    My team finally in control of the opponents payload on Overwatch. Me: Don't push to far as I can't heal you all & the other team will just wall around you get the payload with no issues. My team: push too far, get flanked leaving me alone trying keep control against 6 👍🏻

    @PlayOverwatch I hope you guys fix your ****** algorithms for matchmaking. 4 games in a row, last 10 seconds of the match and you get "Defeat". Is OverWatch 2 worth buying? No... its probably just a repeat of your fail math.

  • glazz_le LeGlazz (@glazz_le) reported

    I’m completely scraping my newest video, I spent so long editing it just for it to crash because I moved ******* overwatch footage, and tbh I didn’t really enjoy the video either.

  • novaskrim Novaskrim (@novaskrim) reported

    Managed to fix my PC however fortnite refuses to run, So Overwatch addiction is back GG's only

  • Scarl3tDr3ams Scarlet 🔞 Writing is hard: save me! (@Scarl3tDr3ams) reported

    I don't come from a violent household. But when I hear a loud noise in the house (door shutting violently, ...) or my boyfriend starts yelling at his computer (Overwatch xD), no matter what I'm doing, I get really stressed out. Like I'm gonna get in trouble... it's exhausting.

  • untzzer Untzzer (@untzzer) reported

    @juanledesma_1 @YourOverwatchYT Damn do you also cry yourself to sleep when you’re not justifying blizzards terrible handling of overwatch since it’s release by saying “but hey if you buy the game again it’ll be the same crappy game but with a repetitive mundane PVE mode that’s gonna fix everything”?

  • SarahsaurusRex5 Meme Dream (@SarahsaurusRex5) reported

    Any time I play Mystery Heroes I either never die or I die .2 seconds after I leave the spawn room, EVERY TIME I leave the spawn room. Anyone else have this issue? #overwatch

  • PaulWil75460547 Dapper Raptor (@PaulWil75460547) reported

    @FunnyBlueDude @HuitzilinF_Art I mean is that a bad thing? If its not broken don't fix it and all that. Just throw some nicer shaders and a redesign here and there, overwatch already looked great

  • Chrome_Tiger Lost In The Belt (@Chrome_Tiger) reported

    Hey @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch, you think you might want to do something about the surf problem in Overwatch? It is really messing up game balance. I am trying to get new players in and they get frustrated and quit because of the MASSIVE smurf problem.

  • JoyINeedUBad adar (@JoyINeedUBad) reported

    overwatch has broken me for the night

  • gumiichus gumi | catmaid era (@gumiichus) reported

    lynn said they won’t be my feeding tank bf in overwatch. heart broken. anyone want to be my feeding tank bf in overwatch

  • ZenoKagemaru Snake Queen Zeno (@ZenoKagemaru) reported

    @Menopizzataker @OWAnonymous_ Except using a mouse and keyboard on console is cheating anyway, what with it being third party software and all. Massive issue as is for Overwatch, so why make the problem even worse?

  • therealfries_ bar (@therealfries_) reported

    I hope that the devs of Overwatch know that without a release date for #OW2 and without any new content for #OW coming out, it's gonna be hard to keep people coming back. The game is already declining in views, people just don't care to come back to the game and it sucks. Fix it.

  • PatryckSk PATRYCK sK (@PatryckSk) reported

    @AzathothsFlute @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS Well **** “Terrible customer service” ***Overwatch just finished downloading***

  • meeklmore Meeklmore (@meeklmore) reported

    Please fix the smurfing problem on console Overwatch, it’s been almost 5 years, it’s not fair and makes it impossible to climb

  • godflict ex-dva one-trick (@godflict) reported

    @Jet_Taking @Just_Wes05 @PlayOverwatch Who tf said they wanted total mayhem. Broski, just play custom games. If your problem with overwatch is that total mayhem hasnt been in the arcade, then you gotta reevaluate your problem with overwatch. Lmao i cannot

  • slothboy0805 Slothboy0805 (@slothboy0805) reported

    Okay so im sitting here playing overwatch. When this little ****** Bastion gets pucketed like heck. I belive he needs to be put out of mm cuz hes fcking broken

  • DemonHunterRick Ricky G (@DemonHunterRick) reported

    @exciana The eye camera is a decent idea... the problem is you'd have to carry a giant mirror wherever you go since you can't see yourself and wouldn't be able to take selfies You need a small sentient flying robot friend (like Mei from Overwatch has) that takes photos whenever you want

  • Lauthai_ Julia (@Lauthai_) reported

    Having some issues with the DBD servers, so going to switch over to Overwatch instead!

  • FoxHovel FoxHovel (@FoxHovel) reported

    Idk who needs to hear this, but... Overwatch aint a dating service

  • d_4iya タル蛍🧠 (@d_4iya) reported

    I saw my Overwatch Origins Edition box and remembered it was my ex who bought it for me Kinda miss fuwafuwa feelings over the smallest things but he just kept hiding his problems from me it just didnt feel right :(

  • AdnarimYdeth Eden (@AdnarimYdeth) reported

    @TheRedGambit @brutalace1 So far I haven't had any issues, the only thing that happened was that all mods were disabled from PMM. Try checking for Windows updates that thing always messes up any program. Usually happens to me when playing Overwatch or MK11

  • KoreyTEK KorzTEK 🔥❄️ (@KoreyTEK) reported

  • UnSubject Subject: Your Submission Is Appreciated (@UnSubject) reported

    If there was one thing Overwatch did very poorly, it was the PvE content (apart from Junkenstein's Revenge) Add on top of that skill trees to level up in and #Overwatch2 seems destined for a massive set of issues Balancing skill trees for PvE and PvP? Doesn't happen

  • LunDiiVith f*lgr*m's silly rabbit 💚 bIm (@LunDiiVith) reported

    @BjornFell are you not tired of women in videogames not being equally as buff as the men? if a theoretical doomgal doesn't look like they stuck a helmet on Zarya overwatch you're not doing representation correctly. i like crash's design but she's missing a powerlifter's physique

  • snailantix SM 🐌💕🐝 (@snailantix) reported

    Played Overwatch for the first time in close to a year yesterday and I’m still crying ahh I really missed playing it but we still haven’t figured out the internet issue at my house

  • LaLunaaGameaa J🌛🪐✨ (@LaLunaaGameaa) reported

    There’s no need for how BROKEN Zarya is when she’s got high charge on Overwatch. NO NEED

  • meeklmore Meeklmore (@meeklmore) reported

    Please fix the ******* sourcing problem on console Overwatch holy ****

  • sianos_two sianos (@sianos_two) reported

    overwatch was extremely fun for me in the closed beta, which makes me think the dev team balancing to appease redditors that will yell at you over voice comms for not playing their boring meta strategies of standing behind rectangles all game is the *true* main issue

  • TommyThaJobber TommyThaJobber (@TommyThaJobber) reported

    While I will continue to stream Overwatch on occasion, Monday Night Overwatch will no longer be a regular part of my schedule. It just feels like forcing it and kind of takes the fun away from it 🤔 First world problems right there
