  • sharosudo Amber A-D (@sharosudo) reported

    @lazygamereviews As a collector of limited or expensive anime and video game figures. Funko pops make me gag. They are ugly af. The only one I own is a overwatch meka which actually just looks like the robot. First world problems though.

  • BeaningAround Bean (@BeaningAround) reported

    @PlayOverwatch When will you fix the comp rank not showing bug and the ”we need a healer” even tho there are healers bug? #Overwatch #bug

  • heysohn ノア (@heysohn) reported

    @BlizzardCS overwatch ps4 servers are very bad please fix or i’ll send my widowmaker after you

  • Enrique45149172 Enrique Soriano (@Enrique45149172) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent So what's the issue with overwatch? I've spent 12 minutes in a quick play queue. Is the game broken or nobody just playing. About to uninstall this again.

  • miriammirwitch Miriam Mirwitch (@miriammirwitch) reported

    Is anyone else experiencing a movement bug on Overwatch for Xbox at the movement? Midway through the match I can’t control my character’s movements and it glitches. Tried with two different controllers and the issue persists. @PlayOverwatch

  • GrahamKirkwood1 Enjoy_The_Quiet (@GrahamKirkwood1) reported

    @IGN Overwatch 2 could have a ping system? Overwatch 2 is barely a game at this point! It's overwatch 1.5 at best! If you've been annoyed at Overwatch and expect the sequal to fix the problems, get ready to be disappointed!

  • marxistgowon apollowo (@marxistgowon) reported

    hm i was feeling rly frustrated in my overwatch scrim sunday because when i was sombra they had 4 ppl spychecking me at any given moment but that means i was causing them issues before they did that, so i was actually playing well i guess

  • MarkLayne15 Layne Esports (@MarkLayne15) reported

    @Pittfan1852 Part of the issue is that there is not a single professional female overwatch player from Comoros, showing how misogynistic the are.

  • GodComplexLast Galast (@GodComplexLast) reported

    am I the only one unable to login into overwatch ?

  • luizmalaka MalaKa (@luizmalaka) reported

    @SMITEGame WE JUST GOT TIAMAT WTF. the last time we had a Support was over a year ago, with Yemoja....... the game is going towards the same problem as Overwatch. no class diversity at all

  • DrKenobii DrKenobi (@DrKenobii) reported

    Went on a SICK 7 game losing streak in Overwatch last night. Had 5 of the 7 games have people disconnect or throw on my team so thats great. Any suggestions on new games I should try?

  • alvska 🦋 (@alvska) reported

    playing overwatch doesn't help with my anger management problem

  • mscrazyjno Jurnt (@mscrazyjno) reported

    computer surgery successful! i am now testing if it fixed my problem and that is by playing overwatch for a long period of time and tbh i think this is the most painful part of the process

  • DeVonteC12 Ibuproven🧢🌺 (@DeVonteC12) reported

    @HahaThisSucks @arvindfps1 @alphaINTEL The “reason” would be because of power creep. Personally I have never had an issue with Valk but when a new hero drops and they instantly becomes SS+ tier, devs first move is always to nerf. (Overwatch, Smite, RS6, etc.)

  • SuperZinba SuperZinba (@SuperZinba) reported

    @Brando082001 @TheKiwiDragon ****, works for Overwatch and CoD. I can't blame fellow Crash and Spyro fans for bitching at Blizzard-Activision when it gets results.

  • GrahamKirkwood1 Enjoy_The_Quiet (@GrahamKirkwood1) reported

    Any and all problems you have within Overwatch 1 will still be there! No MMR reset, no rebalancing of hero's, no overhaul of maps. Graphical updates sure but must be standardised for the base consoles due to integration between the two, every showcase off overwatch 2... (2)

  • iamrockhard Rock MacDaniel (@iamrockhard) reported

    Very telling about the fandom’s life experience level that Overwatch fans think the problem with the game has been the people who work on the game. Just saying it’s very rarely the actual designers lacking ambition.

  • romanovsASS ⭐️ (@romanovsASS) reported

    If he offers them love it’s his problem if he is approached... make a clear decision for women and you only need to defend her against jealous lovers and not in addition your own bud. This is so sad to overwatch Germany at this point. What a proud nation they have been when

  • xviinight Alejandro 🇻🇪 (@xviinight) reported

    Console overwatch. If they aren't mouse & keyboarding they are playing broken heros & metas. No honor or skill. Just teenagers that want ow clout

  • EevieTrigger Eevie (@EevieTrigger) reported

    The big issue with overwatch's balance is the absolute crushing weight of whatever dominant meta is there at the time, and depending on which characters are a part of it, your main could essentially just become unplayable for 1 or 2 months until it finally gets nerfed

  • roleplayertimmy Timothy Vasser (@roleplayertimmy) reported

    @BlizzardCS Having a problem with Overwatch on Xbox One. It did not give me my two matches to count towards Echo skin even though I won them

  • RyanKonky Ryan Konkolewski (@RyanKonky) reported

    @miriammirwitch @PlayOverwatch This has been a problem from time-to-time on all consoles/PC for years and seems to happen when it's trying to do too much. Rebooting and running only Overwatch (nothing in BG) usually fixes it.

  • roleplayertimmy Timothy Vasser (@roleplayertimmy) reported

    @BlizzardCS having issues with Overwatch. Please respond

  • TheSharkJumper Mud-Dragon (@TheSharkJumper) reported

    @BlizzardCS Overwatch on PS4 Week 2: Bird of Paradise Echo not counting wins. "Wins count as two games" is false. Two wins counted as one, one win counted as two, fourth counted as zero. It's bad enough that this event requires more wins, but right now it's broken.

  • SapphicCykes Vree ⚢ 🏳️‍🌈∞ @ aa3-3 (@SapphicCykes) reported

    @Monado17 oh, that’s always been a problem frankly just mute chats. there’s nothing useful to be gained from using em, overwatch isn’t a team game until you get to OWL level and yes that includes bronze-gm

  • Kurai_Tenshi26 Kurai (@Kurai_Tenshi26) reported

    Been having trouble with enjoying things lately. I constantly dismiss any good things I do with stuff like “oh they just did something dumb, you were lucky” etc. This is seeping into my smash, pokemon, overwatch, literally everything competitive I do. I don’t know what to do 😭

  • BotWithOpinions Video Game Opinion Bot (@BotWithOpinions) reported

    Many Mortal Kombat games are romantic but most of them would be ambitious if they had a Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle, flak cannon, and dog

  • PANCAKlE vivien 🐒🍌 (@PANCAKlE) reported

    i think one of the biggest problems in overwatch is nobody ever wants to admit when they're wrong or they make a bad play & instead blame it on others and it not only lowers everyone else's morale but the game just ends on a sour note/no one improves

  • GrahamKirkwood1 Enjoy_The_Quiet (@GrahamKirkwood1) reported

    Any story progress will be tide to weekly and monthly updates not unlike games as a service e.g Destiny. Overwatch is overwatch and it'll still be fun, but this is nothing more than a £60 update. The point I'm making is, temper expections and you won't be disappointed!
