"Guys, we need to talk about tanks"
Why did they tease a bunch of stuff that's coming out in 2 months while not saying a single word about the season that starts tomorrow?
Did I miss something or do we still not know anything about Questwatch, Mischief & Magic or 5v5 mini comp season?

: Invasion, our biggest content drop yet, coming Aug 10 ✨
I've always been bothered by the disconnection between OWL and the actual game so here's a profile and team leaderboard mock-up I would love to see added.
Being able to see a team's roster or a player's team when meeting them ingame would make OWL feel a lot more connected.
It's honestly kinda impressive that no matter what game Kephrii touches he always manages to turn himself into a clown within a matter of days.
Overwatch, Valorant, CS:GO. Don't think I've ever seen anyone getting made fun of across this many communites.

Overwatch really went from a decently transparent and intuitive ranked system to the most confusing and unrewarding garbage just because some people got sad when funny number went down.
Things I want to see in Overwatch in 2020:
• MMR reset
• return of SR decay
• more tourneys like breakable barriers
• hidden profiles removed in ranked (or atleast not private by default)
• cosmetic system revamped
• Baptiste, Orisa and Mei nerfs
🙏 PLS BLIZZARD 🙏
I have absolutely nothing against Eevee but can we please stop promoting this mindset that following someone on twitter means you endorse everything they say?
So with Cloudy getting banned from OWWC for a comment that can be vaguely interpreted as racist if you are being super bad faith does that mean they will now ban 50 more players for similar and worse conduct? Saudi would only have like 2 players if admins want to be consistent
sad to announce i've been suspended and will not be able to participate in owwc
sorry to let my fans down who were looking forward to watching reinfart gameplay and also very sorry to my teammates. I did not live up to the high standards i should have and will make sure i live
Is Overwatch the only game where low ranked players try to lecture pro players on how the game works or are there other communities with the same dynamic?
I hate tweeting this because he's obviously doing it to stay relevant in the community but Kephrii reporting a diamond Ana for rage hacking heals because "you can just tell when noone's dying" might be the funniest shit I have seen all month
I honestly believe OW would be in a waaaay better state right now if they prioritized stacking over solo queue. Overwatch is a game that is meant to be played in a group. I could scrim 10 hours a day with the bois and still have fun but lose my mind after 2 games of duo queue.
OW community: Blizzard, please give us tournaments outside of the path to pro.
Blizzard: Alright, here is the breakable barriers tourney with an actual prize pool.
OW community: WOW, fuck you! The tourney is during my vacation. This is horrible
Blizzard:
I would absolutely HATE playing against better players who try to work together. In my ranked games I only want 5 uncoordinated enemies who I have never heard of while playing with 4 players that I couldn't care any less about. That's the pure overwatch experience if you ask me.
Overwatch is a game centered around teamwork yet blizzard tried their hardest to turn it into a single player game.
3rd party matchmaking got shut down, high ranked players are forced to play with 4 random people every game and path to pro gets severely neglected.
This is the equivalent of your teammate getting anti'd, you keep on healing them and then scream about them not gaining any health.
😡I hate when I have to think about enemy cooldowns while playing the video game 😡
Holy shit! Overwatch World Cup is coming back!
Team Austria roster will be sick next year!
So many players left to choose from but I think this is what it will look like:
🛡️
⚔️ Seicoe
⚔️
💉
💉
This obviously means that they plan on doing map events à la fortnite and the space ship just randomly takes off mid OWL match to reveal a horizon lunar colony rework.
@DpsDeku
I hate to break it to you but there is not a single hero out there that is less enjoyable to play with or against in ranked than widow. Any change that makes her being in the game more bearable is a good one
@theMoneyFolder
What's up with the emotional attachment to the phrase skilled labor?
My job isn't particularly "skilled labor" yet I can still excel in it and provide real value. Skilled labor just refers to whether or not you need experience/higher education to get into the job.
Ranked is such a rollercoaster right now.
One game is filled with contenders players who all communicate, tryhard and play to improve.
The next game has 3 master players who don't join vc, 2 gm moira players who were diamond last season and a ball OTP who just flames all game.
"You have to accept that we do not accept these things" might be the funniest sentence ever.
