@AryanCrash The greatest problem of RSS are the operators. It doesn't matter if they are goofy or not. CS and Quake are good because the outcome isn't determined by which operator you picked a la Overwatch/Valorant/Siege.

Overwatch has come changes on the Experimental Card & they reduced my girl Zarya's beam damage at low charge. From 95 DPS down to 70 DPS You can feel it, but it's not much of a problem. Zarya's still pretty good 👍

“No one is forcing you to play a **** game” I’m the one forcing myself because I genuinely have fun playing Overwatch, there’s just a couple heroes in the game that are broken

Do you have any server address that we could use to test connectivity and follow the routes that cause high latency? It is important to mention that only with WZ server is the issue, when we play Overwatch, LOL or other boring game it works fine.

@BlizzardCSEU_EN how long are yall gonna continue to ignore the problem with people from eu getting onto mse servers in overwatch

I feel like an issue with overwatch that prevents it from being a truly skill-based shooter is the sheer amount of stuns in the game. Why bother getting really good at shooting a moving target when you can just stunlock everybody in a big area and get easy kills?

Not to be super salty but I don't really know how removing a tank in Overwatch 2 and essentially encouraging OT players to swap to dps solves this problem but sure

@TheGodlyNoob Ok ok, here me out: Mccree’s Deadeye Ult from Overwatch; you activate a thing that makes you stand still for up to 3 seconds, but firing your gun at any point while it’s activated gets basically a free delete on anyone in your FOV. Broken? Yes. Fun? Also yes.

@_MLopesdaSilva @WilliamBibbiani lol sounds about right . . . as someone who's outright in IT as a profession because I so reliably stumble into whatever bugs exist, I literally had to stop playing Overwatch because it was too broken for me :(

@GOHGAMER @Treyarch Unfortunately the scan and repair issue isn’t something treyarch can fix, it’s just battle net being a dog **** launcher. I’ve been having the issue ever since I first started playing on it back in 2016 when Overwatch came out

@MastaSplinta15 @JankHank @PaulTassi I don’t like a overwatch type shooter, there’s no problem i just wouldn’t play it, if it was a hero shooter.

@OWAnonymous_ Bruh Overwatch is in a dumpster fire rn but never speak of ******* Paladins. That game is literally twice as bad when it comes to character tweaks since you have that dumbass card and currency system to make every ability broken and reduce cool downs or damage.

@Octotroph blizzard really looked at the state of overwatch and thought that one of the most pressing issues was that 0 charge zarya does too much damage

@BO3673 @defencewithac The issue with the FSG overwatch principle is that it runs contrary to the assault, suppress, reserve cycle of a fluid fight. There will come a time when all your MGs etc will be stuck at the back somewhere, unless they have organic transport like WMIKs...

@scripzure @OWAnonymous_ biggest issue with overwatch in general is the ignorance. people mostly play their one role so they don’t understand the perspectives of the other roles. it would be fine if people were willing to listen and communicate, but thats too much to ask for ig.
