Overwatch’s console version is facing serious balance <\/a><\/strong>issues due to some heroes not translating as well from PC as others.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Several redditors <\/a><\/strong>have also pointed out that patches are almost always centered around PC, with console gamers being treated like second-class citizens.<\/p>\n

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

This was the answer given by one of the Technical Support officers:<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

No news yet about OW making a Console forum.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
