One year ago, I predicted Passive Healing for all Hero Roles.

Being proved right feels Great!

Is overwatch 2 good?

Hey, I've been thinking about getting overwatch 2 for a while now, but the negative reviews I've constantly seen when the game released, and its rating on steam, is really putting me off, so I wanted to ask the community itself, as someone new to the series as a whole, how good is ow2, and is it worth getting it?

Ana All Mythic Skin Levels - Midnight Sun 50 mythic prisms, not receiving all levels.

I have been in contact with game masters for 2 weeks now. Always a different person. I am being told that there was a bug, the bug was fixed, but since I didn't pay more than what the base weapon is, that I was not overcharged. I purchased a bundle that said all levels. I didn't receive all levels. No matter how hard I explain this to the support, they are not helping me. Now they are telling me I can purchase the rest of the levels if I see fit.

I paid 40$ to get 50 mythic prisms to unlock the bundle, which included all levels. I was only given the base weapon. I feel as though Blizzard made a mistake in putting this bundle out because they undersold it. Now they removed the bundle and are saying, you paid what the base mythic weapon costs, you weren't wronged. Yes, I was. I gave you money for a bundle and a bug caused me not to receive all levels. I would not have added money to my account if there was no bundle. I only added the money to get the bundle because I would save money if I did it without the bundle.

I needed to vent about this. I hope more people see this that are having the same issue. I went to the forums and submitted a bug report like others have as well. I/we are being scammed in my eyes.

What do I do?

(It's been 2 weeks)

It's been a bit, how do YOU feel about Roadhog's rework?

As a Hog main I LOVE it tbh. His vape feels much more consistent being on a meter. His gun feels good. And pig pen being able to set up for one-shots still keeps his identity but not toxically overwhelm the enemy team.

Whats the point of “alt” accs?

Just sounds like a smurf acc with a lame excuse,

Is there a legitimate reason to wanting/needing an alt?

A while ago i remember a streamer said she was “gonna switch to her alt” and i was like “why?” She got very heated very quickly over that, still puzzled as to why you’d need an alt

Items randomly appearing in my account

I stopped playing overwatch a few months ago purely because I wasn't enjoying the game anyway I recently decided today I wanted to try and play again and when I was going through my heroes I noticed I've somehow received skins I didn't purchase such as a few lifeguard skins, the Cyber Dragon Hanzo skin and a few others. Is this a bug or some sort of reward program I'm unaware of?

I personally think Juno should say her hostile ultimate line in Vietnamese.

It would be a cool and simple nod to her heritage that gets overshadowed by the more obviously prominent moon stuff, and would align with the rest of the non-English speaking characters as well.

Create your own Overwatch hero in: Italy

Let’s see if you guys can create your heroes for Overwatch!

Starting off in Italy!

Name: ?

  • Age: ?
  • Alignment: ?
  • Occupation: ?
  • Affiliation: ?
  • Powers & Abilities: ?

Story: ?

If the hero is born in Italy, I'd get some inspiration from the Divine Comedy for example due to Devil May Cry. Along with anything from the Renaissance.

More posts like these to come!

I got mistakenly suspended for spam report

I just got accidentally suspended for a day without warning or silencing beforehand via a group of people spam reporting me all in one day which just flagged my account and suspended me while I was in the practice range,

I used to be endorsement level 5 without dropping any level which meant I wasn’t getting reported beforehand and was playing well between game and game and in which I wouldn’t even leave any of my games

and after I logged back on I was endorsement level 0 I’m unable to talk in team or match chat and unable to rank up to endorsement 1 despite it showing that I’m not silenced in the chat bar,

I have tried playing a few quick play games to get to endorsement level 1 but I have failed to do so because people barely use the endorsement system in overwatch ,

should I contact blizzard support on this issue so they could check if the suspension was a result of a spam report?

also can I ask them to return my account to endorsement 5?

And the reason of the suspension was: gameplay/behavioral issues which I’m sure is part of text and sabotage spam report

Looking for gaming buddies 🥹

Idk if this allowed but I play on console and I’m terrible at this game but want to find fun people to play with who love to joke around and not get mad if someone isn’t good. Preferably a female that is at least over 25 in your 30’s would be amazing (I’m 32 female)

I’m usually Mercy but I also like to play Mei and some other characters. I like to play them but not good at them lol

It baffles me that flanking actually works on people in this game so often.

Sombra when sneaking: "HA! I'M GOING INVISIBLE, THOSE GUYS WILL NEVER KNOW I'M BEING STEALTHY HERE!"

Reaper when sneaking: ker-KLUNK ker-KLUNK ker-KLUNK

Roadhog, when doing anything: extremely heavy breathing

My mercy is broken

I used to play on ps4 but then I got an Xbox series s and I can’t get her gun out anymore. I don’t know what button to press and I think I may have accidentally binded the button that was supposed to do it to another action. Can anyone help me out?

How do I get to this upper area in the Agent course?

It looks like it wants me to shield bash across the gap, but I can't make that distance no matter what I try. Am I missing some brigitte tech?

Avoid As Teammate Additions

Allow players to deprioritize general types of players.

Allow deprioritization based on endorsement level:
By default: Players of Endorsement Level Higher than 0 will be prioritized.

The higher your endorsement level, then the more players that want to play with you.

Allow players to add tags to their profiles.

Allow players to assign "brawl","dive", or "poke" to their profiles to indicate what type of play style they prefer.

Alternatively, assign the tags based on winning ten games as one of the heroes from those groups.

By default: This would be empty.

This would allow players who prefer dive/brawl/poke to be match made with teammates who also prefer those compositions.

My wife and I were playing mystery heroes last night and I just casually spawned above the map while falling. Nothing to see here.

Wait... there was never a Overwatch movie ?

I'm new to this game and before that i witnessed the impact of this franchise (Overwatch League, memes and stuff) and for some reason i always assumed that there were like at least 2 whole animated movies about the game 🤨 Am i missing something ?

Is there any other way I can get a hold of overwatch?

I got into an argument with a hacker and after the incident I lost a bunch of skins I saved up for. I tried getting a hold of them multiple times but they never get back to me
