    @ReviewsPossum Dude trying to make it sound like a round of overwatch with balancing issues

  • DreadpirateRomy Romolus (Vaxxed and still wearing a mask, fools.) (@DreadpirateRomy) reported

    @MrsP123 -WoW off and on -76 off and on -Overwatch until I get too annoyed at folks I'm forced to group with. -Fortnight solos, just enough to scratch the Nuclear Winter itch (I've opted to not buy anything for that game, due to poor costumer service from EPIC) -ACNH,building up my Island

  • entmiruru entmiruru (@entmiruru) reported

    @AetherMoose @dafran The problem with Overwatch is structural, any FPS game should not have tank dps support settings, all successful FPS games on the market only have characters with similar abilities, not character settings.

  • XeroForever XeroForever (@XeroForever) reported

    @OW_ICED I think the problem is: is that it effectively kills the popularity or even the potential of other hero arena shooters. Like why play this "when you could just play Overwatch". Battleborne died, Lawbreakers died, Crucible shot itself in the foot kind if but it had some thing cool

  • SonyaLynn SonyaInTheBin (@SonyaLynn) reported

    @joshhaber @Julius_Kim Yeah, the FPS comment is pretty off the mark, unlike the rest. The FPSs that glorify realistic guns, combat, and killing are a problem, IMHO, but there are also FPSs with a far more cartoonish and harmless quality, like Fortnite and Overwatch. As always, YMMV.

  • N1CKO1ASX 𝒟𝑅𝒜𝒞𝒪/𝐼𝓃𝒹𝑒𝓍𝓎 (@N1CKO1ASX) reported

    @maybegothdad @overwatchleague With all due respect, you seem confused. It’s not the league, it’s the game. Overwatch 2 lost all its viewership in a day. It isn’t a league problem, it’s a game problem. The game is long gone and any optimism of its revival is wishful thinking. Why would someone invest in it?

  • Male2Fujoshi clemmy (@Male2Fujoshi) reported

    originally i thought that SSRIs are meant to make me less depressed by causing me to sleep 16 hours a day limiting the time im awake and able to be depressed, but ive now started dreaming about playing overwatch so it's safe to say there is no escape and they are not working

  • KimmyKsbro kimmy Øksbro (@KimmyKsbro) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps AUTO HDR is broken Overwatch have random blackout

  • AWonderfulSound Solemn Sound (@AWonderfulSound) reported

    @indie__scum @AskPlayStation Overwatch... that's your problem.

  • DasRuedi DasRüdi (@DasRuedi) reported

    @arkclaimer Why would we need a sequel for a live service game? Did overwatch 2 really make people believe that games as such profit from sequels?

  • loljeb11 yaboijeb (@loljeb11) reported

    @KosmicKobra Wait until the PVE for Overwatch 2 comes out, ****** gonna be saying that Doomfist is too broken 💀

  • indie__scum indie__scum (She/They) 🔜 Anime Boston (@indie__scum) reported

    Tried to update overwatch like 7x today only to be kicked out and met with a Ce-30034-0 error :( @AskPlayStation

  • AclnGG Dash Criminal (@AclnGG) reported

    @blooprintgames Bad fps, broken rocks, terrible phone game like UI Unused monuments No true endgame since they remove every farm Broken nights Progression is too fast ONCE AGAIN THE UI's suck no skill in having a team now And now they are adding visual hitmarkers? What is this overwatch?

  • chubchilla1 Chubchilla (@chubchilla1) reported

    @VETTE____ @OW_ICED 343 can’t manage Halo Infinite. Based on what we have heard from devs, it seems like most of the issues with Overwatch stem from Activision Blizzard nonsense forcing them to spend months on ideas they don’t want to do then scrapping them after tons of work.

  • terror_taco Idk (@terror_taco) reported

    @CrackHeadAndres The problem was that he was from overwatch

  • for___SS ss ✶*.゚ (@for___SS) reported

    💛🧡💙's team name [ apex team name ] BL-Blame Lag , Bad Luck [ OW team name ] BLOW - Blame Lag OverWatch

  • aldevoirazeyma reapers?? any reapers in the chat 🔪 (@aldevoirazeyma) reported

    with the intent of just bugging people without being a real killing threat but the problem with this is if you want reaper (a dps btw) to be winston from overwatch you’re gonna have to do a bit more than they don’t die easily… just buff hysteria duration problem instantly solved

  • jobo_bo_bobobo neoliberal peanut goblin (@jobo_bo_bobobo) reported

    @NeverDankrupt @FroggerOW apparently, "continue working on it" was never part of the plan. "live service" was a totally new concept and overwatch was not designed with that in mind. unfortunately, overwatch's competitors (within its genre) have all failed so we may never see what a hero shooter can be

  • JeryceDia Jeryce Dianingana | Rocksteady (@JeryceDia) reported

    People are so unaware of "Africa" that when you make Afro art they will go through everything before saying it's actually reminding them of Africa Nop gotta be : - Atlantis, Majora Mask, Ghibli, Maori, Crash Bandicoot, League of legend, Overwatch, Manga etc etc. Or Wakanda

  • chrycottage pieng ´ཅ` (@chrycottage) reported

    Look like this apex's stream got nothing but just naming the team name! Now we have : bl ( blame lag, bad luck ) blow ( blame lag overwatch ) blrp ( blame lag rank point ) blnl ( blame lag nuts lover ) 🥹

  • TheNamesYurii Ꝃ Ꝍ Ꝟ 𐌄 Ꞑ (@TheNamesYurii) reported

    @Penguiinn1 @The_Apxche Ok bud you play a broken role and are upset when you can’t 1v6 because a shield was placed in front of you. OW2 literally ruins core fundamentals of OW1, aka, ruining overwatch.

  • nillamooon ☾ ⋆⁺₊⋆nilla⋆⁺₊⋆ ☽ (@nillamooon) reported

    Its anyone else's overwatch lagging so badly rn?

  • WorldsXbox XboxWorlds (@WorldsXbox) reported

    @MrGuruBill @OfficialXboxU Last year they had Crash 4, Tony Hawk and COD Vanguard. This year they have COD slated right now. Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 should be close though, either this year or next year.

  • 4fIow flow (@4fIow) reported

    over about 100 dps games this overwatch comp season i have a 48% accuracy and 14% crit accuracy on 76 and i still struggle to win games because of team if that doesn’t tell u the game is broken i dont know

  • MeldingQuixote Melding (@MeldingQuixote) reported

    @50TurnParty I do get annoyed that the long sword is very over represented when i'm playing multiplayer. gotta use the stumble proof decos so they don't trip me while being genji overwatch. but, that's more a player problem.

  • sebastiangozin Sebastian Gozin (@sebastiangozin) reported

    @ashly113_ Valorant has the same problem Overwatch has? A small map pool and no user created maps to "fix" the problem? Might as well stop playing the game.
