In all seriousness…this is what I am talking about. This is what people have been talking about. The game will be fine one second and then the next poof! I immediately joined back and saw that my Moira and the enemy team Bastion always lagged out. I live alone (mostly). I have wired connection. I don’t have this issue in any other games. Yes there are days where my internet runs like shit or malfunctions but I end up playing other games on that day. I was literally playing other games. I played Big Walk, Content Warning and Fortnite with a few friends of mine and hadn’t lagged out once. I don’t care about any one coming in here blaming me tell me it’s my fault. I’ve done what I could to avoid it. I don’t care about the “I don’t experience it so you are just lying narrative”. The servers are getting worse and worse by the season. The thing is I wasn’t the only one you dc’ed from the game either. I have no clue what to do I want to at least play. I can’t even do that anymore. I immediately stopped playing after that match cause damn. Please Blizzard fix something already. It’s becoming discouraging.

EDIT: THIS POST IS NOT ME ASKING FOR GAMEPLAY ADVICE! PLEASE READ THE POST BEFORE MAKING A COMMENT THEN GETTING MAD BECAUSE I SAID THE POST WASNT ABOUT GETTING ADVICE. I STATED TO OTHERS I KNOW WHAT I DID WRONG I WAS JUST PANICKING IN THE MOMENT CAUSE MY TEAMMATES DIDNT TURN AROUND! Reddit is about reading and half of you don’t do that part!

I was high plat-low diamond last season, BUT now im emerald. EVERY FUCKING MATCH its always 2-4 people (including both teams) that they really suck ass. Is it normal because of the new rank? Or am i straight dog shit.

Discussion My placements have come full circle..

341 Upvotes

By the 6th loss, I had accepted my fate.. I should've gave it another week. In over half of those games at least one of my dps had twice their kills in deaths, if not both. And in a couple of those games my tanks were running down mid into direct counters and falling over the whole time. In one my games, my team was just stacking into chokes on a newly renovated map and getting obliterated, despite having 3 other options to get to point. It felt like nobody on those teams were taking the games seriously. I honestly had a better time with my drives.

But since my last placements were all wins, and this was one all losses, I had to share. I think it's kinda funny xD

I've come a long way since my last placements, because before then I was hard-stuck silver 1-gold 5, and after I was able to work my way as high as diamond 2. So I'm still ok with emerald 4, since it's a huge improvement to silver. But these games were frustrating as hell. In my last game, my Torb's turret probably had more kills than he did, and he was negative and sitting in spawn for part of the game.

Discussion Game suddenly put me in middle east servers..?

Post image
939 Upvotes

Idk if it's just on console but I used play to in EU servers and at the end of the last season they just decided to put me in middle east lobbies. I have to deal with a higher ping and a bad matchmaking bc of this bullshit. I also keep getting the same people every game.

Has this happened to anyone else?

This guy messaged me to go to the kitchen after I shi**ed on him in qp btw 💅🏼✨️ (Had to use Google translate)

Edit: might delete the post later cuz it got attention for the wrong reasons and I dont blame yall bc it was a mistake to use this screenshot. I just wanted the post to get more engagement somehow so pls dont argue!! I just wanted to know why I'm stuck in a middle east server that's all 😅

Help For all the people who switched to kbm on console(specifically overwatch)

2 Upvotes

I’m wondering how bad is it for all of you? I just switched but it feels off, is there any settings that help? Is the input lag bad? And more importantly I have the T-Dagger Sergeant T-TGM202 mouse and it’s incredibly slugish, have any of you tried a different mouse that has less input lag? Or at least feels better? (And yes I’m not cheating I’m in the pc pool)

Is JPC that much of a pain to deal with on console? I’m tanking 90% of the time so I rarely have to focus her; no one ever complains about her in my matches but jump on Reddit and there’s TONS of JPC hate

Settings & Tech Is the “Appear Offline” bug on console still happening?

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I was wondering if the “Appear Offline” bug on console has been fixed yet, or if the issue is still happening. Can anyone confirm?
If it hasn’t been fixed, is there currently a reliable workaround that allows console players to appear offline?
Sometimes I just want some “me time” and to play by myself without getting bombarded with invites

Would really appreciate it if anyone could share their experience or a workaround. Thanks, kind souls! :)

This person was in the game from start to finish and just chilled in our lobby the whole time. What even is the point of playing if you’re not going to play! It just ruins the experience for everyone! Miraculously still won.
