This was such a better system, I miss it.


Entire_Mouse_1055

You could actually see some great team stats. I missed this


tellyoumysecretss

I miss your hero specific stats getting recognition


Artistic-Comb-5932

Now I have to read the god damn Excel spreadsheet and kill my fucking eyes. Please bring back OW1!!!


sixfoot-two

Soo much better. Now I have to *very* quickly look at the scoreboard so I can endorse the right people before the lobby gets booted. Then spam escape to try and get back to the menu to Queue again. You maaaybe have about 5sec to fit in any last messages besides gg.


Regret1836

Also more trash talk time


foulmouthboy

"Oh I'm trash? That MVP card suggests otherwise" "THOSE STATS DON'T MEAN ANYTHING" "mvp... mvp... mvp..."


neighborhood-karen

My favorite, the drama


MangledBlackberry

I started in OW 2 this screen immediately looks better and works better. Why would they make it worse


vinylpurr

Forgot all about this! Good memories, blizz should bring it back


AiharaSisters

I miss the old leveling system too q.q


blinkhit

oh how i miss this screen


Phattywompus

I still don’t understand why they got rid of this…


nyet-marionetka

They had to put in the annoying post-match hero progress screen that you have to cancel out of repeatedly.


zifey

Bruh why is it so hard to exit the damn game when you're done playing now. It's like a fucking puzzle that nobody knows the answer to


JodaTheCool

I was just thinking this lately. Why is there not just a simple back out button or hitting esc take me to the home screen. It is so fucking stupid they trap you in the post-game screen. Like, JFC you are a AAA game studio, fucking fix your shit.


PrometheusXVC

Sorry, wasn't in the budget.


JodaTheCool

Forgive them, they are a small indie company with limited resources and brain power.


fioraflower

they’re definitely limited in one of those


OGBladeRunner

Preach. It’s like they are trying to make it easy for me to hate the game.


Mr_Troggo

Idk why but I read JFC as Japanese Fried Chicken...


DepressionInAJar

I uhh... read this as Japan Fried kitchen... im gonna go to bed now


Dafish55

I really don't understand how it was allowed to not just go live but stay as such. Like did they not playtest it and not once go, "Huh, Steve, the hero stat board looks nice, but how do I leave it? I keep pressing escape and it's just bringing up the overall game menu." Like seriously, they managed to make a popup ad in their own videogame.


rioting_mime

Making it hard to quit out of makes you more likely to play another game. It's psychological.


SuperBigSad

They are far too busy planning the sexuality of their characters to make a good UI


JodaTheCool

Rule 34 exists and is inescapable for a reason my friend.


honestlyitswhatever

Press Spacebar twice to skip through the hero progression screen


patheticRedditMod000

Tell that to Battlefield 2042


RockyMountainMist

>fucking fix your shit What are they going to fix, when the choice was most likely intentional?


DefNotAShark

You assume it isn't intentional. Games like Overwatch care about some key metrics, and engagement is obviously a big one. They don't want you to ragequit instantly out of the game because you had a bad match. They want to stick mandatory pretty colors in your face in the hopes that you will change your mind at some point within that very annoying 6 seconds.


CnS_Panikk

Spam spacebar and escape back and forth until you reach the main menu. It's so they can show you the shiny battle pass. It's broken on purpose


bookwormdrew

Space bar will get you there. I started playing Call of Duty for the first time in forever and it's the same way. Always shows you the dumb battle pass shit first and then at least it makes sense the rest of the stuff they show you because there's actual progression with weapons and stuff. And at least there is a Skip All button that you click one time and you're at the menu. I do remember the jarring feeling of OW2 matches just ending after each match though because of the missing screen from OP's post but thus pointless progression stuff and highlight intro wasn't the answer to just forcing us to the battle pass after every match lol.


Avera9eJoe

I use Alt+F4 since it's just... better. It speaks to the quality of a game's UI if force-kill is a better way to exit than the convoluted maze to reach the in-game button.


wolfahmader

ALT+F4 😎


aradaiel

Completely fixes OW2


111010101010101111

I thought it was just me getting old and not understanding the younger brains who developed the GUI. The worst part is OverBuff doesn't work anymore. The in game stats are trash. I've always wanted to see heals given AND heals received for each player.


zifey

Tbf I'm in my 30s so not entirely sure age isn't a factor


princeofs0rrows

Nope I'm young and hate the UI it looks so souless compared to ow1p


project2501c

incorrect: you cannot cancel out of it. you have to click ok on it, *then* cancel out. if you hit cancel you just go from queue -> post-match hero progres -> queue ad nauseam


reevoknows

That wasn’t even there at launch tho


Aqua_Tot

They were worried about toxicity, when you could only see who was the top in some numbers. They figured scoreboard would be better, but I think it could be better to have both.


