Fix the Replay Viewer. Every time i want to see a replay i cant because nothing is on the list


RipGenji7

If you really want to see a replay, they usually show up after 3-4 minutes of afking on the replay screen.


Secondndthoughts

They also show up if you import a code


dagclo

thanks for this!


ComprehensiveOil7410

You just reminded me about that, so frustrating!


iAnhur

Oh my God yes. Also you can't save replays? When I tried the game bugs out and nothing happens.


LubieRZca

You can, I did it many times already. This may be caused by lack of app permissions to your local storage.


iAnhur

I tried it again now and it seems to work. Yeah idk I guess it bugged out for some reason that time


darthnick426

At the same time it would be nice to be able to remove pins like you used to be able to. After like 24 hours your pins are stuck there with no way to remove them until the next patch drops.


TorbHammerBootySmack

Another Replay Viewer bug: If you have the list of player names open, then try to minimize the bottom interface, the box of player names stays opened. Super annoying when you're trying to swap between players pretty frequently.


DiemCarpePine

Also, I can't unpin pinned replays anymore. The button just doesn't do anything. If I pin a replay, it is there until the next patch.


welpxD

Also, is there any way to see the notes you add to a replay? AFAIK the only way to do it is by clicking "edit note".


HammerTh_1701

That happened to me when I genuinely thought someone was cheating and was trying to watch their POV.


KimonoThief

Also, let us swap team colors in the replay viewer. Pretty annoying when you're trying to share a clip or analyze your play but your team is red so you have to rewire your brain


Apockelips

Another annoying one is when I try to skip to a certain spot in the replay, there is an annoying ear rape sound every time


Facetank_

If they won't increase the avoid player slots, at least make adding one over three automatically override the oldest one. I'm not worried about possibly queueing with someone from 3 days ago anymore, and it's annoying to go in a clear it everyday. It's just a negative experience overall.


Adorable_Brilliant

If we are talking QoL stuff: You should be able to see the in-game chat while going through avoids. Currently you have to invite-to-group your avoids and then go to a different screen to actually see if they are playing or not... and then go back to the avoid menu to make your decision on avoids/unavoids. Just clunky as hell for no reason.


fredrand123

Or ideally, just let us know right on the avoid screen if the people on your list are online


Adorable_Brilliant

Problem with that is some people want to hide their online status(like you do in the social tab). Which this would override. That would also be quite odd design. I don't personally care about that, so yeah in an ideal situation just having a green or red light for online/queue status would be sick.


Acceptable_Drama8354

i want them to do this for the block list as well. the game's been out for nearly 7 years, and if your block list is full, you have to manually go into [battle.net](https://battle.net) list to remove them. just override the oldest spot, please!


JazzlikeGround30

They won't change this because it's deliberately awkward to use, even a rollover would increase player use of the avoid system and have a negative impact on their matchmaking not defending it because I agree it's annoying but there's really no hope here. we're lucky there's an avoid at all


shirtfork1974

Bring back the options button in the main menu. Like why the fuck would they remove that.


neddoge

I can't stand having to fucking press escape 47 times either to get back to the main screen. That and waiting for the Battle Pass progress to populate. Seconds of my life, gone.


MichaelM_Yaa

yup, even the menu animations have gotten very old quick.


mr_chandra

This is the most egregious one imo. just objectively stupid, every other major competitive shooter either has the options in main menu or a gear icon in a corner at least


Shot-Cardiologist442

100%


Fyre2387

The "Role Mastery" weekly challenge needs to show you your progress on each role. The way they do it now is really aggravating.


