This is perhaps one of the weirdest bugs you've ever seen. We've all been disconnected from games before, that's nothing new; however, D.Va players have been experiencing a very unusual phenomenon that's hard to expl
"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
I have never played Overwatch . I gave Paladins a good go and almost platinumed it - the kids still care about trophies, right? - but when Overwatch took over in popularity and all my friends jumped ship to play it I just never followed. What followed was six years of my best friends complaining about how shit and toxic the game they poured thousands of hours into was . Not the best advertisement. But, everyone at TheGamer is having a blast on Overwatch 2 and I’m sick of being left out, so I got the gang together and hopped in for the first time. All I have to say is: why did no one tell me how buckwild and fun Junkrat
Patches are par for the course in gaming these days. While your live-service behemoths are always tinkering with the meta, keeping gameplay fresh, and fixing all the bugs those first two fixes cause, even the smallest single-player titles come with constant post-launch care these days. Day one patch is now the norm, and while games like Cyberpunk 2077 which launch in historically unacceptable states benefit greatly from devs now being able to fix things in the wild, it’s unlikely Cyberpunk would have launched at all if the studio knew it would be stuck with what it had. On the whole, patches offer a safety net that’s good to the industry, but it sometimes feels like they take away a game’s personal
The US Department of Justice and Acti-Blizz have been holding legal discussions regarding the Overwatch 2 abilities|https://overwatch2Tactics.Com/ 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
Overwatch is dead. Long live Overwatch 2. The sequel has already garnered more than 25 million players so we’re going to keep a close eye on what this burgeoning community gets up to. From early bugs to progression woes and players not playing the damn game properly, here’s everything of note that happened in Overwatch 2 last w
As well as missing sure shots, a bug has been discovered that lets Sombra players get inside the payload . This glitch allows you to teleport underneath and get all up inside it. You can still shoot at enemies outside but the payload acts as protective armour making you invincible. Just pop her locator on the track, wait for the payload to roll over it, and voila, push to your heart’s content. Granted, if you do this, you’ll probably end up with a
While we're all enjoying playing Overwatch 2, it seems Blizzard is still struggling with certain aspects of the game, balance primarily. Sometimes it's a particular Hero, other times it's a map, and on some occasions, it's an entire game mode. When it's not balancing issues, it's the in-game store, which either pushes you to spend real money, or doesn't give you cosmetics you've owned since 2016. The cherry on top, however, is a legal matter between Activision-Blizzard and the US Department of Just
To cap off the week, players don't seem too happy with the new maps that came along with Overwatch 2, especially those for the Push mode. Many have complained that the maps are too big for the mode , resulting in players having to walk long distances to make it back to the action after getting kil
Beyond just shooting, Junkrat’s abilities provide some handy and chaotic utility. His concussion mines can be used to blast opponents away when losing a 1v1, accelerate him to the objective quickly, or simply launch him to high ground. They’re surprisingly versatile, molding to whatever playstyle you gravitate towards. I like to pop them on bridges and in choke points, blasting enemy heroes off the map or sending them back and giving my teammates time to please come help me, I’m sca
With how Blizzard is handling these issues, Overwatch 2 players are worried that their favourite Hero will be the next to get sidelined. Plenty are already theorising on who is next in line for the temporary chopping block, with Brigitte being the common consensus . She can create an invincible shield with the help of Kiriko – a major exploit that could potentially ruin ga
Everything must be realistic, atmospheric, and other vague adjectives taken from focus groups and written on white boards. It might remain as a callback, but if it does it will be an exception to the rule. Any of these sorts of things left in by mistake tend to be taken out immediately because players having fun in their own way isn’t part of the developers’ vision. Any way you find to exploit something, even in a single-player experience where no one else is impacted, is viewed as a mistake to be fi
