If your rank is the same as hers, you wouldn't be getting wide matches. Wide matches are specifically for teams of people with a very wide distribution of rankings, therefore the name "wide". So finish your placements and see what you get. But for me and my friends, even if we get wide matches, the longest we've ever waited was 8 minutes for a game.

Valorant?

I just started myself, after missing Overwatch 1 and thinking it was similar. To my surprise it is like an Overwatch with a Counterstrike feel to it, which I quite enjoy.

Tetsuo,

Imo valorant has almost nothing to do with Overwatch.

The pace of those games is wildly different, the mobility also…

Valorant is CS with 10% Overwatch sprinkled on it.

I think something like Marvel’s Rivals is a much better alternative.

Eyck_of_denesle,

Agree with the other comment and wanted to add more, the community is bad in valorant. If op and their friends are girl gamers then it’s even worse experience.

Team Fortress 2? That was the game Overwatch was kinda imitating, so might be worth trying it out if you haven’t. Just keep in mind that you might have to avoid matchmaking and manually browse for servers. TF2 was having a bot problem, I dunno if valve ever fixed it.

catloaf,

This. It’s old now, but the medic class doesn’t require shooting. The spy doesn’t either, usually. But the medic is a great way to pay a support role. It used to be one of my favorite things for chill gaming.

The Demoman is optionally a melee class. For some reason 🤷🏻‍♂️

MindTraveller,

And then I’ll grow yer arse’s arse and I’m the grass man, punk yeah heaven’s heathen…

hushable,

bot problem has been largely fixed now, there are some random human cheaters still, but they tend to get banned fairly quickly

I’d be suggesting Battleborn if it wasn’t dead…

Maybe Predecessor (paragon reboot)?

Marvel Rivals might be a bit too close to Overwatch, or maybe that’s a good thing?

You might consider just not playing ranked. In anything. Assigning a number to my skill level and that of others had a negative effect on my relationship with games and using them to have fun. Recognizing that and just playing to play instead of to appease the rating system, has led to much more fun coming out of my fun.

It doesn’t mean you can’t get better at the game over time, only that you’ll be the judge of your progress, instead of an arbitrary number that won’t ever feel truly fair.

zalgotext,

Yeah playing quickplay in Overwatch has all the sweaty counterswapping and flaming for off meta picks as competitive, except with a 5-10 minute queue time instead of 20-30

I completely disabled both text and voice chat, and haven’t looked back.

They made a gigantic mistake by announcing it so early, but at the same time, a lot of people take it way too far with the excitement. Let them cook

Splatoon is great if you have Switches.

Helldivers 2 is PvE but is a great group experience.

Extraction shooters might be a thing? Hunt: Showdown?

For Honour. It’s a competitive sword fighting game. You’ll like the combat system. She’ll like devising a strategy on how best to lead the creeps to overrun the enemy castle.

Or maybe you’ll prefer Foxhole, a persistent trench warfare simulation game where players manufacture every bullet and build every fortification. It’s not as fast paced as Overwatch, but I bet she’ll like digging a trench for you to use for cover as you nail fools and slowly take ground from the enemy.

Wait…that’s still an thing? They first talked about it in 2019. After that nothing.

Maybe Deadlock?

EarWorm,

Yeah, it does look promising but knowing Valve time it’ll release sometime in the 2030s.

Cyv_,

Send me your steam friend code, as far as I can tell I can invite any steam friend, with no limits on numbers. Dunno how long the playtest is running, but they usually do half the day live, and half with matchmaking shut down for patching stuff.

!deadlock has a thread for inviting and getting invited in case the guy who already commented doesn’t get you in.

huginn,

Get in the closed alpha/beta and play. It’s a ton of fun.

minimalfootprint, do gaming w Wireless mouse with silent switches recommendation

It’s not easy to find info like the sound of the switch/button with gaming mice.

Maybe the Razer Pro Click, Razer’e answer to the MX Master mice, could work for you.

kurcatovium,

I have two problems with this.

  1. I consider Razer the most over-hyped and over-priced peripheral producer. The products I’ve seen were not bad, but did cost at least twice as much as their feel suggested. I don’t want to support this.
  2. Tilt-wheel. Every mouse I’ve held that had tilt wheel was PITA in the long run. I probably grip the mouse wrong, but I very often tilted the wheel instead pressing the button.
Kissaki,

The last mouse I bought is a Razer. The bottom is an awful dust collector. Never again.

Others have suggested Deadlock and that really sounds like the perfect game for you two, but be aware of one thing: it does require shooting. In the laning phase last hitting and securing the orbs from creep kills by shooting them is absolutely crucial, as the game will snowball out of control if one team outfarms the other.

It’s not out yet but Marvel Rivals looks like it may be a good fit. Hopefully they’ll announce the release date soon now that the closed beta is over.

This sounds like you want Deadlock. MOBA with third-person shooter mechanics.
