It’s crazy how Overwatch 2 looks exactly like Overwatch, and is probably going to have the exact same problem of people losing interest in the game relatively quick because there’s going to be little to no new content pushed most likely. Damn.

@opal_teal I’ve been playing tf2 for almost 10 years and I’ve seen similar and even worse in games like valorant and Overwatch. I’ve seen “georgefloyd” accounts in valorant and have been given legit death threats in Overwatch. The FPS genre is toxic, and it’s a problem bigger than tf2.

Something I kept coming back to in this was the phrase "BioWare Magic." Blizzard seems to be, intentionally or not, keeping employees on the hook chasing the next big break. The problem is, that was *supposed* to be Overwatch, and clearly it wasn't.

@iKarmakaze @aaaa76344145 @okplazma This is also a player problem. People just want to shoot things when Overwatch is much more than that.

@GregoFPS Ultimate downfall of ability shooters. Same issue as Overwatch, decide if you're a MOBA or an FPS

Honestly playing Destiny 2 again has been so much fun... the PvE is enjoyable and the PvP sure it has it's issues isn't as bad as #overwatch PVP

@V1ctinii Blizzard would rather delete a role slot than balance the role properly. It’s lazy and won’t help overwatch in the long run when the same issues have just been ignored

@PlayOverwatch running at you and gunning you and your team down 1 by 1 tanks in Overwatch should be way more moba like then they are at the moment, but instead you straightup admit, that you cannot fix this role and need to delete half of it, because your balancing team ****** up since 2017.

@CyberpunkGame We seriously need a fix for Iconic Weapons disappearing on final mission of the game. Lost my overwatch sniper and crash hand Cannon. Not in stash just outright gone. Has done this on every game that I played

@amongusvore @OWAnonymous_ Or... Hear me out now. Knock off 25 hp, cause a tanky hitscan is the most egregiously broken thing in Overwatch, AND rework flashbang cause it's too damn easy to get value out of.

@TempoZP there's a problem with the OWL stream. Overwatch has looked laggy/stuttery a number of times. (Not only a problem on my end. I checked) Comes and goes though.

(@KAFEEEEEE_OW) reported
@AzloArts @SamitoFPS The biggest counter to ranged hitscans is their lack of mobility compared to other heroes, overwatch is incredibly mechanical and hard to aim in. If you can't play around a living turret then the problem is your brain.

So anyway I can get overwatch to run despite my computer having issues, the settings just gotta be lower than low to the point where I can count the pixels on the screen, maybe I'll grind ranked when I get my new pc working

@opal_teal They shouldn’t jump ship on an amazing ip. They should fix their game. Overwatch at least TRIED to fix their toxic community by incentivizing not being toxic. Give the game good moderation and we can eliminate that problem.

@PaulTassi @Forbes As someone who doesn't play Overwatch, and never intends too, I don't see this as a problem. But could put some major strain on BattleNet tho.

@PlayVALORANT Please, for the love of God, fix your god damn competitive matchmaking system. Your entire MMR system is without a doubt the worst system I have ever seen in a video game. Even Overwatch did a better job. Overwatch! You make millions more than they do!

Idk if there's going to be another game that I like the way I've liked overwatch and apex. And idk that that's necessarily a problem. I want a more casual relationship with video games anyways. So idk. Things are changing in my head again.
