    @Maplechu_ Yooo look at that positive rp pog overwatch sr glitch prsd activates...

  • jonhr13 Jon 🧠 (@jonhr13) reported

    We really though Mercy’s 6 man was rez was not the most the most broken ultimate in overwatch

  • FMC_00 FMC_00 (@FMC_00) reported

    My nuclear take about this issue is that characters should be free in fighting games, like in overwatch.

  • KirbyCheatFurby Anthony (@KirbyCheatFurby) reported

    @KatsuneUK oh i know not everyone is like that, but it sounds like it could be a relatively common problem to deal with in a game like overwatch

  • ladyeClAiR Kirsty J (@ladyeClAiR) reported

    Toxicity in video games towards women is something that needs to be addressed. If a man says something in a voice chat, there's little issue, but if a woman is caught in voice coms it becomes a huge issue #overwatch #OW2

  • LevyNeptoon I glued a block of wood to Jonny's foot (@LevyNeptoon) reported

    .....I think I'm gonna heat up my leftover Taco Bell and then play more Overwatch. I don't have a problem again, nuh uh

  • jooster13 Lisa Burmeister (@jooster13) reported

    @CoryLaflin And hey, I used to crash out of Overwatch all the time. It happens. Gotta not get so down on yourself over it

  • CreamySpe After-Darkitty (@CreamySpe) reported

    @Kea_AD I imagine it’s because of the games they began with being Overwatch and WOW respectively, xQc was already plenty popular with OW’s freshness alone The problem is that neither of these big streamers feel like they have a community, chat is just of unreadable noise or harassment

  • MadAtTheGalaxy MadAtTheGalaxy (@MadAtTheGalaxy) reported

    @Kermit120445 @JaninevanZyl9 lol, uffcorse it was fraud, if it was not it woude have elector overwatch as normal places do, many stories about people who tried to keep watch over it voiced there problems that it did not happen legit,

  • MikeDaLGND MIKE 🤪 (@MikeDaLGND) reported

    @ImGriizz @PBrain1401 @_XboxNews The only way to know for sure is to give them time, and obviously for the deal to come through. But at least for major established titles like COD, Crash, Spyro, Tony Hawk, Overwatch, Diablo, etc this is more about expanding Game Pass than cutting people on certain platforms off.

  • itsmeChis Chris Kornaros (@itsmeChis) reported

    The single best part of some Overwatch content creators slowly falling out of GM, them learning about smurfs. The copium for years that smurfing wasn’t a problem probably created more.

  • platdva evie 🫶🏻 (@platdva) reported

    had to quit overwatch cause i had a glitch im gonna get temp banned from comp oh lord

  • ShawnRomo_ Shawn Romo (@ShawnRomo_) reported

    Overwatch matchmaking is broken

  • flynn_mccracken The Lord Of War (@flynn_mccracken) reported

    @craig2835 @Ich2r You know, I didnt think of that. Its a good idea cuz then where ever the computer gets used, you cant play overwatch there. Only problem is that people can screw over other people by connecting to their internet.And if they use a vpn they will be fine

  • Chatterboxfox_ Monica (@Chatterboxfox_) reported

    Hey @overwatch could you please fix the game so that we don’t get pulled into a game that immediately loses thanks

  • U_ULantern ✧ Einnx ✧ (@U_ULantern) reported

    I think it's funny that the only reason why i rarely spend money on my special interests is because I did it for overwatch then i realized i had a gambling problem. also i don't care for skins anymore, i like grinding for stuff anyways

  • Patrik24693087 Patrik (@Patrik24693087) reported

    @RogueCompany WHO asked for 3v3? ONLY new people.... Problem with competitive Is not a 3v3, 4v4,5v5 or 7v7 but the stupid matchmaking. RoCo Will Have the same fate as Overwatch... Good job.

  • AJPlays05 AH (@AJPlays05) reported

    @infrarogue89 But they don’t…? Phil has already said Cod is staying multiplat. That’s all that really matters besides maybe Overwatch or maybe even Crash. Regardless, not that big of a deal.

  • Grillinessou NoTw (Ray) (@Grillinessou) reported

    @castlerea__ It's been an annoying problem with Overwatch for a long time now. Wish they would do something about the leavers.

  • kzrlp 𓆝 𓆟 𓆜 𓆞 (@kzrlp) reported

    how do i get into console overwatch mercy tiktok so i can get me a low diamond healbot egirl to fix

  • luciferdoII donna !! 🖤 ash luv bot (@luciferdoII) reported

    i was about to fly off the handles with a full fledged overwatch rant oops. i have a lot of issues with that franchise, which is a shame bc it had so much potential to be something truly great

  • B0ULIANNE Remi (@B0ULIANNE) reported

    I was not able to play OVERWATCH, League of Legends and WoW They’re telling me “work and we will leave you alone” which is completely insane because they’re not even working right now! Ciment geometry people (construction) talking **** about people not working

  • viollous Viollous 🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦 (@viollous) reported

    I not gonna lie, quitting Overwatch was the hardest thing I had to do and I wasn't able to get over my ex of 4 years for an entire 8 months 💀 It's been over a year now and sometimes I get the urge to login once again

  • ivebeangood Bean (@ivebeangood) reported

    @FLMayhem The largest issue this game has faced is the lack of tutorial, the tutorial teaches the most basic fps mechanics but fails to teach the most basic game sense concepts, other blizzard strategy games like StarCraft or hearthstone do a great job of this so why not overwatch?

  • X_Life_Style X Life Style (@X_Life_Style) reported

    @BootseyTV @infrarogue89 Continue is a key word, same like they used the word legacy with Bethesda They won't remove any game that already exist on Playstation, not talking about new games Call Of Duty Warzone Call Of Duty 2022, 2023 Overwatch Diablo 4 Next Crash (already in development) That's it 💀

  • OkamiHouse Oki-san V.0 🐺🏯 (@OkamiHouse) reported

    @nancelott_uwu I wish #battlenet wasnt asking me to re buy my copy of #overwatch when i clearly bought it and have been playing it on my stream for like a year plus -___- i better not have issues with playing the beta

  • packysmith Packy (@packysmith) reported

    @JezCorden Nothing cancelable in this statement. Overwatch is a top tier shooter. It’s biggest problem recently is the lack of meaningful updates to the game coupled with the palpable desire for Blizzard to release Overwatch 2.

  • KohakuNakatomi Kohaku ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪ 🎸🎼 | ThighHighVT🧦 (@KohakuNakatomi) reported

    Sorry game is being switched to Overwatch! Capture card issues sadly 🥺

  • danmcCoy3 THE GREAT TOM CRUISE SHIP (@danmcCoy3) reported

    @Alex_zedra @JakeSucky @IShowSpeed Why is it every game riot makes is cursed with this ****. Im not talking general trash talk, im talking **** this. League and Valorant have this problem. Overwatch...havnt played it in a while but I have seen this **** there too. Cod.....havnt seen it there all that much.

  • WildBoyFriend Best Boyfriend (@WildBoyFriend) reported

    so instead of installing overwatch I went to a few ow streams last night. Looks like misery. Hope ow 2 can relieve that. More than likely it will be more misery. Like misery -- but since you made such a long drawn out issue about wanting it and where is it that they have to smile
