  • This real-life Doomfist hero stepped into a fire barefoot to save his family. Blizzard needs to see this.

    Hi everyone on Reddit, I am writing to you today not just as a passionate Overwatch player from China, but as a believer in the core soul of this game: "The world could always use more heroes." I desperately need the global community’s help to make our voices heard by Blizzard Team. Recently, the relaunch of the Chinese server reached its 10th-anniversary celebration. However, what was supposed to be a heartwarming event turned into a massive public relations disaster managed by our regional publisher, NetEase (LeiHuo). Under the guise of a "Wish-Granting" event, they rigged the grand prize—a lavish wedding at Sayram Lake on May 20th (a highly demanded date)—to benefit an internal contracted artist with close corporate ties. Planning and executing a high-season wedding at a protected nature reserve within literally minutes of a giveaway draw is like trying to build Rome in a single afternoon. It is logistically impossible and a slap in the face to every ordinary player, proving the entire event was a pre-arranged sham. But this post is not just to complain about corporate corruption. It is my plea to bring to light a real hero who represents the very best of our community. While NetEase was busy spending resources fabricating a fairytale wedding for an insider, our Chinese community was rallying around a player named "刹那抓住了未来" (Chana). Recently, a devastating fire broke out in Chana’s home. Knowing the layout and the imminent danger, he bravely guided the arriving firefighters back into the burning building barefoot, assisting them directly in rescuing his grandmother and sister. Tragically, due to his heroic actions amidst the flames and intense heat, Chana suffered horrific, life-altering burns and was left with severe disabilities. He is a dedicated Doomfist main—a hero who, in the game, fights with a strong fist, and in real life, literally stepped into the fire barefoot to save his loved ones. Our community was so moved by his heroism that we privately raised over 300,000 RMB to support his medical bills. We did this ourselves because our local publisher failed to show an ounce of human decency or care for the people who truly matter. Despite overwhelming public outrage and thousands of comments calling for justice, NetEase chose to turn a completely blind eye to Chana’s suffering. Instead of addressing the community's outcry, they issued a deeply insincere, perfunctory apology, wiped the event, and tried to sweep the entire scandal under the rug. Overwatch has a beautiful history of honoring real-life heroes. I will never forget how Blizzard commemorated Wu Hongyu in Lijiang Tower with the phrase "Heroes Never Die." I am begging my fellow global players to help us ask Team 4 to do it again. I humbly request that the Blizzard Overwatch team create a commemorative or charity skin for Doomfist to honor Chana’s bravery. Let his heroism be immortalized in the game he loves, proving to players worldwide that the Overwatch spirit is still alive, even when regional corporate greed tries to suffocate it. I understand that the Chinese server has only recently returned, and Blizzard may wish to avoid straining its relationship with NetEase. However, if the global community stands with us and amplifies this story, it might actually pressure NetEase to improve its toxic internal culture and accountability from within. If Overwatch truly is a game meant to celebrate heroes, then a player like Chana deserves that title more than anyone else. Every word stated here can be fully verified within the Chinese community. I have also left a comment directly under Game Director Aaron Keller’s recent anniversary thread on X (Twitter) to bring this to his attention. If you can, please find and support my comment there as well so the dev team can see it directly. I beg you to help upvote this post, look past the corporate narrative, and let the developers see the true, genuine voice of Chinese players. Thank you for standing with us. Let’s prove that the Overwatch spirit is still alive. Sincerely, A Passionate Overwatch Player from China (On behalf of the Chinese community)

  • ELI5 why the tactician subrole isn't just straight up bad

    I will readily admit that I am not an expert by any means but looking at the support subroles is it not just way worse than the other two?

    Healing teammates to heal yourself is awesome in the medic role

    Movement ability to heal yourself is pretty class in survivor as you just get to use your movement ability naturally when taking damage oftentimes.

    A maximum of 25% extra ult charge by not using your ult just seems way more situational than the other two and also in a game where theres (almost) always two supports having an option to self heal allows your other support to keep focus on the rest of the team?

    What am i missing and how is this not the worst subrole by far within support?

  • double nade jump with emre (super duper high)
  • Illari vs Wuyang

    Trying to learn a new support, interested in a damage focused support. Don't really enjoy playing Bap. Which would you guys suggest between the 2?

    Illari is probably easier being hitscan and more consistent at getting elims with her weapon and ult and I guess better at off angles

    But Wuyang has a bit of utility and maybe more versatile? Like his ult can be defensive but also help a teammate who's playing dive. Probably more fun than Illari. But also I'm not sure if its gonna take a long time to get used to the water orbs when I could just play Illari and be a hitscan dps.

  • One hamster, two backcaps.
  • how did i not die
  • 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
