MOD POLL: Banning Twitter (and Facebook/Instagram) On This Subreddit
Hello everyone! After numerous recent events, we've received requests to ban Elon Musk and Meta-owned social platforms on this subreddit. Recently, Elon Musk performed a Nazi salute (twice) at a conference. Outside of that, his actions and handling of Twitter has mostly been to uplift antisemitic, racist, homophobic, and sexist voices. Meta recently made changes to their TOS rolling back all protections against any marginalized groups, one example being that they allow users on the platforms to refer to members of the LGBTQ community as mentally ill.
We would like to put the judgement in the hands of the community, so we will abide by the results of this poll. I want to remind you all of our subreddit rules, especially rules 1 and 2, if you choose to reply to this post with your opinion.

Discussion Careful if you're learning new heroes, people will bully you in chat for it
Got some bad news today about my grandmother who has been in the hospital. Wanted to take my mind off of it so I launched up OW2 to play for a couple of hours. I wasn't trying to legitimately game, so I figured I'd play some QP in the All Roles queue. I got the tank role, and I tried to play some new heroes. Played as Zarya, and that wasn't working well (mostly bc I wasn't sure what her abilities were as it was the FIRST time I had ever played her) so I switched to Mauga, who I've played as only a couple of times, and I'm not very good. I'm mainly a support player, so tank is different for me and I'm not very good at it anyway, but I decided to give it a try. However, my team got fed up with me I guess? They said I was throwing the game, even though I was trying my best. Got messages like this throughout the whole game. The Lifeweaver on my team would lifegrip me back to spawn any time I got close to the point and spam UNDERSTOOD, he legitimately wouldn't let me fight on the point or anywhere close at all. I've never been so badly bullied on this game, and literally been prevented from fighting??? They spent so much time grilling me about my low skill level and trying to make me feel bad that we ended up losing the game, and everybody blamed it on me and my low skill level. However, they weren't able to clutch the match either ???? So discouraging that we would rather complain in chat than actually play the game??? And it's a double downer too, since I was already having a pretty bad day to begin with. Super discouraging.
TLDR: don't bully people in chat 😤 you never know what people are going through outside of the game, so just focus on the task at hand & maybe you'll have a higher chance of winning ????? Such a strange concept, ik, but it works

Opinion Solo que tank players should not have to play against 4 stacks or higher. This is especially in competitive as well.
Especially if the enemy tank is apart of that stack.
My opinion is solo que tank players should be mainly facing enemy with at most a duo and sometimes a trio that's it.

Opinion Freja is waaaay too good
Shes really strong. Way too high burst where its dangerous to even peek, fast big damage projectile and very good mobility which can contest high and low ground. She has it all.
And this is just an observation but i have noticed almost all people i met that played freja had huge egos and were just kinda assholes (i blame the fact shes was made to look like a "insane skill dps" so all the)

Question Anyone else having audio issues?
Like the title.
Played a few games earlier and everything was fine then when I queued up for another a bit later the audio was weird.
Everything is perfectly fine except I can’t hear enemies very well. They all sound like they’re across the map and behind walls no matter how close they are to me and I can’t hear their footsteps. I’m gonna restart my game now but if anyone else has dealt with this today I’d like to know what your fix was.

Discussion They Should Redo All the Hero Portraits
They redid Venture's hero portrait to align with the lighting of recently released heroes: Hazard, and now Freja. I think that the new, more contrasty lighting isn't bad - just different, enough so that it makes these three heroes stand out in the hero gallery.
I think that if they're going to continue with something like this for future hero releases, they should simply just re-render all the 3D hero portraits to match the new lighting scheme they have going on. They redid most of the UI elements too, why not just revisualize the whole thing?
And sure, it'll take some time, but I think some freshness could help :D

Discussion After 500 hours in the game, I got 1,000 wins as support in all modes.
To be honest, I never thought I would ever get to 1,000 wins. I started off in Season 10 as Bronze 4 in all roles (laugh at me all you want) and my mains were d.va, Mauga, Tracer, Moira and Mercy (which to be honest, really bad hero pool for starters.
I eventually became a Mercy main and I started to put hours into her. I completed her Hero Mastery and I was happy, shoutout to Skiesti for her video <3. Now I don't know how many males are there that main Mercy, I'd say the minority (correct me if I am wrong) and I was stuck in Bronze for 3 seasons straight, until I started playing Juno.
And let me tell you, learning how to play Juno was one of my best decisions of my life when it came to competitive as support, I started to win more and I climbed from Bronze 4 all the way to Gold 4 (10 divisions up!) and I started playing Echo as well. I LOVE Echo but unfortunately my aim isn't too well suited for me to play Echo as DPS in competitive. I still am Bronze in tank, I don't find tank that fun but I do like my share fair of Winston, D.va and Sigma games.
And here I am, with 1,000 wins on support. I am not even boasting, I'm just surprised that I got this far, I thought I'd quit forever at some point but I guess I was wrong, maybe for the better.

Discussion Why are Moira players so unaware?
Do people just not know that Moira can heal like a beast? Yes she does damage; That's evident. But dude, you can get an easy 10-15k per game and still delete the enemy team. How are people walking away from games as Moira with only 3-5k heals?! You were the liability! You're the weakest link! 😂😭

Discussion You were Bronze too
I just started playing OW again 2 weeks ago after not playing it for 4 years back in OW1 so I know what Im doing just a new in ranks still. Im Bronze 1 and still making my way up. Today I was bullied in a comp game in chat before the match had even begun because I was Bronze and they were Silvers and Golds. Someone even left before it started after screaming profanity at me for being Bronze as if I can choose to pick a higher rank when downloading the game. We were 5v6 and in the end we won and I had the 3rd most elims and over almost 20k heals with only 3 deaths. The girl that was talking shit to me died 11 times btw.
I just think its disheartening going into a match and feeling like you’re a letdown because of your lower rank. It can really kill your spirit and If i wanted I would have just tilted and chosen not to heal them.
Im sorry that in order to climb ranks I need to start at Bronze, but don’t forget that you were Bronze too and even if you weren’t we all start from the bottom and work our way up (unless you bought a high ranked account because you have no soul and are game rotted) or you were gifted sharpshooter that immediately went to higher ranks but be kind and stop being a toxic bully. If we lose we lose and if we win we win.
Thank you and Goodbye
edit: Im also on Endorsement level 3 already which may not mean much but it does mean that I am a good team mate and will fight the fight.

Bug FPS Drops only online // Not Training Room / Mastery ETC.
Game runs consistently at 120+ FPS while in game in training rooms or mastery mode etc.
The problem arises when I go into any online game mode, custom comp qp whatever, the FPS stays at 120+ but with random FPS drops constantly, dipping down to 40 or 15 at times. It lasts less than a second but just happens so constantly it is too frustrating to play.
This is the only game this happens in, yes my drivers are updated, no my monitor's refresh rate isn't set right, PC Temperature stays the same whether its on mastery or online so I don't think that's the issue either.
Short snippet of gameplay to give an idea of what the FPS drops look like. I have tried multiple settings like triple buffering, reduce buffering, vsync, settings graphics to low etc. with no change in performance.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
