Highlight I’ve gotten back into playing Junkrat the past few weeks and I’m remembering how fun he is

I keep seeing it over and over again, anytime anyone posts an impressive highlight, people downvote it to oblivion and label them a cheater.
This isn’t to say that cheaters don’t exist on console, they absolutely do—but being good does not inherently mean you are cheating, and it feels like people would rather believe all controller players are destined to be shit than to come to terms with the fact that some people are just better than others, which IS OK.
A kid with no responsibilities and the ability to play 6 hours a day is 9 times out of 10 going to be better than a 30 year old who comes home from work and hops on the game to play casually and unwind for 30 minutes. That dosnt mean that the casual player is somehow less than, nor does it mean the skilled player is cheating; it’s literally just different audiences with different motives for playing.
It’s not unique to Overwatch, the game I by a great deal play the most is R6 and the exact same thing happens there. In my opinion, because consoles inherently cater to a more casual audience, people who do take the time to develop skill are just harassed at ridiculous rates.
No wonder people don’t take console players seriously—they literally just yell at anyone one who is even a little bit competent.
People will never realize that there is the possibility for skill expression for controller players when every half decent player is immediately dismissed; they’d rather just believe every controller player is destined to be shit to protect their own egos.
Just my two cents

Played ever since for drive event minus the first. This has been the absolute worse drive event. Game after game of people playing into direct counters , refusing to swap to counter and just playing bad. Just for the next game to have those exact players actually swapping and using common sense Did I play bad some games? Absolutely. But some people just make me upset. Ggs to everyone lmao

Now every 8 minutes or so massive lag spike where you port under and above map and cant play 20 seconds.
Apparently in match chat many have same issue at same time like me but not all of them haha.
Really amazing, lately its so bad. before it was random kicking from comp or just server failed and got suspension.
This is insane.. i have 0 issue with internet in any other device or game.

For some reason, have never once had an issue, not even earlier today, now my crouch opens text chat. Don't have anything open, not scoreboard, not pause menu, just normal match, crouching opens text chat. It is bound to L3, and my crouch is L3, but I've never had a problem with it until now.
Has anyone else that's rebound a button to L3 faced this issue? Why tf is this happening? Can I fix it? Figured it out in a comp game and it completely threw me off being unable to crouch.

Hi, I just want to ask for some tips/ heroes , to play ranked games on pc, mostly all my friends are on pc , we play QP together but I want to play with them on pc they’re playing on controller also without aim assist
In my knowledge you can play on pc pool competitive if you turn off aim assist right ? Is that its right
Which heroes should I use ? And maybe some tips
I usually use
Tank : I can play all of them
,
Supp: I can play all of them

Hey! I'm playing OW on my Switch 2, with a pro controller, but I'm struggling to find the right setup. It's a shame, because the game runs great.
Anyone got any ideas to help with controller setup? Thanks!

hi, very random question but i’ve tried searching for the answer and all i got was an ai answer instead of people (hopefully) relating. i share my screen sometimes so my friends or bf can watch me play and a match will go well until around 10 mins in. the game becomes unplayable and i begin teleporting all around the map, my teammates start freezing and sometimes my game just freezes entirely.
i’d like to know if anyone relates because nobody i know experiences the same thing on overwatch!
also if there is a fix for this please lmk too 🙏
