Overwatch console players are being treated like second-class citizens

Overwatch’s console version is facing serious balance issues due to some heroes not translating as well from PC as others.

Torbjorn and Bastion are two of the biggest points of contention, as their turret abilities do not require as much fine-tuned aiming as some of the other heroes.

Several redditors have also pointed out that patches are almost always centered around PC, with console gamers being treated like second-class citizens.

In addition, console players have reportedly been assigned a trial Battle.net account, meaning they cannot post in either the general forums or report any bugs.

This was the answer given by one of the Technical Support officers:

If you do not have a PC license for OW you can’t post outside the Tech Support forums. All the Blizzard forums are set up that way, for the paid games. D3 has a special Console forum for their console players, but that, and Tech Support, are the only places they can post.

No news yet about OW making a Console forum.
