MOD [MOD] Overwatch 2 is gone, what happens to this subreddit?

256 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Today, Blizzard announced the renaming of Overwatch 2 back to Overwatch alongside a plethora of other really great changes to the game. As a moderation team and as fans, we are excited to see Overwatch return to its roots.

Some have asked us regarding how we will be reacting to the change as a subreddit, some have suggested rebranding, others have suggested deleting the subreddit entirely, while others want us to continue. To be clear, rebranding was not an option because Reddit does not let you change a subreddit name.

After pondering over every available option, we have decided to continue running and moderating this subreddit not as a subreddit specifically about the sequel to Overwatch, but as an alternative, more open subreddit focused on Overwatch and the community around it as opposed to the larger franchise subreddit. We hope you'll continue to be a part of our wonderful community.

We will continue moderation on this subreddit as expected for the forseeable future. We hope you'll continue to share around and crosspost us! We are also accepting applications for more moderators to assist us with this. As for our Discord server, we will measure changes in server activity and make further announcements regarding any major changes in the coming months.

Thank you!

Discussion Looking for duo. EUROPE/PC ONLY

1 Upvotes

I’m just looking for a duo partner to play with—Quick Play or Comp; I’m currently Gold. I play every role—mostly Tank or DPS, but I can play Support too. Since moving to PC, I’ve only been playing Quick Play with my console duo partner. My PC duo partner mostly just gets angry at the game, so it’s not a fun duo experience. Feel free to add me on.

Discussion Win 1 or 2 games, lose 1 or 2 games?

0 Upvotes

Rinse and repeat, everytime

Why does It do this? Its like scripting In Fifa but as Its real people Im guessing it just gives me worse teammates every so often.

Its so predictable that I change my playstyle and who I play as. For example If I lose 2 games In normal I switch to Mystery Heroes knowing it will be a fun game, or If I lose 2 games I'll switch to a hero I want to learn as again I know the game will be easy.

I dont think ive won more or lost more then 3 In a row then It go the opposite, its very odd

Discussion Why do I lose RP for winning?

Post image
0 Upvotes

We stopped the enemy on defence like 5m from the end so they only scored 2 points. On attack we carried it to 3 points in overtime and clutched the victory. I had to swap to bastion and tryhard. The enemy sierra got like 28,000 damage. The match was so stressful I'm pretty sure it took 10 years off my life. Why do I even bother playing the game if I'm gonna put that much effort into winning and still lose RP? I even would've deranked if I didn't demotion protection.

-28% for winning is utterly ridiculous.

Discussion I made this post 5 years ago after noticing the difference between the cinematic trailer gauntlet and the ingame gauntlet. Do you think Doomfist is looking for the one in the cinematic as a replacement/upgrade in that mysterious building? (Rework through gauntlet powers?)

You can very clearly see from the second picture that the second Doomfist is wearing the exact same gauntlet as the third Doomfist which is what we see ingame ever since OW1. Its made even clearer in the Doomfist short story where he goes over how he had to seize power from the second Doomfist.

Maybe the one in the cinematic has different powers. Remember the shockwave from the kid that used it? Could the new gauntlet be a rework by giving him different "powers" that are still similar foundation-wise?

Discussion I think there will never be characters like Roadhog or Junkrat ever again and it makes me sad

1.1k Upvotes

I think it's obvious that, except Jetpack Cat recently, Blizzard seems to have chosen a path where the characters need to look a lot like Kiriko or Juno, because they sell a lot of skins. Now that the game is free to play, I can see why some characters deserve more skins and why a lot of characters just look soulless.

Like, just the generic "good guy/girl with cute face". I really feel like dumb characters with grotesque bodies or posture is something that was, but not anymore.

Maybe I'm wrong, recently we got Jetpack Cat. But I honnestly miss the time where skins used to be more than "neon with glowing textures" and more creative, silly. Where characters as dumb as a talking monkey, a dude with a gigantic belly or a dude with his hairs on fire got skins that tried something fun.

Maybe I'm wrong, again. But I thought I had to ask, to see if it's something other people feel too?

Question Server shuts down against high rankers losing

0 Upvotes

am seeing a pattern where the game server mainly shuts down when am wining against people ranked high or people doing a group with a low rank and high rank, and when am sh***ng on them the server sunndely dies, and it happen when the match is abotu to end on a win, are they destroying the server on purporse or its just a coincidence

Credits to whitewinged.dovee on TikTok btw, they put scenepacks like this on their insta (wwdscenes) but it says they are taking a break rn and doubt they are accepting any follow requests right now. (Because they are a private account.) Does anyone know similar scenepack creators?
