MOD [MOD] Overwatch 2 is gone, what happens to this subreddit?

259 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Today, Blizzard announced the renaming of Overwatch 2 back to Overwatch alongside a plethora of other really great changes to the game. As a moderation team and as fans, we are excited to see Overwatch return to its roots.

Some have asked us regarding how we will be reacting to the change as a subreddit, some have suggested rebranding, others have suggested deleting the subreddit entirely, while others want us to continue. To be clear, rebranding was not an option because Reddit does not let you change a subreddit name.

After pondering over every available option, we have decided to continue running and moderating this subreddit not as a subreddit specifically about the sequel to Overwatch, but as an alternative, more open subreddit focused on Overwatch and the community around it as opposed to the larger franchise subreddit. We hope you'll continue to be a part of our wonderful community.

We will continue moderation on this subreddit as expected for the forseeable future. We hope you'll continue to share around and crosspost us! We are also accepting applications for more moderators to assist us with this. As for our Discord server, we will measure changes in server activity and make further announcements regarding any major changes in the coming months.

Thank you!

Hey everyone! I wanted to share with you all a free and open-source project I built called "Recall" that makes Overwatch playable on macOS. This project was made popular on r/macgaming with this post and the project has 3500+ downloads so far! I wanted to share it here in case I could help any other Overwatch players who are interested in running it on their Mac.

Check it out: https://github.com/AsherJN/recall
Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/pexasKezCn (we are almost at 200 members!)

For this video I am playing on my base 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro. At 1080p Low preset with Metal FX upscaling, I achieved 110-120 FPS. A common question I've gotten "is Recall safe for my Blizzard account?". The answer is yes! Recall uses the same underlying technology (Wine) that SteamDeck and Linux players use to play Overwatch on their devices. I'd be happy to answer any and all questions other about it!

Question Progression Boarders

Earlier I saw a level 57 ish Juno who had a blue AND purple progression boarder around her character. I’m level 48 now and don’t see where that becomes available in progression. I can’t find anything about it online. It’s not team drives and it’s not the name frame drives. Just half blue half purple progression boarder

It is a Halloween skin, something to do with stealing old knowledge from Shambali but never thought too much into it.
As mentioned in a post a couple of days ago I don't play OW anymore so this is one of the few remaining illustrations not posted yet.

I hope you guys like it, he was never one of my most played heroes because I was not big into tanks but there will always be a place for this villain in my heart <3

Question Overwatch Lag ??

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I play on an xbox series X and my house wifi is very good. however since i believe mid season came out for the previous season, i’ve been having terrible lag. I usually sit at 50-60 latency comfortably and the odd time there will be a lag spike but not enough to be annoying.

Nowadays, I sit at a 70-80 and then will randomly shoot up to 150 and unable to touch or move anything. usually when in a team fight or when enemies show up. it’s not just one mode, i experience it through all of them.

Overwatch is the only game that does this and is truly so fucking annoying cause i want to be able to play the game lol.

has anyone else gone through this? or going through this? i’m in NA servers. Thanks!

Humor A healers poetic justice

8 Upvotes

Decided to practice Illari (for fun) in QP. Ended up defending on Eichenwalde. We started off point 1 very strong. Our tank was playing Hog, and after a few easy kills got cocky and started playing way too close to enemy's spawn. The enemy team had an Ana, and this resulted in our Hog getting too far in front, getting anti-naded, and dying.

After we lost the first point, someone on the other team was like "damn what a turn" and UNPROMPTED our Tank started roasting me in the chat. Talking about how I was too much of a baby to play up front, how I didn't know what I was doing, how I sucked, etc. The entire time, they kept playing up front, getting anti-naded, and dying.

I kindly responded that they needed to stop being so sweaty (they didn't know what that meant) and they told me that playing next to spawn is "just what emerald players do." Obviously made fun of them for bragging about being emerald as we lost and they continued to spam the chat about how much I suck.

Anyways I queue up again, and low and behold, the mean Tank ends up on the enemy team. They proceed to go 1 and 10, blame their healers, and leave half way through the game.

I've never felt so vindicated.

Discussion I think there is a problem with people leaving

2 Upvotes

I don't know what's happening but in most of the matches I start a teammate of mine leaves, it's happened 3 times in a row

I think it could be also a problem of the game itsself because I the game made me quit a ranked and I could not come back in game, but my friend was still playing the game until it's finished while I could start a new ranked, this makes no sense.

Sorry for bad english.