Nobody is forcing you to accept LGBTQ+, people are just making fun of you for being so insecure that you have to build your moral framework around literature from the first millennium
You have to accept and respect that we do not accept these things and we do not have to be like you. Where is the freedom of speech that you are talking about? (3\3)
Imagine Blizzard would release player icons with t2 logos. They could be sold for 5€ each where a share goes to the teams.
That way teams would have an incentive to build their fanbase, contenders gets promoted ingame and players wouldn't only have to rely on the prize pool.
I have said it before and I will say it again. There is not a single other change in the game that is as infuriating as hidden profiles. I have absolutely no idea why this feature is still a thing in ranked mode.
Instead of tweaking genji every 2 weeks now can we maybe just nerf Brig, Orisa and Sig to the ground?
I feel like a broken record at this point but Orisa should never be a meta pick especially not combined with Sigma.
Whenever I decide to rewatch BadPachimari's Clockwork video I realise how the rise of Orisa has killed creativity and fun. Double shield has gotten so oppressive that it's basically impossible to try new strats.
Please Blizzard, just hard nerf Orisa. I wanna have fun again 😔
Playing against Rein and Winston the last few days reminded me of something extremely important:
Please never make Orisa a meta pick ever again!
Her mirror matchup is the most unhealthy interaction in the entire game and forces everyone into one certain playstyle.
Who cares if genji is overtuned?
He has an extremely high skill ceiling and is entertaining to watch.
The issue is Blizzard's philosophy when it comes to balancing.
Instead of gradually tweaking something they throw multiple changes at his kit to ensure he gets playtime.
First choice would be Kephrii because I could chill miles away staring at a corner for hours while the frontlines battle it out.
Second choice would be Metro, mainly because it would be the funniest death ever to pull out your auto aim weapon just to jump off a cliff and die.
@PVPX_
You wanna talk about the game where you just walked into the enemy team over and over because I didn't want to pull a pharah in the skybox for your flashy junk play?
Make a mistake on any meta hero and nobody bats an eye.
Make a mistake on an off-meta hero and your teammates will instantly send a SWAT team to your house to forcefully get you off that hero.
How to win OWL:
Step 1: Scout the enemy teams for the upcoming week and figure out their best heroes
Step 2: Pay a ton of high SR players to spam those heroes in ranked
Step 3: Watch those heroes get banned for the next week
Step 4: EZ Wins
(LFT OWL as strategic coach)
One day when bap lamp gets a massive nerf we will all look back and ask ourselves "How was this ever okay?" just like we did with brig bash through shield, permanent ralley armor, 7 meter halt, 1500 hp simga shield or uncancellable sigma ult.
5 minutes for groceries
1 minute to the closest café
8 minutes to work
2 minutes to the cinema
3 minutes to the gym
3 minutes to the Danube
3 minutes to the closest museum
2 minutes to the tram station
15 minutes to the train station
5 minutes to bus
Prison never felt so free
So ur telling me Overwatch 2 implemented a ranked system where SR is capped, people are reaching it with the ranking factor being Overwatch 1 level boarder for 2 seasons now and Blizzard haven't said a single word about it yet?
That's some very promising stuff right there.
NA servers are so much more enjoyable than EU:
- barely any racist kids hiding behind alt accounts
- a streamer in every single game
- actual funny banter between players
- OWL players on each team during prime time
- only issue I had so far was bad mm every now and then
Yo Blizzard. Something went wrong with your patches.
For some reason I already got the SR reset that was supposed to go live next season.
Any way you guys can fix this issue?
Thank you in advance 👍
I completely understand those people who want to see Overwatch 2 fail. It's kinda like your ex who used to treat you like shit but now she's trying to come back with a new look while pretending to care about you. It might be time to forget the past and just have some fun again.
The biggest issue in this game currently is hidden profile, change my mind.
You could have a diamond support main as "gm" tank in your game and you would have no idea why you are getting rolled.
Atleast give me the ability to see who I want to avoid for the next match 😔
@GetQuakedOn
I am in the middle of carrying an Overwatch 2 game about to close it out, and my bra-less wife brings me a sandwich (not asked for) with chips as I get a Turn Punch > SUPER Turn Slam (very small) > SUPER BHOP Slam > SUPER Slam Cancel.
