Bersama Poyo (@BunDanBaba) reported@ryanscottborman @heatloss1986 @AlexLuck9 Problem with the drone AWACS is that lack of crew, and why we need to risk losing lives. I remember when Global Hawk Block 40 showed up in Afghan. They told everyone they could provide NRT overwatch to convoys/SOF. We at JSTARS were pissed because that was a lie.

vene₶iaπ ~。☆꒰ 🐑🍷 (@liespiach) reporteda lot of fans of certain heroes have it a lot better than they'd make it out to be and I think it has something to do with how the overwatch fandom as a whole has a victim complex issue.
-
AlbinoNemo (@nemothe2nd) reported@InsoNoSleep widow was never a problem in overwatch for like 90% of the playerbase lmao
-
Hooni 🇵🇸 (@SmolHooni) reportedGame is not optimized to this day and they barely work on fixing the balance issues. The only players were ex overwatch players who were playing it because they were mad with overwatch but now they're realizing that it's a **** game and it was never going to actually rival OW
-
Grimm (@Grimmr_) reportedwow for once overwatch wasnt a complete fustercluck crazy, thanks to everyone who hung out today and @nexus__VT for the raid! gonna try to stream more potentially tomorrow who knows sent the party over to @MrSocomDude playing the new RTS Broken Arrow
-
Grok (@grok) reportedI couldn't find any info on whether Stefan Horrocks is bald, as his public profiles focus on his Overwatch gameplay, not his appearance. The question seems like a playful jab tied to a thread about homophobia in the Overwatch community, where Horrocks used a barber shop analogy. There's no evidence to confirm his baldness, so it's likely just banter. The thread highlights a real issue: homophobia is a problem in Overwatch, with players reporting frequent slurs and harassment. Blizzard's moderation efforts exist but are often seen as lacking, especially in-game. Better community standards could help.

noponpotential (@noponpotential) reported@tea_arttt The known issues list on the overwatch bug report forums
-
LuvULatte (@AshleyyValkyrie) reported@EXCELSlOR_ Sounds stupid, but Lucio from Overwatch or Doomfist, there was a rumors way back about OW coming to smash, but after like some Hong Kong issue it soured the water
-
anyka✨ (@_celestialss) reported@KurtJP35 I can a guarantee they saw the success of Overwatch since this happened in 2017 and pivoted because of that. They truly are scared of doing their own thing and would rather chase trends in service of making more money
-
Nicholas 🇬🇷 (@nicvis986) reportedAbout to go to target to spend $60 that I don’t have on an Xbox controller to see if the issue with my overwatch game is fixed by getting a new one.
-
9 9 9 (@TheFoundingDrlp) reported@_wave00 Nah i think this game has fundamental game design issues, overwatch been catering to casuals for ages and TF2 aint even balanced at all and they got consistent player counts lol
-
🌻Benji🌻 (@wholelotta_bs) reported@XboxSupport I’ve tried to dm and reach out for support multiple times and it doesn’t seem to work. I’ve been continually disconnected from Marvel rivals for no apparent reason. I also cannot login into Overwatch 2. Again for no apparent reasons. Is there anything that can be done fix this?
-
Creepy Crawler (@ThCreepyCrawler) reported@fuckhankandtony The main problems with that would be similar to the reason Lifeweaver is hated in overwatch Would there be a confirmation every time he carries you back? If not would that result in a lot of throwing? Stuff like that. Very interesting tho
-
codzienne zdjęcie penisa🇵🇲🇵🇳🇺🇬 (@belmondo420) reported@CounterStrike 1 of 10 players cheats in your game that means 1 cheater per game. GAME IS UNPLAYABLE. How to fix: 1. Bring back overwatch 2. Hire 30 people on minimum wage to be admins in games and overwatch people. 3. New anti cheat very intrusive we want just clean gameplay. 4. HWID Bans
-
Uninvited (@CultOfRoyal) reported@EFlexMusic @Pirat_Nation Nah. Overwatch has a lot of porn but its not like everyones playing it. The Fan service may have gotten it a lot of attention, but its everything else that has kept it in the spotlight
-
Jar Boy (@JarBoy15) reported@DrValince @DelusionPosting @Asmongold Even successful games get dumped cus of wokeness. Look at overwatch. Instead of fixing issues and making the game better they kept trying to deflect outrage and complaints by outing another character as gay
-
Aso (@AsoMartise) reportedOverwatch need to stop giving me 200 ping when im the only ***** up in my house. i get better ping when all the tvs is on this **** is stupid @PlayOverwatch @jeffkaplan Fix my **** **** *****
-
isa (@cealestica) reported@murofrl eh i doubt it but my friend literally got banned for playing like ur average player so at this point i dont even know, overwatch need to fix their ban system
-
Makex (@MakexOW) reported@Coach_Spilo why are you trying to defend him while acknowledging that he has bigoted views? seems like there is a big issue with overwatch content creators/pro players ignoring that people like awkward, dafran and now gamin4hope are extremely hateful people, especially towards minorities.
-
kat :3 (@HugeTiddyGothGf) reportedI’m going to crash out from the queue times on overwatch. This isn’t the first time I’m complaining about it. Istg if the game doesn’t rise from the dead and get some people into my games I will go insane.
-
TheWalker (@TheWalker_07) reported@KitanaXMomiji Right, me not wanting to wait 10 minutes just to play a role and never get to switch off it makes me the problem Just go play overwatch if you want one so bad and so trying to make rivals overwatch
-
Flib (@m6cayy) reported@mekamercy i like it a lot, i think the main issue people see with it is the makeup or something, i dunno overwatch twitter is miserable
-

-
vani 🦴 (@kttymrdr) reported@taro0o0o0o0o0o @Irumaame im saying stop giving your opinions about every little thing overwatch releases? is that a ******* crime? i genuinely cannot stomach arguing w people who cannot grasp the concept that not everyone is itching for problems to the point where asking for less problems is an issue jfc

Gunter (@Gunter_Gman) reportedHow greatness is inevitable: video games. Why? I became top % in many games: 0.5% of 20 million active players in Valorant 15% in league 10% Rainbow 6 siege 10% in Halo infinite 35% on Overwatch in 6 hours. 25% on Fortnite in 12 hours. Another time I won roughly 20-25 games in a row on Valorant via pure **********. I WENT FROM GOLD 2 TO A3 IN 2 WEEKS WHILST LAGGING 100-1000Ms PEAKS. I know how to be great. I know how to conquer. I take what’s mine ruthlessly.

☣Scrapzy☣ (@Scrapzyest) reported@reddhado Wait for really I've been swapping so many drivers to fix stutters in overwatch
-
images (@darknite0) reportedBe careful playing comp on Overwatch as Rialto is bugged and will crash your game. Please fix or remove the map. It's just comp rules that crashes the game @PlayOverwatch
-
talie (@rasbprrry) reportedwhy does overwatch constantly have the “the server closed due to an unexpected error” bug. FIX YOUR GAME PLEASE
-
Kevin Nogilny (@CookiesAndPilk) reported@CalamariSteven @JoshLavis @Splitgate Overwatch cosmetics carried over to Overwatch 2. It's not unreasonable to think a free to play live service game's entire means of keeping players financially invested in the game should have some carryover when the developer migrates over to a new free to play live service...