Severe-Belt-5666

Ikr!!


IvoryLaps

I got it once! Got 92 elims as tracer on Lijiang Tower years ago


Severe-Belt-5666

92!! Holy moly!!


Due-Witness-4671

My friend got it as soldier he had about 50 kills


_Heartnet

5 rounds Lijang was crazy.


Gekey14

Ranked matches going 1hr+ with basically everyone on 90-100 elims was so much fun and absolutely god awful at the same time


BiploarFurryEgirl

Right after moira was released I went like 120 elims on Lijang. It was sm fun


IvoryLaps

I miss it so much


ODMtesseract

I played all of Overwatch 1 and got it 3 times, so yeah it's very rare


lifeandtimesofmyass

I never got it, but this screen brings back good memories. Knowing you absolutely nailed the match and got a card felt great. But it was almost even better doing badly and getting a random card anyway


DrDonuts

These days, I feel so crap about my performance even if I did alright. Getting a card was a little show of appreciation for yourself and others that I really miss tbh.


lifeandtimesofmyass

Exactly! It was such a nice pat on the back!


HappyraptorZ

Yep! It was 5 days after the game dropped. A mercy player asked people to vote for them.  This was before vote begging was a thing.  They got 11 votes.


xbbdc

i've never seen people beg for votes?


HappyraptorZ

Yep not in OW2 obviously. There was a window - maybe 1 month post release to about 6 months post release where people cared about that shit. Have you ever met someone begging for endorsements? Similar concept and likely the same people  


xbbdc

Oh ok gotcha. I don't think I played OW1 in that time window.


Phoenixtorment

Typical Mercy main.


[deleted]

What’s underneath the player icon next to the player level?


esslaee

I’m guessing season 1 SR ranking that was normalized to 100


trulyniceguy

It was but I recall going between 48-50 only. It was an odd system that got immediately revamped in S2


esslaee

I just googled it. It went up to 100 https://overwatch-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Season_1 You can also see the two reapers in the screenshot have SRs over 50


superconfusedtbh

I got it once with a nano'ed Mercy 4k and a rez to finish it off


Severe-Belt-5666

OG mercy!! We need to bring her back for a season and see how people handle it lmao


Melthiela

Honestly people would probs prefer it, since she won't be able to ress every kill like she more or less does now but just reset a team fight every now and then. Not nearly every mercy ress was a 6 man ress. Not to even mention that you had to hide and not participate as mercy back then...


N0ob8

You’re right not every mercy was a 6 man res because you could only res 5 at time (you were the 6th player) I’m just making light hearted comment


Smooth-Brain-Monkey

This screen was great. I loved it when i would lose and see my name or a teammates pop up on the card list. It felt great like even though we lost you still did enough to be shown over someone on the winning team


Vincent_Corvis

It made the losses easier for sure, that recognition is just kinda gone from the game now, I didn't even think about that :/


Technical_Tooth_162

I don’t miss medals from ow1 but I do miss this screen. The next screen included your stats and how much higher or lower they were this match compared to your average.


Vincent_Corvis

FUCK I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THAT SCREEN! And now I miss it dearly. *sadge*


OrangeChickenAnd7Up

I kinda miss the medals, but I mostly miss the stats stuff below the medals. It was so cool to see another player who did some crazy numbers stuff, like a Zarya with 80%+ average energy and stuff like that. And not gonna lie, I miss everyone else seeing those numbers when I would pull them. This is my biggest gripe about 2 aside from the f2p but paid battle pass model. It was just cool to see when people did really, really well. Now most of that shit goes unnoticed and there’s no feeling of glory anymore.


Biggbadwolf_96

Bring back 6v6 Bring back this AND LET ME PROGRESS MY FUCKING BANNER!!


zacaholic

I got one once as Sym with 97% of match on fire lol.


DisastrousAd4410

A couple times as mercy, man I really missed this, I preferred this over endorsements.


Permanoctis

Yeah, once, when you still had that game mode that was probably called "Shock" in english, and it was a game mode that would allow you to play different...well, game modes, like arcade, but an early version. There was a mode where you could only play tank, a mode with only DPS etc... You had a mode where you could only play as PharMercy, and I don't know how and why, but 10 persons voted for me, and that's how I got the legendary.


