What’s a very early sign that a match is going to go bad
submitted by /u/M00ngata to r/Overwatch [link] [comments]
For example hero bans, chat activity, usernames, lobby, team comps, initial engagement, etc. My choice would probably be during 6V6 when nobody picks tank 💀

New to PC need friends and advice
submitted by /u/gitawayyahbastard to r/OverwatchUniversity [link] [comments]
HEADS UP! LONG POST! THANKS IN ADVANCE IF YOU READ AND REPLY :)
Hey guys! I’ve been a console player all my life specifically PSN, and I haven’t played SINCE LAUNCH! Life has been busy, but other than that now I have time to actually play games again! As much flack that overwatch got over the years, I don’t really listen to the toxic reviews about the game, this is truly the first shooter games I truly fell in love with, clocking in about 1000 hours of gameplay when the game came out basically.
I played DPS and healer mostly, along with tank time to time, and my peak was top 500 (playing tracer, junkrat , D.va, Roadhog, Cass, Mei, and Lucio believe it or not 😂)
Granted, this was overwatch 1, and recently I picked it up on PC and realized that I am a POTATOE with mouse and keyboard. I know practice makes key, I have good peripherals, good posture, good game sense in a way (from playing console), and good communication.
I work 9 to 5 during the weekdays and usually play for two hours a day, during the weekend I usually play for longer periods. Maybe this isn’t relevant but I’ll just add that I go to the gym as well and keep myself active, for mental clarity.
I’m aware of aim training, in-game aim training, and free coaching I’ve been watching on YouTube including Spilo, awkward, professional players, overwatch league etc —
I’ve been consistently playing PC now for about seven months and finally grasping that muscle memory on MnK, but I know if I picked up the controller NOW I would do better, but I would rather not, and just stick with the guns and get better with MnK. I’ve beat a few PVE shooters on PC, including borderlands series, and I’ve been loving the Precision of MnK and the feel, I’m just trying to work on, not trying to stress my wrist when I’m using the mouse, on top of that I play 1600 DPI with the in game sense of 3.
I played 70 hours worth of PC overwatch mostly quick play, and I transitioned to competitive (clocking in 17 hours) and I placed bronze 😂
To be honest though, I’m not mad about it at all, since I haven’t been on the game in a while, the game changed SO much since I last played and I switched to a platform where I’m still fairly new at, and I’m still getting used to playing
w/o the controller to be honest.
I’m not a toxic player, but I do get distracted by them, so I turned off the game chat and it’s been helping a lot.
The problem is, I used to play with a lot of friends, but now they play different games and moved on. Solo que has been okay, but I’d rather play with others.
I still play a lot of junkrat but I’m not trying to one trick, so I’ve been playing more Freya, Soldier, Juno, Kiriko, D.va, Ana, Zaraya, Sigma, and more
Overall, I need people to play with, I’m a chill dude with a happy life, and I’m not toxic at all when it comes to games because at the end of the day, it’s just a game, and I’m 30 years old now (crazy I started playing when I was 21 😂)
I have discord and I’d be happy to play with anyone who actually replies to this post and genuinely I want get better and improve, and most importantly have fun with no toxicity, just good vibes and good conversations!
Thanks for reading! 🍀
If my grammar/structure sucks I’m sorry I just woke up haha but hope it all makes sense! Have a great day!

Doomfist Thunder Skin
submitted by /u/General_71 to r/OverwatchLeague [link] [comments]
Is there any possibility that the Thunder Doomfist skin is ever coming back? I've only started playing OW since a few months ago and I really want the Thunder skin, but I've heard it was tied to Overwatch League which isn't around anymore. But considering there are currently OWL skins in the shop right now, does that means there is a possibility that Doomfist Thunder could return? especially after the Mythic was underwhelming, I really want a good skin I can run on my main.

I've deranked from Masters 5 to (currently) Diamond 5 in a few weeks (Tank)
submitted by /u/Ordon44 to r/OverwatchUniversity [link] [comments]
So as the title says, I was so happy that I managed to get into Masters, however, recently I started having incredibly long losing streaks (from 5 loses to even 10, I play overwatch everyday so, I see those streaks very often). I am trying my best, but everything I win, I instantly lose. I feel like the game just hates me (even though it's probably not the case) I just feel tired, I'm giving all I got, but I get no results from it. How much longer do I have to experience this?

Was I throwing in this match?
submitted by /u/RaphaelJe to r/OverwatchUniversity [link] [comments]
Replay code : ZY2SF1 Battletag : Raph
Heroes played: Rein, Sigma
Rank: Gold 4
Map: Paraiso
PC
I was annoyed at everyone falling over at the worst times, man this game... Played Rein then Sigma because I wasn't able to get close enough to get kills with Rein. Enemy tank then switched to Winston and they dove on us, I didn't switch again because I tought I wasn't doing so bad. Felt like my team mates were getting rolled again and again (me too i guess)

losing streak (coaching me)
submitted by /u/Accomplished_Ear3374 to r/OverwatchUniversity [link] [comments]
I can't climb up, but I can't climb back down either. I don't understand why I keep going down. I play Torbjorn. I can't win even though I'm not in the red, and I don't understand why my teammates are good. I don't think I dare say it's their fault; they do make good plays. But sometimes... for example, I asked a Mercy to play Pocket, but she refused, and we ended up losing just because I'm playing Torbjorn. I'm fed up with this hatred towards this character. Anyway, that was just one game among many. I can't win when I give it my all. I don't know what to do when the other DPS picks Torbjorn and their team wins. So, I'm lost and I don't know what to do in this losing streak, and I feel like the game prefers to be against me.
So what should I do? I need to get coaches.
What's the point? I'm destined to stay hard stuck, but I don't want to. It's just that I don't enjoy losing streaks every ranked game.

