  • Saurvivalist Saurvivalist 🦖 (@Saurvivalist) reported

    Gundam Evolution is what Overwatch used to be. Free cosmetics just for playing, 6v6, a broken Zara type character, the Bastionlike character hasn't been removed from the game yet, and a mode that half the playerbase hates. I love it.

  • rwilliams1310 ryan (@rwilliams1310) reported

    Smh @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent lag out then get in back on wifi less than a minute later. Now suspended for 1 hour, no option to reconnect or anything. So ducking done with overwatch

  • Soso1215gaming Shaunna (@Soso1215gaming) reported

    @ThePangil12 I tried lowering the resolution today and it didn’t do anything. Same issues with Overwatch (Not sure if it matters but i play on console and stream with a pc separately) I had a good bitrate of 4500 which was never an issue, then im assumine new wifi = adjustments needed lmao

  • seungminsnovia katy ☁️ (@seungminsnovia) reported

  • glippyTTV Glippy (@glippyTTV) reported

    ok i've never played in such an unrewarding ranked environment. overwatch 2 is broken

  • Danisaur_Arts Danisaur✨ (@Danisaur_Arts) reported

    Man I'm quitting overwatch and stick to games like Sky Children of Light and HOA, i can't with the anger issues anymore

  • 3LC4MIN0 Sasha (@3LC4MIN0) reported

    @movielore @jjguy_ no it's literally the bottom of the barrel. One of my biggest issues with fortnite is the gameplay and sweaty players has to do with it, I tried apex and it's exactly that. I prefer overwatch or even valorant

  • SlugGn0ki Sullivan (@SlugGn0ki) reported

    I'm suffering from literally the most first-world problem imaginable rn and it's that I can't decide what game to play because I have so many that I really want to play. Only really playing Overwatch because that is where my brain goes when it defaults and picks a game to play

  • Cardz_Gaming Cardz Gaming (@Cardz_Gaming) reported

    Scratch that. No overwatch stream tonight due to computer issues

  • nachjoss jos (@nachjoss) reported

    @BlizzardCS hello i watched the challengers cup finals for a total 9 hours and i never received my overwatch league tokens yet is there a problem ? Mind you i have received all my past tokens but not this time battle id yeji#21473

  • lockon01 Ricktermantis (@lockon01) reported

    Ramattra is so broken in overwatch 2. The second he activates his ult, the game becomes a point-and-click adventure for him.

  • Vyx_fps Scott Ishikawa (@Vyx_fps) reported

    @Kephrii while not being the biggest deal in overwatch i still think it’s a problem bc competitive integrity should always be the biggest priority

  • jacobabrams300 Jacob Abrams (@jacobabrams300) reported

    @Gale_Adelade Lol bruh every hero has a counter stop crying, u just mad cuz u have to adjust instead of comfortably win every game. If anything the matchmaking is ******* terrible and we can all agree on that, but if Sojourn is a problem for u then figure out a solution Mr. Overwatch 🥱😴

  • Bd0MZ_TTV Bd0MZ (@Bd0MZ_TTV) reported

    Is Overwatch having connection issues or something? So many leavers today...

  • MonadoBoii Monado (@MonadoBoii) reported

    i almost said overwatch 2 but that’s more of an attempt to monetize a dead game from 2016, and Pokémon SV is fun as **** despite being broken performance-wise

  • mladyofsorrows sarah (@mladyofsorrows) reported

    I ******* hate overwatch everyone wants to say every hero is broken and dog **** at the same time

  • ksysoIo kit #AIB2 (@ksysoIo) reported

    i want to talk about doom at your service but i cant bring myself to call doom “Doom” like it reminds me of doomfist from overwatch i hate myself for that

  • LoLoLovestoRave LoLo (@LoLoLovestoRave) reported

    They need to fix this Overwatch algorithm because why do I play 10 games and win only a single 1? Like wtf I have to do to win

  • Saurvivalist Saurvivalist 🦖 (@Saurvivalist) reported

    Gundam Evolution is what Overwatch used to be. Free cosmetics just for playing, 6v6, a broken Zarya type character, the Bastionlike character hasn't been removed from the game yet, and a mode that half the playerbase hates. I love it.

  • loreguitar3 Mario Presti (@loreguitar3) reported

  • 2xDie4 Portgas (@2xDie4) reported

    overwatch never changes, first game W as Moira, then turn it off. it’s like a hit of dopamine i will ALWAYS get cause she’s so broken with a good team.

  • BLUxCHEESE BLUxCHEESE (@BLUxCHEESE) reported

    @washjustice Original beta. Was one of the first in. Stopped playing for years which I regret now that we have this broken down version of overwatch

  • leekoii_ lee (@leekoii_) reported

    I’ve decided my first stream of 2023 will be watching overwatch match replays 🥰 I never get to show how I really play on stream bc of joycon errors :’D

  • Lumillie_ 𝘓𝘶𝘮𝘪 ☃️ (@Lumillie_) reported

    World of Warcraft & Overwatch are my only destinations / plans / events and what I’m up to if I’m not working till October and I’m not even sorry about it.

  • AmeliaRingtail That One Gal With too Many Characters (@AmeliaRingtail) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent When are you going to fix your matchmaking system in overwatch? i'm kinda tired of every match being a stomp in favor of one or the other.

  • Samanthnya Chika 🏳️‍⚧️ (@Samanthnya) reported

    @RaandomR6 @Benjjjyy Overwatch is a bad example, they’re balancing the game around the lower skill bracket. So heroes who are broken in higher ranks like Sojorn get buffed instead of nerfed.
