    @grunchaldunch Sounds like a “you have not looked at Reinhardt overwatch” issue

  • JxmpJxt FΛЯΣΣΉΛ ΛMΛЯI (@JxmpJxt) reported

    || Replies? Overwatch? Orrrr fix my accounts? :3

  • DeltaFireexx ★ D 三 L T Δ // M Δ D Z ★ (@DeltaFireexx) reported

    i genuinely think the core issue of the overwatch community is seeing things in black or white. Mercy players screaming that mercy isn’t the issue because sojourn is really shows people think 2 dimensionally. Both things can and are problems.

  • Smuginator Hatsune Miku’s strongest soldier (@Smuginator) reported

    Btw yesterday I was playing overwatch and the moment I said I would **** the **** out of rammatra I got kicked out of the game cuz of lag

  • Rakuraiiiii Rakurai (@Rakuraiiiii) reported

    How i would fix overwatch (Mercy) Damage Amplification REWORK: Can only damage amplify for 4 seconds and then go onto a 12 second cooldown Resurrect: Cast time 1.75-2.25 Resurrect: Ultimate charge 15% if successful

  • kihyunoi sofia (@kihyunoi) reported

    “the server closed due to an unexpected error” during the SECOND ROUND OF MY COMP MATCH I HATE OVERWATCH

  • Rakuraiiiii Rakurai (@Rakuraiiiii) reported

    How i would fix overwatch (Orisa) Orisa: Fortify Dmg Reduction 40%-30% Orisa: Energy Javelin cooldown 6-8 seconds Orisa: Energy Javelin Damage 60-50 Orisa: Energy Javelin wall impact damage 40-30 Orisa: Javelin Spin time 1.75-1.5 seconds Orisa: Javelin Spin damage 100-80

  • LargestAdultSon DoBBy (@LargestAdultSon) reported

    @DreamofJanney it has the same problem as overwatch with far too much **** going on at once and constant changes. csgo is the NFL of esports. it’s king for a reason

  • Rakuraiiiii Rakurai (@Rakuraiiiii) reported

    How I would fix overwatch (Kiriko) Protection Suzu: Cooldown 14-13 Protection Suzu: Duration 0.85-1.5 Protection Suzu: Invinsibility .85-.25 Protection Suzu REWORK: No longer permanantly cleanes but temporarily cleanses for 1.5 seconds Kitsune Rush: Duration 10.5-8

  • PixelTwitchTV PixelTwitch 🕹️ (@PixelTwitchTV) reported

    @SimoneBellomont @HardwareUnboxed For instance, the latest Witcher 3 update and most recent Unreal Engine Games. Where I WOULDN'T use Anti-Lag is in a scenario where I'm capping the FPS and I'm going to maintain the cap. For instance Overwatch 2 225fps cap on a 240hz freesync monitor.

  • RlRake Rake (@RlRake) reported

    @Lethamyr_RL Impossible problem to tackle. The issues of the free to play game. If the game costed just $10 we wouldn’t have the issue. You get the same problem overwatch had by requiring a phone, but without it there is no good verification. Seems like the only way.

  • TheBasedPluto Morpheus / ∀ The BⒶsed Pluto ∀ (@TheBasedPluto) reported

    Mercy's movement is fine. The problem with the Overwatch community still thinks supports should be free kills when it comes to tank and ESPECIALLY DPS mains. This is why many also STILL want zen nerfed like for years a strat wasn't "kill zen first" (lol)

  • metron0my metronomy (@metron0my) reported

    @judeau19 @s9mmow unfortunate that this is overwatch we’re talking about then, blizz would rather band-aid non-issues once a month and pump out $20 skins than make meaningful balance changes regularly

  • Hadrik_osity Hadrik (@Hadrik_osity) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Hey Overwatch, can you fix the Golden Guns being unable to be purchased? It’s been this way for about a month.