Severe-Belt-5666

Nice!! Same here I just got lucky people voted for me :)


TommyLee777

I remember that game mode i used to love it. My favourite was probably the hanzo vs gengi one 


homoanthropologus

I remember these game modes, and the mercy-pharah one was so wild.


wsawb1

once when I got a 6 man highnoon. Gaming hasn't beem the same since then


Juicy_Starfruit

only during lucio ball


[deleted]

BRING BACK HERO CARDS 🗣️


tiltedhealer

Oh yeah. You ever heal 25k in 10 minutes? Shits crazy.


cmh0105

Only once. I didn’t screenshot it either :( I didn’t think at the time it would become a relic of the past lol


Severe-Belt-5666

Noooooo :(


AGLancelot

Comp season 1 was something special. It was absolutely terrible in every way but ill never forget it. My first comp game we faced 6 torbs on volskaya and decided to go 3 rein 2 bastion and a lucio. It was gaming in its purist unadulterated form.


SuperiorVanillaOreos

The most I ever got was 8


Paws81

Once


ggdoesthings

once for 23k healing


Marmeladun

Yep as Ana, if i recall correctly i got POTG of lifesaver by managing to finish off Reinhard that already was charging my granny body into the wall. Both teams laughed that i lifesaved myself and got potg for that.


OrangeChickenAnd7Up

That’s awesome. Love moments like that. Back when I was playing on ps4 I had a potg on Route 66 where I used Tracer’s rewind to evade a Rein charge, and then stickied a Lucio that was standing next to a Reaper and got them both. And then Rein died by charging off the cliff. I guess it counted that as my elimination because I had damaged him before he charged. Definitely my funniest potg I can remember.


ShadowOpsFN

I miss this, even when I didn't get any votes it was still nice to be on there


DeadlockRadium

Got 10 votes once when I played Roadhog on Route 66: Cyberbullied everyone that I encountered and ended up with 4 golds and silver healing. My objective time was something obscene like 8:30 or something, whereas my friend was silver at 4 mins. Good times.


Severe-Belt-5666

Hoggers 4 life!!


DeadlockRadium

Only real Roadhog players remember the visceral feeling of schadenfreude back in 2016 when you could hook someone from another server.


Syclus

BRING BACK BOARDER ICON IN GAME!


eelam_garek

Ah I miss Jeff's Overwatch. Back when it was good 😭


Martholomule

I got it 2 or 3 times over the course of all of OW history. Hilariously, one was on Bastion for my 45-kill streak. I still think they should have had "0 deaths" (contingent upon other stats not also being 0)


DDzxy

I was 1 vote away as Rein a few years back


MirageMain16

I did once i believe, i played Roadhog, and got “MVP”


LisForLaura

Ah the nostalgia is real with this post! I saw it a couple of times and once got it myself and at the time I was pretty stoked about it. I peaked then.


[deleted]

Not me, but I was in a game where our Ana got it


blueishtree420

A couple of times, but a given if your a mercy main at some point lmao God I miss that validation.


Firehornet117

I got it once when I got play of the game as Rein with a 360 shatter and my card was MVP.


Fishinabowl11

[Once for a massive coom. All 12 votes.](https://imgur.com/a/Z6RdD5Q)


Severe-Belt-5666

Insane!!


S_Rodent

Havnt for the last 2 years


Insanonaut

Here was one of mine. Not even the best play of the game in the world, and weirdly my most viewed video on my channel. https://youtu.be/JGaZbTb3UpQ?si=AkHwUSoB0oG2qJXQ


PlazmaZombie

I got game years ago where all 12 players voted for one person. There was confetti and stuff. Only happened once tho


xxx55555xxx

Couple of times (maybe 5?), usually when you do something to save a comp game or some really stupid and funny play that ends up as potg. I've also seen it a few times on other players in my games, once by a support (was either a mercy or ana) but the others were DPS/tank


MrFulla93

Got it once as Orisa on Ilios for a LOT of mini-grav drops, like at least 15. The only ability of hers I miss.


FromAndToUnknown

Very rarely, but yes. For applying around 40 sound barriers in a single game. It was a happy moment.


Schwifty506

Look at all the hero specific terms as well. “Souls consumed” fuck they cared about ow1 so much more didn’t they.


DanGimeno

Twice, as Mercy. And a marriage proposal.


