Question / Help Having trouble streaming Overwatch!

Hello! I am having trouble streaming Overwatch. The stream stutters a lot when I try to run this game, never had a problem with other high motion games including Rocket Leauge

Tried a Bitrate between 1000 - 2000 nothing seems to be working. Are there any settings I can change to try and help my performance with this game? as I intend to stream it as much as possible if I can.

What settings should I be able to use?

Any advice would be appreciated. Here are my Logs. https://gist.github.com/b01e466553ab3e5485ab

720p@30fps, x264 Veryfast, 2000kbps is the default 'golden point'.
But from the log it appears Overwatch is over-stressing your CPU:
19:10:38: Total frames encoded: 15350, total frames duplicated: 1205 (7.85%)
19:10:38: Number of frames skipped due to encoder lag: 921 (6.00%)
19:10:38: Total frames rendered: 14378, number of late frames: 100 (0.70%) (it's okay for some frames to be late)
You may need to drop to a 480p downscale to compensate, as you want all of those to be (quite a bit) under 1%, not in the 6-8% range. Also bear in mind that Overwatch is a beta product, will not be optimized yet, and likely contains more than an average number of bugs... so performance issues and other odd behaviors or interactions may be expected, including with OBS.

Definitely don't watch the stream from the same machine you're streaming from, especially on an i5. Stutter and issues should be expected if you do. Use a separate laptop, tablet, or mobile phone instead.
