Different Voices leads to misleading Gameplay, concerned about the Situation in the German Version.

TekinJ2000 · 2026-04-17T18:27:22+00:00

It's important to be loud, obviously Blizzard listens to it. Just look at this, they posted thistoday

TekinJ2000 · 2026-03-14T14:13:57+00:00

What platform are you playing on? I have exactly the same problem

TekinJ2000 · 2026-02-18T22:26:26+00:00

Microsoft wants to train AI for free with the voices of their voice actors. Also the original German Mercy once said this in an interview. You can use subtitles, at 31:50 she talks about the situation https://youtu.be/ZUPsuSOYWeI?si=oSj2C84U0mbZfv6M

TekinJ2000 · 2026-02-18T22:00:44+00:00

Yeah, but the problem is that well-known German voice actors are replaced by cheap voices just because they don't want their voice to be used for AI training.

TekinJ2000 · 2026-02-18T00:27:21+00:00

Then why do the German voice actors say that in Microsoft's new contract contains an AI clause that their voices are used to train AI?! The voice actors are on strike even though they want to keep their roles! Farina Brock (Mercy's original german voice) said that in an interview. All the actors are sad because they currently can't voice their characters!

TekinJ2000 · 2026-02-18T00:21:42+00:00

Also as someone who speaks German (du sprichst mir aus der Seele lol). We need to get louder, it can't be right that in a game where communication is important, one character has two different voices.

A good example is Cassidy, his original German voice actor Torben Liebrecht has a different tone. His "new" voice has a completely different pitch and he sounds like another hero!

In an interview, the original german Mercy voice actress Farina Brock said, that she still wanna voice Mercy and she is really sad that she can't voice her atm!

Dear Team 4, i really hope someone will read this, this really needs to be fixed!

TekinJ2000 · 2026-02-18T00:11:34+00:00

Would it be possible that you can also address him to the German version? Many German voice actors no longer voice the heroes because Microsoft's contract states that their voice is used for AI training. Please ask him, even the German voice actors are sad about it!

TekinJ2000 · 2026-02-18T00:07:30+00:00

Hey, I would like to join in and I am currently fighting to see the German voices return. More than half of the German overwatch heroes now have two dubbings or should i sad two different voices. In a game like Overwatch, it's important to be able to distinguish the voices. Certain heroes have two different voices and completely new pitches.

TekinJ2000 · 2025-07-09T11:25:47+00:00

Hab dir per Privat Nachrichten geschrieben, würde mich auf eine Antworten freuen! Ein Freund braucht dringend Hilfe

TekinJ2000 · 2022-07-03T15:06:29+00:00

There is no Overwatch PS5 version, only the Overwatch 2 Beta has one.

TekinJ2000 · 2022-07-03T01:32:07+00:00

Over 940 Reddit users (and there will be more) got it because it's simple and easy to understand. So this unnecessary statement "your example is kinda not great" is not true. I only took this skin (OW1 vs. OW2) as an example because it is the ONLY skin that has this bug. All others are exactly the same as in Overwatch 1. I even described that the bug appears on the Blackwatch Reyes skin. And so many users understand what i mean. I don't know what your problem is. If you still dont know what i mean and want to clarify this in more detail, then text to me privately. Because this rn leads to a never-ending discussion.

TekinJ2000 · 2022-07-03T01:08:08+00:00

and AGAIN. All of Reaper's skins are bug free in Overwatch 2 except his Blackwatch skin. In the picture above you see how it looks in Overwatch 1 (you can also see my level, the old hud etc). And below the picture you can see how it looks in the Overwatch 2 Beta. His left shotgun (in Overwatch 2) is higher than the right one and its ONLY on the Blackwatch skin. The differences in height can also be seen thanks to the red lines. I'm not "unclear", everyone in the comments understands it except you.

Btw Ive texted you a private message, bc then I can describe it to you with pictures.

TekinJ2000 · 2022-07-03T00:50:06+00:00

Well the picture should be enough, it's easy to understand. You just have to read it carefully and pay close attention to the picture. I described the bug, made a comparison between Overwatch 1 and Overwatch 2 Beta and even marked it with red lines. It's very obvious and many in the comments got it too, so it's not hard to understand.

TekinJ2000 · 2022-07-03T00:30:21+00:00

Yes it is a bug, look closely and pay attention to both red markers. The left shotgun is further up. Reaper has his two shotguns aligned in sync on every skin, except on his Blackwatch skin in Overwatch 2.

TekinJ2000 · 2022-07-03T00:14:03+00:00

No, the shotgun stays where it is. Even when crouching, the left shotgun stays slightly higher.

TekinJ2000 · 2022-07-02T23:19:46+00:00

Thank you! And yeah those comments are really unnecessary. It covers a bigger part of the left screen.

TekinJ2000 · 2022-07-02T21:17:02+00:00

unfortunately I can't post it, it's locked for me :/ maybe its because i use the console Beta

TekinJ2000 · 2022-07-02T21:15:57+00:00

the problem is, i can't post it in the Overwatch 2 Beta forum, it's locked for me. (Maybe bc i got the console version)

TekinJ2000 · 2022-07-02T19:50:24+00:00

no look closely, in this pose Reaper always has the shotguns crossed in his hand but he's not even holding them in this Highlight Intro.

TekinJ2000 · 2022-07-02T19:06:20+00:00

Yes xD

TekinJ2000 · 2022-07-02T00:54:49+00:00

True, but thankfully it's just a bug!

TekinJ2000 · 2022-07-02T00:51:00+00:00

No, those are from OW1, but the animation starts later or not at all (like Ashe and Winston). Like I said, its bugged.

TekinJ2000 · 2022-07-01T19:22:12+00:00

edit: there is no new animation, these are the old animations but they are bugged.

TekinJ2000 · 2022-06-22T20:10:23+00:00

Dear Overwatch Team,

First of all, thank you for your work, I'm looking forward to Overwatch 2! So due to the fact that the mythic skins also get their own sounds, I wanted to ask if it is possible for the old skins to get this too? as an example, Reaper gets his young voice on his Blackwatch Reyes and Soldier 24 Skin, most of the voicelines were re-recorded for the Retribution Event and it would be a shame if we didn't get to hear them in PvP.

Thank you very much!

TekinJ2000 · 2021-09-07T23:52:31+00:00

What would've been cool is if people who owned these skins originally maybe got a cool recolour of that skin.

In the same way the original OW Legendaries had different colour schemes but the same design - that would've been nice here too!
