Ord1 – O’Hare International Airport – Chicago Since the server will most likely be different based on your location you’re connecting from, here’s the list of all Overwatch servers for each region, from a forums post. That means that in our case, means Chicago, which is considered to be East Coast in Overwatch. Now, most likely you don’t know what that means at this point, but as a fun fact, and confirmed in this reddit post, the Overwatch servers are named by the airports in their region. In our case, that particular line shows the region as being “ “, followed by the Overwatch server’s IP. This will bring up a view like in the image below, and the most important line in regards to your Overwatch US region will be displayed on the very first line.
Once you’re in the actual match, press Ctrl+Shift+N, which will bring up a debug network view, as confirmed by Overwatch’s Lead Software Engineer in this reddit post. In order to check your Overwatch US server, all you need to do is start up the game and enter a match, for example Quick Play. How to check if your Overwatch server is East or West Coast That being said, in this post we’ll see how you can find which Overwatch US server you’re connecting to, and how to change it if you want to do so. What this means, essentially, is that depending on your current skill rating, you might want to go either East or West Coast when playing, be it only for placements or just climbing. West Coast dilemma has been something a lot of players have thought of, especially since a lot of streamers talk about it as well.Īlthough naturally, despite debating it quite a bit on a lot of reddit threads, it’s somewhat commonly known that West Coast servers potentially have better games, although are said to be more toxic, whereas East Coast Overwatch servers are less toxic, with a lot of different types of players. HUD: if you don't use the explaining HUD, you can turn it off in the settings.The Overwatch East Coast vs.The Judge can teleport a bit to move around faster: press INTERACT.This is helpful for determing which players can continue to the next round. To give someone 1 round point, use crouch near the contestant.Each contestant will spawn at a pillar so its useful if you freeze them first. To sort players, jump at the assigned area.One by one the contestants will spawn on the ring on front of you and when they do, they must say ONE line which fits the theme. To activate the voice line contest, jump at the assigned area.(freeze, res, random kill, toggle dva, team rings) To use the control panel, go near one of the circle icons and shoot it.This points show up in the HUD but are kinda imaginary and just helpful for determing a winner, so you don't have to use it at all. If you don't receive enough points you'll be dead. I usually give 3 points for a perfect fit, 2 points for a good one and 1 point if it's okay. Conversation: last 2 players make a conversation by using voice lines to eachotherĮvery round you can score points (judge crouch near).Spray: pick one spray that fits the theme.Voice Line Contest: when it's your turn use one line that fits the theme.In my version voice line, spray and emotes also can help you win the game.
If you have a good judge it's really fun because you can have a whole contest where not only the skin matters. This version is the most advanced because the judge has many different options. Added a special theme list at the end, it has some weird one's but its better than 'RED' or 'MOIRA' everytime. I'm a big fan of the Skin Contest mode but most of them are using quite boring theme's and feel just lame. NOTE: THIS ORIGINAL OLDER VERSION WAS MADE BY BONKORN: PLEASE SUPPORT HIM ON HIS DISCORD