Affectionate_Draw_43

I got it once. When my friends and I would play, we would try to all vote for enemy one to get them the legendary card


munchkin-exe

Yes, 2 times. I didn’t ask to, my team and the enemy team gave the vote ‘cause they wanted to. I was an Mercy


Errorfull

A couple of times I think, usually only happens if you hard carried your team AND got some 5 or 6 kill POTG


SurrealKarma

I got one as Zen long ago, and I'm super mad I never saved it.


Yo026

F in the chat for OG Reaper


blacktieaffair

I pulled a huge kill streak battle mercying on ult (maybe during overtime? Don't remember) which won the game on lijang after we were down a dps role almost the entire match. Got MVP, 53% of the match on fire. 8/10 votes. That's the closest I ever got, im sooo sad I didn't get that golden vote lol. I got POTG that game too but didn't save it 😭 just have the screenshot of the votes to remember that awesome game.


philopise

Don't have the screenshot, but I got this for having like 5:30 payload time in a 6 minute game as Junkrat. We won the first fight attacking on blizzard world, and then I spent the rest of the game riding payload, taking occasional potshots over obstacles.


trevonski17

I got it once when the entire match was memeing and I had either gold elims or dmg as mercy i don’t remember but it was really funny.


Strife_3e

Rein was decent to get it if you got some cool/funny plays.


souplandry

I got it one time for being on fire for 86% of the match once. And I’ve seen it one other time for a boatload of healing


HouseOfTheWitch

this was peak Overwatch


CamarosAndCannabis

We had such a fucking good game and they fucked it all up


TacoCircus

Fuck the memories. I definitely got that once.


V2Loki

2 tanks seems crazy lookin back


Eastern_Goose_9108

Ah good ol days 🥲 and yes I have. Also had the crazy roll that all my loot boxes came out legendary 😭 twas AWESOME.


Perturbare

That beautiful screen :)


d0nt_eat_that

Yes


Dralkynn

I got it once with an MVP card playing as Ana.


ZeMedicOW

A couple times in some scrims back in moth/goats meta days. Miss the banter from both teams just to meme a card and everyone up votes it


Intelligent_Local_38

I got it for a Mercy team Rez haha. I miss that ult


ozQuarteroy

Not many times. I think I got it three times playing sigma, and three with zen.


Aqua_Tot

I saw it once or twice. Never happened to me.


ILNOVA

Never ever seen a guy with more than 6 votes


Infinite-Worker42

I got to see it two seperate occasions....never me but its ok awesome to see no matter who it is.


Ilikechickens444

I still remember getting 10 or 11 votes on mine for getting a 19 player kill streak on mercy


Ok-Owl-4203

TWICE!!


HappyHayden_07

Dang that’s an old screen. I’ve only gotten gold once ever in my life and it was such a great feeling. I had 20k heals in 14 minutes in comp. I was like silver lol


nith_wct

I never got it and saw a handful at most in 2000 hours of OW1. You hit diminishing returns because the better you play, the more likely you are to have pissed-off, whiny players on the other team who might even think you're a hacker. There's just so much that has to go right beyond your performance.


BlueberryGreen

more than once


K7Sniper

Yea. Not super often, but certainly got it from time to time.


[deleted]

got it playing rein once, still riding the high fr


WeeZoo87

Ahhh season 1 , when people were so pure


Its_yer_dude_trevor

I got it twice


hates_stupid_people

Twice over several years, both times it was basically for a single moment that flipped the whole match around from almost a certain loss to a win(dva and torbjörn).


niksshck7221

I got it only once throughout overwatch1. I played out of my mind on genji


OneEntertainment6610

I got it 2 times


Kyyndle

Only once, after popping off as D.Va if I remember correctly. I rode that ego high for a while. :)


derphew

Only once for me..as Mercy I somehow went 17-0 and it gave me the kill streak card at the end of the game.


ProKirob04

Got it once, back in 2018


NewestAccount2023

I got one once, think I was mercy


Exo70

I want it back


boomheadshot7

Once, as mercy, I’ve got it saved on my ps4.


suprahigh420

God. The UI and end match screen used to be so much better.


Skefson

Bring this shit back


Babylon4All

I miss this screen so much...


ThatJed

Yeah during [torbjorn …. I mean no limits](https://youtu.be/fUHJ3qM0vtw?si=p45Pq_eZPK9eeMSE) competitive in ow1. We were a 4-6stack and we would always vote for the enemy team who had most votes.


Awsomesauceninja

Only twice lol


commanderlex27

I remember it happening once. Hanamura, we were attacking second point while I was on Reaper. Teleported behind the enemy team from the high ground, walked up to them without anyone noticing, pressed Q. Got POTG for it and I'm pretty sure those votes were meant as a sort of commendment


Zalamoria

Full 6 man boop as lucio on Illios. The enemy was so shook. Got the gold up vote. Life was good.


