  • Iamme57373 Iamme (@Iamme57373) reported

    @Apply I had the same issue, I just uninstalled overwatch, ptr and owl viewer and then battle net, I installed it again from the website, no weird updates for now

  • MuffinzCat Muffin 🔞 (@MuffinzCat) reported

    @OrtizYohnny @The888J @bdsams Overwatch was never good, i feel like a broken record saying that game awards are made by people that don't play games for fun and it shows... A lot

  • KennedyConfused KennedyIsConfused (@KennedyConfused) reported

    @Spoo_Kay Same thing that happened to overwatch a year or two ago, they add **** that doesn’t work but they won’t admit they messed up so they add more **** hoping it’ll fix it

  • EeveeA_ EeveeA 🧡 VTUBER (@EeveeA_) reported

    Patch for Overwatch should be rolling out that fixes the exploit allowing people to target and crash streamer's games.

  • xBigCatx Big Cat (@xBigCatx) reported

    @ItsFuzzyPickles Universal could buy Crash and Spyro - IMO they should go wherever together. Overwatch feels like it should be an independently company that buys the IP.

  • Iamme57373 Iamme (@Iamme57373) reported

    @Apply I had the same issue, I just uninstalled overwatch, ptr and owl viewer and then banye net, I installed it again from the website, no weird updates for now

  • emarasuOW 🌸Emma🌸 (@emarasuOW) reported

    @FlippinAngie 10 heroes are broken so there the only playable heroes is more accurate for overwatch

  • Yagasaki7K · 𝕐𝕒𝕘𝕒𝕤𝕒𝕜𝕚 @ 𝕃𝕀𝕃 𝕋𝕎𝕏𝕄 · (@Yagasaki7K) reported

    Thanks @Blizzard_Ent for steal my money. I gift my friends on credit card paying Overwatch and wait for four hours and nothing ... What's the problem with your plataform?

  • Ramez05 Ramez | #NewWorldMMO (@Ramez05) reported

    @Neopabo2 have they? i think the main reason people stop playing activision games like cod, overwatch and wow is because they are bored of them not because they give af about social issues.

  • grinninsquash Quarantine Jeans (@grinninsquash) reported

    @Nohbdy2020 @JonComms They layed off over 800 people during a year of record profit and yet you weirdo shills keep making this argument. Sorry you wanted to play overwatch 2 and still pretend you cared about the issue.

  • Bulby37 Bulby37 (@Bulby37) reported

    @The_LastFudo Agreed, I’m not going to dispute the bias angle, people are inherently biased quite often. The no 2d rule is bunk though, there’s just a bias towards single player, story driven games that only Overwatch had broken through to win GotY from TGA.

  • Hello3167 Hello3167 (@Hello3167) reported

    @KuV3dR @Halo @Twitch My issue isn't the hip fire thing, I play games like overwatch that are mostly hip fire as well, I'm talking about the actual movement of your aim when you move the thumbstick feels veylry clunky. It doesn't even feel like old halos

  • LeystTv Leyst (@LeystTv) reported

    @RaneMstSage @VrynThorn They enjoy to work on wow, overwatch etc. I don't get why they should leave? They are trying to make a change within the company. Leaving won't solve anything. The problem will still be here. New employees will join. And nothing would be solved.

  • butthetruthis1 ..but the truth is: (@butthetruthis1) reported

    @YongYea Sounds like the right time to release some gameplay from the Diablo and Overwatch sequels. They won't address the problems, but they'll try to distract from it and historically a lot of gamers will look the other way

  • Harley43033 Rooster_Senpai (aka Harley_Gibson) (@Harley43033) reported

    For everyone hoping they'll fix overwatch, it's not happening. If you haven't realized @Blizzard_Ent doesn't even care about its own employees let alone what the pc and console players of their games want fixed.

  • peachposting 🌺 Peachu 🌺 (@peachposting) reported

    @weeabob You don’t get it... it’s really important that he plays overwatch and spends money on skins that show tracers feet without feeling like he’s part of the problem

  • Tnecwin The Hallow ten (@Tnecwin) reported

    @Magolor44 @Zingus5 I mean... Overwatch is NOT a bad game. I genuinely would say it is overall a really good game. It has issues (as all games do) but it itself isn't even remotely close to bad.

  • c7haddad RK9 (@c7haddad) reported

    @Kaijammo My streams always did this when playing overwatch. Tried 100 different things and could never fix it, adjusted settings in game and on stream, nothing worked. Never happened for any other game :(

  • SagirKhan_ Sagir (@SagirKhan_) reported

    @SkillUpYT Why take care of the problem when you can change the name of another Overwatch character. Slap that bandaid over that gaping wound and call it a fix.

  • ElAcordeonachi El Acordeonachi (@ElAcordeonachi) reported

    Since they delayed Overwatch 2 to til 2023, that won't be a problem, unless they keep him for that long. Though a paid Destiny 2 update might throw a money wrench in. I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Right now, it's obvious Kotek needs to get the boot.

  • SkylarGem Skylar Gem (@SkylarGem) reported

    @MidasGoldenWife From what I heard the employee who is named after Mcree is the one who had the harassment issue. Basically caused the harassments. So the team decided to change the overwatch hero’s name because of this.

  • SagirKhan_ Sagir (@SagirKhan_) reported

    @RickKackis It's clearly the name of an Overwatch character. Change the name, slap that bandaid over that fatal wound and call it a problem solved!

  • Tiernan075 T (@Tiernan075) reported

    @JoshBorak @Dekkysaurus There were a few things around that time, i think the 'Ellie' esports issue as well for overwatch.

  • channystreams channy (@channystreams) reported

    @Unyshek Thanks for this. Another thing I’ve noticed is that mouse input feels a tad wonky. It’s potentially due to input lag from borderless window. As a tenured mnk player, overwatch has the gold standard for mouse input and I’d love for this game to feel similarly.

  • chvrchesy ✯ Cas ✯ (@chvrchesy) reported

    I might be the only person who doesn’t crash pressing P on Overwatch

  • menatros menatros (@menatros) reported

    @dogspinster @Stylosa Speaking about being bad at jobs maybe fix overwatch because the game crashes when you open friend invitations.. Like really???

  • asian360_yt T3x_YT (@asian360_yt) reported

    @AceOFSpadesOW Ofc! I gotta appreciate the stream you do for all of us! I wanna make sure the Overwatch community gets that support it needs to go through this painful game with so many problems lol. Making content out of thin air

  • MelodyBurst Melody Burst (@MelodyBurst) reported

    Sell me Activision Blizzard I will not treat anyone bad and I have bold new visions for their franchises (throwing Diablo, Starcraft, COD, and Overwatch in a trash can and just making another Crash Bandicoot)

  • onemariobro Onemariobro (@onemariobro) reported

    @MatttGFX I’ve legitimately stopped buying Overwatch merch and even stopped supporting YouTubers who still play Blizzard games and dear god can this run away train please crash it’s getting worser and worser
