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

257 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!

Discussion Most delusional character subreddit, vs most level headed character subreddit?

149 Upvotes

Just saw a post on the genji subreddit that said genji should have 250 hp + 50 armor, and now im thinking, which character has the most delusional mains? From my view probably genji or jetpack cat mains.
And maybe im a little biased, cause i play a lot of freja, but i think freja players tend to be calm and understand that she is kind of hell to play against.

Edit: cant believe i forgot about mercy, i havent seen a post on there in a while, so i guess i just didnt think about that.

A lot of tank mains tend to seem pretty chill, aside from doomfist

Discussion Snoogus back again, offering free coaching!

0 Upvotes

Hi! My name is Snoogus, unless you see my tax records... and I'm offering free coaching for first sessions!

Last time I did this, I took on 21 students from Bronze all the way up to Diamond. The majority of my students hit their new peaks after just one session, where as returning sessions resulted in several ranks increased. Several students climbed into masters, one recently GM. I am so proud of everyone!

I coach aim, core fundamentals, and am closely familiar with Tank, DPS, Support, and 6v6. I like to prioritize fostering the love of Overwatch and the game itself, because I firmly believe that that is the number one predictor of success.

I myself have peaked GM4 on Dva and Doomfist, but cannot find the time to queue ranked much anymore, hence why I stopped there.

I am offering one free session (1-2 hours long) to anyone who asks, you can comment or message me directly if you want to arrange something!

I'd love to meet you!

Bug Overwatch 2 refusing to save/register ZQSD keybinds (AZERTY layout) — Troubleshooting steps already tried inside

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm running into a really stubborn keybind bug in Overwatch 2 and could use some help or visibility if anyone has experienced this. The game completely refuses to stay on ZQSD and forces it back to WASD, or just locks out the bindings entirely.

Here are the details for my setup:

  • Keyboard Model: NOVA 61 gaming.
  • Region: Europe
  • Game Version: 2.24.0.3.152850

I've already gone through a bunch of troubleshooting steps with no luck:

  1. Hero-Specific Overrides: Checked individual hero settings to make sure no conflicting overrides were locking down the "All Heroes" profile.
  2. The Unbind Trick: Tried completely unbinding the movement keys first, saving, going back in, and then attempting to assign ZQSD to force-overwrite ghost data.
  3. Config File & Read-Only Toggles: Deleted the Settings_v0.ini file in %Documents%\Overwatch\Settings to let it regenerate, and even tried manually editing the config file and setting it to Read-only. The game still bypasses or overwrites it.
  4. Permissions & Cloud Sync: Ran the game and Battle.net launcher as Administrator and temporarily disabled Battle.net cloud saves to prevent an old profile from pulling down.
  5. Language/Layout Toggles: Checked Windows input languages (AZERTY vs QWERTY mapping) to ensure Windows isn't misinterpreting the physical keys.

If anyone has run into this specific ZQSD lock bug or knows a fix I might have missed, I'd really appreciate the help

Discussion rage quitting vs. ‘why would you do this to yourself…just stop’

3 Upvotes

there’s a need for a new term. there’s "rage quitting," which happens for whatever reason…usually stupid. but sometimes there’s a match where it’s obvious it just ain’t gonna happen. i usually try to stick it out, but sometimes i just i wanna hit that eject button to try and salvage what scant hope for humanity i have left. what would be a better phrase in lieu of ‘rage quit’ in terms of "exasperatedly resigned to my fate and i don’t wanna do this to myself anymore…so i’m just gonna leave"?

Characters Help a new main zenny with hints pls

1 Upvotes

ENG
Hi everyone, I wanted to ask for help from Main Zenny for a Main Zenny beginner. I just started playing. I think I'm really lacking in the aiming and mechanics of the Zenny, but I like playing from Zenny and I REALLY want to keep playing with him. My friends think I should trade for doing much more damage with him than healing but I think this is almost one of zenny's main strengths, if anyone can help me with tips or how to improve my aim I would be grateful

PT-BR
oi gente, queria pedir ajuda de main zennys para um iniciante de main zenny, comecei a jogar agora, acho que eu to pecando muito na mira e na mecanica do zenny, mas eu gosto de jogar de zenny e quero MUITO manter jogando com ele. meus amigos acham que eu deveria trocar por dar muito mais dano com ele do que curar, mas acho que esse é quase um dos principais pontos fortes do zenny, se alguem puder me ajudar com dicas ou como melhorar minha mira eu ficarei grato

Question Is there a dps that counters Mauga

80 Upvotes

Im an emerald genji main in 5v5 and I noticed what a portion of my losses come down to. MAUGA. My team will be doing well then the enemy tank swaps mauga and its hopeless from there. I know who counters him on tank and support but I feel useless against him on dps. Is there any dps character I can swap to to both help my tank and my sanity?

Discussion i miss having a stack to play ow with

5 Upvotes

When 2 first came out I really enjoyed having a 5 stack, since then my friends have stopped playing and I always solo queue comp, Im finding it hard to enjoy the game right now when I just lose all the time and nobody comms with each other. Is it even worth continuing to play without a stack or at least a couple of friends? I find the matchmaking is still very mid
