I never played OW1 as much as OW2, and im just wondering how the 6v6 felt in OW1. I know that OW1 6v6 wasn't perfect and balancing and blizzard problems eventually ruined the game, but how does it compare to the 6v6 in OW2? is it the same as it was back then? What are some things better in OW1 6v6 than 6v6 in OW2? If the 6v6 we have now is worse, what do you think is the reason?

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’m a tank main in 5v5 low gm-high master and I mainly play sig, monkey and queen, I can play these three at about the same level but queen is my weakest of my mains and sig is the one I’m best at.

Problem is I’m worthless on every other tank, I can kinda play ball as I used to grind him back when was I in diamond I basically played ball only for like 2 seasons but that’s about it outside of my 3 mains, I don’t have more then 10 hours playtime on any other tanks than my mains and ball, and I was wondering how much of a difference does it make knowing how to play all tanks instead of just a few? If I learnt them all brought them all up to the same skill level how much higher in rank could I expect to go? Or is it just kinda indifferent once you can play 1 tank for each comp, poke, dive brawl?

Hi guys,

I’ve learned most of the DPS roster. I used to play Tracer confidently pre-nerfs, but now that she’s nerfed and sometimes banned, my dive options feel limited. If Sojourn is taken, that basically leaves Genji.

I’ve always hated Genji, but weirdly enough I played Psylocke in Marvel Rivals and hit GM on her. I know that doesn’t translate 1:1 to OW2 (climbing is easier there), but I’m mentioning it as background — I understand flanking, timing, and engaging fights.

My issue is that in MR I had an easy one-shot combo. On Genji, landing combos and animation cancels in Plat feels way harder. Most of the time I end up just going for regular kills instead of clean executions.

What’s really confusing me is this: Some games I’ll have low damage but a lot of final blows. In those games, I don’t get enough Blades to win fights, and it feels like I’m actively costing my team games even though I’m getting picks.

So I’m wondering:

• Is it better to learn Genji in Quick Play? I honestly feel like QP is a waste of time for learning dive heroes because no one plays properly, but I also don’t want to grief my ranked games by forcing a hero I’m not comfortable on.
• How do I know if I’m doing enough damage relative to my kills? On post-nerf Tracer, most of my kills come from cleaning up low-HP targets, and she has way more “get out of jail” tools. Genji feels much riskier — deflect is limited, and this poke-heavy meta means I get chipped constantly.
• I use VAXTA a lot, but the low TTK kills I get there don’t translate into real matches at all.

I’m also confused about difficulty. People say Tracer is the hardest hero in the game, but Genji feels way harder to me. On Tracer, if my aim is good, I get value. On Genji, I can’t tell if I’m:

• aiming badly,
• spacing incorrectly,
• or just missing shurikens because of poor positioning.

For hitscan, good movement = good aim. Is Genji the same? Should I be jumping less in 1v1s? For example, I’ll jump around trying to avoid Ana nade or return fire and end up whiffing on a scoped Ana standing still — when I probably could’ve just slowed down and clicked her.

Would setting up 1v1 workshop modes be the smartest way to improve Genji mechanics? And about his left-click poke — I understand I need to farm ult. If I’m playing with a Rein, is it correct to sit behind shield and farm M1 for Blade, or should I still be looking for angles?

Should I only be really perfecting my blades since they are for winning the fight and if im not getting value on that then i cant fall back on my mechanics in normal kills?

I’m a long time Doomfist main and I took a bit of a break from competitive for a while. A few seasons ago I got into Diamond with Doom but then didn’t play much competitive until this season. Now I’m struggling even in low platinum games. I really enjoy Doomfist and I want to play him well, but nearly every match that he’s banned and I’m forced to play Queen or Hazard or some other tank I end up performing better than in my Doom games. It’s disheartening to perform so poorly on a hero I’ve sunk so much time into and who I felt I was “good” at, at least to a certain degree.

I’ve been consistently mid diamond on support for quite a few seasons so I do know roughly how the game plays at this level, and as mentioned I perform much better on other tanks, but I want to succeed on Doom.

I think areas where I’ve been struggling are positioning and engagement timing, so the last few days I’ve been trying to be very cognizant of my team’s position before engaging, but I know I frequently still don’t get this right.

There are a couple of codes here for different representations of games. They are both losses. I’m TheZahir in both.

5EV1RA - This is a Suravasa game. I feel pretty comfortable on this map and feel fairly confident in approach angles and engagement options. It was a Doom mirror, which I was confident with in the past but recently have been a bit of a toss up for me. The match was very close and we only barely lost.

Q5WTCS - This game is on Midtown and is much less close. I often struggle on this map and in this game there was a Genji on the enemy team who was kind of free to do whatever he wanted. Neither I nor my teammates could really keep him in check. I tried not to get too distracted and instead focus on the other enemies I could better handle, but couldn’t consistently do too much to them.

Thanks for any feedback on either match. It’s much appreciated.

This is mostly for the high tier players out there, let’s say GM-Champ. Who is your main and how do you think they should be played? What should be the focus when playing them to achieve max value? How is that different than what lower rank players usually focus on or think they should be doing?

Hopefully we can get at least one response for every hero. Thanks in advance

Lucio, Bap, Moira, Zen, or Illari. or other. Just curious tbh since I like brigs playstyle and I’m a 1 trick on support. I did some research and I got mixed results mostly from those heroes. I know the whole thing between main and flex supports but this still doesn’t make sense to me.

im high gold - low plat
