    @xLimmitless I keep hearing Titanfall 3 this, Titanfall 3 that but who knows What is known is everyone has seen the **** hole that's happened to overwatch 1, Whether it'll repeat with Apex is another story to be found out. But *******, is it such a easy thing to fix just by LISTENING.

  • MrToxicCodes Toxic (@MrToxicCodes) reported

    If @PlayOverwatch doesn't have a better punishment system in overwatch 2 then the rank system will stay abused and broken.

  • RydudeWasHere Rydood (@RydudeWasHere) reported

    @General_STORM1 You say that but it’s literally diva’s defense matrix from overwatch and that thing was absolutely broken and still is

  • Webhead_91 Webhead (@Webhead_91) reported

    @OfficialXboxU List of notable IPs stolen by XB Hellblade Doom Halo TES Fallout List of notable IPs XB are trying to steal COD Crash Spyro Tony Hawk's Diablo Overwatch Only examples Xbots can give for PS SFV (a single game, not a series) Spider-Man Why make games when you can buy them 🤷🏻

  • ThatSingularity Singlair (@ThatSingularity) reported

    blizzard is working so hard on removing stuns for overwatch 2, but personally i feel like the problem is knockback not stuns like, i dont like being juggled around the battlefield while i cant even center my aim because of how much im being moved

  • soblessedbeezy Beezy so Bwessed (@soblessedbeezy) reported

    The fact that a black woman is about to be the most broken character in overwatch 2 is simply a thing of beauty. Game should’ve dropped in February

  • max70831 max7083 (@max70831) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ i had the same problem. my pc was connected with a LAN cable but I also had the possibility for WLAN. Sometimes my pc just switched between both and at that moments i had no connection. I fixed it by removing the internet antenna. Also it just affected Overwatch for some reason

  • dxplication 𝘼𝙣𝙙𝙧𝙤𝙞𝙙!𝙀𝙘𝙝𝙤 (@dxplication) reported

    //I just think an AU of them being stuck with each other during the six years overwatch was shut down and they just be outlaws together and get into trouble and all that stuff would be cute

  • RooOfAnarchy Roo (@RooOfAnarchy) reported

    @xLimmitless And if that does happen, alongside all the issues of the devs not listening, Along with the player base being overall toxic and **** in general. We'll have another overwatch situation reaccuring. This game has so much more potential, it would be a waste if the same **** happened

  • TBSkyen TBSkyen (@TBSkyen) reported

    @Vimeddiee Overwatch 2 will need to pull off an actual ******* miracle to get people re-invested, after the endless parade of neglect and broken promises the first game offered.

  • fawcroix kitty ☆ (@fawcroix) reported

    people who still think widow is broken in 2022 are actually just bad at overwatch

  • Chico9022 Captain Cutter™️ (@Chico9022) reported

    343 spent some years after 5 making an overwatch clone because trends. And now when the gameplay is the best since 3 they make it live service and there’s not enough time for content. 2/2

  • luvsakuraharuno Ramen Ugfuglio Skumpy (@luvsakuraharuno) reported

    Dropped 400sr in Overwatch comp in under 2 hours. FIX THE ******* MATCHMAKING IM TIRED IF ****** IDIOTIC TEAMMATES @PlayOverwatch

  • skkyii_ Skkyii💫 (@skkyii_) reported

    @AskPlayStation @Blizzard_Ent My friend bought Overwatch The Anniversary Vol 1 but when he trys to load up the game it doesn't let him login and says that his free trial has ended. But he has playstation plus so why does it not let him into Overwatch?

  • bluntzeraa bluntzera (@bluntzeraa) reported

    @Konabu1 10 years of csgo and they still cant even fix spinbots on overwatch. This game is ridiculous. Full of kids cheating. Nor to mention the csgo Twitter admin is a 16 year old

  • ghostcrebs raleigh 🐢🌙 store open (@ghostcrebs) reported

    when overwatch gamers are like "🤓 the porn is the best part" and its like a 10 second clip of dva with a broken spine that any normal person would scroll to get away from as fast as possible

  • Games4Kickz Kickz (@Games4Kickz) reported

    @Bluesmachine100 I think my problem was that they run past the outer boundaries of my reach and shot me then from behind their cover. I also forgot that shooting from cover doesn't trigger an overwatch or return fire :)

  • bigbearluvr69 puddin (@bigbearluvr69) reported

    @Ubettertouchme @Neqtuen Absolutely not, the overwatch team was largely blameless but the problems existed pre Activision, most notably in the WoW team.

  • TheLEBrEZ Elizabeth (@TheLEBrEZ) reported

    @Stryxus im pretty sure GTAO just resets your character if you get money dropped or did glitch lmao... also Overwatch doesn't ban ppl for reports w/o evidence, and even if they did you would have not only have to be constantly reported for some reason, and alr banned once.

  • qtSarahcx sarah (@qtSarahcx) reported

    I'm hyped for overwatch 2 but i just hope they don't pull a Brigette again on release adding a broken character that doesn't get addressed until 3 years after the fact.

  • SurpassUrLimitz Sean (@SurpassUrLimitz) reported

    Overwatch 2 in 1 day n a half can't wait to put another 1000+ hours into this franchise gonna be a few broken PCs on this journey

  • foureyes5b Foureyes5brains (@foureyes5b) reported

    @PlayOverwatch fix your god damn game! I PLAYED FOR 8 HOURS TODAY AND HAD FUN. THAT’S NOT WHY I GO PLAY OVERWATCH.

  • satherie Satherie (@satherie) reported

    @CoffeeTimeZorua @DaveO56_ @Twitch I actually have no issues with the current state of overwatch haha I get annoyed with toxics, smurfs and sometimes unranked to gm players but overall I’m happy when I play. I would’ve been happy with new maps and a few new characters too. Didn’t even need a whole new game

  • Omni_Arte Ariel cal (@Omni_Arte) reported

    @Asmongold I haven’t touched overwatch in almost a year. However, OW2 changes seems to fix a lot issues. We shall see what happens.

  • Luumyra Lyra (@Luumyra) reported

    Blizzard fix the ******* toxicity in your game seriously..Overwatch is unplayable 50% of the time

  • Stryxus Stryxus (@Stryxus) reported

    @TheLEBrEZ Funny enough, Overwatch and GTA Online are the only games iv ever been suspended in any way on. And GTA Online was because I get money bags spawned on me. So, its obviously not a me problem.

  • Exspiritmental Spirit (Commissions open 3/3) (@Exspiritmental) reported

    @BlizzardCS my authenticator login is impossible. I can't use a restore code or serial number, because I didn't save it and the apps asking for it. I needed the app to login into get the restore code. And I need the app, to access, Overwatch. You get what I'm dealing with?

  • strubbergGaming Omega Zone Gaming (@strubbergGaming) reported

    @champbeyond @OGgibo I would presume that means call of duty, crash bandicoot, Spyro, Tony hawk, Diablo, OverWatch, and Warcraft. Now does that extend to dead franchises that they might revive like guitar hero or Skylanders I don't know.

  • theRealKueppi thereaLDKP (@theRealKueppi) reported

    @ltzShadow @illPhysics (1)The reason for lag is not sbmm per definition. If so, games with sbmm like overwatch, cod, cs would always be laggy. It is the underlying connection model used in destiny. Connections today are as worse as with sbmm.

  • HeIsZemZem ZemTheKiller (@HeIsZemZem) reported

    OOOO My IPS will get ****** i dont care, i will annoy his *** all day tomorrow to fix my internet and give me my upload so i can do 24/7 Overwatch 2 stream :>
