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

259 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 Hacker now even admit they use cheats. They are just this stupid

14 Upvotes

A cheater with Widowmaker. Plus, the idiot admits he uses Cronus, a €100 aim assist device. Lol, I think he eventually turned off the hack or it wasn't working because 3rd point hollywood was a closed area, but in the first point he got almost six headshot kills in a row.

Opinion Can someone give me more than one reason why Cassidy’s flash grenade needs hinder?

Upvotes

Like what? Cause it’s been a widely viewed as the most hated thing and it only fits into the BS that is Cassidy being a two shot hero. I would rather go back to flashback just being a damage ability then and ability that has the hit box of an Mauga disable every movement ability in the game.

Can’t wait for all the people saying just get good or you’re just mad.

Question Fps drops in game

6 Upvotes

Hi, I have an issue with my fps in the game, I have moments when it drops to 5 and can't do nothing except for leaving the game and entering back and got banned from rank a few times. Normally it's around 200 but after some time in the game it drops to 5-10 fps and it's just awful. I tried changing the settings in the game for better fps, cleared the laptops cache, modified the cores that will sustain it but it still drops. Does anybody know what can I do to change that and enjoy the game normally?? Thanks!

Question Is the genji cheating?

8 Upvotes

Hey guys, this is the replay code for a game - DTKEZ4 And someone claimed the genji in the attacking team is cheating. I’m fairly new to games in general so I don’t understand what is it about his gameplay or aim that makes it obvious that he is cheating. Can someone explain it to me? 😭😭😭

Opinion After experiencing a cat and bastion game, I cannot comprehend how it has not been nerfed

57 Upvotes

Like i’m probably gonna get a lot of “why didn’t you go hitscan dps or why didn’t you ban cat and or it doesn’t happen that often” but if they are half decent duo just going hitscan won’t do anything, the only way to fight it is to mirror it. I didn’t ban cat, because I rarely see anyone play them and I won’t make that mistake again. Yes this is also because I’m frustrated about games like that, because we did run cat and bastian after that and we run lobbys with no problem.

And since they are refusing to even add a max duration to lifeline, because they would rather nerf everything else about cat except the problem.

because they’re not doing anything about it, I employ you to give them a reason, if you have a duo and you guys can at least communicate and aim well, you can most likely run a lobby as a cat and bastian.

Question Endorsing players

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I used to be able to endorse any player I want after a match. Not sure when it got changed, but now I can only endorse 2 predefined players from each team. Can I still endorse other players? If yes, how?

I want to endorse players who actually contributed to the game, not because they got potg or finished off kills someone else should be credited for.

Thank you!

Discussion Mirrorwatch 2 Idea

3 Upvotes

Saw another post mention Mirrorwatch Skins and it made me consider what another round of it might look like.

What immediately came to mind was Junkerqueen equivalent Domina, Junker equivalent Lifeweaver, and Vishkar equivalent Junkerqueen, Junkrat, and Roadhog. I honestly think Hog and Junkrat could get really cool skins from it. I like one of those two getting the mythic (like, imagine the cool Hardlight effects you could do for Junkrat's explosions, or Hog's Scrapgun firing a spread of hardlight beams).

What are your thoughts?

I was totally on board with a living island theme, maybe some duality between some sandstone and obsidian mixing some opposing forces into the weapons.

Fan Content Dream Collab: MTG x Overwatch Ashe "Liliana Vess" skin concept art

I know everyone is a bit tired of crossover collabs in games lately, but I’d still love to see MTG characters pop up in other franchises.

Liliana is my absolute favorite Planeswalker, and Ashe’s vibe and aesthetic fit her so well. What do you guys think? Which other Planeswalkers would make great OW hero skins?

I just came across this pic on twitter and the nostalgia immediately hit me. Starwatch game mode was really fun and sigma mythic was and still is the best back when mythic skins weren’t divine slop.
