So I see a lot of posts about bad optimisation and all that, but I'm thinking like how?

3 days ago, my current pc broke down, luckily I still had warranty to it so I send it into repairs, the shop said "will take around 2 weeks".

So then because I wanted to play overwatch, I brought our the almost 10 year old Laptop I got for my 10th birthday, which has insanely low specs for todays standards (gtx 1050ti, 7th gen intel, 8gb ram) and is fixed together with ducktape.

The game runs fine, like, totally okay.

Its not high end, its 60fps on low settings, but its a stable 60fps on a 10y/o bruised and used laptop.

It omly stutters a little on the first 2 games and takes slightlx longer to load into the first. After that its all fine and stable.

I dont wanna discredit anyones experience, but u gotta be running some highly ressource intensive process in the background to get bad stuttering and lag on a pc thats less than 8 years old.

I can’t take it anymore I only get drop frames in overwatch and it becomes unbearably
This has been going on for almost 2 months I think, is my pc getting old or is the problem from the game. my hard drive is updated and all so I’m not sure why this is happening before it only took a game or two for my frames to stabilize and now it will go on for an hour or so mind you this doesn’t happen in other games
If anyone has a solution that would be great 👍

I've played about 30 games on this map, and every time the attackers have won. I have even started picking heroes I don't really play when I'm on attack and my team still ends up winning. Why is this map still in rotation? As soon as you see which side you're on you know the outcome.

no communication needed

we spent the rest of the game chain hooking people, which i didnt know just how fun it is until now.

Yo I found a great new method for fixing bad habits fast, I ask my partner to watch me play and when I do the thing I'm not supposed to she hits me. I've never fixed bad habits this quickly before, highly recommend!

Edit: by best DPS I mean most kills least deaths but yeah damage is higher than others too

The ranking system of Overwatch is stupid. It seems to consider if a team is favored or not but ignores personal performance. Personal performance should definitely be used to punish less losers who held well the team and reward less winners who got carried and did nothing.

As it is despite always being the best dps on my team I keep losing and going down.

Don't get me wrong, I am bronze so I must suck, but I am paired with people who suck much more than me and fight against people who suck a bit less than me teammates making it an unfair match because my team keeps dying and playing poor (which I am guilty of too) against opponents who just suck less.

You know, I'm really suprised Xbox hasn't made a full on collab with their own IPs, it really does seem like a no brainer idea. I do think some ideas here could be swapped around (Fallout, Call of Duty, or Elder Scrolls Skins to name a few), and there are some series I wanted to include but couldn't think of someone to give to (Minecraft, Fable, Banjo & Kazooie). So any more ideas would be appreciated!

Anyways, here's the list of collab ideas. Starting from the left of the top row going clockwise.

• Emre as Master Chief (Halo)
• Genji as Jago (Killer Instinct)
• D.Va as The Forza Driver (Forza Motorsport/Horizon)
• Reinhardt as The T-60 Power Armor (Fallout)
• Reaper as Ghost (Call of Duty)
• Widowmaker as Joanna Dark (Perfect Dark)
• Mauga as The Doomguy/Doomslayer (DOOM)
• Jetpack Cat as Blinx (Blinx: The Time Snatcher)
• Brigitte as The Dragonborn (Elder Scrolls)
• Winston as Crash (Crash Bandicoot)
• Sombra as Emily Kaldwin (Dishonored)
• Soldier:76 as Marcus Fenix (Gears of War)

Yesterday, I was a bit impatient and booted up overwatch a little TOO early, before my other apps & background processes got to run, and ever since my FPS has just been stuttering all the way down into single digits and the most annoying stutters, barely able to play the game. I know my running overwatch earlier than my other proccesses is the issue here due to this problem happening before, but my game fixed itself in an hour

However, now my game has not fixed itself and every game I play it starts off extremely laggy and only becomes SOMEWHAT smooth once nearing the game end (I'd assume its trying to render all the abilities and such) So! I now am lost and do not know what to do to fix my game, I've tried reinstalling, verifying, reinstalling & updating my drivers, nothing fixed. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Let me know if anyone has any fixes

I've also sat in practice range & workshops for minutes thinking its just my game trying to render everything but still not fix. I am on PC with 16GB RAM, ryzen 5 3600 & rtx 3050, and I'm positive its not a system related issue due to my game running a smooth 200 fps (I have it capped on 144)

I had five consecutive games with masters and grandmasters in my games, I'M A DIAMOND, I'M ALMOST FALLING BACK TO EMERALD. Can I pls have some games with players of my rank??