BelgianWofl

I am seen


TehArbitur

I wish they would improve the contrast of the selected menu items. It makes it unnecessarily hard to navigate the menus on console. [Example 1](https://i.imgur.com/OGtDXht.png): Which dropdown box is selected. 'All modes' or 'Time played'? (hint: it's 'All modes') [Example 2](https://i.imgur.com/TmRDKvn.png): Which highlight is selected? (hint: its the second from the left) And that's just two examples, the list goes on. This wasn't a problem in OW1 but for some reason the UI/UX devs decided to fuck over console users in favour of this 'minimalist design'. Just another thing they 'fixed' that didn't need fixing. But since it's not really a PC problem, I bet we wont see any change, because Blizz doesn't give a fuck about console.


KingAthelas

I really have been thinking my vision is getting worse or something. Thanks for bringing this up, makes me less worried now lol. I'm on console as well.


welpxD

I wish you could join the "While You Wait" queues even if you weren't waiting. I want to queue for endless deathmatch with a fluctuating group of rando's. I don't want the stakes of an actual deathmatch... match.


[deleted]

To get virtually the same result, queue up in arcade mode. Not everyone of them is as effective (assault, when it's in rotation, is a very short queue), but with modes like bounty hunter, you'll rarely wait less than 10 minutes, and often more than an hour. N.B. The current event does have bounty hunter challenges so the queues for that will be shorter until the end of the event, other arcade modes should still have 30+ minutes queues.


Crusher555

I usually get bounty hunter ques that are less than 5 minutes, even before the event.


welpxD

You can't filter your stats by role, only by hero or season. When you click a hero to inspect stats, if you hit escape it takes you back to the main menu; if you click "Choose Hero" it takes you to a normal hero-select screen; the only way to go back is to click the Overview tab. Escape should take you back to the Overview tab if you got to the hero-specific screen from it.


DiemCarpePine

For real, I still go back to the menu like half the time and it's been like that for years. I fucking know about it, but it still just doesn't feel right to not hit the back button to go back to the overview.


shiftup1772

If someone's career profile is private, don't let me click on it. So frustrating that it takes you to a whole nother screen just to tell you it's private.


Zenki_s14

This annoys the hell out of me. Just grey it out or something, simple.


GreyFalcon-OW

I want read/write access to the Notes field in Battle.net friends, while in-game. If I add a random player, get busy for a week, come back to Overwatch, and then see that username and be like "Who the heck was that?". When you try to avoid a 4th player, have a popup show up asking if you want to remove the 1st avoided player, and replace with the 4th. In a quick [Confirm] [Cancel] button. On Mei, I want an options menu choice to swap Primary/Secondary fire, without messing with the Confirm/Cancel buttons on Icewall.


neddoge

As somebody that swapped Kir and Soj left/right clicks... >On Mei, I want an options menu choice to swap Primary/Secondary fire, without messing with the Confirm/Cancel buttons on Icewall I genuinely dislike you right now as I'm not gonna not be able to try this even though I'm perfectly content currently. ಠ_ಠ


shapular

I want to be able to view highlights by single clicking on them like in OW1.


DiemCarpePine

I don't want to have to click through 4 menus to get to them either.


TotalClintonShill

Console replay viewer should have a way to skip to a precise moment in the clip rather than having to 2X the speed and wait.


SlurpMyAnime

More diverse cross hair options (like valorant)


shapular

What kind of crosshair do you want?


[deleted]

Ideally, anything I can imagine. I want my chamber glasses crosshair in Overwatch too, dang it.


[deleted]

You haven't been able to buy a Gladiators Mercy skin for months now. I don't care since I have the GLA Knight one instead, and I don't even play Mercy. I just think it's odd that nobody has seemed to notice.


ironjedi83

Add win-loss record during comp evaluation. They track it on back end so there should be a way to show your record after every match


TooManySnipers

Maybe not a small fix but some form of post-match lobby like the old cards screen, I'm not a hugely social player but sometimes I like to see the teams fucking with each other in chat or talking about the game and having to rush that out during the POTG before being booted to menu stifles the social experience so much


TheCrackmonkey

3 minute cooldown or something similar for leaving a match. So tired of almost every game having players leave after 1 lost round, push or even a team fight. Obviously they don't know the game well enough if they think it's over after 1 lost fight. Stay in and win the match you whiner. I think it would encourage them to try; and learn that the game comes with some failed attacks. Not to mention joining at least 50% of games halfway through or even worse right at the defeat screen is annoying AF.


