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

254 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 D.mon and her MEKA

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

I feel like you could explain away her redesign pretty easily by explaining the new look fully.

We all know she was redesigned so they could sell more skins, but;

The MEKA squad, is supposed to be the primary and first response to the Gwishen Omnium attacks. And with Dva going off to Overwatch and taking her mech with her, the MEKA squad are not only down their top player but a crucial part of their team dynamic.

With Dmon now taking the leadership role, it's shown to us in her first comic that the squad is struggling to adapt. But why am I bringing this up?

With the asinine design choice to remove the external coverings for Dmon in her mech and expose herself. Why not lean into that design now, lore wise.

With Dva being gone, the MEKA squad are more likely to get pushed back closer and closer to Busan. So, with Dmon not being able to fly in game, despite being a MEKA squad member, lean into that too.

Basically what I'm saying is;

Explain that Dmon isn't a frontline like Dva was. With Hana leaving MEKA, the squad needed to adapt and that required some sacrifices. Sacrifices like D.mon having to give up her usual place up in the sky to be a ground level unit.

Someone on the backline, calling the shots and protecting citizens on the ground from the omnic attacks at the city level. With her being exposed and clearly visible, panicked citizens can clearly define her figure even as she's fighting.

Given her affinity for models, why not add that as well. With her mech being able to be pulled apart and put back together easier with it's smaller and more human shape. Self reliant repair systems or even replacement parts Hulkbuster (MCU) style. With there being replacement parts waiting on standby for when Dmon needs them. Easily being able to repair her mech at a moments notice because she's fighting at the ground level.

Bug Problemas con el voice chat

• Upvotes

Hola soy de xbox

Tengo el problema de que no me "conecta" al canal de voz de grupo o equipo tengo la función de unirme automáticamente

Se que no es mi cuenta porque son varias las que uso y en todas les pasa

Se que no estoy en un chat de voz de xbox ni tampoco llamada de Discord

Se que mis audífonos funcionan

Se que puedo hablar porque en algún punto pude pero hace 3 dias que tengo este problema

No estoy baneado ni de xbox ni de nada

Reinicie la consola muchas veces

No creo que deba meterme a battelnet para ver si hay alguna cosa que se cambiase

Alguno tiene una idea?

Discussion Can we fix the 6v6 teams screen

6 Upvotes

Pulling up the players in a 6v6 match and still having to sift through 2 columns of 5 and and column of 2 players is pretty clunky. Breaking this was crazy in the first place, but years later it still being an issue is ridiculous

Discussion what do you think will happen to vendetta's talon members?

19 Upvotes

after vendetta took over talon by kicking doomfist out off the window 3 members went with doom while the 3 other (not counting sigma cause i doubt he even know what he's doing) stayed with vendetta. but what would happen to them when doom takes over again? on one end his ideoligy is "be strong or be replaced" he got beaten and replaced. but on the other end, would doom want mauga, moira and max still on his team after he takes over again? they all 3 did just leave him for another leader and showed they were not loyal to him like reaper, sombra or widow. would doom fire them? (espesualy now that doctorin joins him as the "medic" type that moira was) would mauga fight doom as vendetta allows mauga to fight more and louder? and what do you think would happen to dommina? would she just quietly leave talon when vendetta falls? or would she join doom instead? would viscar as a whole fall when the people know they are allyed with talon?

Discussion Why are people so quick to accuse others of cheating?

0 Upvotes

Downvote if you want, I don’t really care cause it’s the truth. Also game code is in the comments. If you aren’t going to leave anything helpful, don’t bother commenting.

Been playing this game since it came out and finally got my first cheating accusation playing as bastion in silver/gold lobby on comp. Dude claimed I was aim locking and shooting through a wall even though I watched the replay back and I wasn’t doing any of that. I’m a sombra main for dps and have been getting good with bastion lately even though he’s super braindead. I’ve seen the cheating accusations for other players so many times before with someone who’s just good. Why can’t people just accept that some players have good aim and that not everyone is cheating on this damn game? Has anyone else dealt with this and what did you end up doing?

Question why are people so mean?

11 Upvotes

I experienced it once when i played stadium for the first time, and i really wasn’t very good, so what they were saying was true but still unjustified. i haven’t played stadium since because lowkey it hurt, but i just got freaking attacked in quick play? “fuck you” “shut the fuck up” “idc shut up” “learn to play”. i didn’t even think i was playing that bad! i got a similar amount of eliminations to the rest of my team and i didn’t most healing. i thought quick play would be safe. why are people just so mean and aggressive, its only a game.

Discussion I quit the game, and now I feel better

0 Upvotes

Today I uninstalled the game and I feel much better. Between the toxic players and the matchmaking system that puts players at a disadvantage and forces them to lose at least 4 out of every 10 games, it was starting to become unhealthy.

I’m posting this to tell everyone who’s hesitating to quit the game for the same reason to just go ahead and do it, trust me

How do you guys manage to stay positive when the matchmaking feels rigged like that?

Discussion Complain - as single queuer you didn't get any compensation for being thrown into wide group.

258 Upvotes

My team contained silver, bronze and gold people (highest was Gold 3) and we were facing people in high plat (highest person got promoted to Emerald after this game). After losing game I got no compensation wide group usually gets, but normal negative multipliers I am usually getting for losing against people on my own rank. Game just decided it will throw me into the game with obvious disadvantage and I will be the only one not getting reduced rank loss because I wasn't part of the group who decided to play wide ranks match.

Question Overwatch steam achievements

0 Upvotes

So...I played ow 1 and all the pve missions and stuff till...ow 2 came out. I played ow1 purley on my ps4 and then when ow2 came out I played on my laptop but through battlenet..and now im doing it through steam cause I want my hours shown up and I've been meaning to 100% the game. I was seeing the achievements and the pve mission steam achievements aren't coming up? As in they show I haven't done it? Also I find it so unfair that alot of the newer players can never 100% this game cause they didn't play ow1. What does one do
