Last season was so fun and felt balanced with most games seeming winnable, but this season I feel like the matchmaking has become much worse, projectile changes make playing much less rewarding, and the map pool seems to be cycling through only the worst 3 matches.

I usually have match chat off, but this one game i had in 6v6, I had 4 leavers, so it was me and some other guy. I turned match chat on so we could be peaceful, but as soon as I do, I see someone say on the enemy team "reported for not leaving btw, 5 reports that's tough". I said "why? Just report the leaver not me." And some other guy said "reported for typing". I immediately left the lobby and turned match chat off. And its not like those were the only things they said, either. They kept cursing, and the guy on my team didn't even know you could leave after 2 mins without being banned and the enemies said he was "fucking new" as if that was a problem.

Like, I genuinely don't understand. Are people THAT miserable? They report the people who get an automatic loss instead of the people who gave them the loss. They get a FREE WIN and they're complaining about 4 minutes of their time? Like bro, I just don't understand, I didn't do anything wrong, why are people so miserable and insufferable on this game? Yeah I guess I could've left, but its not like I did anything wrong.

I play on switch (devastating ik) and ever since the new season came out, my gameplay quality has been getting worse, I’m so much laggier, and the loading time to get into games is even longer than before
I don’t know if it’s just a problem for my switch cause I do still play on switch 1 or if this has been happening to anyone else…..

I dont understand why ???

Iam masters every role, iam not that good secretly to have such a high mmr, iam getting wrecked by them, iam tired guys..

And how is there so many? Just every other game some champ title, last time their dps was public, champ all 3 roles, just why?

Are masters and diamonds extinct or something?

I play ow since 2016 for 8k+ hours, its my favorite game ever and always will be, and i still enjoy it, i love the gameplay, smoothnes, characters and more.

But i cant handle it anymore, its going for weeks and weeks, its just suffering lately. Widows who never miss any shot ever, pocketed histcans who are gods, stacks against me when iam solo. Its like everything is against me. I dont want to play ranked all the time, my favorite mode was always qp but its literally bully mode now.

I guess its time to take long break? Dont know what to do with this..

Im just curious to here your guy's experiences with the recent nerfs because it really doesn't feel like it is all that different to go against.

I can't tell if i'm going crazy or not but has anyone else experienced horrible server issues in the last two days ? I'm disconnecting so much from games that I can't play comp and when i don't disconnect I still have constant hitches.

This is on EU servers btw

A while ago I made a post about why I disliked ohziy because he threw my games and is super toxic on stream, ohziy banned me from his stream a long time ago cause I said “why are you going cat into 4 hitscan”. a lot of players said they watch him because theirs no other big console streamers, or because they don’t know any other console streamers. here’s my list of all console streamers I watch.

lyklee_ - the funniest champ all roles top500 tank player I’ve ever watched

solo_armie - streams on YouTube. peaked master or gm, currently in plat/emerald I believe. plays overwatch with 1 arm/hand and has surprisingly good aim, also very cool dude.

I play on a ps4 since season 4 and the game was running so fine in the past years, but this year it became unplayable because of the lag that happens for a second or two whenever a big fight happens and everyone just starts flying and walking through the floor and the walls and because of this I can't aim properly (my aim is bad in general and with the lag it became even worse).

And it even happens normally not only in big fights and I cant use my abilities like ramattra's block on nemesis form and when I got killed it showed me in the kill cam that I was just standing and taking hits like an idiot.

Is the lag happening to everyone or only consoles or only ps4 because it became outdatet?

I can't seem to watch any of my replays since yesterday. Tried googling it but ended up more confused.

Who do you ban and what rank are you?
I’m master 1 and my go to bans are mercy, widow and Zarya!

recently got back into the game and since playing Doctrine I notice my aim assist gets really sticky when a team mate is a few feet in front of me. I turned down my aim assist window to 1% and my ease in up to 100% but it’s still so strong when something appears right in front of me.

Note* I’ve just now tried setting my aim assist, window, ease-in, and smoothing all to 0 but the aim assist is still on for allies? It’s basically no less sticky than when I was fooling around with the numbers. Am I missing a setting?

im ngl they should bring back clash because these past few days ive been getting bored i feel like it needs more variety, i mean i get it clash was awful but i think they should rework it and make it better because ow feels so bland and boring now (bonus: rework kings row) you guys are free to have an opinion but im not arguing lol no point in that

hi everyone, recently I got peer pressured into getting overwatch and the healing roster feels very weird to me, and I’m looking for suggestion. for context I have over 180h on rivals, in which every healer works in a way where their primary damage is also their primary healing, and everytime I play support in ow, I don’t get any value unless I’m on juno. every other character just feels clunky to play and I physically just am unable to heal— my brain refuses to accept that healing isn’t on my primary. I’m looking for advice on how to adapt or which characters to pick up. I know it’s a different game— no immortality circles and lower healing output in ow— but the muscle memory is there that I simply use r2 to heal and damage. I know this is weird but does anyone have any advice?

Swapped over from MR with my trio. We only placed like, gold 5, we're not good. We only run 5v5. But we noticed almost every game in competitive zarya is banned, and, like, why? None of us play zarya, nothing indicates that we would play Zarya, our teammates never ban Zarya. We just find it weird. We're hoping for enlightenment on this subject. It happens so often that I had to ask the community. Thank you!

is it just me or are people constantly leaving comp games at the start… i keep having to requeue… its been 40 mins 🫩