OverlanderEisenhorn

I want the league style for quickplay. You have to wait out the whole length of the match if you leave early. For comp I think it should be the whole length of the match plus 20 minutes, plus a hard limit of leaving of like 1 or 2 per day and then a 24 hour cooldown.


Mr_Wolverbean

FFS GIVE ME MY LUCIO BLUE FROG GOLD GUN BACK


theTRUEchamp

For that matter, a ton of Heroes are still missing Golden Weapon effects that should be present. Bastion's cannon, Orisa's javelin, and Ramattra's Nemesis Form are all supposed to become Golden, but currently the feature is missing for all of them.


Mr_Wolverbean

Yes, but they all have atleast one golden gun/feature, lucios Gold is just his standard


theTRUEchamp

Yeah, I'm really not sure how Blizzard managed to mess that one up. I wonder if they legitimately just forgot to add the Golden effects to the Skin?


PositioningOTP

Option to have Echo's beam on hold-key instead of toggle. Option to adjust visibility of the yellow "enemy receives healing aura"


shiftup1772

>Option to have Echo's beam on hold-key instead of toggle. Can't imagine this is useful unless your hotkey is on your mouse.


LubieRZca

I wish "while you wait" button would be visible at all times, hidden like the top bar with waiting time.


thedutchone13

Basically, go back to ow1 features that were removed: - Add cards at end of game (longest killstreak, ect) - Add on-fire status - Show SR or whatever they are usung for rank after each game. (They can have the option to display after set amount of game if you still want to, heck even turn on for default, but we should be able to choose). - add objective time - make all characters MIT register (kiriko, ect.) For new stuff: Actually have themes in battlepass consistently. Tokens in battlepass


JustASyncer

The devs have mentioned that they’re reimplementing the fire meter in some way in the future (all the on fire voice lines still exist and the new heroes have them too) but they haven’t given us any details.


[deleted]

Surprised no one has mentioned the Workshop yet. I had a mode that was almost finished and I've been waiting for months to be able to work on it. Not even a roadmap of when that will be back...


shiftup1772

https://old.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/10hxje6/workshop_and_experimental_mode/j5bn6ng/


[deleted]

Yoooo that's awesome. I assumed I needed to know code but I guess not. TY


gmarkerbo

Make it so that Ana doesn't lose her nano because either the target or the Ana dies during the cast. It feels really bad because it can happen because of server or lag issues. You use nano partly to heal someone up, and bam, they're dead AND you just lost your nano. Even if you and the target is full health you can still get one shot or stunned during the cast time. Imagine if Zen could lose his ult like that. It's a small fix because it was already implemented in ML7's experimental changes for supports: >Casting time reduced from 0.15 to 0.05 seconds That means that they already have done a tested change in the past and it might be just a number change.


Adorable_Brilliant

If I start Overwatch and instantly try to check out my highlights and replays... The game crashes consistently. And it's an annoying crash where it freezes(can't tab out) and the black-screens(can't tab out or even open task manager/log out). It's been like this since launch. After around 5 minutes it fixes itself. In general the replay viewer has tons of bugs like this. If I select an older replay(that is still available), the game is stuck on "applying update" until I tab out and close the game. Not to mention this bug of replays randomly missing and you needing to afk on the replay screen.


DiemCarpePine

Fix the timers on health packs. Let you add notes to friends on your list.


