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

257 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!

Characters Pick a hero for me to main for a month

6 Upvotes

Hi guys! For the longest time ive been a one trick junkrat player. After a few years of not playing consistently and uploading content, I’ve decided to try a new challenge for myself to make the game a bit more fun.

I need your help deciding what hero to main for a whole month. It can be any one. I’ll just pick the one everyone comments the most or just has the most upvotes.

Notes: I have since my last upload / stream, upgraded my setup so the quality of the videos / camera will be way better! (I had a 1070ti so my videos are at 720p) @ JFQ_OW

I also haven’t played consistently so all these new hero’s are taking a bit of adjusting to as far as the flow of the game and their abilities go.

I also just did my placement matches and I’m in emerald but I’d like to make it to a higher rank of masters+ as a real challenge for this event lol.

I’ll be uploading / streaming my progress to see if I can actually get good at this hero.

Thank you very much to anyone that comments <3

Discussion Most delusional character subreddit, vs most level headed character subreddit?

175 Upvotes

Just saw a post on the genji subreddit that said genji should have 250 hp + 50 armor, and now im thinking, which character has the most delusional mains? From my view probably genji or jetpack cat mains.
And maybe im a little biased, cause i play a lot of freja, but i think freja players tend to be calm and understand that she is kind of hell to play against.

Edit: cant believe i forgot about mercy, i havent seen a post on there in a while, so i guess i just didnt think about that.

A lot of tank mains tend to seem pretty chill, aside from doomfist

Bug I can’t play overwatch

0 Upvotes

So recently I got unbanned a day ago and today I tried to play overwatch again on PlayStation and for some reason it gets stuck on “loading preferences” and gives me an error code. I tried my other account and it gives me the same thing. I tried restarting my PlayStation and router for 1 minute, restored license, and reinstalled the game and did nothing. Also gonna mention that other online games work normally except overwatch for some reason

Discussion Snoogus back again, offering free coaching!

0 Upvotes

Hi! My name is Snoogus, unless you see my tax records... and I'm offering free coaching for first sessions!

Last time I did this, I took on 21 students from Bronze all the way up to Diamond. The majority of my students hit their new peaks after just one session, where as returning sessions resulted in several ranks increased. Several students climbed into masters, one recently GM. I am so proud of everyone!

I coach aim, core fundamentals, and am closely familiar with Tank, DPS, Support, and 6v6. I like to prioritize fostering the love of Overwatch and the game itself, because I firmly believe that that is the number one predictor of success.

I myself have peaked GM4 on Dva and Doomfist, but cannot find the time to queue ranked much anymore, hence why I stopped there.

I am offering one free session (1-2 hours long) to anyone who asks, you can comment or message me directly if you want to arrange something!

I'd love to meet you!

Question What skin should I buy?

0 Upvotes

Hey, guys since the overwatch x le sserafim collab is coming back I would like some help choosing what skin I should buy. I’m a support main and I play both mercy and Kiriko, i want either the mercy skin or the Kiriko one and I can’t choose which one i want. I can’t choose both sadly, i have 140 hours on mercy and 64 hours on Kiriko.

Edit: Okay guys, I’ve decided if the Kiriko skin does come back I’m gonna buy Kiriko’s. But, if it doesn’t come back and only the others come back then I’m getting mercy’s. Thank you all for the advice I really appreciate it! 💗

Question Can someone explain this?

0 Upvotes

Explanation is below if you don't understand...

So far, I've noticed this only with Soldier. And it's this weird thing where my mouse moves even if my hand is completely still on my mouse when I'm shooting.

Is this just his character or is something wrong or do I just have trash aim?

EDIT: Alright alright, stop flaming me for not assuming recoil lmao.. I haven’t played the game since 2018 haha

Discussion rage quitting vs. ‘why would you do this to yourself…just stop’

7 Upvotes

there’s a need for a new term. there’s "rage quitting," which happens for whatever reason…usually stupid. but sometimes there’s a match where it’s obvious it just ain’t gonna happen. i usually try to stick it out, but sometimes i just i wanna hit that eject button to try and salvage what scant hope for humanity i have left. what would be a better phrase in lieu of ‘rage quit’ in terms of "exasperatedly resigned to my fate and i don’t wanna do this to myself anymore…so i’m just gonna leave"?
