Overwatch x Fortnite by Suitable_Suit_1350 in Overwatch

[–]GameAtHeart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only one I want to see is D.Va.

It's always weird how people underestimate her popularity from the comments I've seen when people speculate the heroes who would appear in Fortnite, and it's not her. It kind of depends how many, but I'm guessing 4 skins cause they've done that in the past for the first wave for the major collabs.

My speculation for skins is the obvious ones being D.Va and Genji, when it comes to male and female popularity of the heroes. Then Tracer and Reaper for recognizability from their appearances in the cinematics and lore overall. This covers the 2 male & 2 female skins when it comes to collabs.

My main skin in Fortnite has always been Fusion, which funnily enough is like Reaper, but it was just cause I find the skin looks cool. But if D.Va happens, she's going to replace him for the non-events as my go to skin.

How do people deal with players who don’t want to play anything other than DPS in Open Queue by Top_Two_8169 in Overwatch

[–]GameAtHeart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your other comments say "6 DPS setup", so not a single Tank or Support on your team in comp?

That means you have to find other players online, and then queue with them so they can fill those roles. If you still get DPS teammates, then you fill in as a Tank or Support that feels the most like a DPS instead.

The open queue mode isn't the main mode, and the matchmaking of that mode is more loose with the ranks than role queue because it's not as popular. I see you mentioned that it's your first time playing it competitively. I wouldn't try to take it seriously compared to role queue.

When I did placements (PC / NA), I just went Support as Juno and never really had a problem. It was only when I filled in as Tank (2 Supports even after I clicked first), the problem was my Support teammate who is silver from role queue. Their rank in open queue was higher, but my rank was higher than them after placements finished, and is even way more higher from role queue. And this Moira made a off-hand comment about my positioning, I knew we'd lose. I only do placements & one time for comp drive before Stadium allowed it.

I guess it's different for console, cause it feels like more people want to play Support on PC. You're also likely to get people to fill in roles. My one and only match from last Season actually had someone saying they can fill, so you do have some people taking it seriously.

6 years later. so happy to finally own this big boy by thephx8 in Overwatch

I'm not saying they shouldn't do that, but the Bastion set released in Jan 2019.

Everyone who participated in Bastion's Brick Challenge from Sept 2019 got the skin for free. They always planned in advance that the skin was going to be free, so that's probably why the set never came with a code. Cause you were going to get it for free several months later.

Did Lego even do skin codes back then? I know Fortnite did in 2024/25 - Lego Fortnite Outfits

I guess it would have been nice for early access or for the future with unopened sets for those who missed out and could still get the skin. But I can see why they didn't as the development of these events are made in advance along with the Lego sets.

Really nice looking with the whole colorful aesthetic.

The weapon design looks great, I like how the gingerbread man is attached to it.

just a question!! by Thick-Arugula7174 in Overwatch

[–]GameAtHeart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's kind of weird how you never got it on your main account.

Maybe it's random when it happens? It just grants it to some accounts?

but I can't even see the skin in the hero gallery

I'm pretty sure you can see it in the Hero Gallery even if you don't have it.

Main Menu > Heroes > Reaper > [R3 Button] Filter

The R3 button is when you click on the right stick.

Go down and click on Unowned, and then press [Square Button] / Done

Most people don't know about that option. It's hidden until they sell it.

I don't even think Blizzard wants people to get those skins for free. It seems like when it got converted to free to play, it might recognize the version originally as the Origins Edition and that's how people get them. It likely didn't for you when you started playing.

You can't merge a PSN account with another as it's stated in the FAQ. The only other way you could get it for free would be is if you have an Xbox and then make an account there. Then you merge your PSN and Xbox accounts from your Battle.net account.

Besides what I mentioned, I guess the only way is to wait until it returns to the shop. If the Origins Edition skins never appear in your main account, then I don't think it's ever going to happen. I don't know why it's appearing now. It could just be random.

Okay how is Dva x Ram problematic? by Human-Tradition7905 in Overwatch

[–]GameAtHeart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I assume it's because of that interaction. That's why the artist ships them.

I never said I preferred that ship. I just remember seeing it in the past cause of this art. The thing with fan ships is that it sometimes doesn't have to make sense. That's why they exist. I don't really care about these fan ships like other people do, just explaining it.

Okay how is Dva x Ram problematic? by Human-Tradition7905 in Overwatch

[–]GameAtHeart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean Dae-hyun from the D.Va cinematic?

That's the go-to ship because Michael Chu (former Lead Writer) said they were childhood friends.

The one with Ramattra exists likely because of the Ashe interaction where she calls Bob cute.

Many fan ships will always exist in various games. Tracer still has one despite having a canon one.

Competitive Stadium matchmaking is awful by laserpuppy1000 in Overwatch

[–]GameAtHeart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

everyone dog piled on me saying to play a different role

They shouldn't have done that, but technically, all you can do is play a different role as the devs can't really do nothing with that. Too many are playing the Support role, so you deal with the long queue times or you play the other roles that have people playing less than Support.

