Guys, I get it!

Seriously, does nobody on this subreddit scroll at all? I can't get this out of my home page

People will always believe they belong in a higher rank

But the truth is, we're all at the rank we're supposed to be.

Is this a bug or a feature, Blizzard?

In all seriousness, I'm at a loss for words as to what just happened to me.

Edit: If anyone wants to examine this on your own the replay code is GYNX07 Timestamped at roughly 6:00

Quick plays toxic

Why are people toxic even in quick matches? I don't play competitive at all, nor do I want to lose my temper. I play calmly and peacefully, but while I always end the match by typing "gg" in the chat, there are other people who type "tank diff" or "dps diff" or "ezzz." What's going on? Can't they finish a match without complaining about anything? It makes me angry because I play completely calmly, and if they beat me in a simple quick match, they even gloat, They don't know how to behave properly

Do people like the mystery heroes event?

I'm not going to lie I've found it an utter mess with every match being very unpleasant to play.
But at the same time I'm curious if I'm in the minority and people love this mode in general? Or do people just suffer through it for the boxes?

Lucio Ohs bowl I made in HS pottery class

The reason I put top 141 was that was my peak playing Lucio hitting top 141 mostly playing him. I wish I would’ve taken a little bit longer on the white glaze on the outside but overall I am pretty happy with how it came out.

Why do so many Mercy players not use her gun… like at all?

I’ve been playing this game since beta, and I used to main Mercy. I haven’t played her seriously in a couple of years, but I still have a little over 1,500 hours on her. She’s currently my least favorite healer to play with simply because so many Mercy players have a “do no damage” mentality.

I made it up to high masters with her at my peak, and I would whoop that thang out all the time. See someone low? Try to help get a quick pick. Alone and about to die? Might as well at least try to take someone with me. Flankers keep bullying you? Show them you have teeth and fight back. Enemy hitscan sitting still and shooting your team from the high ground? Send a whole magazine to their head (I used to kill scoped in widows like this all the time).

Whenever I play with/against a Mercy now, they’d rather try to run past you or sit still with their staff out than try to fight back and stay alive. I still float around Diamond and master rank, and 90% of Mercy’s I see end the game with 0 damage and 0 elims.

Just… why? The gun is part of your kit, why would you main/one trick a character and not fully utilize them?

Which mirror match do you think is the most contentious?

When I see a Zen on the opposite team, I feel like I must do everything in my power to assert dominance. However, I don't get that feeling when I play other characters, although sometimes when i play rein. What mirror matches do you think have the most animosity between them? I have a limited pool so I don't know how a lot of the other mirrors feel.

The upcoming Apocalypse Warrior skins look interesting

Was just skimming through the Hero Gallery with my filter set to unowned, both curious what I had left and if anything new had shown up and I saw these. Have to say, I guess this is where the anniversary budget went.

Ramattra
Reinhardt
Emre
Venture
Ana

Not characters I would expect to be getting skins again so soon. Guessing Maid Ramattra was crazy popular and we did just get Ana’s second Mythic, but when was the last time Reinhardt got anything? And Venture is a surprise. Nice to see Emre getting attention as representing the newer part of roster.

Have to see, I pretty much did a spit take when I first saw these. Stumbled upon the Venture one first and, though not a character I really play, was definitely liking what I was seeing.

What do you all think of these? Seems a little early for Halloween, so I’m curious when they’ll be coming out.

Favorite April Fools Voicelines

"You will suffer as I, Ramattra, have suffered! Your torment will outlast the stars! When the universe dwindles into dust, there you will be, still suffering as I have...suffered." ~Chef Ram

I keep thinking back to the most recent Overwatch April Fool's patch and thinking of all of the memorable lines spoken in the game. What's your favorite so far?

Hazard's Pixel Spray Has Been Fixed

For a very long time, any kills with Hazard's Ult didn't count as Downpour kills (they'd be counted as regular eliminations instead of Downpour eliminations) making his pixel spray impossible.

