Overwatch 2, feedback

Overwatch 2, while its launch has been more than rocky, made some good at refreshing changes to core gameplay. Personally i find it more enjoyable than before on a base gameplay level, especially with how stale the game had grown. The new heroes are fun and interesting additions to the game, and the push gamemode is fun too.

However i do have some feedback on systems that should be implemented to further improve quality of life. Crossplay, console to PC, its good that it exists, however removing aim assist on controller is horrible, and not offering true keyboard and mouse support to give the players freedom of choice is also not particularly intuitive either. So taking systems from their sister company, activision, make it so there are two matchmaking pools, controller or KB&M, and add full keyboard and mouse support to console. Like in call of duty, make it so you can only change between input methods before matchmaking and make it so you cant change input method mid match.

Next up is the store, the rate credits are earned and the battlepass. So most other iterations of battlepasses offer premium currency in the pass, so you can buy one pass, and as long as you play, you can buy every pass. This isnt the case in Overwatch 2, and its a shame considering it doesnt even take the halo infinite approach of making the passes last forever. Lots of cosmetics from Overwatch 1 are only available for premium currency now, which is a real kick in the teeth considering you could get them without premium currency before. Alongside premium currency, there are legacy credits, they could be reformatted to allow players to earn them through daily or weekly challenges, and spend 1000 of them for legacy skins, so any skin released prior to overwatch 2s release, maybe excluding events, or make event skins cost more. Finally, it would take 2 whole seasons to earn enough points for one battle pass. Easily supplemented by adding credits to the premium pass track.

Can I get aim assist on PC too, keyboard and mouse? If yes I don’t mind it on controller cause I suck at aiming and would love some help from system too.

only feedback i can give is that i will not be playing until i’ve got all my stats, and skins back. didn’t put in the money or hours playing the game to not have them when i had them on the beta

Personally native KB&M support on console should be a thing everywhere, and I agree match making sure be done purely on input method and not platform.

Dude,why you didn’t play Overwatch 1 and events so u have all of them for FREE?!All skins spreys voice lines I got for free from loot box but I spent time to earn them and also effort,it would be shame to be for free at Overwatch 2 in my own opinion and not also fair to players that have already these skins,voice lines,spreys…We all had chance to get them for free.

I had 3 games were my team leaves the match making it even harder to play. there need to be a time penalty so when you leave a match early you can’t play for x amount of time i know theres an exp redution but it doesnt matter if the people leaving the match dont care. They will care if they cant play for a few mins. This would make it where people will stop leaving and will make the game better.

Tbh, I don’t really appreciate the whole ‘battle pass’ concept they added.
Surely it ‘helps’ the devs and wont say the contrary, but I really regret the moment when you leveled up and had a chance to get something actually nice, even silver.
Even if battle pass does give rewards, it feels empty (worst when you’re finished with the battle pass and you get nothing then) and most of the newest skins and cosmetic being " Pay on the shop only"’ make the whole thing sad ;;

To be honest, i prefer that the skins are sold in the shop instead of the pass as i see the pass after every match.
The pass levelup screen rubs it in your face that you have to pay for stuff, but the shop can easily be ignored.

Along with the titles at the end though, the pass could give some free credits at least.

They should fix their competitive ranking system, it’s scuffed. Rewards you either bad teammates and loses or you play really well and still de-rank.

can you please have some consideration for people like me whos having trouble with their internet connection during mid game like why are you giving us penalty got any consideration left to your guts???

You shouldn’t play comp if you have connection issues.
Quickplay is a littlebit more lenient but will end up suspending you for a time for leaving, but you will get a season long competitive ban if you disconnect from competitive games.

Plenty of modes in the arcade that (i think) won’t penalize you for disconnecting mid game.
