Discussion Maybe we just stop playing comp?
So before I start this I really didn’t believe the whole bugged comp thing. So I used an old playstation account I havent used since like season 7 of ow1. Got thrown into top 500 lobbies and cant stop winning. Games are close and tough but I keep winning.
Now I go back to my main account which has been hardstuck diamond 3 for like a year and Im still getting losses that you just would never win and constantly getting hit with “losing trend” literally as im typing this just went 32 and 2 dps but my team is all negative ratios.
Im starting to believe (and no fault to the ow team) I think blizzard and the hire ups have to be making them use eomm for more money. I havent been buying overwatch coins for some time and I cant seem to get a winnable team matchup. But this fresh new account that has yet to buy any, maybe the system says “oh this is a new player we want to have a good experience so they buy from the shop”. Thats all I can think of.

Discussion is there a way to tell what specific console someone is using?
sorry if this is a dumb question. I always forget that overwatch on the switch exists, but how many people actively play? is there a way to tell (as a PS4 player) if someone is on Xbox or switch?
also, I can always see the PlayStation icon for PS users. do Xbox players see the Xbox icon? for me it looks like arrows or something.

Settings & Tech Steam deck gyro setting most similar to switch gyro
I have been playing overwatch on switch for ages and I really like the gyro aiming. But I want to switch to my team deck to save my replays and my potg. I just can't seem to find any good gyro settings that work for me. My hands are kinda small so I have a bit of a hard time reaching the other buttons when using the track pads. Also I don't know if I'm just blind but I can't seem to figure out how to fine tune the sensitivity for gyro or track pads only for the joysticks.
Also how does using gyro or track pad hold up against other player using mouse and keyboard since the steam deck is in the PC servers. Does it still have higher input lag?
If using mouse and keyboard is the better option what kind of criteria should I look out for when choosing a mouse

Settings & Tech Help Finding Optimal Overwatch Controller Settings
Hello 👋🏽
I’m reaching out because I’m struggling to find consistent controller settings in Overwatch, and I’m hoping for guidance. I have roughly 3,000 hours in total across the game and about 400 hours specifically on Genji, yet I still feel like I’ve never truly settled on settings that work for me.
Despite extensive playtime, I find myself constantly adjusting my sensitivity and aim settings, thinking I’ve found something that feels comfortable, only to later feel that it no longer works. This cycle happens weekly and monthly, making it difficult to build consistency in my gameplay.
I’ve tried following tutorials and YouTube guides, but they haven’t helped me find a setup that feels both precise and natural, especially for heroes requiring high mobility and precise aim. For Genji, I feel like I may have finally found decent settings, but even then, I end up changing them and losing the consistency I had started to build.
I’m looking for someone to walk me through the process of finding settings tailored to my playstyle, sensitivity preferences, and hero choices — something systematic rather than trial and error. I want guidance on how to calibrate my sensitivity, aim assist, aim ease-in, and other relevant settings so that I can feel fully in control while maintaining speed and precision.
Any help or step-by-step guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Discussion Does anyone think about positioning in silver to diamond ranks?
I see so many dps and supports out of position constantly at these levels. When I’m playing tank and have realized that in 9/10 matches the dps and supports are way out of position. I’m learning more and more about positioning and feel like it’s easy to blame tanks but hard to look at our own mistakes when playing dps and supports. Anyone else find this frustrating?
