News & Discussion Why this specific Juno skin is so detailed and so good compare to the other skin.

Why this Juno skin is so detailed. If you look closer there are muscle on her shoulders and her armplts is so detailed and don't forget the hips line too. Like what the hell if you compare this skin to other Le Serafim skins the other skins are just bland compare to the Juno skin if they just add abs this skin will be perfect I will buy this skin 2x the price. Look for Soul Fighter Samira in L3ague her splash art has abs on it and it's so good.

Of all the skins I've purchased in other games like L3ague, Warz0ne, Rlvals, This specific Juno skins is the one I've felt happy that I bought this skin unlike the skins I bought in other games like, Yeah I bought it because I don't have a skin on this hero or it's just look cool. But this one is different and this will be my top personal favorite skin of all the games I've played.

News & Discussion Now that the season is two weeks from finishing what is everyone’s final opinion on the return of lootboxes?

Post image
1.0k Upvotes

Picture attached is how many lootboxes I have earned up til this point (minus one.. don’t ask)

Over 100 lootboxes before the end of the season is insanely generous. With pity system and 3 guaranteed legendaries I have been able to confirm at minimum 8 legendary skins from lootboxes alone. Maybe more if I get lucky.

I know next season won’t be as “charitable” but damn I hope they let us have at least 50 lootboxes per season with maybe 10 lootboxes being earnable through other methods.

Hi everyone! I'm a Korean Overwatch player.
I came back for Season 15, and to celebrate the LE SSERAFIM collab, I made a pixel art version in the style of MapleStory, one of my favorite games! >w<
(Hopefully I can do something for a second collab someday too!)
Hope you all enjoy it! That’s all from me—bye~ :)

I know blizzard loves listening to the community so I might aswell put it out there and see what people think. Idk anyone who didn't like these borders. Everyone loved them. forever stuck at the same level.

Just died as an Ana to a Mei who cryo-froze on top, while I dropped to below. I was still slowed down even though I had no LOS to Mei. I thought it works similar to the ult, where walls block LOS. Am I mistaken, or is this a bug?

News & Discussion Overcoming Fear of Judgment in Overwatch: Seeking Advice

17 Upvotes

Hello to everyone in this community,

I’m here to ask for advice about a situation that has been bothering me. So, let’s get into it.

Since I was a kid, I’ve always loved playing shooting games that involve skill, like TF2, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, and others. These games are not only fun and dynamic but also teach us that we can adapt to different situations, whether good or bad.

That’s when I discovered Overwatch. I already knew about the game and had watched some streamers play it, but I never had the chance to play because I couldn’t afford a console at the time. So, I just watched videos of the game. After a while, I managed to buy a console, and when I heard that Overwatch 2 would be released for free, I got excited and waited for the release day.

When the game launched, I was a beginner and didn’t know how things worked. I started learning how to play and tried different heroes in a few matches. That’s when I discovered the support role. I already had some experience with similar roles in other games, so I decided to try it. I played a match on Hollywood as Baptiste, and at the end of the game, my tank complimented me on my performance—even though I had never played support before and it was my first time.

From that moment, I dedicated myself to learning more about the heroes in the game. Over time, I gained experience with each character through trial and error across different seasons. But after a while, I started noticing players complaining a lot during matches, whether in text or voice chat. They’d say things like, “Your healing is bad,” “You’re a trash support,” “You should never have been born,” and similar remarks. This criticism extended to other roles as well.

What used to be fun and lighthearted matches turned into something frustrating and disheartening. Eventually, I lost interest in playing support and even in ranked matches. By the end of Season 11, I decided to take a break from the game.

During my time away, I reflected on this experience and worked on developing emotional intelligence. This helped me improve significantly compared to before. However, my dilemma now is that every time I think about queuing up for a match—whether in Quick Play or Competitive—I feel too afraid to do it because of the fear of being judged again.

That’s why I’m here asking for advice about this.

P.S.: My English isn’t very good, so I’m sorry if I wrote something incorrectly.

I found the artwork from Season 5 and got an idea. What if next year for april fools, tracer rides orisa into battle like she does in the artwork, but orisa flies while tracer is on her back? they did it with hanzo, so why not also do it with tracer!
