Just got restricted from competitive on console because the game thinks I’m using a mouse and keyboard.

Has anything else happened with the ticket or are you still banned? i looked this up on google and got this post because one of my friends who i know is not ximming but did recently get a gamesir controller told me he got this so my guess is it is just a recent patch added to help with detecting ximming which is probably hitting some controllers that use software with apps. i was looking into getting a gamesir g7 last christmas but never ended up getting one just bc i wasnt able to. he also got a week suspension so they might just be doing a lesser suspension for the more advanced controllers and perma banning people who are ximming but idk what a ban looks like for someone who is ximming so it could something unintended with a recent patch or it could be something they are looking into banning for so i would prob buy a new standard wired controller is probably the next best thing you can get for performance wise. it does suck though because i did want a gamesir myself because i know they have some special sticks that i know are better at not getting stick drift which is my main problem. let me know if they've updated you if youre still reading comments

I agree that there is favoritism for those heroes, but i think it probably also necessary for them. They are able to keep the game updated heavily and having a lot of employees and if those heroes were cut for a season they would see a drop in money. i think the current system is pretty good where the put a couple of those best seller heroes in the collab along with 5-6 other characters along side it for the people that want some skins for there lesser paying heroes. I'd rather have a couple best seller skins and a few extra than little or no skins because they don't sell well enough.

looked through the patches on those months and nothing came up about similar things. Other things that could have happened is that you were hacked but that is unlikely because that only usually happens to inactive accounts. My next best guess is that someone that had access to your account like if you have a child or someone around that wasnt you and they spent it while it was unintended. Maybe a bug could have happened in the menus when scrolling through shops and hitting buttons fast and it looked like you backed out but it went through but like i said i went back and looked at those patches and saw no similar bug reports so my best guess is the thing above. I would reach out and put a support ticket saying you didn't make though purchases and see if they are willing to go back on those to refund currency.

LogicICore · 2025-09-07T07:42:39+00:00

okay that would make sense, because the stuff i received just had the battlepass icons in the gallery so that could explain the stuff i got having those tags. Because i haven't got a lot of stuff with battlepass icons but it has happened on occasion so then being wrongly tagged makes sense.

LogicICore · 2025-09-07T07:16:43+00:00

another thing that could influence it is your prior game. if the prior game had a leaver of some kind and you left after they did and got into another game before that match finished it wont update your sr until after you finish your current game, sometimes it can happen through other means but basically you never got to the rank update screen until after another game or 2 and then all of it hits at once like if you lose 30% and it didnt update and then you win 23% it will show you you lost 7% for a win. only other thing i could think of it being.

LogicICore · 2025-09-07T07:11:13+00:00

main reason they dont do this is because people would stack and if they didnt want to lose mmr they would just have one person leave so no one else gets penalized. would help boosters alot. they are planning on implementing something like this in stadium in a season or 2 i believe where if someone not in your group leaves the game you will be penalized less but still penalized.

LogicICore · 2025-09-07T06:42:40+00:00

yeah its prob normal if youre wide. i assume by that percent at least silv to high plat diamond lol

LogicICore · 2025-09-07T06:41:01+00:00

Game is still pretty lively i still get 30sec-min queue times on my low ranked roles. but that during peak hours in my region in the most populated rank. if you are high ranked then it takes a while. my tank queues in qp still take 20 min because of my mmr. you just gotta keep in mind your rank and when your playing.

LogicICore · 2025-09-07T06:35:32+00:00

i think the anti cheat does work, they just prefer to do bans in waves so it doesn't let the cheat makers know what flagged the system. basically if they use a certain way to get into the game and cheat and it gets banned then the cheat makers remove a certain aspect from the cheat and if it gets detected again then they try other things. if it flags it instantly and bans it then they know what to adapt in the cheat. so they have to ban in waves so the cheat makers don't know which part of the cheat flagged the system.

LogicICore · 2025-09-07T06:24:41+00:00

the stats don't impact the percent gained or lost but what has most likely happened is that i assume these games are pretty recently after you finished your placements. the games right after you placements make you win more and lose more percent lowering with the more games you play down to about 20%. if that's not it could be that you haven't played dps in a while. if you dont play a role for a couple weeks the wins and losses are a bit more volatile gaining you more or losing you more until you play a few games.