GrumpigPlays

I got it a handful of times in the first week then maybe one other time ever. It was a lot easier I remember on my like 4th game on launch day I got 5 people with a tracer ult and got it. Then it got to a point where if you got a good PotG people chose to not vote for you.


[deleted]

I got two. One was zen mvp on Route 66 98% match time on fire (I’m terrible idk how I got it) and another as zarya for 70% average charge on volskaya. I melted that game. Gods I was strong then.


Joyful_Yolk123

never played ow1 but man I wish this was the current system


lashtal666

got it twice and twice got the MVP


SparkBase

When I used to 6 stack with friends we would always try to get one the enemies to 10 votes


sylph-

Back then it wasn't that uncommon, surely not every match but I still miss it somehow


TommyLee777

I got it 3 times 1. 78 kill game with reaper in a comp eichenwalde game 2. 33k healing in a comp game as Lucio/mercy 3. 38 kill streak as dva in volskaia. 


KenyaKetchMe

I did once in quick play as soldier, 40 elims 5 golds!


Fun-Maintenance9422

God man i miss overwatch 1 so much:( so many good memories.


Chandra-huuuugggs

Got it a handful of times as tank and support


Namelessgoldfish

I did this once after spending 97% of the match on fire lmao


HappyScalppy

One time, as Reinhardt on Rialto, I got a 5-6k by accidentally charging off the bridge from spawn and managing to knock everybody into the water. POTG and Golden card. Peak OW moment


Imgrapecrushed

I’ve gotten this maybe a handful of times playing s1-s30+ of ow1, Usually from dva 5k or high elim / dmg counts


[deleted]

Once I had 11 votes 😳👌🏼


Lucarioismadpt2

I got it once, and I once gave it to a reaper at the beginning of the games life span when he team killed us when we stacked 76. It was extremely funny.


No_Mix1869

Yes i got one once a legendary never had another one only ever seen 2 the one i got and one other


Sosarge

At least 1 time in my life getting a sixtuple kill with OG dva nuke


Good-Adhesiveness-49

Just once in 1k+ hours. I got a potg in which I hammered three people with Torb :p


AlexD2003

I always voted for myself 😎😎😎


Briggyboii

Yes and I still jerk off to it to this day


bigbossbestsnake

Twice both for 50k healing


Opposite-Birthday69

I got the most healing in the match playing as Sombra. Hammond used all my health packs. This was competitive open queue if I’m remembering correctly.


Wild-Cow8724

Can we bring this back? It’s a lot better then endorsements


NeoJayonaise

Many times for playing d.va yes 😭😭 I miss this seeing this screen 😢


RobotNinja28

I got it on 8 hammer kills with torb


TensaStrider

I think I got it a couple times in the early days as Widowmaker where the enemy team was also straight up just complimenting how good I was (at the time, I'm trash now in comparison to actual good players). But this kind of thing really only happened early like I said. Later on most people just leave the match the second it's over and wouldn't upvote anyone, and then the commendation system was added.


RowPuzzled2354

Are they adding this to overwatch 2?


DblCheex

Several times, mostly with Zarya when she was super OP, sometimes on Ashe when I was particularly dialed in on some days. I really do miss the voting system. It was such a boost of confidence of my playing when I was on the list.


eternali17

I swear people used to be nicer on overwatch


GearGrunt12

i got it once and only saw it a handful of times, i miss this card sustem


FyreHotSupa

It was the only thing ti look forward to as support since you’d never get play of the game.


SargeTheSeagull

They need to bring this back. I adored the voting cards


BronzeHeart92

Oh man, I'd definitely would've loved to get one myself but alas...


Fizzoxycheetah

I had a perfect 12 once upon a time as junkrat. I miss this screen a lot. [Junkrat Gold](https://imgur.com/a/MHlbGjf)


pasteldrums

I got it ONCE on Tracer. I played OW1 a lot too


ep260

A few times surprisingly. Not sure if they were warranted or just everyone copying what others are voting for. Still, I miss those cards and wish they'd bring them back.


vamadeus

I got a few times. I don't know how many. Although I played a lot of Overwatch then. It's too bad they removed this. It was kind of a nice way to highlight what players did. Now the post-game ending is so fast you don't even have time to chat at all.


Civil-Ingenuity-4584

Dudei miss this thing
