After a really tough launch week, Overwatch 2 appears to be lastly discovering its legs. Big points corresponding to server stability, SMS authentication, and automated pores and skin purchases have been improved, fastened, or are within the means of getting adjusted. However, there are nonetheless tons of particular person points with Overwatch 2 characters which have gone unaddressed. Some of them are irritating. Others are hilarious, and I hope that Blizzard by no means fixes them.

Understandably, Blizzard is focusing its sources on addressing the foremost errors that have an effect on the broadest swath of gamers. And I’ll eat my sneakers if their QA testers hadn’t already caught most, if not all of those main bugs earlier than launch. But it nonetheless would have been good if Blizzard at the least acknowledged a few of these gameplay points on their pinned submit of recognized bugs and points. So as an alternative of discovering out from Blizzard, I discovered them on social media. Let’s go over them.

Damage-dealer Mei can create an ice wall, which she will use for canopy or to platform her option to larger constructions. Unfortunately, leaping on high of those constructions in Overwatch 2 will trigger her to rubber band. For these not within the know, rubberbanding refers to a lag that happens between the sport server and your native software program. This may give the impression {that a} character is teleporting immediately from one location to a different. Overwatch gamers have been importing movies of Mei teleporting immediately on high of her ice wall after a short delay. Players have additionally discovered that her wall behaves inconsistently. It permits her to fall out of bounds, and Mei gamers have reported having the ability to part by it.

Since Mei is a much less common character, followers really feel slighted by Blizzard’s unwillingness or incapability to repair her capacity earlier than launch. The bug felt particularly disappointing as a result of her previous freeze capacity had been eliminated, which was an essential facet of her play type.

Bastion mains alternatively, are having the time of their lives. Within the span of his final capacity, he means that you can spam artillery at his opponents once you proper click on very quick. The buff will doubtless be nerfed within the close to future. For now, Bastion mains will nonetheless have the ability to rain terror on their opponents.

There’s additionally been different unresolved points outdoors of gameplay. Ashe gamers report that she T-poses when sitting or carrying a particular pores and skin, although it’s doable that sitting on the whole is bugged proper now. And Cassidy’s victory pose seems to be much more suggestive when he’s twirling the air as an alternative of his pistol. It’s much less that any one of many points is catastrophic than it’s that, alongside the opposite large points and a extra sparse recreation general (like within the post-match outcomes, or the variety of maps which can be gone now), it’s left some gamers calling Overwatch 2 extra of an “early access” or unfinished expertise than anticipated. Even minor particulars, just like the UI, are being picked aside for not being completely flush proper now. Other points, like gamers getting booted from video games or having their recreation crash solely after incomes achievements, have persevered since final week.

Sit tight: Blizzard will doubtless get to character-specific bugs as soon as it’s completed with placing out server-wide fires or bugs that have an effect on each participant within the recreation. For now, we are able to nonetheless chortle at Overwatch 2 gamers getting completely obliterated by Bastion’s infinite missiles.
