Exactly, they claim to have a lot of players, but there’s a reason why PC players have to share lobbies with console kids in QP and why solo Q is not a thing as well.
To this day I wonder, if there is any visible difference between actual wallhack and being told by someone else, where enemies are.
Pings are already basically that my friend, now imagine if people that played solo followed them, OW would be other game … for now, only duos/groups do that.
I meant by means outside game, such as Discord call.
Requests to add such feature will always be on the bottom of their backlogs. F to Aaron Keller and his clowns

I know bro, just saying that a Discord call is not even needed to add coordination the pings are already enough. Discord calls are even worse.
They should just show us who’s in groups again. Then at least we know who’s going to covering who. Or if a support will likely pocket someone so we can pick something with some self healing. One of the worst decisions they ever made was removing the ability to see groups.
Yep the bitter truth is Overwatch can only be played properly with a 5 stack in voice comms. Anything else is a compromise.
Still I’m glad the compromise is allowed because I would hate to have to find 4 other players to q up whenever I wanted to play a match.
Obviously solo q is undoubtedly the worst compromise of all. Have to keep expectations in check.
I’m a perennial plat lvl 5 endorsement solo q tank, I’m forced to be a bargain basement Cyx maining Hog… I’m lucky if I get a chance to play Rein(fav tank) with randoms. Every game turns into the Orisa/Mauga rage switch… I humble myself if my team cant hang and go Zarya. And I still get warnings from blizzard regularly about reports from salty dps teammates. It is what it is, if I don’t like it I can find 4 friends.
Just gotta roll with it or make some friends.
I will say solo q tank is much harder than Ow1. I was a diamond solo q tank then. I don’t think I’ll ever get out of plat in Ow2. I can only make diamond on tank in Open q. But I refuse to play Orisa/Mauga so I guess its somewhat on me.
I think some characters will always depend more on coordination then others based on gameplay, so if you will not have anyone coordinating with you on your team because you “chose to” according to some people in the thread, then in no hipoteses should the other team have that advantage.
Advantage in competitive sports are a real deal, and you can argue that dosnt exist in high elos, but how many people that play overwatch are in those?
Sometimes you are playing and wondering why you cant play the game then you have to go all the way to trying to join a group with someone on the other team just to discover that you now need to swap cause you will not be able to play your chacter the way he meant to be, you will be shutdown. Skill aside two characters will shutdown one completly in any situation they want and teams compose of only solo players will never cooperate as those who are in groups to take advantage of those situations.
Ha, simple.
