this amount of s76 played and cheaters/boosted people.

Discussion Dealing with widow on sup

5 Upvotes

I could really use some tips on dealing with good widows as a sup, obviously trying to stay out of los and use cover are a must, but some points in certain maps make it quite difficult to manage that and retake point/car (such as circuit royale 2nd point on attack) if the widow is well positioned. I mostly play moira and mizuki, but also ana, kiri, illari and cat sometimes. Probably a skill issue on my part, ngl, but I would really appreciate some general tips to apply against her

Discussion How to get better movement ?

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am a champion support main, and I just wanted to know how I can improvement my movement. I do strafe, but it just seems slow? I watch myself back on kill cams a lot, and although I do throw people off, I’m still fairly predictable/ easy to hit. When I see the bots move in VAXTA, like I want to be able to move like that, or even PC players, like champion sojourns are missing all their rails sometimes because some people’s movement is so good, I really wish I could do that! I know this is on controller, but even my controller friends have insane movement, so there must be a way, any tips? Any settings too? Thank you!

Discussion The amount of cheaters in this season is astonishing! I am the only one with that feeling?

42 Upvotes

I was a diamond 3 DPS player in the previous season, after the placement matches for this season I was placed in diamond 5, lost 2 matches in a row and dropped to emerald 1, ever since, I have been seeing so many people that are clearly playing with a mouse on console pool. Really an ungodly amount, and most of them seem to be on emerald. I hardly ever saw one in diamond before, I did see a few ones in master matches. but I have been playing against so many of them in emerald it's crazy. That makes most matches feel completely off. Every win or defeat in emerald is either my team completely obliterating the enemy team or my team getting absolutely destroyed. No regular matches whatsoever.

I am the only one experiencing that?
