[Update]: The issue has now been fixed. Control maps are no longer a 40 minute "waste of time" in ranked mode.

Overwatch's Competitive Mode has only come out a couple of days ago, and unfortunately

Overwatch was seemingly destined to become a massive success even before it officially launched. The free Open Beta housed more than 10 million players, and if that wasn't ridiculous enough, Blizzard

Overwatch's ranked mode recently entered public testing, and while the majority of its features have received nothing but praise, the Sudden Death mechanic has garnered a fair bit of negative criticism.

Overwatch's Game Director Jeff Kaplan recently discussed the team's plans for the competitive mode, and most interestingly, how they aim to award those that participate. As of right now, the primary reward behind the

While you're having fun in a massive shootout with eleven other people you probably won't even spare a single thought for the matchmaking system that made all of it possible, but its something that Blizzard has spent an absolutely insane amount of time with, and its still not

After spending years watching Blizzard do one boneheaded move after another, always completely silent while doing so, its rather refreshing to see Jeff Kaplan, the Game Director behind Overwatch, come out and personally deliver news about the upcoming features. If there ever was a way to ...

 You have to hand it to Blizzard, they are a tenacious bunch. Despite starting off with a rather shaky foundation, to put things lightly, they've managed to slowly turn Diablo 3 around and eventually transform it into something wonderful. The expansion helped, naturally, but every single update

After being announced about a week ago the first update for Overwatch has suddenly appeared, even though it was originally slated for late "June". I can only imagine how lopsided Widowmaker's stats were in the hands

There is a rather interesting phenomena happening in Overwatch right now. As a player's skill in the game increases their undying hatred shifts from one hero to another, and without a fault, its always the same few candidates. The beginners hate Bastion and Torbjorn, slightly better players

Jay Wilson, Diablo 3's former game director and decade-long veteran at Blizzard, has announced that he is officially leaving both the company, and the gaming industry in general next week.

As noted on Twitter, he's not leaving Blizzard due to any issues within the company, but rather

As I mentioned in my review, McCree is by far the most powerful character in all of Overwatch given that he is useful in almost every situation, but also utterly devastating to anyone that dares do such

After spending a thousand hours in Team Fortress 2 and more than I'm comfortable to admit in other team-based shooters I've become rather difficult to impress, and since almost all of the recent multiplayer gun-fests have been fairly boring I slowly started getting used to the idea that the

I don't know about you, but ever since Overwatch released I was itching for a proper competitive mode, a place where everyone would play to the best of their abilities, and where four Hanzos per team were something you laughed about, rather than something you had to endure.

If you

With only one day left before the release of Overwatch Blizzard has decided to put the hype-train into overdrive and release the final animated short, for now anyway.

While the classic Blizzard animation quality is present within this one as well, its scope and overall themes are a lot

Blizzard came out earlier this month and said that almost 10 million players found their way into the Overwatch Open Beta, and in total managed to spent around 81 million hours roaming its 12 maps. That's 8

You would think that simply knowing Overwatch launches on the 24th would be enough, but Blizzard has gone a step ahead and detailed their whole release schedule down to the very minute, a move that's most likely going to save them a whole lot of sleep as Overwatch fans have proven to be

Warlords of Draenor has been removed from the Battle.Net store, meaning that everyone who already owns World of Warcraft (or buys the base game in the future) will have access to all of the expansions and content up to Legion.

Naturally, this doesn't mean you can play World of Warcraft

Continuing on with the Blizzard tradition of releasing amazing pieces of animation, the latest Overwatch short has finally arrived and it tells the story of two of my favorite characters, Genji and

While I knew Overwatch would be big, it being a Blizzard game after all, I'll be the first one to admit that I didn't expect it to catch on this rapidly.

But catch on it did, and throughout its excruciatingly 'short' run-time Overwatch had managed to snag ...

I spent over a thousand hours with Team Fortress 2, but as it grew progressively more ridiculous and characters started strapping bottles of questionable liquids and live weasels to themselves I slowly realized that the once stylish and charming game I knew had been replaced with something...
