Add Friendly Fire

Overwatch 2 should punish bad positioning. Right now, it does not. DPS can basically do whatever they want and half the Supports are BEYOND op.

Don’t even get me started on Tank, Zarya can do absolutely whatever she wants without repercussions. It’s basically the same with Doomfist who has power block which can resist way too much damage. It should be around 75% instead.

With friendly fire, players will be punished for being out of position, like a DPS in front of a tank might get killed for not being smart, and that’s fine. So really, I think it’d be a positive change that people may not like at first, but would come to love.

Nah CSGO where you get banned rather than killing yourself after 1 mistake.

This would breed so much toxicity

“…and in other news today, the game of overwatch 2 became so toxic,the city of Irvine California had to be evacuated and turned into a superfund site. Estimates suggest the city may be habitable in 30-40 years. Evacuated peoples will be placed in tempo…”

Pretty sure when I headshot you, you just got punished for being out of position

Imagine how bad Junkrat would be. Winston would be harder to play too if there are enemies and teammates fighting close to each other. This change would create so much chaos, balance issues, and toxicity.

i can see it now teammates killing each other because of several reasons. not getting healed, being a certain hero, etc lol (kiriko witch skin :laughing:)

This is a way to alienate what is left of the tanks… SO… Blizzard that seems like a good idea to you. You like butchering tanks

They shouldn’t let your own team damage you, but they also shouldn’t make you invisible to your teams damage. You should block your teams damage if you are between them and an enemy but not take damage.

It is pretty stupid to see hog hook through his own teammates, or team members hide behind their tank and kill the enemy with random fire through the body of their own tank. It just doesn’t make sense to allow it.

They would never let you damage your own teammates but that doesn’t mean you should be able to use them as shields while still shooting through them.

So DPS are overpowered, supports are overpowered, and tanks are overpowered? What’s the problem?

The maps aren’t made for this. The game isn’t made for this. This is awful in every way.

It would be hilarious, though.

Well the simple solution is to play these heroes correctly and have your team not so close. Easy. You just have to play better.
