Bronze is not real

You can’t convince me otherwise. These people cannot be actual humans. I recognize that it’s probably my own fault that I’m still in bronze 1 but god damn I’m not exaggerating when I say every single game I have played this week my tanks were averaging sub-1000 damage and either running around like bots or just straight up afk. You know what the potg of my last game was? 3 players in my team went afk and hanzo ulted them. As in, they saw our mauga standing there brain dead and decided oh that’s what we’re doing now I guess we’re not playing the game and they just stood next to him and they all died instead of trying to push. I had a Rein that just pinned into the enemy team every fight and STOOD THERE and just fed his brains out! I’ve also seen people complain about dps moiras but here every single support no matter what hero they’re on is acting like it’s CoD deathmatch. I’m just tired of solo queueing here holy shit I hate it.

Le Sserafim’s ‘Perfect Night’ is in the running for Song of the Year in South Korea

In case you didn’t know, the song was a huge hit in SK and topped the charts for weeks. Currently fans are urging everyone to stream the song as much as possible to secure a win at the MAMA awards in November for Song of the Year.

Competition is pretty stiff this year but the girls have a real chance. Pls help stream if you can!!!

Hackers on console??

Not sure if this has been a problem or discussed lately but the other day I was playing QP solo and I was in VC muted and there was this duo that seemed pretty sweaty and hating on the other team and just before we lost one of them said sorry guys I just can’t lose to these guys and the whole match restarted on a new map but with everyone still in the lobby. Awhile ago same thing sorta happened but didn’t think of anything about it I just thought it was a bug basically. But after hearing him say that then that happening I feel like some people have mod menues to do that cause they don’t want to lose a simple QP match.

Newsflash Blizzard: Match quit penalties don't work

Just as the title states, match penalties don't work nor will they stop me from just trolling when the matchmaking system is so ridiculously fucked. Put me in fair matches or let me at least leave the dogshit ones outside of comp or I'll just throw, problem solved.

Do you endorse players with endorsement level 5?

Curious to know if anyone gives endorsements to team members or players that have already reached the max endorsement level.

I know some don’t, as they’re already at peak endorsement and to them it makes no sense. I know others who endorse anyways.

What’s your take on it?

advice for a new player?

I started playing OW a few days ago and I've been playing with widowmaker, is she a good character to play with? I've read that players hate her and that she's like horrible to play against. I play on xbox and my TV is kinda far so I like her bc of the sniper, otherwise I can't really see 😭😭 anyways what are other good characters.

also idk if this is the right subreddit to talk about this lol#

Would this annoy you?

I've been playing with a group for a few years now. We recently got a new person in our group who is new to the game who has decided to play all of my mains. Which is fine, the characters I play are fun and I can pick multiple roles as I have 2 mains for each category.

Where my issue is is they've started putting on the same exact cosmetics I have on, on their characters, as well as the same voicelines. It became pretty apparent quickly, so I switched everything around to new stuff to feel refreshed. Well, next time we played together they switched everything too.... to what I have yet again. It keeps happening. They've also decided to insta lock specific characters I like to play in certain game modes.

I feel so petty that I'm bothered by this, but it feels weird in a way. I am also neurotic so idk

Penalty while loading

I have been trying to play again recently and sometimes when I'm loading into a game, I start getting the timer for being afk in a match and before I can even load in to the game I am kicked back to the menu with a penalty for being afk to wait out. Does anyone know if that is like an issue on my end like is my pc just not loading me in fast enough or is it a game bug?

If you could meet one Overwatch hero IRL, who would it be?

For me, it would be Mercy. She seems very kind and caring, and she’s like a guardian angel. Plus, I play her character quite a bit.

It can’t just be me that prefers the original design

I feel like the one they ended up with is just so top heavy and lacks detail on the legs,

That white booster thingy on her thighs looks so much better than it just being bear

Some might say the original is too much but it makes so much sense for an astronaut and also increases the hitbox for such a mobile character that’s already hard to hit.

And the way the boosters on her back looked like wings was so creative, I feel like they just went with the basic version and idk why.

I heard someone say that they made it too revealing and I don’t necessarily agree with this but I think that they did make it less bulky and more skintight overall so that with other skins they can make it revealing and stuff, anyway I hope she gets a skin that’s more similair to the original

“New” Voiceline in the Battlepass

I noticed while looking at battlepass this season that at lvl 73 you get the “green cyborg ninja dude” voiceline and i remembered that it already used to be in the game. Is ow just reposting old stuff into the battlepass to fill it up instead of making actual new original content or has this been happening for past seasons already?

i linked a video posted of 7 years ago that shows the voiceline was already in ow1
