Do you guys know how some content creators got "famous"? I know Frogger got his big following from being a Lucio otp, Super is one of the best pro players in OW history and the community's court jester, and G4H is a MAGA bigot.

How about other streamers?

I read on his youtube live chat that he said something homophobic or similar to arab teammates in vc.

He mentioned himself it was funny and made sense in the heat of the moment and it wouldnt make sense if he repeated it and I sort of see that as I can't imagine any homophobic joke that requires timing.

Hello, I am seriously considering quitting. I need some advice. I am hardstuck in Bronze 1. my peak is Silver 3. I have been stuck in Bronze 1 for about 2 years now. I have 2000 hours in the game, and I take it very seriously: VOD reviewing, Kovaaks, watching pros who play Zenyatta like I do, but it seems I just cannot carry my team enough on support when they are bots. I am so held back by playing support. I wish I would’ve put all my time into DPS so I could actually carry myself out of my rank. I have a coworker who is really super good at the game, and he watches my gameplay and coaches me sometimes, but he usually doesn’t have much to say, just that I will never be able to rank up on support. He also said that my gameplay is close to that of a Diamond support. He said I am even better than a lot of supports in his games. If anybody knows how to play Zenyatta, please help me. I usually average about 7k heals per game in a full around 10–15 minute game, and 2–3k damage, which I feel like is super high for a support, but due to my lackluster teammates, I can’t do it. And that stupid Winston character is impossible to beat. I think it should really be nerfed. I lose a lot of my games to Winston, which is also a huge problem. If you guys have any advice, please feel free to share it. I’m at a breaking point. I love this game, but I’m not sure it’s worth my time anymore when I am so limited by the role that I chose and my stupid rank. Thanks, guys. I’m sure a lot of people have felt similar frustration. My heart goes out to y’all.

I get his clips are funny and stuff but if you guys hate him so much why give him all this attention. If you really hate what he's doing why do you keep watching his streams and his tiktoks and his other shorts or whatever. You complain about him not supporting certain groups of people then go ahead and spend hours of your day giving him ad revenue and complaining about him here or on X.

Why don't people understand that even hate/rage bait clout it still clout. He gets paid more with 500 rage baiting viewers than he would 10 loyal ones.

Just some food for thought

Hey guys, I'm writing a paper on how storylines, nicknames, memes, etc, help shape the way we consume esports, specifically OWCS. It'd be great to get the community's thoughts on the topic, as this isn't exactly a topic I can cite "official" sources for! Thanks!

Classic dafran rage

durpee been drunk for 3 hours with 500 viewers but gamin4hope has 700 viewers averages

the entertainment difference is insane

I’ve been playing Overwatch since 2019 and have always maintained a Level 3 Endorsement or higher, consistently reaching and holding Level 5 for the past six months. I’m a university student who participates in competitive tournaments, so my account standing is very important to me. Recently, I’ve been hit with a season-long ban due to a technical error that I can prove is server-side, but support is stuck in a loop.

• New to Season 2: This problem never occurred in previous seasons.
• Mode Specific: It only happens in Competitive Play. Quick Play, Arcade, and other modes work perfectly fine without a single crash or disconnect.
• The Proof: I have a screenshot and video showing that while the system log says I "left the match," I am still connected to the server and actively typing in the match chat.
• Video: https://youtu.be/T2fPU6GfjzQ

Translation: [ikadesu] покидает матч. [ikadesu] is leaving the match.Этот матч будет завершен через 10 сек., поскольку один из игроков вышел из игры.Translation: This match will be terminated in 10 seconds because one of the players has left the game. Это не повлияет на ваш рейтинг навыков. Translation: This will not affect your skill rating.

I have opened several tickets (EU104391992, EU104407926, EU104428516, EU104439640). In the replies, Game Masters explicitly said:

• "The disconnection is out of the player’s hands like in your case."
• "I understand this was not your fault."

Despite these admissions, they claim they cannot lift the ban because the "automated system" cannot be overridden.

Has anyone else experienced a bug that only triggers in Competitive Play? Is there any way to get this escalated to a human who can actually look at the server logs instead of sending automated scripts?