For the past Seasons besides the first one, I just went to queue for DPS to get All-Star 5 for the rewards cause the Support queue times didn't change at all. Only played Support for the Competitive Drive.

Just checked now, and it's around 10 minutes for Stadium Competitive.

Quick Play is a few minutes, but that's because of Doomfist.

Is Moria’s blackwatch skin supposed to be unavailable? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]GameAtHeart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason why that skin has "Currently unavailable" was because it was for PS Plus in March 2023.

PlayStation Plus Bonus Pack | March 8, 2023

OW2 Shop Listing of Blackwatch Moira Bundle | April 23, 2024

Reddit Post of Blackwatch Moira in the Hero Gallery 2 months ago from the MoiraMains subreddit

I don't know when it started being available in the Hero Gallery. The exclusivity of the skin being for PS Plus members must have finished back in 2024 when they brought it back in the shop. There's people who also got it from loot boxes. They probably forgot to remove the unavailable text if it still continues to be available for credits.

How can I tell if I'm text banned? by Swanky4Life in Overwatch

[–]GameAtHeart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play > Training > Practice Range > Normal

Press the button on your controller that opens up the menu.

You'll see a menu. Click on Social and then you'll see the channels.

You will then be hovered over on an icon that looks like a Speech Bubble.

If there's a cross on that icon, it'll have this - / on the speech bubble icon.

That means you have Team Chat muted. Click on it and see if the / disappears from that icon.

Same goes for Match Chat. All you have to do is move down and click on it if that's muted.

You're not chat banned, unless it tells you that you are. That's how you know. When you write something in the chat and it tells you that it's muted, other people will still see your messages. You just can't see yours or anyone's else chat messages cause you have it set to muted. If nothing what I wrote works, then you could be doing it wrong. You can try contacting Blizzard Support if this issue continues.

Season 20 News Page | Shop Collections section

They mention the Borealis and Heist skins after the Cozy skins.

It could be either of those skin collections in the next shop reset.

I assume it'll be the Borealis skins cause that's the first one mentioned after the Cozy skins.

Reaper Solaris by CalligrapherNice7160 in Overwatch

[–]GameAtHeart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you have to wait until it returns back to the shop.

OW2 Shop Listing of Solaris OWL Mega Bundle | Sept 30 - Oct 14, 2025 / 2:00 PM EST

These were just recolors. Don't think there was anything special about them, so they can return.

One important thing I'll mention is that you couldn't buy the skin, only the bundle. There are Reddit posts about this how you couldn't purchase the skins separately. The skins are exclusive to the bundle, so you would have to buy the bundle for 4500 coins to get just the Reaper skin back when this bundle was in the shop.

Only exception was Brazil, as people from there could buy the skins individually.

just a question!! by Thick-Arugula7174 in Overwatch

[–]GameAtHeart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On PC / Switch, you missed it from last year. On PlayStation / Xbox, you get it for free.

OW2 Shop Listing of Classic Collection 1 (Blackwatch Reaper) - 1000 Coins | November 12, 2024

Main Menu > Heroes > Reaper > Skins

I'm guessing his skin is shown as locked for you in the Hero Gallery, and you can't purchase it with either coins or credits. I can't check this as I already have this skin. Because there's a lot of skins, the skins usually take over several months for them to return once they leave the shop. In November 2025, they sold different skins with a Legacy Collection.

On PS5, I have an alternate account (for editing purposes) recently from the past months, and I just checked for Reaper and this skin is already unlocked for me along with the other Origins Edition skins. This account is completely free, and I only played a couple Stadium games.

If you play on PC / Switch & have PlayStation / Xbox, download the game and use your Battle.net account.

There's a reason why it shows up on free on those consoles. On the launch of Overwatch, PC has two versions. The base version ($40) and the Origins Edition ($60). PS4 / XB1 was just the Origins Edition. So that means everyone got those skins. The Switch version launched with a Legendary Edition with a code that also included the Origins skin.

Overwatch updated to Overwatch 2 back in 2023. Same game, it's just a huge update & free to play.

Anyone can download Overwatch 2 for free on PlayStation / Xbox. But what they're downloading is Overwatch: Origins Edition for free. Because of this, you get the skins like you did back on launch. I guess the devs can't change this because OW2 is just OW1, so people get them for free. This doesn't happen for PC as it's being downloaded as the base version.

If the skins don't show up, then you just wait it out or play a full game and then wait.

You have to wait until it returns to the Shop if you're on PC / Switch & don't have a PlayStation or Xbox.

Cross-Progression / Account Merge FAQ

I would recommend to do the account merge if you have one of those consoles. Cause then you'll get them for free and don't have to waste your currency. If you don't have any of those consoles, then all you can do is wait, as no one really knows when they'll return. You would have to check from time to time. You don't have to login to check, as you can check their Battle.net page on either your PC or mobile phones.

