I see why people play Overwatch wasted. This Game's current state is the worst it's been in since beta 1. Without booze or friends there is no point in playing. And Blizzard is gonna drop a nothing patch that barley addresses the current issues. At this point we need OW3

@BlizzardCS I accidentally got my friends battlenet account for Overwatch stuck on my console for a year after putting in the wrong credentials for my account. Can you please help fix this without making him wait a year to get it back on his console? He has over $1000 invested.

@BrightsideFPS Tbh at this point no matter what any of them do from what i see the playerbase itself kills overwatch league on top of the *** hero balancing and i understand cuz its always the same 2 team comps, i can name allot of things but having 2 seoul teams is the least of OWL problems

@AlarmeColver @YatoAcosta Overwatch 2 give a critical hit to Paladins but the game has been carring problems for much time, by example the monotony of content since 2020

@GoldenboyFTW Not being able to play the game the pros were playing while VCT was popping off was too much for me. OWL carried my enthusiasm for Overwatch and now... trying to get back in feels like more trouble than it is worth

Can someone please explain why whenever I play overwatch the lag is terrible? It’s not my internet as I’ve tested it over & over again. Yet recently, only in the past few weeks, I’m rubber banding during matches. Fix your servers. @PlayOverwatch @OverwatchEU @ATVI_AB #overwatch

@Alexand89683221 With a No vote, nobody can either. So, imho, yes fix it and get stuff done, or no, drive both stocks to <$1 in a crooked market with no overwatch. You choose. Yup, you have a choice. Who you gonna blame now?

Overwatch 2's ranked system is actually ******* broken. I understand hidden MMR, but that **** should not only not exist, it should affect your actual SR. The whole system is bullshit.

@Qu1ckQu1et @DeadByBHVR I think they know about the issue. But companies tend to get holiday breaks and these days are not exception. Look at what happened to the twitch drops of Overwatch. 2, almost 3 ENTIRE DAYS without them. Excuse? "We were taking holiday break, so we are not working haha!"

I’ve officially decided to step down from the Overwatch team for Nova Uprise. I know we haven’t done anything yet due to some roster issues, but I have faith we’ll get things going ASAP. I will continue to oversee and help the OW team until I can find someone to replace me

vic- new year era 🎉
(@whoreiccells) reported
Stopped playing dbd bc the game is boring. I'm tired of the same **** every time. Overwatch is fun bc there's variety. There's not much room for variety in dbd and the game doesn't really encourage using off meta perk build, and the camping/tunneling issues haven't changed.

@FadeddFps don’t blame you but I posted about this recently that a lot of fps games run into similar problems right now, and apex might get stale for you some time from now and then you are back to overwatch not because they fixed it but because apex was just the same issues

@epthopper Blizzard does not balance their games around the highest skill curves. Hearthstone and Overwatch have had long-term balance issues because of it. No offence to the people who work long shifts, but their philosophy is incompetence.
