This issue is rampant and completely and utterly ruining the game. What can we do about this issue to bring attention to it? Is there even anything that can be done? Petition? Comments? I'm so tired of it, the game is literally unplayable on console. The game is pretty challenging enough for me as is, but what seems like a sudden influx of cheaters is completely ruining it for me. 1/3 games for me it's at least one cheater. Everybody else will have a regular amount of damage and these mf's will have 10-15k more than everybody else. Blatantly flicking onto people and shit. Genuine lowlifes I have so much unfathomable hatred towards these pathetic people ruining this experience for all of us. If you want to use your mouse and keyboard for the love of God go play on your computer.

We decided with my duo to do placements for dmg and tank while banning Mercy every single game because we are totally sick of ashe mercy smurfing sometimes mnking poison pandemic.

It was beatiful of course but also sad and hilarious because in only 20 games we met - mercy otp who says: gg iam mercy otp and proceeded to literally just walk around as Ana and healing like 1000 dmg. Dmg player leaving with no comment after mercy got ban twice. The mercy player asking why the hell you banned mercy, random replied - maybe so you dont get boosted? Then the ashe left and match was cancelled, ashe was very low level account and mercy was private. The mercy pocketing absolutely broken hitscan meta heroes while often combined with mnking and smurfing is such a huge issue on console..

Or just me?

I have gamesir roller FYI I watched one setting video but I don’t know if the video outdated or if it’s fits overwatch
That’s aside my question is I want good settings for aim assist in overwatch to help me not play for me I tried aim assist settings before I feel like I’m not playing the game I’m a bot that not fun
And last question did I need aim assist to begin with is there something I missing to improve my aim tweak different settings or something

I could really use some tips on dealing with good widows as a sup, obviously trying to stay out of los and use cover are a must, but some points in certain maps make it quite difficult to manage that and retake point/car (such as circuit royale 2nd point on attack) if the widow is well positioned. I mostly play moira and mizuki, but also ana, kiri, illari and cat sometimes. Probably a skill issue on my part, ngl, but I would really appreciate some general tips to apply against her

I am a diamond support Juno main who is currently doing dps placements on Echo. So many of these "gold" players are doing things I started seeing close to diamond. I can get away with more shit on Juno in diamond than Echo in gold.

I know I am probably worse on Echo than Juno but the difference in the players I should be playing against is 3 ranks.

Hello everyone, I am a champion support main, and I just wanted to know how I can improvement my movement. I do strafe, but it just seems slow? I watch myself back on kill cams a lot, and although I do throw people off, I’m still fairly predictable/ easy to hit. When I see the bots move in VAXTA, like I want to be able to move like that, or even PC players, like champion sojourns are missing all their rails sometimes because some people’s movement is so good, I really wish I could do that! I know this is on controller, but even my controller friends have insane movement, so there must be a way, any tips? Any settings too? Thank you!

Everytime a s76 catches me just a bit outside cover I get tracked like crazy and die instantly. Also it's the hero I have seen most cheaters on.

Imo a hero with mobility, range, self-heal and a very good ttk without skill shots needs something turned down.

Also I notice every bad dps player turns to s76 as soon as they see they can't do anything.

For context I'm in Masters and a Illari otp.

I think the rank reset did more harm than good mixing gms with diamonds and I have never seen this amount of s76 played and cheaters/boosted people.

Hi All,

This is kinda peak but one night I was playing OW and noticed that my crouch settings had changed (I usually just pressed O rather than hold) and after a few drinks, I thought by resetting my settings on that page it would bring it back to default.

Nope I completely wiped my years worth settings for every character, so I’m at the default with everyone.

I’ve grown from bronze to masters since playing, but I’m no wiz-tech, I don’t really play many other FPS. And I don’t really, completely understand what all the settings are and what they do.

Yes I’ve watched years worth of videos, and tried different settings, but it’s been so long and I’ve solo-grinded so much that I don’t really know what they were for each character.

I’m basically asking anyone and everyone to drop their preferred settings for each character. I’m mainly an Ana/Tracer/Widow main and I’ve focused on getting them to somewhat a familiar state. But if anyone has any tips, or could explain their settings I’d be super appreciative of that.

I have watched YT and TikTok’s, asked google etc. but wanted to get opinions of the community.

I play on PS5 if that’s any help.

so i’m not having a good time playing overwatch. i had loss after loss after loss after loss after loss and this game was kinda confusing. the torb (who was afk for a bit) was blaming orisa and the soj was also afk for a bit. idk if it was my healing and game play or if the team was bad or if it was because the juno was 10/9. im asking yall to give me an outside
view of what went wrong. this game in my opinion was winnable or felt like it could be winnable.

sorry for the tv pic, my playstation app is bugging out.

Is this a common thing to happen? I just ranked platinum 3 in 6v6 and after a couple days I played again I lost one then on my second game I went up 100% can somebody explain why.

I’m seeing a lot of people end their username with “!” Is this a trend and what does it mean?

Basically what the title says. I just hit Diamond 4 for the first time, and I’ve been performing really well in my games so far. I want to take some time to really improve and make the push toward Masters, but one thing I’m a little worried about is running into cheaters. I have yet to run into any in diamond even when i get put against diamond 1 players

For the Masters players, how common are cheaters around that rank? Is it actually a noticeable problem, or does it not get that bad until you reach GM+?

i would much rather sit in diamond than play against cheaters all the time

I was a diamond 3 DPS player in the previous season, after the placement matches for this season I was placed in diamond 5, lost 2 matches in a row and dropped to emerald 1, ever since, I have been seeing so many people that are clearly playing with a mouse on console pool. Really an ungodly amount, and most of them seem to be on emerald. I hardly ever saw one in diamond before, I did see a few ones in master matches. but I have been playing against so many of them in emerald it's crazy. That makes most matches feel completely off. Every win or defeat in emerald is either my team completely obliterating the enemy team or my team getting absolutely destroyed. No regular matches whatsoever.

I am the only one experiencing that?

The frustrating thing is you tell his team to report him, even though he's blatantly cheating and they say no. Why? Why do people not want to stomp cheating out the game.

Yeah, that’s it, does a Flex player content agains a good (legit) histcan or is the aim assist console meta too dominant? I’m a PC player and my Console friend talks about hitscan like they’re Baal or somsht

Im not a console player myself but seeing clips of you just playing the game with an ugly filter on, blasting some random either metal or girly pop music always makes my day. and its usually not super impressive, hell some of them include a death in the beggining, it never fails to put a smile on my face. This is in no way a hate post im serious when I say all this.

Never change console overwatch!

I salute the healers for keepn me alive 😅

Why is the ranking system so weird? I do my rank matches to get my rank and every season, my role queue end up in gold or silver, never any higher etc. But yet when I do 6v6, I always end up in plat....What's the difference? Is it how I play or something?
