Anyone have any luck fixing lag issues on console? I just moved and didn't change anything about my setup but now I have unplayable lag...I've tried to open some ports but no luck...

This is the only thing I don't like about the Bastion changes. It's going to take forever to kill him as Genji for example...
The good thing is that he won't have a chance against a Pharah in sentry form now because he won't be able to hit her consistently with that spread plus the fact that he can't do critical damage aymore.
So you can no longer be booped if you are ulting? Because that happened to me once and I felt bad ;_;
Finally, tired of hearing my Mercy res and then see her on the kill-feed right after.
Took them long enough.
There...got my lootboxes. Still haven't gotten the D.Va skin yet despite playing a ton. At 2,000 coins, though.
I'd kinda hate to have to use the coins since I want some emotes, but I might just have to at this point. I've spent about 20$+ so far on this event trying to get that skin, seems like I might have to spend another 20.
I've ran into so many Trump supporters in game myself. Bleck.

Please please please put quick play under the arcade banner so I don't need to grind for boxes in these utter shit game types. Not one of them is good. I'm even sick of mystery heroes because so many people suck at certain characters.

So what do people think about the bastion changes?
He just seems like soldier without burst and that's kinda meh?
Nano tank get tankier though and nano tank is already one of the best combos in the game.

I see, so not so great when playing with random people online
Welcome to the internet.
They won't because then everyone would just play quick play and not the modes meant for arcade. The loot boxes are the carrot to get people to play arcade
I'm glad someone said it. I find all of these modes stressful and just straight up unfun. Quickplay would make it so much better.
No limits, hope for defense, stack Symmetras.
Something so evil can't possibly be fun.
That usually happens after any significant patch. The Bastion mains are probably killing the servers trying to get on.

Then why even bother with them at all?
I've played 7 mystery heroes matches tonight and won only one of them. It's infuriating.
Boop isn't a targeted ability. It means stuff like Nanoboost or Zarya bubble.

Do you lose points in competitive if people on your team abandon?

It's disliked by people who misunderstand what it is. Capture the Rooster is to Overwatch what 2fort is to TF2. The flag is just a red herring. It provides some small structure for what is secretly a deathmatch mode. CTF is one of the few modes where you will rarely see Rheinhardt the sad rectangle man and get to experience goofy random 1 v 1's like a typical fps instead of the constant blobbing that takes place in the standard modes.
It's such a joy wandering around as Hanzo in ctf flicking arrows at people and looking super cute. Occasionally I'll accidentally step on the flag and cap. But I don't really care if I do or not. CTF is a much stronger place to get better at mechanics than quickplay IMO for this reason.
If you are just grinding for crates you're better off doing something with faster turnover like 3 v 3. But if you play a lot of ctf like I do and enjoy the experience the crates will come naturally. Especially, if you are a pro Hanzo like myself.
No, you only lose points from leaving, disconnecting or losing.

I won a 5v6 before. Only once but boy was it satisfying.
At what point did I say I was worried about Blizzard? I'm not asking for them to crack down on people botting for boxes. If it works for them, hey, fine. I'm curious about how they would act in case it becomes a recurring thing.
I'm actually glad they can do it on custom games, because then it means 1v1 encounters with them won't be an one sided snore chore lol

Oh, so you do lose points if someone abandons and you lose. That's what I was wondering.
That seems unfair to be honest. I had a guy quit in the first part of a three round game, and after that another person quit as well. Winning 4 vs 6 seems nigh impossible.
That's the worst. One guy leaves or disconnects and it's over. You either get a domino effect of others leaving or just get stomped. Unless you happen to have a really great team, it's generally a loss. I wish the penalty for losing with man down would be less harsh.

Why don't people just play 3v3 for the loot boxes? It's quick.

CTF needs some rule tweaks and maps that are actually designed for it, but I love it with more casual friends.

Problem with that though is that it can create a scenario where a losing team can force someone to leave so that they won't lose SR.
Ah, then I should try at night when everyone's asleep, no?

The OW team finding CTF successful to the point of keeping it a permanent mode is legitimately concerning.

It's a fun mode.

I actually like CTF, it's just that it's hard to find a random group that actually coordinates at all when playing it. Which is kinda why I want it in a mode with higher stakes.
Depends on how good you are at spacing and reading into what your team wants to do. He's pretty good in solo q since you only need basic coordination to play him, but you need really good call outs to play against him.

Did Seagull say why he was getting off? I was zoned out until he said "Sorry for ending the stream super abruptly."
CTF to me is the most fun mode in FPS games, but in Overwatch? I find it pretty darn terrible.
On one of the maps Ice Wall is really over powered if being used to capture the flag and block off the entrance. Symettra dominates this mode so insanely it becomes a consistent battle of camping and people respawning to the flag area. If someone fast grabs the flag, it's nearly impossible to catch up to them most of the time because of how small the maps are and the way certain characters in Overwatch are designed and they easily score a point.
A lot of the games are draws due to using preexisting map designs and not balancing which characters can be used or not. It becomes a painful process sometimes dealing with a Sym and a Torb in unison, and if they have a Mei as well you'll bet your high nooner she'll be freezing you around the turrets or using her ult to prevent you from gaining the flag as you die from said turrets.
From all of the time I've poured into this mode I simply don't think it's viable without a lot of changes.

If they just add it in Arcade, that might be okay, but what if they add it in Comp or QP?

Don't think it'll make it to comp in current form if it ever does.

I'm sure it'll go through a PTR for people to offer feedback - I doubt it will be in as-is.

The thing is, complaints about torb/sym reads to me like a problem that you rarely find co-ordinated teams in that mode now, because it's not like static defenses are a new thing in overwatch, and torb +sym is still a terrible combo because you basically have 2 terrible DPSs. The times where I can get a proper team push together instead of everyone farting off doing their own thing, sym and torb gets flattened so quickly it's not funny, as in it's not funny because they're still 2 fairly bad characters, with sym being just about ok nowadays.
It's harder to deal with in this mode because you have two bases essentially and in these close quarters maps they just dominate and consistently boost up defenses.
The amount of coordination required to win against these outcomes I'd say is higher than just playing Quick Play. It's a lot easier to deal with those characters in normal Overwatch.

I don't intend to. Simply lamenting that a mode like that is seen as such a success at such a rough state.
