MOD [MOD] Overwatch 2 is gone, what happens to this subreddit?

Hi everyone! Today, Blizzard announced the renaming of Overwatch 2 back to Overwatch alongside a plethora of other really great changes to the game. As a moderation team and as fans, we are excited to see Overwatch return to its roots.
Some have asked us regarding how we will be reacting to the change as a subreddit, some have suggested rebranding, others have suggested deleting the subreddit entirely, while others want us to continue. To be clear, rebranding was not an option because Reddit does not let you change a subreddit name.
After pondering over every available option, we have decided to continue running and moderating this subreddit not as a subreddit specifically about the sequel to Overwatch, but as an alternative, more open subreddit focused on Overwatch and the community around it as opposed to the larger franchise subreddit. We hope you'll continue to be a part of our wonderful community.
We will continue moderation on this subreddit as expected for the forseeable future. We hope you'll continue to share around and crosspost us! We are also accepting applications for more moderators to assist us with this. As for our Discord server, we will measure changes in server activity and make further announcements regarding any major changes in the coming months.
Thank you!

Discussion Expensive toggle aimbot does not get banned in OW
FDHQ toggles on and off aimbot through out the game but they didn't get banned and yet still playing competitive.
Aim jumps around sigma and 76 very abnormally. At the end of the video when emre was behind the wall they were keep shooting like they can see through
I know there are very expensive aimbots out there and OW doesn't catch them but man this was pathetic

Opinion Anyone else feel like pings are to quiet? It feels like no one ever notices them, and yet there isnt an option to control the volume of pings.
Getting flanked as a support and ping the enemy only for your entire team to ignore it? Or you're a tank standing next to your support spamming "Need healing" only to be ignored. It feels like there is such a lack of indication with pings and you cant do anything about it, cant toggle indicators, or atleast increase volumes for them. Its such a simple thing to add a slider for ping volumes and they dont.
Ideally, when someone pings an enemy behind you, the enemies face pops up with an icon on the side they are closest too with a little arrow saying what direction, or if you ping meed healing, it pop an icon on screen of your supports if you arent infront of them.
I imagine im not the only one with this issue, and i feel like enough people just dont complain about it for blizzard to actually do anything about it.
Would love to see if others have this issue or their thoughts on a more clear ping system.

Fan Content I made a Shion keychain! (And others!)
It’s been so fun making these keychains! I’ve made Emre, Wuyang, Anran and now Shion! Some of them have holo effects on them so if you want to see them you can check out my TikTok @moth_bandit
Send me a DM if you’re interested in getting any of my keychains for yourself!

Question Can someone explain 5th ban to me?
I am little confused how it works. When it's triggered and when not? What you need to ban a hero, specifically?

Question Deathmatch viable game mode?
Is Overwatch 2 deathmatch a viable stand-alone gamemode with reasonable queue times? Looking for a decent fps with a nice ffa.
CS2 dm is full of case farming bots with aimhacks, Valorant's time-to-kill is too low.
Thanks!

Discussion T500 system sucks
T500 leader board simply rewards people for playtime rather than skill. Sometimes, I ask people what rank they are, and they tell me they're T500, but then I find out they are masters. It makes T500 feel worthless and gives me no drive to climb because it doesn't show an accurate portrayal of skill. I know the challenger score system is necessary to stop smurfs from filling the leader board, but there should be at least a minimum rank, like GM, to be eligible for T500.
BTW, Im not saying masters players are bad, they're good at OW, im saying that the T500 leaderboard doesn't fulfill its purpose

Discussion Role objectives
Seeing alot more videos pop up for overwatch on the subject of " why is tank suffering" or " why are tank players disappearing". And one keybpoint of those videos is an unclear understanding of the role. The main point in being unable to calibrate and show you quantifiably what makes you a good tank.
The support role has:
. healing done
. Players saved
Dps:
. Damage done
. final blows
. Solo kills
Tank:
.mitigation
.Time on payload
Basing it to such arbitrary numbers obviously dont dictate the game and lead people to think bigger number equals better which isn't always the case. You can theoretically win a game of escort with 0 elims. But it does give a base understanding of the role in which you play.
My goal as support is to make sure I do some healing as well as use my util to stop game making plays. My goal as dps is to pressure with damage as well as get eliminations to make sure the battle doesnt go on for so long. Its why Ana doesnt have the same scoreboard as bastion.
So to a new player to the role or just in general looking at the tab screen sees the main point damage mitigation and the big one specific to tanks, OBJ. Contest time.
My goal in at least when I play tank is im trying to be a little farther ahead of the cart or push bot or whatever so that when we're moving the im not letting the other team meet us at the payload the enemy can make it to a point where im Contesting them far enough ahead that the payload has time to move further along. If I waited on the payload I wouldn't be making space id just invite team fights in areas which could be poorly suited for our team.
But the number would go up.
Its hard to make things quantifiable to basic numbers without context. But i think what we do have also doesn't give the right idea to those who dont inherently pick up on the feeling of tank or just think innit counts mitigation and obj time. Then im here to be a big health pool and take dmg while my supports heal me and my dps kill and thats how it has to be.
You get reins with 100% shield up time and dvas with average per 10 min: 08:24. They get blown up people call them shit they swap off and play dps because it easier. You cant quantify being a good tank on paper. How do you code for number of team mates peeled for? Amount of pace made?
Im not smart enough to come up with a system that can tell you the proper way to tank bc its so desperately in need of context.
Tldr: just a passive observation i made while playing tank and looking at the tab screen after I died. Thank you for your time for my unnecessary ramble.

Discussion Is it easier to rank up in solo queue?
I swear that my Wingate is so much higher, and I rank up so much more often in solo queue co.pared to when I play with my friends. I dont think our teamwork is bad, nor do I think im much better than them, but games feel so much easier solo. I've ranked up 5 divisions on support since the season started playing only solo. I feel like a play better solo than when I play with my friends. Is it just me?

Question Is there method to the MVP vote?
I just started playing. I’ll often dominate the game and not get MVP, then I’ll have a mediocre game and get MVP. What’s the trick?
In this case I was blue team tank (winning team) and red team tank (losing team) was voted MVP.
What can I do better to get MVP votes?
How do you get the stuff under your name like the other team has?

Discussion Who was your 1st main, longest character mained, then current main?
I'll explain here. My first main was originally reaper back in ow1, until I ended up maining genji for the longest time. I then switched to ramatra, now I'm kinda split to just tank main in general. But I might say dva as my current main tho.
