Overwatch 2 Players Express Frustration with Teammates in New Clash Mode

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I must say that the latest addition to Overwatch 2, the Clash mode, has been a rollercoaster ride so far. The thrill of the new gameplay is undeniable, but it seems that some old habits die hard, especially when it comes to teamwork.


The start of Overwatch 2’s Season 12 has been turbulent. New character Juno has drawn criticism for being too powerful, fans are dissatisfied with Blizzard’s cosmetic choices, and regrettably, some have experienced unwanted harassment. However, the new Clash mode has been popular, although it appears that team interactions this season may be problematic.

Based on responses from players, it appears that they’re encountering difficulties in getting their teammates to work together for capturing the new points. This indicates that the overall gameplay might require some adjustments or improvements from Blizzard. Now, let’s explore how the Overwatch 2 community is reacting to the latest Clash mode.

Overwatch 2 Players Beg Teammates To Stay On The Point In Clash Mode

It appears that a significant portion of the dissatisfaction with Clash mode comes from players encountering difficulties in keeping their teammates focused on the objective, based on the feedback and concerns they’ve shared with Blizzard about improving it.

In a discussion on the Overwatch subreddit’s forum, one player expressed, “Please, everyone, focus on the objective in Clash.” This idea was generally agreed upon by many others who shared experiences of being isolated on the objective while their teammates aggressively pursued the enemy towards their spawn, consistently disregarding the main goal.

One commenter agreed, saying, “I was able to fully cap a point by myself while my team and the other team were fighting on the previous point. I kept waiting to be ganked, but it never came.”

One player commented, “I find it astonishing that other players seem unaware of the fact that the current point has reached its limit and a new one has been opened.” Similarly, many others, including myself, have observed that players in Clash often tend to be dispersed across the map instead of concentrating on the point as they usually do.

In simpler terms, a user on Reddit expressed, “I assumed I was the only one struggling. While I’m battling in the tank to hold down the fort, I glance back and realize that the rest of my team hasn’t even entered the room yet.”

Absolutely, we realize that adapting to a new game mode may require some time for players to get accustomed and discover the most effective tactics. But, it appears unusual for veteran players not to engage or even challenge the objective, which is typically expected. Interestingly, this issue seems less prevalent in competitive games as compared to quick play modes, suggesting that with more practice and experience, players will likely improve their skills in Clash during Season 12.