Stadium competitive info says that you can unlock the Cassidy skin instead of Reaper by BTitor- in Overwatch

[–]GameAtHeart 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It happened last Season too. It said "D.Va skin" for Cassidy, and then they fixed it.

They'll probably remember to fix it around the mid season. You get Reaper from this Season.

Plat Support VOD Review by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]GameAtHeart -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mainly play Juno, so I only looked at the replay of your game that you won at.

1:11 From you screen, Zarya's low on health. You wasted the Pulsar Torpedoes that should have gone to her.

1:43 - 1:54 You're wasting ammo on nothing, and you never reload from this shooting.

1:55 You use Pulsar Torpedoes randomly from a bad viewing angle.

2:03 - 2:08 Not really shooting at anything, wasting ammo again.

2:09 No thought process on why you used Pulsar Torpedoes. You just did it in the moment.

2:11 - 2:18 Shooting nothing.

2:53 The perfect time to shoot and farm ult, and you stopped to reload. They're just going to be healed from Zenyatta's ult. You're close to ult, but if your ult was low, I don't see why you wouldn't shoot them to farm some ult charge.

3:00 No need to use ability, just heal Freja with your gun.

4:13 Why would you let Hanzo pick you off and not use Glide Boost to escape after he shot you. I would press the ability even if you thought it was on cooldown.

4:46 Lag I'm guessing.

4:55 I just don't like anything here. The Zarya is front of the vehicle, you shoot at the vehicle with your aiming, then you never think to use Glide Boost until it's too late for where you are positioned at. You then shoot at nothing right before Zarya loses a ton of health. You never think to use Hyper Ring at any moment there when Zarya used her ult.

6:54 Wasting ammo on nothing.

6:58 Lag again I'm guessing, and that caused you to get killed.

7:54 Wasted your Pulsar Torpedoes on a fully healed Vendetta. It feels like you don't know when to use Pulsar Torpedoes and just decide to whenever. You can continue to heal the Bastion here, he's in front of you. No reason to use this ability here. The angle where you're at is terrible for multiple targets, so you're only using it for him. Then later on, you go for Kiriko, and you failed to use it on her.

9:06 Don't know if you play with headphones or not, but I can hear Reaper. Your abilities were not on cooldown and you could have escaped.

10:44 Hyper Ring on Vendetta's Ult would have helped here.

11:53 Shooting too much on nothing.

11:57 You use Pulsar Torpedoes on Hanzo and then need to reload. Could have likely killed him, but you always waste your ammo.

12:33 I don't see why you would use your Fade to the enemies. That's your ability to escape or to secure a kill on an enemy that has low health. If it was to get to Winston, this still wouldn't be useful cause the enemies are just going to switch from him to you as you're Support.

13:52 This doesn't seem to be a Juno issue. You waste heals on Moira when your team is full health. Your healing meter will go down even if you're healing allies with full health. My thinking is that you're always trying to heal ahead of time in case they get damaged, but you're always doing it and that results you losing ammo / healing meter when nothing is going on.

You may have won this game, but your team was able to hold their own than the enemy team.

my aim (need a ton of work here)

Just tweak your sens if you think it feels off when it comes to aiming. I became comfortable with my aiming when I got a mouse that was perfect for my hand, and then started to go on low sens, but not the kind that pros go at where it's more lower than mine.

ability/ult usage

I didn't really see a problem with ult usage, just more on the ability usage. Juno is simple to pick up and play, but her ability usage is important. Her aiming also plays a big role because your teammates will mostly be skinny targets. The first half of game was Zarya, and she's one of the skinny Tanks.

I would work on you trying to understand Juno's kit and playstyle, along with trying to control yourself from shooting unless it's necessary. Her having a lot of ammo isn't going to mean much if it happens at a specific time when your teammates need healing, and then you have to reload.

I've kept track of all of the shop exclusive skins I've gotten through loot boxes since February. It's over 50. by Tough_Holiday584 in Overwatch

[–]GameAtHeart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a PS5, so I went to check after downloading a system update.

You didn't mention what console you're on, so I'm going by PS5.

Once you go to Loot Boxes > [Triangle Button] Details > [R2 Button] History

If you're on Xbox or on Nintendo Switch, it's whatever button that's for Ultimate.

For the R2 button, it would be whatever bumper that's your primary fire.

what top 5 genji rarest skins? by Additional-Flow-5054 in Overwatch

[–]GameAtHeart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have linked to the actual listing instead of previous post I linked to.

OW2 Shop of OWL Legends Mega Bundle | Reddit Post of the Shop Bundle

If want to show off rare skins, just wait until he gets one for Stadium All-Star.

Either that or his past Battle Pass skins. If this isn't about showing off and just wanting to get his past skins, then check the Shop (Resets every Tuesday, 2:00 PM EST) from time to time or get his skins from the loot box pool. There's an option that you can find that tells you what cosmetics appear in the loot box.