That's been fixed, so it's possible again. I checked all of the recent patch notes and this wasn't noted even though this was definitely a recent fix, so I'm posting this FYSA (also I just got it myself :] )

Stadium comp vs regular comp rage

So I rarely rage at games, but I’ve noticed that I tend to get more upset in stadium. Upon doing some self analyzing, I’ve realized that in stadium, so much of it is based on your build. Like my aim sucks on Ashe so I just go dynamite build and win. And it’s frustrating to lose due to someone having an insane build that I struggled to counter

In regular comp it’s very obvious when I’m doing horrible, and that it’s because of my skill/positioning/aim. And I fully admit when I’m horrible and even apologize to my team 😭

I just hate that in stadium it feels a lot less in my control

Does anyone else feel similar

Blizzard must remove the flag of Israel from Overwatch

If some of the "Z’s” included in Zarya skins were able to be removed due to the Russia/Ukraine war, then it shouldn’t be controversial to remove the flag of Israel.

Blizzard and Overwatch’s commitment to diversity is incredibly hypocritical if it allows the flag of a country that has killed more than 76’000 men, women and children. The lives lost is a severe under estimation as public infrastructure is severely crippled due to the indiscriminate bombing of the Gaza strip.

Additionally, [the Israeli Defense Force uses pink washing: A strategy in which an individual, group or organization superficially supports LGBTQ+ people and movements. This article from VICE goes more in depth as to how the IDF blackmails LGBTQ+ Palestinians.

The Global Sumud Flotilla, which is a humanitarian organization made up of people from different nationalities, ethnicities and sexual orientation, were detained in international waters by the state of Israel. The mission of the Global Sumud Flotilla is to break Israel’s embargo in the Gaza Strip to allow humanitarian aid, like food and medicine, into the besieged territory.

Just recently, the members of this flotilla were humiliated, dragged and taunted by the Minister of National Security, Ben Gvir. This official has publicly announced the following:

  1. Calling for the removal and “emigration” of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
  2. The occupation and construction of new settlements within the Gaza Strip.
  3. Opposed to humanitarian aid being let into the Gaza Strip.
  4. Joined a march that calls for a second “Nakba”: The ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from the 1948 territories and beyond. It is argued that the Nakba never ended, due to the ongoing displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank and the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
  5. Calling for the torture of all Palestinian prisoners, labeling them all as “terrorists” and publicly wishing to reduce their rights to the bare minimum. “Since I took office as Minister of National Security, one of the top goals I’ve set for myself is to worsen the conditions of terrorists in prisons, and to reduce their rights to the minimum required by law.”

These words are not reserved by the Minister of National Security, alone. Every major official in the state of Israel supports the ongoing genocide. For anyone reading this, for anyone who still has reservations that the ongoing catastrophe in the Gaza Strip is not a genocide…

  1. The United Nations recognizes the ongoing genocide.
  2. Doctors Against Genocide recognizes the ongoing genocide.
  3. Amnesty International recognizes the ongoing genocide.
  4. Human Rights Watch recognizes the ongoing genocide.
  5. Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor recognizes the ongoing genocide.
  6. Jewish Voice for Peace recognizes the ongoing genocide.

Criticism of this country is not the equivalent of antisemitism - All countries, all movements and all people are not above accountability and criticism. By using calls of antisemitism to shield yourself against criticism, you are weaponizing your own identity at the expense of millions of people and hundreds of activists. It centers the feelings of the oppressor, the one, while the lived reality of the other revolves around starvation, exposure against the elements and endless suffering.

If Blizzard is serious about its commitment to diversity, inclusivity and positivity in Overwatch, it must remove the flag of Israel.

For more resources and sources on the genocide and its incitement, please take a look at the following website: https://databasesforpalestine.org/

How many people do you think actively play Overwatch worldwide?

While Steam shows its player count, it only makes up a portion of all overwatch players, most of which use Battle net.

While there is no real public number, how many people do you think actively play overwatch when inclduing both steam and battlenets various servers?

You can have multiple icons in your tag :)

Just pick one, any, then type the name of the characters you wanna have like this :Tracer: remember to Capitalize the first letter! Doesn't matter that it doesn't appear as an icon when editing it, when you save it, it will show up, like for example mine, I have my main tank, dps, and wuyang (I just like wuyang, not supp main tho)
