So is this playable on Xbox yet? I seem to just be stuck in a queue that doesn’t move.

I queued last night for nearly 30 minutes even though the queue was only 700 people, then it started playing the intro cinematic and immediately booted me saying my profile had been signed out. Lol

lol I can't be the only one but getting disconnected from a match for earning achievements is some real lame poo poo. Getting some real pavlov's response too, I Lucio ulted a full team Hanzo ult and got the "block x damage with Lucio" achievement

It's like, ping! blue box pops up

gently caress, NO

disconnect

edit - and because I'm a glutton, on lunch so I'm like "ok one quick play", someone was just talking about Winston so I'll try him out for the first time in a few years

trigger ult, jump deep into enemy team, start swinging like crazy, get anger management achievement, disconnect. Lunch is over I guess

It sucks to be locked out of a character if you just play casually. I will probably just suck it up and buy the battlepasses with new characters since there's almost no way I'm getting through the BP to that point.

If you keep all communication disabled in team based games you should stick to single player games, you don’t have the emotional maturity to handle playing with others, and the mental shrug you just did reading that since you don’t give a poo poo about other peoples’ experiences is a part of your behavioural problem.

Does anyone else find the robot push maps tough as a healer? Granted I suck but man those maps just seem to have a ton of flanking spots and when the robot zips around you have to have your head on a gd swivel.

OW2 keeps crashing on my PC for reasons I can’t figure out, so I linked my Nintendo account and I am now playing on Switch.

I didn’t realize it was possible for me to be worse at this game, but here we are. Also I can’t decide if the movement tracking on the controller is helpful or cursed.

I play on switch sometimes when I can’t play on Xbox and the joycons are sooo bad for shooters.

Which weekly challenge is just playing 10 matches? I play maybe 2-4 matches most days, although sometimes none if I’m busy.

There's the deal damage, heal and mitigate ones and then maybe play 7 matches with someone not in your top 3?

I have that last one and I’ll probably get the heal one before the weeks out. It’s just funny that I won’t even get these absolute penny shavings.

So if you're getting harassed by Sombra/Tracer/Genji these days as a support and your team is doing gently caress all about it what do you do? Switch to Brig? I find it really bad on the new maps especially the robot push ones.

Any ideas why my queues on xbox are literally 4x as long as on Switch? Same bnet account and both are cross platform enabled but if I want to play RIGHT NOW the only option is my Switch.

Bad luck or one is somehow connecting to a different region? I play on both and can’t say I’ve noticed much difference.

Finished the battle pass just now at what I'd consider was an average/casual pace to me. Really not that bad progression if you're playing the game (and enjoying it I guess, lmao). Value wise seems like it's ok tbh.

I'm at level like... 38 in the BP cause all I have time for is a few matches maybe 5 times a week. Sadly I will probably pony up for the new one to get the new hero cause it's real dicey whether I will grind enough to get them.

I discovered The Horse. The Horse does not die and is very angry. I wouldn't be surprised if there are hard counters to her but I'm just stomping around in unranked and it is glorious. She's so aggressive and her capacity to delete one 200 hp target almost no matter what is p big. Idk how to play her decently on defense but if Im on offense, am tanking, and something needs breaching I bring out The Horse and sow death and chaos.

Did 3 all role queues for my dailies and actually had one match as a tank, one as a dps, and one as support. That never happened before. I wonder if they made some changes to give people more variety?

I would love it if this was the case cause that daily challenge taunts me but I'm sick of playing nothing but support.

As someone whose posts mostly consist of bitching abut solo queue I concur that the most unfun thing you can do in this game, and probably in any video game out today and possibly in any video game created by humankind is to solo queue as support. Since dailies ask of it of you (to queue as all) just tear off that bandage quickly, get it over with then queue up as DPS and/or tank and you'll enjoy yourself 10000000% more, even if you get stomped you'd at least have the pleasure of some good gunplay and not playing healbot to the rest of the team.

I just don’t do it at all anymore. Life is too short to solo queue support
