Anyone playing Overwatch 2?

I see still using Bahrain servers. I get around 139ms or so from JHB.

It's also Free to Play so should have a decent number of players.

@Yuu We smashing it tonight?

Tried it out tonight for the first time in a very long time. I suck horribly but still enjoyed it even though I didn't win one match so far lol.
 
What latency do you guys get in game?

I didn't check the latency but I didn't really experience much if any lag. I blame my poor performance solely on my crap fps skills

Around 155-160ms (measured in-game). Have you changed the client/server send rate?

Yes I changed it to no limit I think is that the setting?

My lowest in game was 136ms

Yeah so it's AWS Bahrain servers for me on both PC and Xbox one.

Apart from new maps and some hero changes (that could’ve been patches), is it really worth buying?

To buy?

It's free to play. They have the free content and then obviously just like any game now the battle pass thing where they will make money on.

Settings-Gameplay-Network and then mines only got an on/off option for limit client/server send rate (turned both of mine on). I swear I get better hit reg with it on

Ohh yes I switched mine off. Maybe I should leave it on. :unsure:

That might force you to EU only. Directly via ISP is AWS Bahrain if they have that. I don't know which ISP you are using anymore.

Okay same like me then. AWS Bahrain if you do direct without exitlag

Servers are actually full less than 1min wait time in all queues.

edit: Is it not an exitlag thing?

Ah cool ok. Spammed the crap out of the first one, but that was years ago when it first came out.

I maybe played a total of 3 hours of Overwatch. Want to get into Overwatch 2 now as it's similar to Paladins now which I enjoy actually.
 
No point in playing Tanks or Healers. They just get destroyed by the unbalanced damagers. So now I just play dmg all the time.

You clearly haven't run into a Junker Queen, Roadhog, or Reinhardt

How is your latency tonight?

After the update no more Bahrain servers for me and every 2nd or 3rd game I get dumped on a US server with 249ms
