-- November last year and since then I've seen no cinematics. No updates. And the only update we've had this year is a map and Echo. It feels like a live service game without the live service aspect. I still love Overwatch but it feels like the devs aren't doing anything--

We don't need a Civil War to solve the problems. We need the laws on the books to be PROPERLY ENFORCED at all times by some functioning form of OVERWATCH. SEND IN THE MARINES AND ARREST THE TRAITORS.

@Blizzard_Ent My son has been given a ban on overwatch (Alpha stu2246) for leaving too many games.we have been having issues with our electricity going out due to living in a rural area. He is now upset and crying for something that isn't his fault. Is it ok to have ban lifted

@discord I'll post this again since nobody replied. When closing Overwatch while still streaming, my entire computer halts. It does not matter what I am streaming on my machine, it still crashes when closing Overwatch specifically. Any ideas how to fix this?

@CashMoneyKeegan I can’t even process overwatch graphics on my pc anymore without taking a trip to lag city. I was hoping to play this game on release but I may just have to wait until I get a new pc in hand. Let me know if it’s reasonably playable on the Xbox one

...I'm not looking at spending in the $1k+ range, but know I cannot go cheap either. I mostly want to be able to play Among Us/CoD/Overwatch/maybe some FIFA, and be able to use discord & stream (or even just record) all at once without issues. Any/all suggestions welcome. (2/2)

Overwatch is going to be so broken when # 2 comes out I can almost feel the chaotic energy of adding multiple heroes at once

@CristoferSoja The concept of the game is so good, Paladins can be a lot better than Overwatch, but there are too many problems. The team that works on it can’t manage a game, that is constantly broken and unbalanced, and they even have the bravery to say that the game is doing well, I mean...

Just noticed that apex has the same hero class issue that overwatch look like if you really want to play support or healer classes you should just play MMORPG and forget about popular games AKA shooters, therefore the ones that everyone is playing.

@Gothalion Whenever I play another FPS it reminds me of how terrible destiny’s networking/error codes are. Can they not work on their own servers. I go to cod or overwatch and I have amazing flawless experiences. But destiny has terrible network problems.

Thinking about the size of the player base that overwatch still has even though it’s an objectively broken poorly balanced game and imagining if the balance team knew what they were doing. That **** would be the biggest game that there is fr fr

Honestly, Samito and Chipsa are the biggest hypocrites in the Overwatch community. You don’t get to main one of the most broken heroes in Overwatch and turn around to complain about Moira, Brig, and Widow (who are also dogshit and broken and need reworked too don’t get me wrong).

@PlayOverwatch @Niandra_ Overwatch community I need your help! I keep getting an error sign in message and I can't play. I've tried everything; unplugging my xbox, unplugging my wifi, disconnecting from the wifi, uninstalling the game, deleting my profile from my Xbox. Nothing is working, please help!

@ElemixZero @NicouNetwork @d4ggerfish I think the issue is mainly that it's not regulated in the same way as gambling. Least when I watched videos on the topic that's been a core issue and why loot boxes in overwatch had a lawsuit and more are still ongoing in terms of loot boxes. Which are gatchas.

@PlayOverwatch Overwatch you need to fix your rank system in the last two days I have got mvp 3 times and each of those games I have spent 65% or more on fire. Then I preceded to lose 2/3 and my rank would drop 25-30 points but when I won it only went up 20-25 don’t punish me

I'm finding myself more and more #overwatch games due to more awful teammates and zero provisions for actually remedying the problem long-term. :|