I can't believe they actually made her a support, seems unnecessary, even though I like it better.

i wish you could gift skins to other people. i have so many widow and lucio skins that i don’t use because i rarely ever play them. Only time ill ever play widow is if i pull her in the mystery heroes game mode. it would be really cool if OW had a feature where you can give skins to your friends because they’d be put to good use instead of collecting dust. and so i can get rid of that horrible octopus lucio skin….

To all the roadhog mains that cried to hard because you couldn't learn the new rework. I want to say thank you for making the game not fun again

Hog is back to being the unkillable beast he was before because they reverted everything about take a breather and then trash compactor only made it worse

I really hope they nerf him next patch because it's just not fun to play if there's a roadhog, it's either he never dies or because the damage was increased on his primary I just get hook 1 shot (yes I know I can technically get away but half the time it's after I use my movement).

To me personally I never cared much about how each skins looked except for the weapons because when you're playing you're not gonna be seeing the skins

Description in image captions

Idk, just my opinion, but I believe this will fit quite well. Beware cp2077 is not a game for all ages, I've picked images that hopefully does not fall into NSFW. No blood, no overly revealing body, etc.

Edit: Idk how to create a Carousel Post/gallary post, cuz the UI changed, sorry for the long scroll. And if you are wondeirng why a character is not on here, I am just scared since the NSFW. There are alot of great characters like brick, patricia, judy, will gunner, evelyn.

Once I know I wont be banned posting them here I will add them to the list.

And why am I being downvoted? :> If you downvoted, please comment why you downvoted, I am curious, did this offend you?

I genuinely think Moira needs some kind of nerf, or at least a change to make her less forgiving. I'm not saying she's completely broken or that she automatically wins games. My problem is how much she can get away with while making relatively few mistakes.

Her entire kit feels designed around making mistakes disappear. You take a bad position? Fade. You're about to die? Fade + healing orb. Someone dives you? Fade. You get caught out? Fade. And once Fade is back, you basically get another chance to do whatever you want. The cooldown is so valuable that it can sometimes feel like Moira gets a free reset whenever you finally manage to punish her.

Her damage is another thing I find strange. I don't think her raw DPS is necessarily broken, but the fact that she can consistently deal damage without requiring the same level of mechanical precision as many other heroes can be frustrating. You can land your shots, track her correctly and actually pressure her, and she can still use Fade to completely disengage and come back a few seconds later.

Her damage doesn't even need to kill you to be valuable. She can force you to turn around, pressure low-health targets, farm ult charge and generally make your life difficult while still having one of the safest escape abilities among supports.

I also don't really understand why Moira is so good at surviving dives. Supports obviously need tools to defend themselves, but Moira sometimes feels like she has an answer to almost every situation. Winston dives her? Fade. D.Va dives her? Fade. Genji attacks her? Fade + orb. Tracer tries to pressure her? Good luck actually finishing the kill.

And that's probably my biggest issue: you often have to invest more resources into killing Moira than she has to invest into escaping. If I use an important cooldown, hit my shots and successfully catch her out of position, I don't think she should be able to reset the fight so easily.

I don't want Moira to become useless, and I don't think her damage needs to be completely removed. I'd rather see her weaknesses become more meaningful. Maybe a slightly longer Fade cooldown, less self-sustain, or some other change that makes catching her out of position actually matter.

