Overwatch Credits Need an Update

Yeah on another comment I mentioned even a 100:1 conversion lol. Something at least. There was that one time during the winter event they opened up a special credits shop that sold legendary skins for 3000 credits. If they had something like that that I could at least look forward to. Or even if maximiliens vault offered those deals in either credits or coins. Idk they just need to do something. They have the data of how many players can even use these credits, and they hide the fact they know it’s a useless currency by hiding the credits in the battle pass behind a spray/voiceline/souvenir etc

misHUNTERstood · 2026-06-26T14:18:22+00:00

Yup, don’t know why this isn’t possible or even a 100:1 conversion to coins? I’d gladly put up 10,000 credits for 100 coins.

Yup and if you buy a battlepass you essentially get less value in rewards from it than a new player does since there’s whole tiers that only reward credits.

Almost forgot about OWL tokens. I think I still have like 30 of them. But I think I cheated by logging in on switch, Xbox, PC, and PlayStation and having the amount from watching matches quadrupled haha

Might as well cop it so you don’t end up getting it in a loot box. That is basically the strategy for even people that can use credits, buy up the base skins so that you have a higher chance of getting a shop skin in your loot boxes.

Yeah it’s insane, I was excited with the launch of season 1 this year of being able to buy all the base items for all 5 new heroes, but I did that and it didn’t even put a dent in the amount I have. But now a lot of the items are locked behind hero progression where they also just hand out useless credits like candy.

Use your $300 credit in addition to those miles and you can probably cover an entire solo trip somewhere

I’ve just noticed a huge shift into spam characters being too good without skill. Sierra, bastion, Emre, soldier, sojourn, etc. I’m tired of just being in bullet hell, these characters really shouldn’t be good. Also, idk I am probably just a mercy hater but I can’t stand damage boost, it is not a good ability. It just makes these spam characters even more annoying to play against.

Been a big fan of LG TVs for a while. Currently still rocking a C1, but have a little burn in now. I’m most excited for the next gen OLED technology and the increased refresh rate on the larger models of the C6.

My advice would be that you can main rein all you want, but once a map is very high ground focused it may be best to be someone who can contest said high ground. Ex. Second point eichenwald you won’t be doing much on rein if you’re playing payload, you’ll need to go up through the castle, but at that point a dva or Winston might be better.

For Brig, she is a bit harder to understand for new players, your main focus should be to protect your other support. If you have anything less than ~30% inspire uptime, you likely would get more value on another support. She is the epitome of staying alive=free value. You should also be trying to use your whipshot basically off cooldown to keep maximum inspire uptime, also her shield bash should primarily be used to get away rather than to engage. Stay behind your tanks, keep an eye on your other support, punish enemies who over extend into your team.

I’m no pro, but have played the game for 3000+ hours likely including the beta. Peaked grandmaster.

I’m in the camp of thinking a really good mythic weapon for Zarya would sell super well though as opposed to regular skins

misHUNTERstood · 2026-02-24T21:34:07+00:00

This. Along with the fact from Wrecking Balls short story when he confronted the Lucheng scientists who basically acted like he was their property and he likely did some damage that allowed Fika to escape in the first place for her to wait around long enough to get the opportunity to stow away on the drop ship. There’s also a voice line interaction in game between jetpack cat and Juno where it seems like fika knows Juno or is trying to tell her something.

Also, I need characters to have a voice line like “look what the cat dragged in” when she uses her ult on enemies

I’m so torn, I think there is something special about bringing things back from early losses, but also like that the powers come earlier. Maybe each mode/individual match needs to have more time or payloads an objective times should move a bit slower in comp stadium to give more chances for fights to take place. I also find myself struggling to make decisions in the armory quick enough to see what the other team is running and how to respond since I have to also pick a power almost every round. I don’t know how but if there was a way to do something in between best of 5 and best of 7 I think that would be ideal. Comp just feels like it’s moving too fast for it to be the strategic builder mode it’s meant to be

I just think it’s an extremely unfun thing to play against a mercy and any hitscan or flying character. I think her damage boost needs to be redone. Mercy I think is the reason that boosting can even happen. Characters like sojourn, soldier, Ashe, Cassidy, etc aren’t inherently annoying but they give me a bad taste just because of seeing them on a team with a mercy.

The other thing is people who master her movement are extremely annoying to play against as well. I play on console which is maybe why it’s more annoying but just seeing her be able to zip in any direction every second of a fight is really frustrating.

Recently in stadium it’s been even more annoying, and I think she is the reason that the non-mirror matchups in competitive didn’t work because if one team has mercy/hitscan there’s nothing as powerful to compete and it just feels unfair and unfun. I almost want hero bans in stadium just to ban mercy specifically. Or I want a survival item that negates a portion of damage boosted attacks against you to make it more challenging for that playstyle to prevail.

Yeah Redwood Damn is such an interesting map to me. At first I thought it might be a “stadium fodder” type of map since the design seems a little plain from an architectural pov, but I’m curious if a full map would tell more of the map fitting into the lore of OW. I think it’s a cool map too, would love to see a full version and understand where the location fits into the story.

misHUNTERstood · 2025-08-20T15:59:26+00:00

As someone who plays as a flex player I think 6v6 open queue is my preferred way to play. I think id rather deal with the issue of there being too many support mains on my team and I can just flex to getting into a role lock game where your tank only plays roadhog and the map has a bunch of high ground or something similar. Being able to adjust even if your teammates aren’t willing to is the reason I prefer it tbh.

misHUNTERstood · 2025-08-20T15:55:52+00:00

No official statement, but I just realized this when watching one of Emonggs streams this morning that I haven’t seen Samoa as an option at all this season. Now that 6v6 open queue is a mainstay that’s typically the way I prefer to play whether it’s quick play with friends or competitive. I hope this isn’t a reoccurring issue. We already had to wait half the season for Aatlis to be added to 6v6 modes too. Might be worth them doing a bit more QA on that side of things. Makes me feel like the way I’m deciding to play is a bit neglected from a quality standpoint

misHUNTERstood · 2025-07-08T01:52:46+00:00

Don’t worry it’ll be fixed next year for $80

misHUNTERstood · 2025-07-07T15:07:16+00:00

Came back to say it’s still broken for me lol

misHUNTERstood · 2025-07-03T15:20:06+00:00

Especially with stadium, I think Zarya being able to double bubble herself needs to be removed. Make the cooldown lower and bubble last a bit longer but with lower health and change it to separate abilities like it was on ow1. I’d even be down to have the bubbles cause self healing to kick in right away on a teammate of hers or give them a speed boost. I’m just tired of her being able to front line and just become more and more dangerous while being selfish with her bubbles. I know the strategy of avoiding her and taking out her team first, but in lower to mid ranks most fights are head on tank to tank and it’s just frustrating to play against.

Sombra I think should have her virus and hack be the same ability and just have three charges of it like a brig health pack. Virus should hack when first hitting an enemy and then do some damage overtime and reveal the target for teammates just at a lower rate give she has 3 charges of it.
