    @cheekdestroyer1 @RogueCompany Ever played Overwatch? Sombra can hack McCree to the point where he can't physically perform a forward-roll. I reckon glitch will disable Sigrid's shield, although I don't know if that's a good or bad thing yet, as she will be vital for pushing on maps with poor rotation.

    Seconds away from winning a match on #Overwatch and I get disconnected. Third time today. This is so frustrating, @Blizzard_Ent, please fix your game.

    Honestly it’s been over a full week of nonstop computer issues because stuff broke super hard-core on Friday after being bad all week, and then I decided to try to play overwatch and optimize my own desktop over the weekend so it’s just. UGH

  • B4DC0FFEE
    Giuseppe Navarria 🤌 (@B4DC0FFEE) reported

    @TheZagrod the overwatch cone supported only a single "layer", then I started supporting 3 different levels and each computed visibility on its own, we also had a bunch of problems with occlusion\being able to click over or under the navmesh, it was one of "those" weeks

    @FDRmoonandstar @MADBLACKTWlNK @GazeWithin Your claim of impossibility is fundamentally incorrect and purely a product of learned helplessness. Elect people who run platforms of police overwatch and budget reallocation and the problem will suddenly be manageable.

    The only issue is that I’m poor and I don’t have overwatch for the switch LMAO

    @R4ngaalol @YourOverwatchYT @SamitoFPS The problem is not that Moira is buffed. The problem is that Zen has no decent compositions which he has a role to flourish. Overwatch is not CSGO with abilities. If you want that, play valourant. Overwatch is a first person team based strategy game.

    475 "Uh, I mean, you'll definitely die a few times, but that's not a problem. Do you know Overwatch by any chance?" Yugyeom laughs, is relieved that Jeongguk's actually talking about an online game and not a real life surviving game,

    @oosp_ I'll give Overwatch ****, but the game itself is NOT my issue. DBD on the other hand still makes me wanna strangle people.

  • HighwayFPS
    Highway (@HighwayFPS) reported

    Can we fix overwatch's net code at least, like its cool if you guys dont understand balancing to even a novice level but at least fix all the rubber banding and no regs and stupid interactions we all just have to put up with everyday

  • pruegenira

    @PlayOverwatch I can't login to overwatch on PS4. I get to the press x part and it says error. Anyone else?

    @Hunnydip7 I don’t see a problem overwatch is only for strong muscular men

  • PrinzessinShiro
    Prinzessin (@PrinzessinShiro) reported

    I can't track probably because half of my shots don't reg on target anyway. These games doesn't feel good at all I'm looking forward to overwatch 2 and have high expectations on these problem to be solved. I wish to see a Crossplay system that have 1 of 2 options. 3/6

    Ya know, I really can’t wait to build my new pc. Like all this time I haven’t been able to really stream any fun games like Dead by Daylight, Overwatch, etc. without like major lag spikes so a new pc will open my streams up to brand new games!! Really wish I had it sooner tho lol

  • NonfatYeti
    yeti (@NonfatYeti) reported

    @lmorreale15 No I'm saying the rest of the ones I played weren't; hardly ran into issues on xbox besides people leaving their mics on in a loud environment, 95% of the people I've interacted with in TF2 were chill (in my 900 hrs of playtime), I mostly ran into it on overwatch and valorant

  • Paradox_EP
    Ethan Price (@Paradox_EP) reported

    @RnLAyee I believe Overwatch may have been designed from the ground up as a competitive game. Could be wrong but I believe so. Activision makes CDL bit still ignores any idea that Cod should maybe be centered around competitive design. That's the problem.

    @SuperFoxcade @PatStaresAt Pat has a microtransaction problem. Does no one remember the Overwatch lootbox expenditure?

    Officially retired from Xbox Comp after my ddos. Only comp I’ll be grinding is on pc. Smh overwatch nerds are ******* and virgins. My body account is what they wish they got paid hourly...

    @IJ0Px6zlap7cqpv @AqoursSunshlne overwatch is actually one of the most fun FPS' out there and im not even lying it just has a LoL problem

  • scottycj256

    @dvon_p @wowser_ @nintendolife which is also a huge problem in pretty much any major esport like League, Overwatch, CoD, Starcraft, etc.

    @AskPlayStation Error code,CE-34875 Console,regular ps4 (Not Ps4 pro to clear confusion) Game,Overwatch This hasn't happened with other games just randomly happened.

    I've felt more fulfilled with my laptop broken this week and it's definitely to do with not being able to even play Overwatch.

  • snarbages

    @catratharsis i said i like overwatch and hate blizzard do u see my problem and every annoying league player as far as the eye could see replied with "ur problem is u like overwatch"

  • frisbeespls

    @pawbggers it’s actually not too bad! i’ve never had a problem playing any of my games. halo, overwatch, etc etc. it’s pretty good, but it time for an upgrade. i’ll have to get a new cpu and motherboard as well though @-@

  • aragomen_
    Mady💙 (@aragomen_) reported

    @GYOMEIFUCKER69 I think so but the issue I had is he voices Törbjorn from Overwatch which is a VERY different character but also he voices a villain from a show I used to watch so hearing it I’m like just weirded me out cause all I could think of is that villain

  • GeneralPigeon
    GeneralPigeon (@GeneralPigeon) reported

    Hot? Take Non game effecting cosmetic Items should ONLY exist in a game with marketplace. Overwatch Loot Boxes are stupid as hell. Tf2 market place, while it has it's own issues, is way better as a system. The company should never be ONLY ******* that can give items. Free Market

  • PillsPhils
    phil (SRB2K COMMS OPEN 2/2) (@PillsPhils) reported

    @pack_basic and i dont think thats a problem, i dont agree that people only played overwatch over TF2 because its new, but I think its due to TF2 not being easy for new players to ease into, especially with weapon unlocks and lack of tutorial

  • gogobebyul
    my (be)love(d friend) 🥰 #AlwaysWithYoo 🐶 (@gogobebyul) reported

    Im sitting at work playing overwatch on my switch because I have to wsit for the building inspector to leave before I can fix my room, im done with remote learning, and the PD doesn't apply to preschool, so im here until 3 doing nothing.

  • kipplekipp
    andrea duarte, delta wing witch (@kipplekipp) reported

    @KhloePrower @CaseyExplosion i had that one too lol, in my case at least it seemed linked to the character trait that makes you overwatch automatically at the start of a fight, and would fix itself after certain animations like throwing a grenade or using certain skills

  • PawbBeans
    🔞 Ms. Emi Pawbs the Furst (@PawbBeans) reported

    @EskayOW overwatch has a really **** issue with introducing dumb overtuned kits w their new heros. orisa? sigma? BAP? feels like the only characters without a lot in their kits (and some semblance of theme) is ana, sombra, and ball tbh. not to mention bap's kit is ******* stupid LMAO WHY
