Oh jeeze it definitely feels like they’re ignoring us

Don’t feel bad, they ignore a lot of what goes on these forums. Admittedly a lot of it needs to be ignored as it’s reddit quality drivel. Unfortunately, the useful and incitefull threads get lost in the sea of nerf my counter stupidity.

Which brings up the point that this forum could be greatly improved by better community management. A better breakdown of topics and sections would help. More dev team directed topics, like the occasional poll that’s appeared. More guided dev team interaction, like the Brigitte Q&A from a few weeks back.

The forums could be a great tool for the dev team. Instead it’s treated more like that relative they don’t like, but their parents force them to go visit once a month.

I’m here again to bump this so blizz can see us. Anyone else seen the new patch notes and buffs and nerfs? That Tracer nerf is gonna be interesting, especially since I’m a tracer main lol. But getting back on topic, please blizz see us we love overwatch and you in general but us console players need things for the game to be the best it can be! Please notice us

And we got ANOTHER nerf
Tracer was the only reliable Bastion counter on consoles. Her Pulse Bomb just got nerf and that’s another indirect nerf to consoles.

Again, Blizzard is balancing the game looking at PC stats.
I’m really starting to be done with this game.

The worst about this are the lucio changes in the end…

Yeah, these are going to be pretty crippling. Lucio is losing his evasive abilities so he can stick to walls better.

The devs probably read this thread thinking

“Huh, I had no idea so many 2nd class citizens needed consoling.”

They probably use their consoles at HQ as coasters. They don’t care.

Pretty sure the lack of response backs up this claim

Anotjer day with tons of activity from the devs… yet nothing. Do we need to get 12k comments to get a response or what?

Can we please add input lag to the main post?

Btw:
There was an update 1 or 2 days ago on console, what was it about? Not the one with the pvE changes, there was one 24h later but I couldn’t find any news on this. Even googling it led me to other forums asking for the changes.

This is one of those problems, somrtimes we get updates but apparently we’re not even worth the effort of being told what was changed…

How has no one noticed the input lag? Even playing on a gaming monitor it is still noticeable, seriously switch over to cod on battlefield and feel the difference. Even with 0 aim smoothing it’s bad.

We need to be able to turn on reduced buffering or turn down the render scale.

Another thing that would be easy to implement

I noticed it with the videos. But I’m personally more or less used to it. There is another thread for things like this though.

Just because you get used to it, it’s still an issue which shouldn’t be in a first person shooter. I’m pretty sure everyone is used to it now, but as soon as they fix it you’ll feel the difference for sure and it’ll make hitscans like ana, widow, soldier and Mcree more viable.

The update was a fix about Hanzo’s scatter cooldown accidentally being reduced to 8 seconds. It was added to the original patch notes about the pve changes, but easily overlooked.

At least give us an option to transfer our cosmetics to PC, or make it crossover like fortnite magically did. They’re always like"uhhh it’s not easy cause sony,microsoft blahblah" then why are so many other games already doing this exact same thing.

console OW is a freaking joke.

I thought the changes of scatter cam along with pve? Did they have to add it afterwards?

I’ve literally lost the last bit of hope in the devs now.

Yeah, it was added later, the original patch just had the pve changes. But I think they reapplied the same patch with the Hanzo thing the next day or something like that.

If anything else was added, I haven’t noticed nor was it in any patch notes