  • jbtutor Jeremiah Bourque (@jbtutor) reported from Yarmouth Bar, Nova Scotia

    So, #YouTube... I have a thick skin, and I don't have any special problem with Overwatch 2, but an "ad" with a runtime of 10 hours and 53 minutes is a little much, FYI. Just pointing that out. Ciao.

  • thesonicster TheSonicSter R (@thesonicster) reported

    @CrispyFrise That's probably because Lego got the Overwatch license because they can't get the crash license

  • jonunderscor Jon (@jonunderscor) reported

    its been 3 months since overwatch 2 release and the 0 friends bug still exists replay codes are broken specifically on one of my accounts as well cmon...

  • ShiftySpelly ShiftySpelly (@ShiftySpelly) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent please fix your overwatch servers, I keep getting kicked from my games mid-match for a connection error. My wifi is fine and I have a very stable connection, so please fix it

  • VRDABaguette Baguetto (@VRDABaguette) reported

    @Daytona_Sans @MrsDrLupo I can like a series without it being a problem. I'm an avid overwatch player but don't SA women

  • smithlocke11 reincarnated as a SLIME👹 (@smithlocke11) reported

    @USCU_ORION @NyanSox I still think 2cp wasn't that bad but the team on overwatch didn't know how to encourage team play and 2cp falls apart then even at the highest levels. Which is why only overwatch players cry about 2cp (*** maps excluded) and now push. No other game with 2cp has this issue.

  • TomBoyComics 🇺🇲_TomBoy_🇺🇦 (@TomBoyComics) reported from Los Angeles, California

    Hey @PlayOverwatch fix you ranks!! Everytime I'm gold 5 about to level up, it said I was sliver 5... I was not. This has happened 3 times now. FIT IT!!!! #Overwatch #ranks

  • 21josephback MUNCHKIN 🫶 (@21josephback) reported

    @NotWunna Overwatch servers down ? Quit gawking me

  • Cathardigan Cathardigan (@Cathardigan) reported

    @KuganeGaming This was a problem seen when the overwatch devs revealed that players are effectively placed in an algorithm in which they will come out with a 50/50 Winrate no matter what. Lose too much? Make the other team comp be of lesser skilled players. Win too much? The opposite. This...

  • Rakuraiiiii Rakurai (@Rakuraiiiii) reported

    How I would fix overwatch Widowmaker: HP 200-175 Junkrat: Frag Launcger direct hit 120-110 Genji: Shurken damage 27-28 Genji: Maximum ammo 24-27 Hanzo PASSIVE: If Hanzo gets an elimination charge rate for primary fire increases by 35% Hanzo: Storm arrow cooldown 10-11 seconds

  • andyNgcobo7 Broly (@andyNgcobo7) reported

    @LumberjackRy It's ppl's fault for supporting live service...Activision is the heart of it, and xbox....so it's too late for ppl to pretend they don't like live service most bought xbox for FPS games like Halo, COD , overwatch etc..getting them all in one place

  • cvltsss luci's spawn (@cvltsss) reported

    i literally can not login to my overwatch account without being bombarded with invites

  • Exp0hero Exp0Hero (@Exp0hero) reported

    @Dreamsyncc @daddy_meganttv It’s not a bad game state if you just lose. And how many multiplayers would then have this same issue and moral conundrum? Overwatch, apex, according to you dbd, rogue, fortnite. Etc sure a lot of these games need better matchmaking but just take the L or the w and carry on

  • dustychunk onlyhams (@dustychunk) reported

    @BlizzardCS I just got suspended for an hour for dcing from a comp game in overwatch. Please fix. I don’t have an hour to wait.

  • BatFamNerd Mr. Venom (@BatFamNerd) reported

    @SplinterCal But that begs the question why do games like TF2 and Overwatch stick when they are the live service model?

  • brettclaxton Brett Claxton (@brettclaxton) reported

    Thought I'd finally check out Overwatch 2 and it's telling me I can't login because my phone number is already in use on another account and there's apparently no way to contest that. What an absolutely terrible system. Why on earth you even need a phone number I don't know.
