Friendly fire on

I know this is an utterly stupid idea, but imagine if everything had friendly fire, ok some exceptions apply like you can shoot through your own barrier, Soundbarrier, Inspiration and co only hits your team and so on

Even heals can hit the enemy, ults can hit your own team
I wonder how the game would be played.
You messed up DVa Bomb? Whoops
Rein is swinging his hammer and is wrecking his team too?

I’d like this for a funny mode, April Fool’s next year?

Though you know it’d be ruined by deliberate TKers in short order, sadly.

So cutting the Support to only Ana and Juno, because any AoE healing would heal the enemy, and DPS focused supports would hurt your team. Poor Brig cant use her flail anymore without teammates complaining. Sounds like a bad idea.

ooooh!

they should totally do this for one of their experimental modes.

many shooters have a ‘hard-core’ mode with friendly fire turned on.

overwatch is too chaotic to have it be a regular thing, but it’d be funny and fun for a week or two.

a genji in front of you spamming i need healing? ‘dink, dink.’

Nope, I am just quite resistant.

Yeah it would be absolute catastrophe, I would enjoy

Very, very bad idea. The only species known to mankind who would enjoy this is: :troll:
It will be the biggest nuclear explosion times 10 of toxicity :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Put the DPS mains and chronic leavers into the game, they’ll duke it out! :crazy_face::facepunch:

I wonder how Juno’s Ult would work: enhanced damage on friendlies too?

everyone cuddling in the circle and both reins are brawling it out and killing everyone else X)

That’s a wonderful idea!
I can finally just kill my Widowmaker teammate instead of building a wall in front of her.

She still won’t switch but at least one of us will be happy.

I would not think for 2 seconds if I had a mercy and illari in my team.

with FF you could no longer play Junkrat, Winton, Symmetra, Torb, Moira, Maybe Rein… I mean you could play these toons but they all have strong enough aoe that it would be a detriment to the team with it on. Maybe if FF didnt kill your team mates but just only dmged them it could be fun i suspose just teams would have to not be so grouped.

Would also turn the whole game into poke only metas, couldn’t play brawl or dive without risking killing your own team half the time.

Isn’t it just DM?

It would be better in the regular game mode that everyone had a legitimate way to punish allies, just like LW’s grip.

Maybe next April fools event

Yeah, I Ice Wall the exits to spawn all the time for my team. Friendly fire.

Shame that Blizzard never had the foresight to stop that.

I think the catch should be its a Deathmatch game, so everytime you kill a teammate, you get -1 point.

Not sure if friendly fire is a good idea. Counterstrike has it, but Valorant doesn’t and it’s still a popular game. So it doesn’t seem like friendly fire really improves the game. Also, with how chaotic and team-dependent this game already is, it’ll just add even more layer of frustration to the game.

You can already get griefed by mei’s ice wall and life weaver’s life grip, I don’t think we need more ways to accidentally/intentionally grief our teammates.

Definitely something that would be hilarious for a few minutes at least. The potential for abuse and frustration at AOE everything doing unintended stuff would never make it into base game… but I’d try it a few times for the ha ha’s.
