    OVERWATCH TEAM FIX YOUR ******* GAME I CANT TAKE IT WHY DID YOU THINK EVEN FOR A SECOND THAT THE NEW DAMAGE ROLE PASSIVE WAS EVEN REMOTLY OK???? ALSO IT REALLY SEEMS LIKE THE TEAM IS IMCAPABLE OF CONSIDERING HOW BROAD/GENERAL CHANGES INDIRECTLY NERF OR BUFF CHARACTERS! INSANE!!!

  • Steelcryo Steelcryo (@Steelcryo) reported

    @pcgamer I'm the same. Love Overwatch, but happy to admit it has some issues. All the changes Blizzard are making just feel like they're creating more issues rather than fixing the ones that are there. Putting anything gameplay changing on a battle pass is a ******* terrible idea.

  • SuffusedNight ✨✨✨ (@SuffusedNight) reported

    The ******* drift got so bad when I was playing Overwatch that I just started beating the ******* thing against my table until the joystick came out. I fixed my drift problem though!

  • ArthurMorgancal Arthur morgan Callehan (@ArthurMorgancal) reported

    @ybbetterthanu @Xbox Ps has no cod 🤫🤫🤫🤫 Ps has no crash 🤫🤫🤫🤫 Ps has no overwatch 🤫🤫🤫 Ps has no role play games🤫🤫

  • tripleshotx tripleshotx (@tripleshotx) reported

    @OverwatchLatAm Fix your server it's not working

  • spicycate Softy! (@spicycate) reported

    @M1STERRYAN Oh no I thought you were just having like technical issues... I can at least say it's not as annoyingly busted as overwatch so you'll have fun when it comes out

  • omistar2392 0mistar (@omistar2392) reported

    @LazTheBesT Blizzard has an issue when betas release. You just have to keep opening the app till it lets you unless the beta still hasn't been activated by Blizzard. Same thing happened with the Overwatch 2 beta before

  • croutonadjacent Sean Foley (@croutonadjacent) reported

    Jeff Kaplan is trending and I though it was the overwatch guy returning IN GLORY to fix Overwatch 2. It is not. go about you day.

  • ow_riki |• RIKI •| (@ow_riki) reported

    @Eldritch_Derg @BeanOfCatte Def a hilarious take. Paladins is in no way an overwatch clone but I’d say that basis for criticism is the least of its problems rn. His Hots review vid aged super poorly too but at least he came back and said a little “oopsie this game is good I was wrong oh well🥴” right??

  • GinnSucks Jen: Seeker of Chievs (@GinnSucks) reported

    Either Blizzard is completely unaware that their FOMO battle pass ideas are gonna make Overwatch 2 crash and burn or they know and just wanna kill the game. Either of those possibilities is extremely funny to me.

  • XaneDev Xane ツ 🇵🇷 (@XaneDev) reported

    @Kirby0Louise @picotrek This is actually they reason why they are doing this. For instance in Overwatch 2 you also require a phone number. This was done to avoid cheater and smurf accounts (dupes) which was a big problem in OW1. The change was actually appreciated by the community.

  • BatterSickle Batter & Sickle (@BatterSickle) reported

    @Romoolla Did they fix the movement and scale? I tried it in beta and it felt like an overwatch reskin with no weight or mecha feel. Hawken felt better If you can't damage arms/legs/parts or fly or stomp stuff or feel big then is it really even a mecha shooter?

  • draugr_tom Tommy Pasley (@draugr_tom) reported

    @tr1lane @macindaw37 @kassad I don’t know if the concept for the league was great Cus we don’t really have any evidence since the other issues that arose. I really don’t see any good argument for franchising coming from overwatch or valorant

  • KINGDOGBOY transMasx 🎃✨ (@KINGDOGBOY) reported

    @dickeroonis yeah I don't have any problem when it's someone else's name, it's just startling to hear it randomly (like an overwatch callout) and think for a brief moment they're talking to me

  • colmecolwag Samantha's Kinda Puffy r/n (@colmecolwag) reported

    My streak of "not seeing porn of the new overwatch character" has been broken, rip

  • Cal69_ Cal69 #UnicornQueen (@Cal69_) reported

    I just wanna overwatch but battlement says nah, there's an issue with the bnet app Ok so... Reinstall. Ffs

  • fatalsurge KA GA MI です (@fatalsurge) reported

    Splatoon seems to have the same issue as Overwatch where people just seem to forget that the objective isn't being a violent little monkey 99% of the time

  • rhythmgirlelle Emerald, Apparent (@rhythmgirlelle) reported

    sinking more matches into Evolution and yeah this game def could use a balance pass. mainly Barbatos. but outside of that i'm noting casual play suffers the exact same problem overwatch does "unga bunga gotta kill" guys. this is objectives. the point is right there. stand on it.

  • BotWithOpinions Video Game Opinion Bot (@BotWithOpinions) reported

    Tekken 3 is only inexpensive because it has Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifles and a extremely designed Beam Katana

  • KingLev_ KingLev 🎰🍓 (@KingLev_) reported

    I remembered why I stopped playing Overwatch. Comp system is broken asf.

  • Tunavi Tunavi (@Tunavi) reported

    @PNWEngOfDoom @jamescornell121 @PlayOverwatch Tell me "I have no idea how any of this works" without saying "I have no idea how any of this works." Overwatch is not a welfare service. But to answer your question this map is free for everyone.

  • MadeInGucci443 Made In Gucci (@MadeInGucci443) reported

    @EpicFunnyName The lack of sfm and blender overwatch nsfw really does mean the no communication no advertisement strategy is for some odd unknown reason not working

  • KinoKutie Kino 🥖🌸 (@KinoKutie) reported

    When overwatch two comes out i need someone to put a shock collar on me every single time i even consider playing mercy. This is not a joke. I have a problem. Train my brain.

  • xLuckyBunny luckybunny✨ (@xLuckyBunny) reported

    @EndersFPS Game is easier than overwatch, worse atmosphere/graphical/sound design than overwatch, less fps than overwatch, worse mouse input than over watch (needs command fix), But it's not overwatch so that's a plus.

  • Dario87201212 Dario (@Dario87201212) reported

    @MrBeast The truth is that games like overwatch 2 are close to the market, a game that has no errors, bugs and that in a few words is perfect because of course Blizzard has economic resources that Hirez does not have.

  • HammerSamss HammerSam (@HammerSamss) reported

    @PlayOverwatch can’t seem to log onto overwatch on Xbox. Keeps coming up with “unable to login”.

  • Indorage jenga (@Indorage) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Xbox overwatch still not working

  • OverwatchConsp1 Overwatch Conspiracy Theories (@OverwatchConsp1) reported

    If one player does something stupid, it's a problem. If all players do the same stupid thing, it's a strategy. #overwatch

  • HoundInDisguise ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ (@HoundInDisguise) reported

    @pcgamer Overwatch has been flushing itself down the toilet for a good while now, but this is actually a positive change since Geoff had a hand in bringing in and/or maintaining some of the most busted heroes. Buuuut not going to hold out hope that his replacement would fix the issues.

  • Ghost77778 Ghost777 (@Ghost77778) reported

    Overwatch 1 went to **** and overwatch 2 will prolly be just as **** because instead of fixing the problem with the original game they just decided to make overwatch 2 but even still the game is practically overwatch 1 with some new characters, some new maps and some new skins…
