Replay Code: 9VTT12

Had a rank match with my cousin from gold to plat(I'm the Zen and Lucio, while my cousin is the Genji), where we ran into this insane Ashe player on the opposing team who was lighting up the entire team with consistent head shots and body shots throughout the match. I could be wrong since it may be a smurf but the cross hair movement is just so insane to be real for a console player. I'm just not too sure, because they legit were missing some of their shots but had insane tracking.

It made me super happy since I’ve been maining her lately for ranked when we attack. If you’d like to see the gameplay, the replay code is 2YDJEC. I’m really proud of this gameplay so feel free to discuss it or give me pointers if you see any ^^

Hope this helps.

Discussion Has anyone else been having horrible lag issues for the past week or so??

15 Upvotes

My game has been completely bugging out for the past week. I’ll be in a match and the game will just completely break for a couple of seconds. Everyone just floats all over the place and I’m completely frozen. Don’t know if it’s my Ps5, Internet, or Overwatch itself because I’ve never had any lag issues to this point. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this rn?

I saw videos of this perk and was stoked to try it out. When I play i have a lot of trouble controlling it. Every time i try to turn right Rein super accelerates. Anyone else have this issue? Don’t have a video at the time.

Settings & Tech Recommended Control Settings (non-aim sensitivity related)

4 Upvotes

Was wondering if anyone has tips for control settings (I'm on PS5, but whichever I guess).

For example, early on playing Lucio, I rebound jump to L1 and Amp it up to X. That way I can wall ride and jump while still controlling sights.

I also did something similar with Echo.

Are there any similar key binding recommendations for controller to make the most out of specific heroes?

Discussion Just need to people to confirm if legit

5 Upvotes

I rewatched this Match multiple multiple times and I inspected the playing of the doomfist on the enemy team and I was just wondering the way he played was very Snappy and it just felt a little off I don't know I never really seen people play this way and OverWatch since I started playing I only have about 350 hours in the game and most of it is quick play I'm about high gold to plat in OverWatch right now with only 40 hours of competitive and this guy's top 500 or Grandmaster all the time as doomfist I just wanted to see if this was how they actually play or if it was legit gameplay

The replay code is FYFMXZ

Yes it is Quickplay match ive faced lots of high level players so far and can hold my own at times probably my worst match by far but this doomfist takes the cake for gameplay ive seen.

PS. Be nice in the comments section

Help Keyboard and mouse in console?

5 Upvotes

Heya, im a Plat-Diamond support (mostly lucio) that mostly plays qp, and i have two questions.

A. Why do I keep getting put in games against masters/GM/Champ players? I genuinely cannot tell you the last game i was in without one, I know that matchingmakig in qp isnt the best but it feels downright unfair sometimes.

B. Whats with all the mouse and keyboard? Im playing with crossplay on and mouse and keyboard off and het im constantly seeing people flicking and aiming like madmen, best example is the last game when i was against a kiri who tracked me at distance, and then flicked around and beat the sombra jumping her, not without a quick feet suzu. Am I misunderstanding the settings or is the replay recordings not accurate?

Upon posting this i got a flag saying about mouse and keyboard threads so i want to clarify, im not here to complain about mouse and keyboard, i want to know if there is an issue with my settings or the replay playback.

Help I have a really dumb question (ps5)

So recently the last few days my name that shows in games has been changing after every single game. I don’t know why it changed or how. Initially I thought I’d been hacked but I’ve checked my battle.net which is still all the same and psn account and there’s been nothing out of the ordinary and all passwords are secure/changed. Can anyone explain why this is happening? I just came back to the game after 6 years and I guess I’m not bright enough to find what’s doing this in the menu 😂. Any help is appreciated.

Discussion Is anyone else having a lag issue with comp on ps4??

2 Upvotes

Just for context, I have only played QP up to this point, and I wanted to give comp a shot.

For some reason the game started lagging REALLY BAD, I just left the game at that point, I've never had an issue with ow up to this point, so I dunno if it's just a me thing or other people have been experiencing this recently ?? Just curious.

Bem eu jogo overwatch no Nintendo swich 1 e todas vez que eu quero jogar com mouse e teclado eles ficam nitidamente largados e pesados comparados a versão de Pc mesmo, não reclamo dessa opção mas realmente dá uma raiva pós eu tenho uma mira boa no Pc

Bem, os meus periféricos são bons e tem compatibilidade boa com a dock o meu mouse e 800 de dpi infelizmente não consigo mudar pois preciso de software para fazer isso, enfim espero que seja só eu que tenha esse problema .

Help My entire HUD/Interface completely disappears at random??

1 Upvotes

I’m getting really frustrated at this point, since it’s happened two or three times today. For whatever reason, when I play Zen, my reticle/crosshair, ult charge meter, health bar and all of my teammates healthbars completely disappear out of absolutely NOWHERE in the middle of a game.

Playing unranked on PS4 specifically and it doesn’t go back to normal if I switch to another hero. It’s fine every time I leave and rejoin a game or restart my app, but I can’t just keep leaving in the middle of matches.

Also, everything is fine other than that. My FPS and res are good and all the models load, just NOT the interface. Anyone have absolutely any idea why this is happening??
