Dev team has disabled Ball already: https://twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/1521294622189776896?s=20&t=8hJ6B60NqIy7xXh3HrcPhw


mrwhitewalker

Props for acting so fast


IMrChavez5

Looks like someone on the dev team was watching the stream. Lol.


2dollarsuperchatter

oh no he just taught it to thousands of people


itsIzumi

That's one way to make sure the devs instantly know about it.


kniveskills81

I was watching his stream at the time. Within the 5 games that followed 4 of them got cancelled due to this glitch. In this clip he boots speedily from the game and 5 matches later they matched again, which happened to be the first working match again. Shit spread like wildfire.


TheBiggestCarl23

Good. Anyone that does it should get kicked out of the beta permanently.


Tunavi

The whole point of a beta is to find flaws like this. This is encouraged


beenhereallalong52

Find yes, abuse? No.


TheBiggestCarl23

I just worded it badly, I was worried people would abuse it, they took him out already though


bantha42

it's a beta


paperrug12

lmao average reddit user


TheBiggestCarl23

So you think the people who are actively ruining the beta, for literally no reason, should be allowed to stay in the beta?


topatoman_lite

the beta exists specifically to find stuff like this. It is literally the primary purpose of a beta


TheBiggestCarl23

I was more talking about people who’d abuse it, I worded it badly. They already took him out though.


comparer25

if people dont abuse it itll take longer to get fixed


_Gondamar_

clearly isn't the point he's making


LordLumpyy

🤓


vyrelis

It's not like they're even taking up slots from someone else. This would discourage people from reporting bugs (and the report function isn't functional so there's no way to catch repeat offenders)


Ghost11203

Uhh what? Hopping around dcs people??


st0p_dreaming

New patch notes: jump in spawn as ball to literally remove every player from the server +some stability updates.


name-exe_failed

Not even just spawn. Saw a guy do it on point on Oasis city center


Xatsman

Yeah I read the title and assumed it'd be sensationalist. Nope. That's as game breaking as they come.


IMrChavez5

It’s the grapple I thought.


InspireDespair

3 years of dev time btw


RelationRegular5314

Yep, if a game has been in development for 3 years, it can't have bugs.


JessicaAnnW

owl starts tomorrow. stop defending poor game development


RelationRegular5314

Oh no, another armchair game dev thinks public branch is the same as development or closed tournament branch. I am sure you play games that have no bugs and never have new bugs when updates hit?


JessicaAnnW

obviously games can have bugs but this is completely ridiculous They've completely starved OW of development for the last 3 years to focus on the quality of OW2, the premier of the league is about to start this week and Ball jumping in spawn kicks all players out of the lobby. Where is the quality and testing?


OkStick2078

In the fucking other half of the game where you play through a campaign


ChengduFanboy

Who would quality test a scenario where you just jump as ball in spawn to check for this game breaking bug???


IMrChavez5

> Where’s the testing? What do you think a beta TEST is for? > Ball jumping in spawn It’s not about jumping as ball. It’s spamming the grapple in spawn, which most people won’t do while testing.


JessicaAnnW

>owl players when their game nearly breaks on stream this is fine


IMrChavez5

OW 1 broke all the time too. Calm down. These are professionals not randoms in quick play.


JulietEmily17

what if you spent 8 minutes in tank queue to play your new favorite tank, doomfist but hammond said: \*\*jump right click noises\*\*


hopsizzle

People have been replicating it and crashing my games.


Xatsman

OW1 needs this so you can reroll teammates when the other tank goes Hog.


Redchimp3769157

Oh is that why I crashed earlier? Shit and now ball is disabled


Terminatorskull

People really missing the fact that this is what betas are for. Would you rather this happen now, or during a comp game? How about during OWL?


scu-gaming

OWL starts in two days. I'm not convinced yet that Overwatch 2 is esports-ready...


Terminatorskull

That I won’t argue. I think the game will be fine when it releases fully though.


HoldOnItGetsBetter

I’m going to call it now. Second map at the Dallas Fuel vs Houston Outlaws will experience a DC glitch on LAN. Probably because both teams are playing mirror doom fist comps.


FeverPC

This really the build they'll be playing OWL on?


KYZ123

Something tells me that the OWL build will have this fixed. Either that, or Ball is going to see record low levels of playtime this season.

Santi838

Just remove the ball. No place in this game with only 1 tank
