"It's a really weird direction for them to make such massive maps while removing 2 players from the match. Push doesn't appear to be designed for 5v5 at all," said one of the comments on the discussion thr

When you enter the game as a newcomer, you will see the Welcome To Overwatch challenges, which consist of three parts. Completing each part of the challenge will unlock specific game modes, and when you have completed all three, you will have unlocked all the Game Modes, other than the Competitive M

Of course, the problem is ours as much as theirs. When I was a kid I tried to move the truck to get Mew. I can’t remember where I heard it. These days though, our access to the internet and sprawling growth of online communities means myths are never formed and secrets are always shared. The Mei bug is not just a gimmick a few kids found that slowly makes its way through groups of friends, but is instantly broadcast by the biggest Overwatch accounts, leading to everyone knowing it, everyone spamming Mei, and Blizzard feeling it has to step

Does anyone actually enjoy doing daily challenges in games? I for one resent logging in to play and finding a list of chores to do. Even trivial challenges - something I would accomplish through normal play - rub me the wrong way. I don’t know what I’m more upset about: that someone invented such an anti-player progression system, or that every developer in the world took one look at it and said "Yep, that’s good enough for

The bone of contention was a soft salary cap that the company put on Overwatch League teams. While the Department of Justice was making ground, it seems that negotiations have come to a standstill. Reportedly, Activision Blizzard "refused to make certain concessions, including anti-salary cap rule changes that would last beyond the company’s impending acquisition by Microso

Patches are here to stay in gaming, and they are important for fixing huge errors, balancing live-service games, and removing online exploits being constantly abused. They also help games ship on time then get a little polish here, a little spit shine there later on. But it’s increasingly obvious that games are afraid to be imperfect, and that risks making them bor

"I made a support ticket with [Blizzard] and told them I was missing my [Widowmaker] Noire skin with proof of preorder and old pics," said one player on Reddit. "All they said was they’re working on it and to check back later. One month later, still missing." It looks like Blizzard still hasn't figured out this is

With so many flocking to the game now it’s free, the cracks are starting to show. I don’t know if we’ll see 6v6 return - at least, not in quick play and competitive - but whittling down the team size by gutting a tank has made Overwatch 2 Hero Guide|Https://Overwatch2Tactics.Com/ 2 inherently imbalanced, and no amount of hero tweaks will patch up the h

Think about how you engage with daily challenges. If they can be accomplished without any additional effort, then there’s no point in having them. But, if they make you do something you don’t want to do, then they’re having a negative impact on your experience. So either they’re nothing or they’re bad, but they’re never g

Things only got worse when players found out that they would have to grind all the way to level 55 - which is over halfway - on the Overwatch 2 Battle Pass to get access to Ramattra, much like Kiriko. Many accused Blizzard of making it so that players would need to pay for the premium pass to catch

Overwatch 2 launched with an account merging feature, which would bring along any cosmetics and leftover currency from the previous game. Unfortunately, this feature hasn't been working as intended , and some players still don't have access to skins they bought back when Overwatch launched in 2

Having one tank in Overwatch has made support a complete nightmare, and it’s made some tanks completely redundant in certain modes. I’ve been playing a lot more Mercy, finding it helpful on defense especially as I flutter from teammate to teammate, frantically keeping them alive while they fend off the enemy’s push. But all it takes to stop that is a Zarya toggling her shield, walking right through all of them, killing me, and then strutting back to safety. The lone tank is busy holding the line and the DPS are busy killing the enem

The US Department of Justice and Acti-Blizz have been holding legal discussions regarding the Overwatch League esports tournament. The main reason for these discussions is Acti-Blizz breaking antitrust rules stemming from a "competitive balance tax". The talks have reportedly broken down after Activision "refused to make certain concessio

Blizzard revealed a new Tank class Hero for Overwatch 2 called Ramattra . Giving off Indian God vibes – thanks to the slight resemblance to Shiva and with 'Ram' in his name – his backstory revealed a close relationship with Zenyatta and the Omnic people. He comes with two different forms that can be changed on the fly – the offensive Nemesis form which gives him access to powerful punches, and the defensive Omnic form that gives him a barrier to protect his team. He’ll join the roster on Decembe
