  • dsatter1 caliigulasAquarium (@dsatter1) reported

    @BlizzardCS Shot in the dark, more so as its not a "technical" issue. But had a few questions for overwatches art/design team regarding one of Soldier76s skins. Anyway i could get in contact with them?

  • mattrfact Matt (@mattrfact) reported

    @liabilitynotice They thought remaining McCree in Overwatch would solve the issue, since he was named after one of the accused. But yeah, blizzard lost a lot of respect from a lot of people. They had a “Bill Cosby Room” for Christ sakes. Idk what they expected.

  • zephyrtyr ZephyrTyr (@zephyrtyr) reported

    Zenyatta is possibly the most broken character in Overwatch…and it’s just facts. Don’t @ me

  • bullerbocken Smygfis (@bullerbocken) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN can u fix your fkn servers from crashing in overwatch ??????????

  • SleeprunnerInc Linedwell Rainrix (@SleeprunnerInc) reported

    @MoistSalt_ @TwitchSupport If ya set those up, then that's on you and not on twitch anymore. That's like blaming Blizzard for your macro in Overwatch not working.

  • BlizzardCSEU_EN Blizzard CS EU (@BlizzardCSEU_EN) reported

    @QweeenHannah There was an issue with the Overwatch servers at that moment too, however, because you left the match the suspension and SR loss would still have happened. We're sorry that this occurred, but if you disconnect from your Wi-Fi often it may be worth considering a wired connection.

  • VeryCherrySoda eve | #skytrailsmp (@VeryCherrySoda) reported

    @shellievator wait im gonna buy you overwatch does that mean im gonna get my own login info

  • DAG3NJ1WOLR1NE DA G3NJ1 WOLR1NE (@DAG3NJ1WOLR1NE) reported

    @CamaraderieCam @OverwatchNaeri Not yet but on a long waiting list blame the Company's mess and the poor victims of the Allegations as I mentioned and I feel sorry for the Staff who got ***** by the former creative directors in Overwatch who caused these problems.🙄🙄🙄🙄👎

  • maankavala god's personal little jester (@maankavala) reported

    @wodnesse Ohhh these are so good?? This is so funny because when I was into overwatch I got so fed up with hot junkrat.... u have proved me wrong this is great (I think the problem was a lot of ppl made him cishet lmao)

  • JpOuterHaven 💚🎃John🎃💚 (@JpOuterHaven) reported

    @ComicBook Its simple. Make a traditional Super Hero game. Great gameplay, solid story, free alternate skins, Chargeable DLC. Thats it. Stop trying to copy modern trends like Overwatch/Destiny/Fortnite Online bullshit. Arkham series & SpideyPS4 proved the wheel ain't broke. Don't fix it.

  • Etmorin35 Ethan Morin (@Etmorin35) reported

    @chaseshaco This is what Overwatch did to fix people getting flammed for not playing their main champ

  • RainbowChiii RainbowChi (@RainbowChiii) reported

    love playing my first warm up game and faceplanting into a hacker in Overwatch Sheesh #Overwatch guys name is farg. im betting 1 out of 10 widows in Overwatch don't cheat~ fix your game

  • Tadpole_art12 Tadpole 🍂❄ (@Tadpole_art12) reported

    I'm just so curious as to what kind of terrible Overwatch 2 will be. Delayed twice, Kaplan leaving. It's like a car crash you cant help but watch 💀

  • DJK77877238 Dan Kirkby ⓥ Ⓦ (@DJK77877238) reported

    @CTVNews I didn’t realize Verterns Affairs had staff assigned to provide veteran overwatch. Personally, I’ve only been contacted once since leaving the Army in 2012. In general, the entire Canadian system post service is pretty disgraceful compared to our allies

  • warzanow julen (@warzanow) reported

    Overwatch servers down bad

  • VaultRepXIV VAULT XIV (@VaultRepXIV) reported

    @Check8813 My main issue is pro players holding too much power since they have an audience, they complain and want to make the game better for their level of play and end up ruining the experience for casuals, look at Overwatch and how that game was ruined due to OWL and pro players

  • BlizzardCSEU_EN Blizzard CS EU (@BlizzardCSEU_EN) reported

    @FarderMan We did have a small issue with Overwatch around this time, some users were not able to connect to the servers, the issue should be resolved now, but if you can't connect still please let us know.

  • toficofi josh (@toficofi) reported

    overwatch is broken

  • zanatos2003 Brian McCorkle (@zanatos2003) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent In other words, you have nothing to announce because wow is failing, overwatch 2 is in total shambles, and Diablo 4s development has only completed the logo and you all are still scared to face the public regarding your internal issue...

  • TazToo3 TazToo (@TazToo3) reported

    just lost an overwatch match because my shield was broken and i could literally do nothing but watch the enemy rein who is mid-shatter flying through the air after a boop, hows your night going?

  • ZombieFlamer Flame (@ZombieFlamer) reported

    how to fix double shield in overwatch reduce damage overall for ALL DPS by 25% and reduce shield hp buy like 50% (yes I know they have done it already) doing that would make it so you don't die instantly if you don't have a shield and also makes it so shields aren't too strong

  • fishszns fish (@fishszns) reported

    @jinxyywinxy i used to play overwatch hella but i think i gotta find login

  • ReviceRex . (@ReviceRex) reported

    @ScubberszYT @PlayAvengers GOTG and this are two different things, this game is not only a story experience but GAAS(Game as a live service) If guardians was a live service, it would also monetize off of skins, all games as a live service do this, Valorant, Overwatch, DMO, etc.

  • Doritolover121 FreddyDorito🐲 (@Doritolover121) reported

    @posabule Glitch be sounding logical🤔She wasnt there when I logged on like an hour ago... Who be pressing random buttons in the overwatch hq?!

  • BiShitposter **** (@BiShitposter) reported

    @Pikampy The problem started by opening overwatch tbu

  • FraudSamuel False (@FraudSamuel) reported

    @TripleZed123 @Cazzuel @H3CZ That’s not the reason tho, overwatch killed their scene with broken patches and the same stale gameplay over and over again

  • knowzy_ow knowzy_ow (@knowzy_ow) reported

    overwatch broken don't q

  • darixzen darix (@darixzen) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN @PlayOverwatch any idea when your overwatch servers will not crash unexpectedly anymore? you punish players for "leaving a game" when it crashes.

  • Angstro00347744 Angstrom (@Angstro00347744) reported

    Overwatch potato servers MAAAAAAAAN. Every single game shuts down due to an unexpected error. FIX THE GAME!

  • Snowiii95 Snowiii (@Snowiii95) reported

    @makkresh_sims So far I got Overwatch and Error trap and they're super handy! Tried story progression but was laggy and wasn't sure how to set it 😭
