I had fun in most of my ctf games and just a few ended in a draw.I think it's a lot better than the deathmatch mode they have

Overwatch Developer 'Objects' to Use of Mouse and Keyboard on Console


Turns out console players are hooking up mice and keyboards to wreck other console players in Overwatch. How does Blizzard react?

"The Overwatch team objects to the use of mouse and keyboard on console," Overwatch game director and Blizzard VP Jeff Kaplan said in a post on the game's official forums. Kaplan went on to note that the studio has already reached out to Microsoft and Sony and "expressed [its] concern" with players using "input conversion devices" to enable mouse and keyboard play on Xbox One and PS4.

"We have lobbied and will continue to lobby for first-party console manufacturers to either: Disallow mouse and keyboard and input conversion devices or openly and easily support mouse and keyboard for ALL players," he added.

Option 2 ain't happening because that defeats the point of there being consoles in the first place. Which leaves a batshit insane option to exclude certain perepherials from consoles, that is being lobbied by a batshit insane game director in order to make Overwatch players feel inclusive.

Exclude to include.

Let that sink in for a minute.

Why can't they just patch the console version of Overwatch so that it doesn't allow using a mouse and keyboard?

Because you dont actually plug mouse and keyboard into the console, you use a 3rd party peripheral that translates your KB + M inputs into gamepad inputs.

Because they can't?In consoles developers don't just release a patch they give it to sony/ms and they pass a certification process and then the patch goes live,I doubt sony/ms will allow them to ban people from using hardware in their consoles unless they decide to do it themselves and if they do it will likely be for all similar games and not just fo Overwatch

Well that's why he said he's lobbying... That post is just a PR stunt to throw the blame at sony and microsoft (in this particular case it should probably be there).
The issue with those devices is that aim assist is still on. If consoles would offer proper mouse support then at least devs could disable assist when using mouse.

People still would get these peripherals that register as gamepad just to cheat with the aim assist, its impossible to "ban" them in any way.

So then... buy the fucking peripheral and be competitive

use the controller and suck.

As a console peasant I have no issues with this.

This reminds me of dudes that would paint a dot on the middle of their screen so they could be 1337 with sniper rifle in AvP 2 because it had no crosshair, but still had perfect accuracy. Something similair occured in Americas Army and CS back in the day.
Some people will hang on any advantage they can get to be "the best"

While I love watching Overwatch videos of WTF moments and cool Plays of the Game, I can't stand one moment of Jeff Kaplan's voice.

Season 4 changes: https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/blog/20580588

  • Rank Decay - Players above 3000 must complete seven games per week in order to avoid decay. They can either do them once a day, or seven in one session to reach their minimum requirements.
  • Ranks below 500 - Players with SR below 500 will no longer have their rank displayed.
  • Top 500 - Only players in the Top 500 at the end of the season will receive Top 500 end-of-season rewards.
  • CP Respawns - If the attackers outnumber the defenders on a contested control point, defenders will get an increased respawn timer (up to a max value) until the attackers capture the point, or the defenders regain control.