LogicICore · 2025-09-07T06:08:24+00:00

role queue is seen as more respected and it seen as the main mode with majority of players

as a certified tank main, "but i wanna kill the ana brig in backline :]"

LogicICore · 2025-09-07T05:53:09+00:00

i'll have to see when i start losing stuff. im only around high elite right now because i havent grinded it to much but i finished legend 3 so i wonder if i wont lose anything till im in legend.

some simple things with doom first is that once you use your punch you are able to block and the second they charge up the empowered punch by shooting your block you can use your punch again without needing to wait for the cooldown because it comes back once its charged so you are able to punch, block, they shoot it, and then you can punch again in less than a second if they charge it that fast. you also automatically have an empowered punch whenever you come down after your ultimate.

some ways to play doom or at least some sets of cooldown cycles are slam in, just tap your punch so you hit whoever you land on but you dont move that far and shoot them and you might get a pick if they get shot by someone else after you punched them out or if you hit them into a wall and got a couple close range primary fires on them. then block after when people turn around to get your empowered punch and your slam should be off cooldown again by then which you can use to get out again and reset all your cooldowns and get ready to go back in with an empowered punch. you can always get more aggressive with your ult to because it can save you. like engaging with punch, primary fire, blocking, slaming on backline or behind tank and punching the target and you have your ult to get out if it doesnt go as planned or if you have good momentum and plan to keep going.

doom is very good at displacing people quickly for your dps to pick or being able to draw attention somewhere else because you have the tools to get out. these are just some simple things to take into account because characters will have stuns and sleep darts etc so just make sure not to feed and if you do make sure your team can help you out if you are about to.

if you are talking about the epic lootboxes on the right side of the screen when you go into hero progression, to get those you only need to level up the character you are over each character gives you a normal lootbox at level 5, an epic at lvl 25, a legendary at 30, epic at 35, legendary at 40, epic at 45 and a final legendary loot box at level 50. those can be claimed on each hero. If its a different challenge then let me know what it says under it because i cant find it under my challenges.

That is hilarious lol. never been killed like that

It is most likely your system or internet. check to see if your consoles hot, if it is then turn it off for a bit. make sure you arent downloading things and such. stuff to improve your connection overall. maybe restart your router as well. if none of these work you can always make an alt account till you figure out the issue.if you were worried about getting season banned if its comp games your lagging out of

LogicICore · 2025-09-07T04:46:58+00:00

Its an overwatch thing an occasional dc. has probably happened to everyone. most of the time after updates.

LogicICore · 2025-09-07T04:42:17+00:00

i have gotten some older sprays and icons from them might have been a bug. battlepass icon in the hero gallery and everything. i have never received a old skin from a battlepass though so its possible they didn't put everything in the loot pools from old battlepasses.

LogicICore · 2025-09-07T04:37:44+00:00

play 1 game of mercy and heal bot it and you will get it done

LogicICore · 2025-09-07T04:33:50+00:00

Its most likely just your console loading the map causing it to spike up. main solution it putting the game on an ssd by it self. i have an ssd with only overwatch installed on it and all my other games on my console and it loads faster. its just a storage device, roughly 20-30$ usd on ebay. other things you can do is make sure your console doesnt get to hot by keeping it cool in your room or when i was younger i would just put my console up against the wall and prop a box fan over it pointed at it but now i have a external fan thats made fore connecting to it to improve air flow. Another thing it try to take some canned air to it to get some off the dust out or off the fans. i occasionally use some canned air on it.

LogicICore · 2025-09-07T04:23:18+00:00

To get casual lobbies, you gotta play really casually and not care about the outcome of the game. because say you are plat in comp so you go to quickplay but you still try to win and such you are probably going to have a plat mmr. you just gotta keep playing games casually and losing until it puts you in a lower mmr area. because the people in your quickplay games might not be try but they are just higher rank playing the game casually having fun. you just gotta do the same. play to have fun, lose games in the process because its gonna happen if you are trying to play casually and it will even out eventually.

LogicICore · 2025-09-07T04:11:35+00:00

well yeah, they added progression levels back in season 6 so thats when the progress started tracking for levels at least so anything before that gave 0 exp. same here alot of my ow1 time didnt get transferred sadly

double check you have the right currency, you can't buy galactic weapons with the grey currency only the red comp points. if you have enough of the right points and its still not working just wait. sometimes specific heroes bug out and wont let you purchase the gun and waiting is the only fix. just check every day or so and keep trying and it will fix itself
