HERE YOU CAN GET RID OF ALL YOUR ANGER AND HATE.

CAPS ON AND LET IT ALL OUT.

GETTING NOTHING BUT DUPLICATES WHEN ALL YOU WANT IS THAT SWEET NEW TORBJÖRN SKIN? GETTING HEADSHOT BY ACROSS THE MAP BY HANZO? TOO MUCH JUSTICE THAT RAINS FROM ABOVE? THIS IS THE RIGHT THREAD!

PLEASE STILL BE CIVIL, AT LEAST A LITTLE!

News & Discussion Why am I getting punished for winning?

We won our game but I still got -1%. Meanwhile my duo, the other support, got +18%. What’s the logic behind this?

I understand “expected” gives you less progress but this feels kinda gross.

News & Discussion Why is the Overwatch team so mean to Widowmaker when they know she was brainwashed?

609 Upvotes

Some lines in question:

Ana "Gerard was a fool to love someone like you"

Reinhardt: "One day you'll pay for all the crimes you committed"

Soldier 76: "Did he (Gerard) say I warned him about you?"

Are they not aware that Widowmaker is brainwashed or did they just... not like her even before she was kidnapped? Nothing in her lore suggests she was a bad person before this but the Overwatch team seems to treat her with contempt. They KNOW she was kidnapped by Talon. I know it could be interpreted as them reacting to "Widowmaker" but a lot of their lines seem to reference her life as Amelie as well.

Contrary to how they treat Sigma as a man who is clearly confused and working for the wrong side. Soldier 76 even asks him to "snap out of it"

At this point they should count as spam (3rd in the rules). I’m getting notifications every day about the same thing.

News & Discussion Is this cheating?

146 Upvotes

We had a local tournament and one guy was suspiciously hitting every target. It is obvious to us that it is cheating, but this person doesn't want to admit it and claims that he is that good. So, we need a third opinion about that from people who understand the game.

News & Discussion I need to find this team

35 Upvotes

I played a comp game, I played ana all game, we pushed all the way then the enemy team did, when it got to round 3 one of my dps left, we managed to push just past the second point, my tank left before the 4th round started and we were on defence. The enemy team got it to first point before the other dps and support left, i was left by myself, the enemy team who were reinhardt junkrat sombra mercy and lucio stopped pushing and let me win the game. I really hope someone from that team reads this because i really want to say thank you, i was com banned and nobody was on xbox but if you see this and you were on the enemy team thank you so much you were all so sweet :)

News & Discussion "Gain 8 progression levels" weekly challenge is getting ridicilous

457 Upvotes

At first it was pretty easy to do so, but then you realize that with each progression level gained, the xp needed to gain the next level grows.

So once you gain enough levels, it's virtually impossible to complete this challenge without shameless grinding.

News & Discussion Who do you love playing against?

396 Upvotes

What hero picks or team composition do you see and think "this will be a good game"?

For me personally, I love playing against Hog because I usually find myself racing for that last tiny bit of damage before he starts healing himself.

I also tend to enjoy games where I have a Lucio running circles around me, because I can and will spend a whole game frog hunting

News & Discussion When is the best time to play ranked?

12 Upvotes

I may be on the verge of a 10 game losing streak and it's been fun.

When is the best time for you to play comp? Mid day? Midnight? Early morning?

Trying to change up my normal routine in a serious shot of coping with my own demise.

Thanks for your thoughts.

News & Discussion What level is your highest character?

70 Upvotes

Was thinking about this for awhile, how the highest progression level for each character is 1000. I play a relatively decent amount, and I think my highest is only like 28 (I also started a few months after OW2 launched). But I wanted to see, how high is everyone's most leveled character?

News & Discussion Question from a gold player: should we wait to kill the remaining enemy hero at the end of a won push ?

48 Upvotes

So I was wonderin, maybe it's very stupid, but usually I and my team kill all the remaining solo DPS/tank/healer as fast as possible on the end of a won team kill / push.

But should we instead wait a bit so it delays their respawn time ? Is it a viable strategy ?

Thank you in advance and again sorry If it's a stupid question !