I need several people to help, please. I'm not laughing. Don't leave this post unanswered.

[Discussion] Mythic Weapons (and modern Mythic Skins) fail to deliver on their promise
submitted by /u/rapaznsei to r/Overwatch [link] [comments]
Mythic Weapons (and modern Mythic Skins) fail to deliver on their promise
Disclaimer: English is not my native language. While I used tools to help with formatting and grammar, these points and opinions are entirely my own based on my experience with the game.
When Mythic tier items were first introduced, the implied promise was clear. They were supposed to be the pinnacle of customization: 1. Customizable: Combining multiple aesthetic options into one slot. 2. New Effects/Sounds: Complete audio-visual overhauls. 3. Unique Animations: Changing how the hero moves or interacts.
However, the current state of Mythic Weapons contradicts this philosophy.
Part 1: The Problem with Mythic Weapons
Currently, Mythic Weapons offer: * New sound effects. * Kill-based visual effects (VFX). * A "weapon flourish" (inspect animation) intended to be spammed. * Visual effects that obscure your screen based on elimination count.
Why this design is flawed:
- Lack of Agency: You cannot customize them. If you dislike the specific color variant or a specific sound effect, you are stuck with it. Zero mix-and-match.
- Forced Features: You cannot toggle between the new sounds or the progressive effects. It's all or nothing.
- The "Progressive" Trap: Even if you enjoy the Level 4 visual effects, you only unlock them towards the end of a match. Essentially, you paid for an effect that is only visible for a fraction of your playtime.
- Role Incompatibility (Support): Elimination effects are satisfying for DPS and Tanks, but they feel out of place for Supports. Why aren't there aslo unique audio/visual cues for saving an ally, healing critical targets, or landing a cleanse? The current design ignores the core gameplay loop of support heroes.
- Lack of Immersion: The "weapon flourish" is just an animation you spam while walking back from spawn. Instead of only a "ADHD fidget spinner", why not invest in unique gameplay animations too? (Example: Concept Animations).
Verdict: Mythic Weapons do not justify the 80 Prisms price tag. Currently, they feel like a monetization strategy targeting "Whales" rather than a genuine content upgrade.
Part 2: The Decline of Mythic Skins
This brings me to a deeper issue: Mythic Skins have been degrading in quality since Genji.
You might argue, "Genji was the first one, of course it was special." But that is exactly the problem. We never received another skin that matched the sheer quality and effort put into Cyber Demon Genji.
Comparison: The "Genji Standard" vs. Modern Mythics
Feature Cyber Demon Genji (The Standard) Modern Mythics (Orisa, Hanzo, etc.) Customization Full mix-and-match (Masks, Tattoos, Weapons, Colors) Limited. Often just "Level 1 vs Level 4" or color swaps. Voice Heavily modulated, completely unique persona Often just a mild filter over standard lines Ultimates Massive visual overhaul (Dragon) + Sound Often just a recolor of the standard ultimate Animations Unique idle/menu animations (Mask opening) Standard animations with texture swaps Philosophy "Build your own Hero" "Upgrade your Hero linearly" The Downgrade Reality
Everything that followed—Junker Queen, Sigma, Kiriko—felt like a step back. * I expected Zeus Junker Queen to literally glow with lightning or turn into pure energy during her ult. * I expected Amaterasu Kiriko to perhaps change her kitsune spirit into a different creature or offer drastic geometry changes.
Instead, modern Mythics feel like "Glorified Legendary Skins". The new "level-based" system makes it even worse: customization is no longer about choice, but about upgrading to the final level.
Furthermore, if I only wanted different colors, the game is already plagued by Legendary recolors. To make matters worse, the line between tiers is blurring: many recent Legendary skins (like **Porsche D.Va or Cupid Hanzo) already feature unique sound effects and visuals. If standard Legendaries offer unique FX, Mythics need to do much more to justify their status.**
We are paying a premium currency for a tier that is supposed to transcend Legendary skins. We should not accept these downgrades as the new normal.
Does anyone else feel like the "Mythic" label has lost its meaning?

Talon Season Incoming. Talon Queen Vendetta and cool lore skins please 🙏
submitted by /u/WoodvaleKnight to r/Overwatch [link] [comments]
Feel like we gotta get a Talon themed mythic and I really hope its lore themed like the season itself seems to be. That leaves Sombra, Mauga, and Ven has contenders in the faction without mythic. Ven seems the most likely.
And dont stop there give me Talon Juggernaut Mauga and some updated drip for some of our other baddie characters like Sombra and Widow.
Also hope they push the story forward in game and do something awesome like Illari turning and getting a skin based on that. Would make everything so much cooler and more meaningful than the 89th cat girl skin or urban wear.
