Overwatch is also listed as fully supported on Overwolf's official site:įrom the above information it seems as if the Overwolf developers would assume responsibility if any functionality of their program was exploited in a way that could harm the game experience/community in Overwatch, and would attempt to work with Blizzard to prevent such actions. I hope this clarifies things up for you, and please feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

Overwolf does not grant any type of unfair advantage of this sort. Blizzard's main concern right now is people who actually cheat via scripting/aimbots and whatnot in the game itself. For argument's sake, we didn't develop anything for Overwatch quite yet, however if your concern is using video recording apps of ours, there are alot of programs out there that do this and are not causing bans of any sort. Whenever we work on apps or features in Overwolf we are making a great effort to stay in touch with the game-company to ensure we are not in violation of any terms of service or policies. Thank you for reaching out to us mate :) Thankfully you can be rest assured. Overwolf extensions sidestep this concern, since they do not interact with the game engine they operate exclusively on the overlay created by the main Overwolf program.Īdditionally, one of the developers of Overwolf has responded to an Overwatch player's concerns with using the program: has gained traction in competitive video games, such as eSports and MMORPGs, where native extensions are often forbidden due to concerns about cheating. The Blizzard EULA states that you cannot create, use, offer, advertise, make available and/or distribute the following or assist therein:Īny code and/or software, not expressly authorized by Blizzard, that can be used in connection with the client, the Service, a Game and/or any component or feature thereof which changes and/or facilitates the gameplay.Īfter doing some research I discovered Overwolf, which according to the wiki:

I wanted to make sure that I was not in breach of the EULA before using this method for a custom crosshair overlay, as some methods of overlaying elements in full screen are intrusive and could possibly be used to gain an unfair advantage. But using borderless windowed mode increases input lag and can adversely affect performance, especially on lower end systems. There's plenty of ways to overlay a borderless window crosshair.
