What is a custom request in Overwatch 2 boosting?
A custom request in Overwatch 2 boosting means asking your booster to use specific heroes, play a certain role, or follow a particular playstyle while completing your order. For example, you might want only Ana, prefer Support role, or ask the booster to play with minimal aggression. This is different from standard boosting, where the booster chooses the optimal approach for speed and win rate.
Can I pick the champion (hero) or role during my boost?
Yes, most Overwatch 2 boosting services, including Boosting24, let you pick specific heroes or roles for your boost. This is commonly requested by players who want their match history to look natural, avoid suspicion, or just have a personal preference. Simply list your hero or role preferences when placing your order or by contacting support after purchase.
- Popular requests include only using meta heroes, sticking to one-tricks, or avoiding certain picks.
- Requesting a single hero is possible but may make the boost slower, especially at higher ranks.
- Role requests (Tank, DPS, Support) are widely supported but may require a longer completion window.
How do custom requests affect boost speed and price?
Custom requests almost always impact the speed and price of your Overwatch 2 boost. Restricting hero pool or demanding a specific playstyle limits the booster’s options, which can make games harder to win or queue times longer. As a result:
- Expect a slower boost for ultra-specific requests (e.g., only off-meta heroes or one-tricks).
- Prices are higher for custom orders, reflecting the extra challenge and time required.
- Boosters may decline requests that are not realistically achievable at your target rank.
- If your request is flexible (e.g., any Support hero), the impact on speed and price will be less significant.
How do I submit and communicate my custom requests?
On trusted marketplaces like Boosting24, you can submit your custom request in the order form or by contacting support before or after purchase. Clearly state your requirements, such as “only play Reinhardt and Winston” or “Support role with a passive playstyle.” Good communication ensures the booster understands your expectations and can confirm feasibility before starting.
- Use the arc raiders custom request option for specialized orders.
- Include as much detail as possible: hero names, roles, playstyle preferences, or any account-specific restrictions.
- Ask for confirmation from support or the booster if your request is unusual or complex.
What are the typical limits or restrictions on custom requests?
Boosters can usually accommodate most reasonable requests, but there are some limitations:
- Requests for only off-meta heroes or rarely played picks may be refused, especially at high SR (Skill Rating) where win rates matter most.
- Extreme playstyles (e.g., never using abilities, only melee attacks) are generally not accepted.
- Some boosters have personal hero pools and may not play every hero at a high level.
- Requests that would obviously sabotage the boost or arouse suspicion (such as intentionally losing games) are not supported.
Always check with the marketplace support if you have doubts about what is possible for your account and target rank.
Do custom requests make my boost safer or less detectable?
Requesting your usual heroes or roles can help your match history look more natural, which may reduce suspicion from other players. However, no custom request can guarantee complete anonymity or safety. Boosting is always detectable by Blizzard if investigated closely. Custom requests are best used for peace of mind and to keep your account history consistent with your normal play.
Frequently asked questions
Can I request multiple heroes or roles at once?
Yes, you can specify a pool of heroes or roles (for example, "any Support or Tank hero"). This gives the booster more flexibility and usually results in a faster and less expensive boost.
Will my custom request slow down the boost?
Most specific requests will slow the boost, especially if you restrict the booster to one hero or off-meta picks. Broader requests (multiple heroes or any role) have less impact on speed.
Does it cost extra to request a specific hero or playstyle?
Yes, custom requests typically increase the price, reflecting the additional challenge and time required for the booster. The more restrictive the request, the higher the cost.
Can I change my request after the boost has started?
You can usually update your request by contacting support, but changes may further delay completion or require extra payment if the new request is more restrictive.
What if my request is not possible at my rank?
If your requested hero or playstyle is not viable at your target rank, the booster or support team will advise you and suggest alternatives. Some requests may be declined if they would prevent successful completion of your boost.
