Only no limits for a few days.

In the dev blog they mention that no limits would only be active for a few days. Then they would institute hero limits. Just to clear up any confusion. It will not be 6 torb turrets for 3 week.

Looking for someone or people to play with consistently

So yeah I’m just looking for 1-3 people who play the game pretty often. I usually play solo and some new gamer friends would be really cool. I’m 19 but I don’t mind how old you are just don’t be toxic or anything 💀

Post match voting cards, UI, Music, Character Icons, Voice lines still not gonna be in OW Classic

Its kinda weird to think about after finishing a round of "Overwatch 1" you gonna watch your battle pass XP go up and booted back to the main menu looking at the latest overpriced skin of the month.
I mean yeah we get the balance back but basically its still just OW2. Not that i complain this is still amazing but knowing WoW got its classic straight dropped into the launcher for you to experience the COMPLETE classic feeling and OW is just hidden in the Arcade mode is a bit of a cheap out. I Bet even the character spawn voice lines wont change. Im just a minority voice but i do believe that classic OW was way more than just 6v6. AT THE VERY LEAST play the goddamn Winston intro and an old menu music when i boot up the game.

People that dislike 6v6

Why? I see some people against it but never giving a real reason beyond role queue times

Public Service Announcement: If you shoot the enemy supports with your gun, their HP will go down and they will die, thereby preventing them from healing the enemy team

Little known fact. A small protip for my esteemed colleauges in Quickplay.

What are the skins that you’re heavily contemplating on purchasing?

For me it’s this cotton candy Lifeweaver skin. I mean just look at it. Those blues look so good on him. At times, I forget this isn’t his default skin. I’m only hesitating because it doesn’t change the color of his flower to blue also 😭 if it did, I would’ve purchased in a heartbeat.

Account Merge Gone Wrong- Need Help

I wanted some Twitch drops and hadn’t remembered if I had my battle.net account, so I checked the website and noticed they weren’t paired. I pared both services but I also noticed my battle.net account wasn’t connected to my psn account. I went ahead and paired those as well but when I logged into the game, EVERYTHING was reset and the game is treating me like a brand new player. I tried everything, deleting the application, unlinking the services, deleted saved data on my PlayStation, but I come back and it’s still at level 0. I contacted my friends and they’re saying they don’t see my account. I can barely find much info to help guide me online either. The most I understand is if you merged in Ow1 you should be fine (which I have done because I have older Twitch drops), and if you’ve changed emails for battle.net or psn, that MIGHT be a bad thing.

Overall, I just need help with getting my account back.

Favorite Meme Comps

We only have a few days with no hero limits in the OG OW mode. What are your favorite meme comps that players NEED to try.

I am personally looking forward to 5 Mercy's 1 carry and 6x Sym shenanigans.

Wargod Ana [OC]

Wanted to drew her again Sometime i m asking myself: if the PVE wasn’t got cancel, did she could have been one of the villains ? Or having interactions with Pharah more ? I mean , a Omnic version of Ana forced to keep with her fragment of her memories , making her doubt about her cause because of them

Can it be a good plot ?

Mouse and Keyboard on Console

To begin with I want everyone to know that I am pretty new to gaming in general so maybe the question is stupid XD Also english is not my first language.

My dream is to just chill in my bedroom laying in bed with my two cats snuggled up against me while I play. In my bedroom I have access to my Xbox. But here's the problem: I learned playing on PC with mouse and keyboard and quickly realized I'm completely lost when it comes to playing with controller. So I was wondering if there is a way to play with mouse and keyboard on console. Is the game able to recognize it? I heard about ximming and that is NOT what I want to do. I would love to be put in the PC pool and obviously don’t want to profit off of aim assist. I don’t want to lose my account because I accidentally end up ximming just because I don’t have all the technical knowledge of what is possible/allowed in the game if you know what I mean.

Do you get ranked points for all placements or only your highest?

Wondering if it's worth doing all placements or just grinding my best role.

I saw this asked on a year old post but no-one answered only saying it helps game sense but I'm just looking for the actual answer.

Any good experiences with AMD Radeon 7000 series GPUs on Overwatch?

I've been looking at upgrading my GPU with Black Friday coming up and AMD seems much better value and not stingy with VRAM compared to Nvidia, but the only reviews and posts I've been able to find about Overwatch with 7000 cards are that the first 5-10 minutes are unplayable as the shader cache loads very slowly and people having random crashes.

7900XT was the card I was looking at in particular but is anyone having a good time with Overwatch on any 7000 series card?