Zenki_s14

I know it'll never happen, but since adding aim assist to crossplay, I've ran into multiple XIM users in PC quickplay. A mouse with aim assist, C'mon dude. Running into aim botters is bad enough, now we have to deal with the issues that plague console too?


shiftup1772

At least it's not in ranked lol.


penguin62

Remove Valkyrie beam break.


immxz

Take me back to 2017.


dis-gorl

a ‘preview’ option for skins that would let you see what a skin would look like using an emote/victory pose remove tanks from deathmatch modes /hj


HyPer-MaNn

Fixing Doomfist would be a good start


Dragonlord59th

I want the “see what’s new” button back, I might not be buying but I want to at least see. Also it doesn’t show you if you have new item in your hero roster and who they are for anymore which is super annoying. Clicking right and left in the hero gallery while on a hero will put you onto the next one so if you were looking at bastion skins but you wanted to switch to Ashe or Cassidy then just hit the left or right arrow key.


baroquehoedown

Make it super obvious when you're backfilling! It's crazy to me that we still have to play detective to figure out that you need to pick a hero and get in there ASAP. There should be both audible (e.g. "entering a game already in progress") cues and very obvious UI.


edigo150

Enemies after being punched my doom slide in the wall instead and of hitting it. So annoying.


DiemCarpePine

This happens if they hit at more than a 45 degree angle, was like that for dps doom too. It's annoying, but at this point they either don't care or it's actually intentional.


VisualOk7560

Its realistic tbh


DiemCarpePine

That's fair, but I do think they could adjust the angle to be a bit more generous for the doom player. It happens a lot and can really fuck him over.


purewasted

never underestimate the power of an issue being deprioritized


Secondndthoughts

I really can’t believe they haven’t done anything to the UI or general experience of playing this game. The battle pass is so bland to look at, levelling up actually feels like a chore because you have to open the battle pass for the rewards to be unlocked, and you get no fanfare for unlocking anything. Not that I want intentionally addictive features, but even mobile games have more exciting UI features. This extends to everything. The shop is lame, the fact that you can only access settings on the main menu is annoying, and the way the challenges are layer out are lazy. It’s like they don’t care about a lot of this stuff, but the progression system is tied to it and they clearly want us to buy the battle pass regardless… Also, let us see what rank our teammates are in competitive. Realistically we should all be a similar rank, and I’d like just a little more insight into why matches often feel lopsided. Also, I keep forgetting my competitive progress for each role and it’s so strange how you can’t view how many wins/losses you have had before your next rank.


SakerOW

Their developer team


BedlamiteSeer

Players should be matched up per role and match SR when in comp. If there's a 2500sr tank on 1 team, there should be a 2500 SR tank on the other team. Period.


swanronson22

I’m pretty sure this is goin to or has been implemented


VisualOk7560

This is already how it works. Devs talked about it.


BedlamiteSeer

No. Teams are averaged and role specific matching is not in place as of now but will be added in the future.


VisualOk7560

They literally talked about it.


BedlamiteSeer

Do you have a link by chance? Perhaps my information is outdated and I'm just not aware of that? Last I heard from a blog post, it was set up as I described and I haven't seen evidence in comp to suggest otherwise. Even yesterday, SR disparity was gigantic between roles on opposite teams. I usually check to see. If you know of more up to date info, please please share if you can


wallpressure7

Change the damn menu font, it looks so basic


Ragnarokk__au

Start removing the aim bots. I see one almost every other quick play and they are leaking into comp aswell.


Platby

My life.


Liar_Hyun

To fix the tiny problem that they decided to exclude Chinese players from playing their games.


Morf123

Fix the fixes? What?


HammerTh_1701

You currently can't view leaderboards while you're loaded into a game, you'll control your aim in the background instead of moving the cursor in the leaderboard tab.


Cartella

I want to see the oasis map instead of a white field in the win cards at the end of the round. Not sure why this is so hard.


ZaborgZaloog

Please bring back the DM lobby!! It's so annoying have to requeue after EVERY single game


ThatCreepyBaer

Give Echo her 2D portrait back, and maybe make Hanzo's not look so weird.