Again, I know Moira isn't the strongest hero in the game and I'm not saying she automatically wins every matchup. I'm mainly talking about how forgiving her kit is. There are plenty of heroes where making one bad decision can get you killed immediately. With Moira, that same mistake can sometimes just mean pressing Shift and trying again a few seconds later.

I genuinely think Moira is one of the best examples of a hero with a very low mechanical barrier while still being capable of having a lot of impact when played well.

Moira doesn't necessarily need to be weaker — she needs to be less forgiving.

What do you guys think? Is her current kit fine, or does Fade give her too much freedom?

There is no reason why Ashe should have both a perk that removes her need to skillshot for dynamite and gives the the ability to 2 shot with only 1 headshot meanwhile all of Echo's perks are uh...yeaaaah

And this is super prevalent with character balance, all the characters that already overperform get perks that makes them even better and the ones that underperform get nuthin

Anran gets either a small duration buff to her DoT that does no damage or she gets what is basically required for her ult to ever be of value and Cassidy gets to double his nades AoE and make him even deadlier with virtually no drawback, D.mon just gets 40% less fuel consumed with shield up, which there's already little reason not to have up almost 24/7, and Sym gets 1 more turret that does no damage

At least give the weaker characters stronger perks to balance it out more if you insist on having this dumb smooth brain meta you've been building for years now

Im gold 1 rn 5v5 tank. At what level are people gonna stop picking flanked heros then just standing deep behind me? Im so sick of this shit. Then its "gg tank diff" or "tank is lost". Then I start just clearing the high ground (that sierra iw wrecking us from) myself as fucking ramatra and lifeweaver grips me halfway back to spawn because my team can't 4v1 a sigma...

I have LOTS to improve on, but im so sick of my team refusing to take angles or high ground.

Note: this discussion applies to the bot actively pushing the barrier, NOT when it is running back to catch up to the barriers progress (that speed caps at 1 person.)

We have recent testing by some clever members of the community: confirming on all push maps, that having more people with the pushbot moves the barrier faster. There has been a mixed response from the community.

1. It’s always been like that
2. - every other objective works like that: more = faster
3. - “I though this was common knowledge”
4. “This has been disproven many times”
5. - this is new
6. - must be a bug
7. - karq disproved it
8. devs said otherwise

*** If there are any data miners or people who can confirm how long this has been a feature for, it would be funny to know exactly who was wrong and who is right.

And on very rare occasion, there are people who say “oh that’s cool I didn’t know that,” they are chill

I've been playing Zenyatta since Overwatch 1 and my gf who has been playing Mei for less than 6 months has already surpassed me in levels.. Some of you may or may not call this a skill issue but this made me realize that the lack of abilities for Zenyatta in comparison to other heroes is surprising, which begs the question, if certain heroes are truly harder to level up.

I know people will just comment some stupid stuff like you are in the rank you are at or you've hit your peak for now get gud. BUT, for the last months or so I've started to belive that these forced losses are a real thing. I sail between 5 ranks from season to season emerald, diamond and masters. I get winning streaks anything to 8-10 and then I get loss streaks of 8-10 never getting up, just yo-yoing between those ranks. Those loss streaks cannot be real anymore and those win streaks, I think the system just tries to keep you there and forces harder games to you when you reach some point in the algorhytmn.

Edit: it has been many weeks/months since I've had games like 2 wins and 1 loss or 2 losses and 1 win. Only those big loss and win streaks, nothing else.

This role is extremely easy. I don’t play this hero nor role and I’m holding almost a 70% wr.

how come for the last 6 losses (I play tank) I have gotten negative kda dps players? It makes the game unwinnavle and it’s just not fun.

I had horrible luck with teams yesterday, took a break and first game on I get a 4/7 dps.

I started playing dps not long ago and again I’m holding almost a 70% wr and my backup hero being vendetta with almost a 65% wr.

this role is easier than anything I have ever played, like any game and any role, any hero, any character, nothing has been easier than playing dps in overwatch.

I don’t understand how so many are bad at this role.
