    r/overwatch OP: "I've been hardstuck Bronze since OW1, but I've managed to climb to GM in x weeks! Just believe in yourself and you can do it!" Nah, bro, ranked is broken, you didn't just "suddenly" get gud at Overwatch, come on.

  • LetsTakeWalk LetsTakeAWalk (@LetsTakeWalk) reported

    Overwatch has become absolute trash. Aaron and his incompetent devs ruined it by making broken matchmaker even worse, on top of absolute horrendous balancing. They need to be fired #overwatch2

  • TrucyFT14 Trucy | ENVtuber (@TrucyFT14) reported

    Switch to overwatch 2 cause resident evil was lagging to much to the point of it being unplayable

  • N4buky ɴᴀʙᴜ 🌿🤍 (@N4buky) reported

    @Rooeybooey @a2dq223 roo remember that one time where you called me slurs that u couldn’t claim because of ur skill issue in overwatch comp

  • nannudidarr Nannu Didar (@nannudidarr) reported

    idk why console players keep crying about ximmers, if you have a issue with ximmers then just switch to pc, overwatch devs does not give a **** about console gaming, all you can do is cry like a baby and won’t achieve anything from it.

  • thesongofstorms o m o ♡ they/them (@thesongofstorms) reported

    love queueing into overwatch competitive and having your dps disconnect after two failed high noons

  • Jebus3211 71st Jebus | Jebus 7 (@Jebus3211) reported

    @NewPlayer9845 @vaccoin Weaponising overwatch is a problem, that simple. I also never denied that people were doing it, I was arguing that I don't trust an Ai to always get it right.

  • sunrxse aubrey (@sunrxse) reported

    overwatch twt users are so ******* annoying LMFAOOO yall have the shittiest takes & then talk down to anyone who disagrees. sounds like a skill issue to me

  • kelsey_762 𝚔𝚎𝚕𝚜𝚎𝚢 𝚁𝚘𝚋𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚘𝚗 (@kelsey_762) reported

    Can’t play #ApexLedgends cos it keeps crashing so Overwatch it is I guess :( fix this please

  • hagurusean Digimon World 1-3 ports when??? (@hagurusean) reported

    A similar issue I have with bad piercing placement is specific to Hanzo from Overwatch. The skin where he has a bridge piercing, and the subsequent art, has the piercing placed too low. It's literally going through bone.

  • 1nonlyjisoo Jisoo (@1nonlyjisoo) reported

    @ModernWarzone Never understood the incessant bitching about multiplayer games. I have no issue with WZ2 or overwatch or whatever. They would have to make huge wild changes that interfere with my gameplay. Which they just happened to not do to me.

  • papa_nurgle_ Blue_Rooster_Face (@papa_nurgle_) reported

    @spragels @minishep_ They have to fix whatever they changed with matchmaking. My buddy we are trying to get back into the game gets paired against masters five stacks and he's vet 5 duo-ing with another vet player. Then Zacian 1 on 3's his team chasing them up the flux and he's back to overwatch.

  • moogdraws moog 🍨 ムーグ @ Project: SATURN 🪐 (@moogdraws) reported

    I love Overwatch but solo queue hurts… I don’t want to be called the r slur for having a bit of lag and being the only one playing on point 🥲

  • dusty_dino Dusty_Dino (@dusty_dino) reported

    I am going to attempt to stream some Overwatch today at 5pst crossing my fingers that OBS doesn't give me issues!

  • BunchesMelia MELia Bunches 🤡🐱 Clown Vtuber (@BunchesMelia) reported

    i dont know what the issue with my computer can be at this point idk why games like fortnite and overwatch keep crashing i tried everything with the drivers to think it not that. i just hope i dont got to replace anything 🥺

  • yonsofficial memphrica (@yonsofficial) reported

    my week days are pretty much making music and joking with teenagers, then joking with my fam over dinner and some entertainment, reading or watching something lowkey pretentious, then Overwatch until i crash at 2 am

  • NewPlayer9845 NewPlayer 🇷🇴☦️ (@NewPlayer9845) reported

    @Jebus3211 @vaccoin I clearly said how vaccoin works and it doesnt weaponise overwatch as a direct ban The AI anti cheat may not be trusted by the everyday player but big games have already implement it and there were no issues with it atm

  • MooreDausen Dausen Moore (@MooreDausen) reported

    @ArkJurassic @SteveChillGame Halo is weirdly one of the few games where people have standards lol. Overwatch 2 launched with every issue Infinite had and many more, yet I don't see have the drama for it. I have no idea why so many people still play MW2 lol. MW2 is so much worse than Halo imo.

  • stray_anpanman Em❣️⤮ 3M seller! (@stray_anpanman) reported

    Had a player on the enemy team in overwatch tell everyone to report me because I was targeting him all the time when he was the one that kept attacking me. Kept asking me what my problem was. Everyone on both teams jumped him told him to get over himself, it was enjoyable 🥰

  • kanekishellahot mel | GETO IS REAL (@kanekishellahot) reported

  • DarkNinjuh DarkNinjuhGaming (@DarkNinjuh) reported

    Is anyone else having issues with Overwatch servers? I keep getting disconnected randomly #Overwatch

  • AMapleViking Just a Bi trans guy (@AMapleViking) reported

    Please help me. I’m a 17 year old who’s whole life is OVERWATCH, it’s my only escape and I’ve been playing for forever. When I logged in today it said that I’ve been permanently banned when I know I haven’t broken any rule, I would never risk my safe haven and get suspended OR…

  • Petretooo Peter Angelov (@Petretooo) reported

    @Wolf101Gaming @ATVI_AB @Microsoft Yeah I'm wondering too, then if this is Sony's only problem I'd suggest Microsoft make Call of Duty a multi-platform game like they planned, but all the other games like Diablo and Overwatch, Xbox exclusives, WAIT they don’t want a new COD deal, but just block the deal, then..

  • waddlingjoey waddlewaddle (@waddlingjoey) reported

    @n3rdy_overwatch i bet you're as experienced of a knife-stopper as an overwatch player, but on the off chance outlaws decide not to hand in their guns you might have a problem

  • DrelaSoul14 DreLaSoul (@DrelaSoul14) reported

    @AoiKypher Overwatch needs to fix ranked

  • karenborja karen ❥ ksimbuilds 🌷 (@karenborja) reported

    I don't know if the problem is my isp or the game itself. I was trying to stream overwatch on youtube and I keep being booted out of the game. :/

  • mr_pineappl3s Alessandro (@mr_pineappl3s) reported

    Hope they fix the Overwatch account being shadow banned before they release information on the new hero or Season 4.

  • imrhettbutler Andrew Cody Morales (@imrhettbutler) reported from City of Vancouver, Washington

    Overwatch 2’s matching maker is broken AF.
