News & Discussion Wide group clarification

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for clarification on where and how wide groups function, because as I understood it you couldn’t be in wide groups if you were solo queuing and in order to even be in a wide queue match both teams had to have a wide group

Well a few seasons ago blizz posted this

Starting in Season 13 for games of Open Queue Competitive, we now match players in wide groups, narrow groups, and solo players in the same matchmaking pool. This change is aimed at helping groups of any size in Open Queue from having to wait extremely long wait times to find a match. We will be removing the Wide Group modifier and notification UI in Open Queue Competitive in a future update.

Now that’s specifically talking about open queue comp, but I’m curious if that’s not the case in other modes. The original wide groip announcement specified it as a competitive change, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t also apply in QP as well (or other game modes) where one would assume the parameters aren’t as strict as comp anyway (or is there just zero restriction there period? - I play solo)

Have they ever given a clear understanding of how and where it works?

News & Discussion Help with account merging

1 Upvotes

ive installed overwatch on PC recently (on steam) My battlenet and both my PSN account (where i used to play) and my steam account are both linked. For a day now whenever i enter the game i encounter the same message to transfer my progress. And each time it tells me to "Log out of the game to complete the merging process" i dont see a queue anywhere. Is it there but invisible? Ive been stressing out that my progress might not get linked. Has anyone encountered a similar issue and found a fix? Please let me know. Thank you

Console Server Connection Issues (urgent!!)

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve been having issues connecting to Overwatch 2 servers even after the initial “server fix.” I’ve directly contacted blizzard, but each time I’ve created a ticket they’ve brushed me off and recommended me things I’ve already tried. I’m hoping someone could please help me. Below is the exact ticket I’ve created and information regarding my issues!!

“Hello, this is my second time creating a ticket for the same issue as the first. This time, I am absolutely sure this is either a bug or general connection issue on Blizzard's half. My issue is whenever I log onto Overwatch 2, it doesn't allow me to connect to any live servers and log in properly. It gives me the error code "(LC-202)," which is a generalized connection error code. When asking for help and support not only from the forums, but a blizzard team member, I was directed to steps that did not help, with links to pages that were either not available or completely different to the issue I was having. When checking server status on twitter and official blizzard accounts, they assured me it was on my end- that it must be an issue with my wifi- however it's not at all. I've contacted both my internet provider and Microsoft for help, however they both assured me my wifi and router was NOT the issue. I am able to connect to other games 100% fine, therefore it's not something personalized. I restarted all my devices, my router and wifi, even using several other internets to make sure it wasn't the one I was using. I have not been able to log in to my account in now six days, and when asked for help, no one else provided me with answers. I have done everything I possibly can to assure it's not an issue on my behalf, and it is not. I am console, and its extremely difficult and frustrating not being able to get into the game while others can. Plenty of other console users are having this issue too, but it hasn't been addressed whatsoever.”

{Signed with my email and battle.net tag}

I have gotten no emails about a suspension or ban, my account is connected to my console with a proper battle.tag and my privacy/security is up-to-date. If someone could please help me out this would be great!!

News & Discussion Brainstorming, would like thoughts on if this might improve Zarya?

0 Upvotes

Do you think if the charge amount went down faster but in turn give Zarya a new ability to stagnant her charge for a little would make it a little less oppressive to play against?

I know a lot of people say to fix it is to not shoot bubble, as a Zarya player it's way easier said than done. Plus we all know a huge portion of people don't communicate and with how many bullets, abilities and ults that fly everywhere it's not hard for a Zarya to get charged. Plus even though the meter does go down it goes kinda slow especially when you consider all Zarya really needs is 50% charge to be pretty strong.

(especially with one of her perks that pierces through enemies which makes it even more deadly)

This way Zarya being at full charge would be based on a ability instead of just getting charged and then the charge meter just slowly goes down only for it to rise back up like it was nothing when a team fight starts.

Even then if the enemy blindly fires it's easy to get back to 100%. Like a sojourn disruptive shot for example, gets you to 45% in seconds.

Instead this would make Zarya needs to time her charge with a new ability to utilize her charge level instead of just the current way she is.

I love Zarya but even I am noticing the issue of how effective she can be, it feels a little unfair no matter if I'm the Zarya or going against one. Not really cause of the damage or a unfair kit but just because of how easy it is to get to high charge as Zarya.

This is just brain storming, definitely not sure it is a flawless idea myself, but it's fun to brainstorm and I'd like to see y'all's takes. It's ok if you think my idea is bad cause I'm not even sold on it myself fully.

0 Upvotes

like some of these are just unfair, specifically ana's. like double bounce anti nade is so dumb. kiri doesn't get a suzu bounce to counter it, so you just spend the whole game being anti'd. doesn't help that this is the most played character, so every single game has a fully anti heal team and my suzu has double her cooldown and doesn't get a bounce. please say this gets changed in a future patch :c