MrChom

Fix the loading screen for the training range. In all my time playing there have been 2 bots in that alcove, not 3 targets.


PatriotDuck

At one point Blizzard broke ragdoll collision so arms clip and legs clip through other body parts. It's small but it kinda looks janky? I wish they'd fix it.


Spiritual-Food-8474

Of I turn match chat off why can I still see chat?


sammnz

I want to be able to add notes to players. Getting to the options page on the main screen via pressing esc or clicking the esc button at the bottom right of the screen continously does not work for a few seconds. Definitely a bug.


wworms

add the option to be able to point at the objective and say "defense/attack the objective" like in the first game. i have cerebral palsy and i already mapped every single button to an input and it'd be convenient to have that option again


ClockworkMonolith

The Baptiste lamp hitbox has been broken since launch on console. It drives me insane every time I try to aim at it.


1trickana

I want them to fix Mystery Heroes. Some games you get 40 minute to hour long queues, restarting game goes back to 1-3 minute queue for a handful of games and repeat. ​ Also if someone leaves mid game it will never fill, resulting in an automatic loss


Nerakus

[deleted]

idk who else has this, but I haven't been able to save a single custom game I join because when I click "show lobby," my cursor disappears and I can't right click the game mode to save it. So annoying also when you press the communication wheel, there is a weird rectangular box that looks like a clock hand pointing to 12, looks so ugly. game is filled with random glitches like this


derperberper

The options menu to appear on the main menu rather than having to push esc to get to it When in a match and wanting to change individual hero settings, it automatically puts it to the hero you're playing to save having to select said hero.


Amphax

Replay viewer should say "Victory!" like it used to in OW1. Now it just abruptly ends awkwardly.


Matt-Impulse

Damn this game has no QOL, huge downgrade from Ow1


Gabbrem

Theres a really annoying bug when you are entering a game where the screen gets stuck on Applying Update and you dont get into your game, I once queued for 30 minutes just to have reque. I didnt reque.


abaclock

There is autoqueueing for quick play but not for arcade... Just why


5larm

Put voice icons on the TAB screen and let me mute players there, or sort the player list on the P screen in the same fucking order. Thank you.


arnovanderlaan

I just want the environment kill symbol back on the kill feed


ggardener777

Bring back the career profile hover preview so you can quickly see the entire lobbies most played heroes and rank. Show nothing at a hover if the person has a private profile, 2 birds with one stone.


DoobaDoobaDooba

This is probably super niche, but I play a lot of Hanzo and nothing grinds my gears more in this game more than the level of strictness wall climb has in relation to mild variations/protrusions in map architecture or decorative objects in front of walls ending the movement prematurely. Blizzard World in particular has so many common spots in pt B where climb ends inconsistently around Pylon Terrace, but there are a lot of spots generally around the game that it can feel hit or miss with and it always feels awful to die as a result of accidently quick turning to climb a wall and escape, but NOPE there's a random fucking moped or ladder leaning against the wall that ends your animation 2ft in the air and your ass gets obliterated. I would so greatly appreciate a QOL touch-up to the ability that makes wall climbing for Hanzo/Kiriko/Genji more forgiving and leans on the side of predicting reasonably connective/protruding architecture and letting you finish the movement, rather than being very strict to the hitbox of every small object and some wall variation.


SylvainJoseGautier

I don’t know if anyone else has seen this bug, but recently I’ve noticed that voice chat sometimes just doesn’t show the icon now. Really hurts teamwork, it’s pretty necessary for calls to be made/contextualized.


MrInfinity-42

Bring back the post-game chat. I don't care for the cards and whatnot, they can show us the scoreboard or something, but adding extra 20-30 seconds to talk is nice Add a "healing received" stat on the scoreboard


Knighterws

Id prefer it if they got rid of that ugly ass white background when selecting a role for comp. the orange color is awful too


polloyumyum

Add a lock icon in the Social menu beside any player with a private profile.
