    @Alpharad @gsmVoiD Morty is the new Bastion from Overwatch. No matter how much they try and nerf him, he will still be incredibly broken.

  • Wynteolrambles Wynteol (@Wynteolrambles) reported

  • scienceninjagal Dr Meg Pusey (@scienceninjagal) reported

    @ChronoJoe @Steve_Bromley What about for online/in-service games? E.g. Destiny, Overwatch, League etc? Maybe not designing for you as an individual, but listening to the community as a whole?

  • breadbender123 john (@breadbender123) reported

  • Chewmonster92 James Alexander VA (@Chewmonster92) reported

    @pyroriffic I have an even bigger issue, I don’t remember how to play Overwatch. 😱( And I need to reinstall it)

  • the1fan1fan1 Maky_Bee🐙 (@the1fan1fan1) reported

    @A_Guster_Buster Hell I ditched overwatch because it felt like supports can’t have fun they can only support because god forbid a shielder shields “Skill issue” says the very intelligent dps main Yeah it is because I don’t want to sink my entire vacation learning a game that hates me

  • TCalpin1 TCalpin (@TCalpin1) reported

    @Unyshek Really enoying the Ranked doubles so far, but i think the EU West server has just died or having major issues, 3 games in a row on 35ms unstable packet loss and teamates saying they also having the same issues, fiance is playing overwatch fine so no issues my end.

  • solidunicorn6 Daddy Hercules (@solidunicorn6) reported

    Or we could get a good player info panel? I mean overwatch dropped 3 years prior and still has a good career profile page. Only problem is people on private, but that way we could have what characters, guns, and teammates characters all layer out plus we could

  • dark_riser_p Dark_riser_phenex (@dark_riser_p) reported

    @TieflingMelissa Than i have a problem i play in games like Overwatch support my self

  • TheDoomerPluto Ripperverse Will Win 🟡⚫️ (Pluto/Morpheus) (@TheDoomerPluto) reported

    The whole "esports ruined gaming" is such a lazy take Overwatch literally died because they didn't listen to pros for 2 years and had balance issues so bad it killed the game Stop

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN I cant login to overwatch 2 from my ps5. It have been 2 hours since i purched it and it keeps telling me “ login error, failed to connect to game server. Please try again later “

  • BlizzardCS Blizzard CS - The Americas (@BlizzardCS) reported

    @PinkEricka2 Are you trying to log into OW2 Alpha/Beta? That is not currently active. Standard Overwatch should be though. If that is the game you are attempting to log into, what errors are you getting? ~V

  • PinkEricka2 Ericka 🖤💋 (@PinkEricka2) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Anybody else getting overwatch 2 login errors? I paid $40 for a game that doesn’t even work. lmfao.

  • worldofmayja World of Mayja | SWAY (@worldofmayja) reported

    @streamschemes I streamed Overwatch, had no camera, and my sound was through my microphone. I had one viewer, my husband. I had no overlay. I was live for a couple hours. You couldn’t hear any game sound at first, and I spent a ton of time live troubleshooting issues lol!

  • UsagiCola Sleepy Space Witch 🛏💤🌌 (@UsagiCola) reported

    @birdlegscass It's a balancing act but I think "you beat the hardest difficulty: have a prize" is totally reasonable. I think its only a problem with like. Thinkinf back to me grinding out overwatch matches for event lootboxes because I had one day left to get the exclusive mccree skin.

  • ALE0_CA Aleo (@ALE0_CA) reported

    @xBlazxd @bstategames agreed however this list also has the same issue right now. Fortnite Overwatch CSGO Destiny2 CODModerWarfare2 Valorant Apex RainbowsixSiege Titan Fall 2 PUBG COD Coldwar also remember the fall guys craze... also had cheaters. we know its not just your fight @bstategames <3

  • FaucetSoap Easter (@FaucetSoap) reported

    @Seggstra2 @CuppaDeluxe @UBERSOY1 Here, and Overwatch became bad because the devs refused to fix their combat and server system, not because one character turned out to be gay

  • amcd011 andrew or andy or whatever ******** my name is (@amcd011) reported

    I want a character like mercy from overwatch in multiversus. Dogshit at most things but unholy mobility and healing/support. Only problem is I don’t know who that should be in terms of the exact character

  • garretttrp2 🇺🇦 (@garretttrp2) reported

    it reminds me of overwatch for gameplay (obviously not *just* that alone) and update cycles, but it wins not having content slowdowns, bad additions or problems otherwise that ow had - i haven't seen anywhere near as much complaining as i was expecting compared to things like it

  • haleylizs Haley Stuart Seefeld (@haleylizs) reported

    Hey @BlizzardCS, do you ever plan to fix the AI Mode bug in Overwatch? Whenever I queue up for Medium or Hard, then select any of the "While You Wait" modes, it automatically changes me to the Easy queue. I at least hope you plan to make sure it doesn't happen with OW2.

  • NotASeralKiller 「Nask」 (@NotASeralKiller) reported

    @TheRocketRalph Maybe he can fix Overwatch

  • avoblackfyre Ozz (@avoblackfyre) reported

    @GeekGamingDad @XcloudTimdog Thats my line of thought for franchises that already have a platform like COD warzone and overwatch 2, but any new IP live service game that's never been on PlayStation I believe will be exclusive plus regular one shot games and IP. Will see what happens

  • QrowPR Qrøw (@QrowPR) reported

    @Wumbo_____ Who up lagging on overwatch

  • OhChev Evan (@OhChev) reported

    @FrostyCards @MLBTheShow @SonySanDiego 1) it closes at the same time. loading screen. that would be an issue with the game/console relationship 2) i have played HUNDREDS of overwatch games on this xbox amongst other titles and it's never once happened

  • MenacingWinds Sanemi Shinazugawa (@MenacingWinds) reported

    @flutterflykanao //I understand your problems with League the for me xd. I will try it because @/POISONXDFLIGHT asked and she doesn't play Overwatch🤔

  • stardustaIien Star (@stardustaIien) reported

    Games I am looking forward to: Dreams PC release because game development sucks Titanfall, please for the love of god GTA VI because I have a problem and it can only be solved through violence and fancy cars Overwatch 2 so I can decide never to touch an activision game again

  • Wynteolrambles Wynteol (@Wynteolrambles) reported

    Now I don't know if it's Overwatch or twitch that is the problem but ... just the other day I was able to stream for 5 hours with no problem besides I was sleepy ...

  • GustyGamez MS_Gusty (@GustyGamez) reported

    @MilkTeaOrbit @T_R_Buccaneer The problem with balancing in a game like overwatch is that youd have to test every interaction in every scenario on every map and make sure new bugs didnt come in after the new hero and make sure the **** actually works which takes more than a month to do. It isnt easy
