Two-Way Players

For the 2019 Overwatch League season, teams and players may negotiate the right to designate the player as eligible to compete in Contenders on an affiliated team. Any player on the roster may agree to be eligible for Contenders play, but a maximum of four players may be designated as "two-way" players during each Overwatch League stage, and those players must be identified and submitted to the League Office prior to each stage.

Hey there r/Overwatch after hitting a sub-goal on Twitch I (with the help of my community) decided to try and do a Mei cosplay, and after some time I finally had the chance to do it!

*Hope this isn't bad manners* If you want to check out the cosplay or ask some questions about it, you can find me on twitch under /pmsproxy :)

Blizzard please fix these issues on console, we've had them for months

Posted: 31 Aug 2018 05:31 AM PDT

There are some minor annoying issues that have had a huge impact on console. I see posts about it everyday yet no fixes have been out

  1. No hammond low health indicator (the red borders when he's low)

  2. The LFG button is broken which has vastly reduced the number of people using it. A lot of people loved the LFG system and some say it even saved the game. On console however it came and it was gone. Now nobody uses it since its harder to access.

  3. The player options (Invite, mute, show profile etc) when you select a player are always jumbled up in a seemingly random order

I know blizzard probably does focus on console and has a schedule of doing things but its kinda silly that we've had some of these issues for months with no solution. No doubt if they were on PC they'd be solved within the next update after a post with 5k votes hit the front page.

I found a solution for the FPS drops!

Posted: 31 Aug 2018 12:25 PM PDT

I had stopped playing OW since Hammond came out because FPS drops had become a huge deal and I literally couldn't play anymore. I also saw that it was affecting a handful of people even with good PCs and no one could figure out what was happening.

So today I logged in to do the Nano Cola quest and I decided to tweak around to maybe reduce the FPS drops and I finally made it work, the game is running perfectly smooth again!!!

All I had to do was go into Options > Gameplay and I disabled 3 options: Display tips, POTG capture UI and OWL results. After I did that, the game ran smoothly like it did even before the Sym patch when drops began to happen but much smaller.

Test it out and tell me if this helps you, I'll be really happy if this makes some people be able to play again! :D

Halt should affect a swinging Hammond.

I don't understand why this doesn't already happen. It stops everyone's movement, why not Hammond?
