Overwatch should have crossplay competitive functionality that players can opt-in and opt-out. Would make competitive games with friends from any other device so much funnier.

No, i already have players on PC who can’t even turn around to look behind them.
i don’t want more players who have their eyes closed in my games.
the matchmaking is already bad enough

It would be an option. meaning you can choose… then just don’t turn it on
a diamond PC player vs a Diamond player on console is like Diamond vs sliver
so no.
the skill diff is huge

I think some of you misunderstood the main point of my post. This isn’t about forcing crossplay in ranked—it’s about having the option to enable it. The choice.
Right now, if I want to play ranked with my console friends, I simply can’t. That feels unnecessarily restrictive. All I’m asking for is the ability to grind competitive with friends, take the matches seriously, and enjoy the full experience this beautiful game has to offer.
Quickplay doesn’t cut it. Too many leavers, AFKs, or players not taking the match seriously. I want to care about the outcome of the match with a full team that’s just as invested.
If someone doesn’t want to deal with crossplay ranked, they could just leave it off—as it should be by default. But for people like me who are okay with the tradeoffs, let us opt in.
This is about giving players more freedom, not taking anything away.
I think the only real way to make such an idea work is 1.If as mentioned in the thread, it is voluntary to opt-in. and 2.Aim assist is turned off for console players.
It may sound unfair to remove aim assist for console players, but it’s the only way I see avoiding cross contamination with ximmers (which I hope becomes far less of an issue in the future, as “consoles” like the Steam Deck, can basically be used as a mini gaming PC and use the proper PC client with a mouse and keyboard)
