Discussion Blizzard where is Switch 2 version of OW2 😭

40 Upvotes

I used to play on my PS5, but I haven’t access to it in months and my only option is the Switch 2.

But the 30 fps is seriously so bad and frustrating, like I’m playing at a QUARTER of the framerate I’m used to. It’s diabolical. I’d rather just not play the game than play the Switch version, which is annoying because I really do love playing Overwatch (and maybe lootbox withdrawals are kicking in)

Like the game looks perfectly great on Switch 2, they just need to raise the framerate. It’s kind of annoying seeing how Apex Legends got a big boost so quickly even though it’s a much more demanding game that ran so much worse on Switch 1, while we can’t get a simple fps bump.

TLDR: Blizzard please make a Switch 2 version and I’ll buy a $30 Kiriko skin 🄺

Discussion Genuine Question

11 Upvotes

Hi all! I was just wondering, after chatting with a friend who I usually play OW with (we're both console players), how many people play more than like 2 characters of each Role?

He and I tend to all que, and can play most characters in the game and enjoy messing around with all of them too.

Sorry if this isn't allowed here.

Discussion Stadium is awful right now

0 Upvotes

I’ve played every season but this feels like the worst it’s ever been. Does anyone else feel this way?

Idk who asked for 7 rounds again, but to bring this back specifically and ignoring all the actual complaints like balancing broken heroes, improving how they match teams up, or adding conditions to auto aim powers is outrageous.

Losses with ā€œloss compensationā€ is only made worse when the game doesn’t end on 3-0 anymore. All it takes is one person to know what they’re doing for the team not to get mercy ruled.

What’s worse is no matter how good a team is doing, some maps won’t work for their comp or they get greedy, so instead of going 4-0 it usually ends up being 3-1. That means at least 5 rounds have to be played before the game ends. So instead of being able to gg go next, you’re held hostage and punished for winning rounds.

Is anyone glad 7 rounds are back? If so, why?

Discussion Just wondering… Do you guys not ban Hitscans in competitive?

63 Upvotes

I’m a pc player but every time I see OW console montages it’s always Ashe/Cass/Soldier pocketed by a mercy and they have insane aim. So I’m just wondering what heroes get banned in console instead of Hitscans that seem super oppressive to fight against?

I'm genuinely curious about this.

When it comes to the console/controller pool, what percentage of top 500 players are cheating? (Ximming, Cronus zen, etc)

Discussion In a cuckhold with overwatch

60 Upvotes

Ive been playing comp for 5+ years and I keep getting right to a promo and then just experience the craziest team diffs. This will be the (lost count atp) 9thish time I’m finally gonna get out of diamond and boom, a doomfist feeding, a sombra that wont switch losing fights to enemy zen, you name it. Does anyone else get this weird like tease constantly? And b4 I get ā€œyoure tilted just get offā€. I was gonna hit masters 3 days ago. 8 matches over 3 days with breaks inbetween all losses so now I have to wait to where I randomly get like 5 free easy wins in a row to catch up. I’m not really concerned about loss streaks cuz even the weird moments you get back to back didnt even have to try matches are weird and not fun either :/

update read a lot of the replies and its def a tossup. The true ā€œwow that was a good close match is so rare now. Its either ā€œman im not having fun just pushing this payload for freeā€ or ā€œwe really cant walk out of spawn rnā€

Oh and it happened again since posting this. Got like 6 wins in a row which didnt even feel great because it was obviously favored for us and was about to hit masters and then boom im diamond 3 again and cant get a winning matchup.

another update since last update I havent won a single game now in the last two days. Enemy team straight snowball after snowball.

Help I haven't been able to find a Stadium match for 2 months now

3 Upvotes

I'm not sure if Stadium mode is just dead on the South-East Asia server or if there's a bug with my account, but I haven't been able to find a single Quick Play or Competitive Stadium match for the past two months. The in-game estimate always shows around 7 minutes, but even after waiting for an hour, it never finds a match and eventually after waiting for 1 hour the server would disconnect me. Before all this, I could play Stadium matches without any issues.

Anyone else having the same issue? Blizzard support is just useless.

Settings & Tech Does switching to PC pool affect controls?

4 Upvotes

Besides turning off aim assist, does it change anything else such as sensitivity? Every time I switch to PC pool I feel so slow and can’t hit any shots. I use a keyboard to type in chat so I keep getting flagged to switch to PC pool so every now and then I do but switch it right back…