So how is your day going?
ok hear me out:
The final season of OW1 is played on one of the earliest full release patches including stuff like hook 1.0, coin flip, first to 3 koth and 1-100 ranking system just to add a little bit of spice to the end of an era.
Great way to reset MMR and mindset for OW2 👍
@Avast_o
Since when did 6v6 drive away players from OW1, let alone 80% of the playerbase?
The biggest issue has 100% been balancing and communication towards the last few years of the game.
Goats and double shield went untouched for way too long and nobody knew the devs plans.
Blizzard finally realised that Overwatch porn has the biggest market share out of anything related to this game.
Really looking forward to this opening ceremony 😏
Unpopular opinion:
95% of games are not lost because of certain hero picks. They are lost because of awful synergy, individual mistakes or straight up just matchmaking.
@OW_SVB
I tried to "gotcha" because I also disagree with the rest you posted in the thread. It feels like brainless spam from the enemy team because you aren't keeping track of cooldowns or the situation in general.
Tank has always been about blocking enemy CDs with your CDs
@JkAru19
I wonder which 2 EU teams decided to ban the new hitscan support that is super solid against the pharah character and has 0 synergy with the pharah character. I guess we will never know.
NA Overwatch at the beginning of 2021:
Streamer getting exposed for being racist, homophobic, manipulative, hypocritical and so on...
EU Overwatch at the beginning of 2021:
PSA for all teams who are trying to grow in the path to pro:
Give people a reason to remember you!
Even if it's just a well-designed logo or a memorable name. Nobody wants to watch a generic team with no personality. Find a way to stand out!
There are atleast 3 diamond players in every gm game.
Every 2nd player has hidden profile.
People get placed at the same rating on every role.
The meta is more stale than it has every been before.
Perfect time to announce an OD season where you can win sprays and icons :)
LFT OWL Orisa
Still with AWW YEAH but allowed to look for opportunities
t1 experience (1 scrim against LAGlads in 2019)
Same peak as ChipSa
1100+ hours playtime in Hypixel Skyblock
2 bil networth
Willing to be a substitute so I can play minecraft during scrims
RT and like please
There is nothing more depressing than going back into ranked after a scrim.
-hacker in every 2nd game
-atleast one boosted player in every match
-different hero pool than in OD, contenders and OWL
-players with 0 gamesense pressing w
-people whining about meta and off-meta
This is the first time in 2020 where I actually felt motivated to grind the game. With pull bot being gone and people flaming me for picking Orisa it finally feels amazing again to lock the horse.
What a shitty way to end the OD run...
Avatar on 0 hours sleep because he had to get his grandma to the hospital, seeding changing a day before the tournament to put us up against a contenders rejects team in round 2 and losing the last match because we lost 3 koths...
For people who actually think ball is a cheater:
Lightbringer was working on the mechanics behind hammond and how his fireball boop works. When he figured out how to potentially abuse this to 1shot any hero in the game he sent all the info to Blizzard via direct contacts. (1/4)
All I really want in life is a supported esports scene for Mario Kart. I would love to grind the shit out of this game but there is literally no reason to play it besides for fun.
After playing ranked for 8 hours straight today I have come to the conclusion:
This game needs MMR reset asap.
Atleast every 2nd game had one season 17 diamond player who randomly jumped up 1000 SR in 3 months.
Reset MMR, nerf low skill heroes and the game will be good again
So are we ever gonna get Horizon and Paris back in ranked or did Blizzard just assume that everyone forgot those 2 exist?
I can't be the only one who really liked those maps.
The Titans might have shit the bed today but
@UberShouts
surely didn't. So you all better go ahead and vote for him because this man truely deserves to win this.
Every single match he casts is a pleasure to watch!
Alright here's the deal - if I don't shit the bed on the Grand Finals, you vote for me
If I do, vote for
@MattMrX
!
Honored to be a finalist again this year!
Hero pools + no SR decay is such a stupid combo. Right now you just have to wait for the hero rotation that suits you best, grind the shit out of overwatch and then never touch the game again for the rest of the season.
One of those 2 really has to go.
@Coach_Spilo
I'll add more ideas. Remove her ult and her spear. Instead give her a barrier turning her into one of few long range focus tanks. Then you give her an ultimate that amplifies damage for teammates. Last but not least give her some crowd control to deter people from getting close
