A mini-map was discussed among other features for
#Overwatch2
📡
While Aaron Keller mentioned that the ally-only mini-map was unlikely, the team are talking about backfill improvements, changes to the scoreboard and ways to mitigate spawn camping.
Really gotta appreciate the devs slowly re-adding all the things they removed from OW1 ranked. Truly pushing the gaming scene forward with this remarkable strategy
Ranks may be visible again in

Competitive Play 💎
While Blizzard initially chose to hide ranks in Overwatch 2 to mitigate toxicity, Jared Neuss replied with a "👀" emoji in response to a plea to make them visible again.
Remember when the game was just tanks supports and dps, none of this passives bullshit to compensate for the fact that we are constantly down a player in matches
Huge Tank buffs coming to

The team aims to help tanks stay in the fight longer with the mid-season patch. Aaron Keller revealed some of the changes:
💥 Tank role passive now has a 25% damage reduction from headshots.
💨 Increased knockback resistance from 30%…
Self-Healing passive for all roles?!? We're back with the first Director's Take of 2024. It's the first in a series going over our values and vision for the coming year… and there's a few juicy nuggets in it. Check it out!
Obviously the screenshots of the NA guys is fucked. But imagine seeing someones discord still logged in at, going to their discord severs and searching for the hard R, taking a photo on your phone and using it to ‘expose’ them MONTHS later. This wont fix ur hairline 😭 😭

Its amazing how blizzard have been able to make everything about ow2 , except for the gameplay, worse than ow1. How do u devolve so much when u had something great to begin with, the ranked system is shit, the UI is shit, its just sad
If only this guy would flame the patch maybe blizzard would actually listen, instead hes soy pogging the fact they have killed winston by making him OP with TRUE fucking damage
IM GONN SAY IT. Several ‘big influencers’ posting pro 5v5 anti 6v6 tweets at roughly the same time. Hmmmmmm
Hmmmmmm
I vvonder vvhy
You will play the bad game and you will trick yourself into thinking it’s better than what you had before. Stockholm syndrome ass game
IM GONNA SAY IT. 6v6 in Overwatch 2 would suck!! Infinite queue times, double shield, perma dva in your face, Mauga + ram? OW scene in collegiate would die. All the setups only have 5 PCs, OW collegiate only became big bc it’s 5v5 now
Anyone who unironcally says that OW2 is better than OW1 is either a complete newgen, a ow1 diamond and below player who climbed in ow2,a paid blizzard actor, or a OW ‘Influencer’ trying to suck blizzard off for a cheque
OW1 WAS SO MUCH MORE FUN PLEASE DONT FOOL YOURSELF
If Houston mirrored we would of had the greatest OW game of all time, skill vs skill. But instead they just played to hard counter with bastion sombra bap brig. I hope they lose in a crushing 4-3 in the grand final.
Ofc im the winston guy but ive always been against buffing him, in my mind hes also been the most balanced character in the game, and his place in the meta is based on how OP other characters are. Bad sign to be buffing him, devs have fully lost touch with the original philosophy

I for one agree with Soe, shes so right. Everyone needs to accept 5v5 is just better. Q times are better, no double shield, no meta like goats. In fact the new rank system in Ow2 is way better. OW1 was actually bad compared to ow2 if u remember correctly

Well known that Pharah is super oppressive on Junkertown first, its why Yzn never played pharah on jtown cos he thinks its too unfair to the enemy team
First look at the Junkertown rework in
#Overwatch2
🇦🇺
They've added cover and blocked sightlines on the first point to make Widowmaker/Pharah less oppressive. A small health pack has been removed from second, and slight geometry changes have been made to the third.
“Omg i can actually play MT again thanks to ow2, Rein and winston actually playable again!!!” I HATE THIS THEY WERE ALWAYS PLAYABLE YOU WERE JUST SHIT AT THEM
Hello everyone, this is Jkaru's Girlfriend, ive just got onto his twitter and seen all this gay-bait posting? We have been in a relationship for over 4 years now and this is the first i've heard of his potential homosexuality. We are very happy together so please leave him alone
All heroes will be able to self-heal in
#Overwatch2
🏥
Tank and Damage heroes will inherit a toned-down version of the self-heal passive. Aiming to relieve support players and empower individual agency in Season 9.
hot take
this is the most team oriented meta since goats. each person on the team plays such a vital role on the team.
if you've been wanting to learn overwatch at a high level now is the time to do it. everything is so clear cut, you just have to do it better than red team.…
Spark went out like the Samurai of the satsuma rebellion. Refusing to give in to the cringe modern warfare (bastion) and choosing to rather die sticking to beautiful combat. People will say “oh but they are playing to win” You do not understand cos u do not have a warriors heart.
Comparing q times and the quality of the games, from a game that received 0 content for 3 years, to now when the game isnt being left to die and saying it was due to the format of 6v6 is comical.
6v6 = infinite queue times, more rng praying you have tanks willing to swap/work with each other, less individual impact, etc. in a perfect world where people actually play tank and everyone does whatever they can to win, 6v6 might be better. But that world doesn’t exist
I cant think of a team that deserves to win more than this China team, over the last years every high stake game they’ve played as been insanely fun to watch. They always put on a show and create special moments, 2nd place sadgely. I hope they stick it through for 1 more ride
Crazy when u think about how the last 3 tanks added : Queen, Ramatra, Mauga. Are all just braindead walk forward and press cds tanks. Devs just wanna remake the same tank over and over, last dive tank we got was BALL 5 fucking years ago
@Thee_Hawk
Nothing will ever come close to the level of goats , how much teamwork needed, little intricacies of cool downs defining some teams play styles. Everyone knew eachothers roles so flexing in ranked was actually fun and competitive. Will never have anything like goats again sadgely
Shills treating the devs like some sorta saviours when it was them who left ow1 to die for 3 years, AND IT WAS STILL MORE FUN THAN OW2 XD
Also remember when the devs listened to pro feedback, uhhh yeah NEVER 👎🏻
Just admit ur on the payroll its more honourable than deception
@Coach_Spilo
People love to complain but then give 0 productive feedback. OW is never going to be perfect and will always be imbalanced in one way or another
They brought OW back from the dark ages of late OW1 when the game was truly awful
Let them cook, if they're wrong they'll fix it
With this it is well and truly over. OW was fun and I had good times, gonna focus my life on becoming a Jungian psychologist and finding a boyfriend GG
More proof for how the ow2 ranked system is so bad, even discussing peaks is so dumb. Someone who peaked pisslow in ow1 can say “im top 50 peak” in ow2 now, or Rank 1 peak ow2 could be equivalent of 4590 in ow1 etc. Amount of ego inflating liars this systems will/has created
Dear mr oomf whos too good to like my tweets
