  • GarebearMotions Garebear 👨🏿‍🚀 (@GarebearMotions) reported

    @JulesBjorn People are starting to realize Overwatch is broken and is beyond salvation

  • Miacoda Mia 🦖 (@Miacoda) reported

    I just think it would be cool if WoW could get the Overwatch 2 treatment one day but I’m not sure how realistic of an idea that is or if it would even fix anything. Either way, it’s an interesting conversation to have, I think!

  • foxicorns charlie 🦋🦊 (@foxicorns) reported

    first video game: crash bandicoot 2 last video game: overwatch best video game: portal 2 worst video game: dead by daylight

  • Rebellion2k17 Rebellion2k17 (Koala) (@Rebellion2k17) reported

    @its_jessiebee Yep! All 6 of those accounts are going to be de-ranked to 500 SR and then sold as smurf accounts 🙃 Overwatch has no issues whatsoever.

  • Darkest_clone Darkestclone (@Darkest_clone) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_DE Hi Blizzard, I want to ask if there any option to pick servers in Overwatch instead of automatically connecting us to the closest server. I am having problems with que times in the MiddleEast it takes approximately 50~ min for a single master game. Thank you

  • Ceroooooo77 Cero (@Ceroooooo77) reported

    @xLovelyPop @clairv0ya @PlayOverwatch Yeah exactly how it was for me too. Never had issues until recently too it's so weird. I genuinely think it's overwatch.

  • AshcensionTV Ashcension (@AshcensionTV) reported

    Overwatch ranked is such a joke, why do I put the effort in and communicate if every match I get today is toxic as hell no matter my performance and if people are choosing to not counter the heroes giving us the most trouble. If only my BFF was still able to play Apex...

  • UmpaSmurf94 Pumpking (@UmpaSmurf94) reported

    Anyone having trouble with connection on psn / overwatch servers?

  • ToeJamzz ToeJamzz (@ToeJamzz) reported

    @Goddess_R6 I'm getting port network issues way more often then usual now. Lagging in the middle of reinforcing, battles, etc. Doesn't happen in Overwatch, Apex Legends, Risk of Rain, or any other game I can think of right now.

  • Stalast Duncan (@Stalast) reported

    If you have a real, genuine personal issue with someone based on the hero they are playing in Overwatch, it's time for you to go outside.

  • PineMidnight Midnight Pine (@PineMidnight) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Hey there, for the past two days overwatch has kicked me out of games and then blizzards application has gone down completely, but other users have no issues what so ever, what is happening?

  • ZenoKagemaru Snake Queen Zeno (@ZenoKagemaru) reported

    @BtGamer2000 @schmepppp @OWAnonymous_ Oh, boo-hoo, some giant baby wrongly blames a hero who did nothing wrong besides counter the ACTUAL Overwatch killer, Tracer. If it wasn’t for Tracer’s broken mobility and kill potential, and for that matter, the bias surrounding her, Brigitte never would’ve been added.

  • firelakeco 🔥 DREAMZ 🔥 (@firelakeco) reported

    A game where TEAM performance dictates your "competitive" rating - if someone is playing badly but REFUSES to change it up - you have every right to criticize them... but not in the nursery of Overwatch. Fix the system! Reward players for individual performance as well!

  • lilreexe Lilreexe (@lilreexe) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent can you fix Overwatch and make it less laggy all the ******* time thanks

  • andryunderscore Andry (@andryunderscore) reported

    @GetSpectrum your internet is absolute garbage! Two days of outage after outage!!! How am I supposed to play overwatch with my friends >:(

  • regalfrequency roy (@regalfrequency) reported

    Overwatch is a mess. I genuinely don’t see how slapping on a “2” is going fix so many issues in less than a year

  • Lowceeblow 🍎Linda-splaining🍎(Underling) (@Lowceeblow) reported

    @CoochiePig @AnimeLover22519 @ATVI_AB Overwatch is a mess but at least when they fix a hero the fix works. Unless its roadhog

  • sabretooth_27 SABRETOOTH (@sabretooth_27) reported

    @StealthIsHere how not to fix your life in all of what is could be: play overwatch

  • Stryxus Stryxus (@Stryxus) reported

    Overwatch: I VALUE DOOMFIST ABOVE EVERYTHING, HE ISNT BROKEN. *previous game against him* *I tell other team to prepare for doomfist* *He tries using my 'mercy player' to be toxic* *He picks genji and doesn't do anything most of the game* *I get POTG as Zenyatta*

  • casual_streamer Casual Streamer (@casual_streamer) reported

    >Start rigging my model >Something happens and i get distracted >Find a new netflix show and binge an entire season in 2 days >get addicted to overwatch too >completely forget about rigging i have issues

  • biggestsonicfan SaltyFreeman (@biggestsonicfan) reported

    Looks like upgrading Wine did not fix my issue. Got another Overwatch crash.

  • ShammySum SumShammy (@ShammySum) reported

    @icyveins Depending on Overwatch competition, I could see that being diminished; per the 10-k filing, both CoD and Overwatch pro leagues had diminished capacity due to C-19 It'd be nice to see it broken out by game instead of general: WoW seems to be the majority of the increase 19 - 20

    @RedexBB I've been openly gay/bi for as long as I've been playing overwatch and I've had zero issues with people idk about being a woman. what I've learned is that not many people with intially have a problem with you unless you give them a reason to

  • JavierMunoz21 Javier Munoz | 6 days left 🎂 (@JavierMunoz21) reported

    @MegamanRA So Crash 4 and Overwatch are the only games that I’m going to buy. After this, never buying it from them ever again!

  • YourLuckyNum7 Your Lucky Number 7 (@YourLuckyNum7) reported

    "just mute chat lol" that doesn't fix the fact that the majority of the playerbase is toxic. i literally had less toxicity in all of my overwatch games combined than i did for a handful of league games
