  • R1Sour SourR1 (@R1Sour) reported

    @KarQGames There's a bug that happened quite a while ago. It said a game called overwatch 2 was being made. Obviously this was just a technical glitch/bug on blizzards behalf

  • Mentos49079252 Mentos (@Mentos49079252) reported

    @Dan4Neo Its amazing how depsite tf2 problems it's still a fun game and the community still is going strong even if updates are slow as molasses. Overwatch could have been good.

  • sincaliber Sincaliber -, ⚖ ⚔ 🏰 (@sincaliber) reported

    @kelly_rdc It was free, safe and we could be kids without Overwatch, manipulation or the world's problems effecting our lives.

  • kwngnya ri⋆ˊˎ (@kwngnya) reported

    kpop on my broken *** laptop. Watching aphmau on my ipad. Drawing my little ocs. Playing omori. Playing overwatch.

  • Chris247590 Christopher (@Chris247590) reported

    Hi I received a ban on competitive overwatch and I want to know why I was ban season 31 I lost connections with the game I do not like how overwatch give band for internet disconnect Thanks

  • DergJo Joro Derg 💗💛💙 (@DergJo) reported

    you know im having trouble thinking of a multiplayer game that has more contempt for its playerbase as a whole than overwatch

  • Arrowmain1 Michael Szczesniak (@Arrowmain1) reported

    @ZeddyHS Between the crazy blizzard stuff and broken quests just being out of control I stopped having fun so I stopped playing the game, I tried mercenaries for hot min but just not in the mood for it. I’m out. I use to play all blizzard games, wow, HotS, overwatch, Diablo - now nothing

  • CWTWheelyReborn Chris Tomson #BLM #TransRights ♿️🏳️‍🌈🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ (@CWTWheelyReborn) reported

    Although, I do wonder if the backlash would be this persistent if the only major franchises Acti Blizz has were treated with apathy by the public (CoD, Overwatch) or the company(Crash, Spyro). No, wait, Ubisoft are abusive arseholes as well, but that got buried almost instantly

  • L2WithNoIq Jonathan (@L2WithNoIq) reported

    Just found out it's not even my internet making me lag it's Vanguard itself lol, idk how that stuff works but I'm running 60 ping (my normal ping) in Overwatch and Sige, but as soon as I get on Vanguard I get 100+, I seriously have no idea how that works but it pisses me off

  • marnus_c Marnus (@marnus_c) reported

    @seizedwf @CSGO Overwatch is broken too

  • Tymunster Tymunster (@Tymunster) reported

    @nonsenseOW @Reiner_OW Mercy is overturned, sure. Slightly. Damage amplification is insanely overtuned in Overwatch. But mercy is currently being exploited in ranked... because it's ranked. Letting 1 braindead player freely buff a smurf/carry is going to feel frustrating. Overtuned? Yes. But broken? No

  • TheBiggestHog 𝕽𝖔𝖆𝖉 𝕳𝖔𝖌 (@TheBiggestHog) reported

    @LocalMedicalGF Brats? Overwatch was filled with them until one after another he got his bil ol' hands on them. Her? Some curvy citizen medic? She'll be broken into a sow in little to no time.

  • MadWolfDead Leallo (@MadWolfDead) reported

    !REMINDER! Don't support Activision Blizzard or Riot games! Their work environments are disgusting and each have their slew of problems! Don't support Project L, or the LoL TV show, Overwatch 2, Call of Duty, anything from them.

  • MTRZGaming MTRZGaming (@MTRZGaming) reported

    @CrispyFrise I mean, taking 2 of the 3 developers of Crash & Spyro and putting them with Treyarch and Blizzard respectively to focus on COD & Overwatch sends a mixed message. Ubisoft saw Rayman as a flagship even after Rayman Origins & Legends, and now you have to beg Ubisoft to mention him.

  • BrainWatchin brain (@BrainWatchin) reported

    @BlizzardCS Fix overwatch asian servers disconnection issue.

  • tempestchasing Kelton Halbert (@tempestchasing) reported

    @OrcusVaruna Overwatch had the exact same matchmaking issue. In fraction, pretty much every shooter I’ve played approaches matchmaking this way and I don’t get why. It’s the worst player-side experience for everyone involved.

  • Mattsa_64 Dylan (feeling like a Toon gorilla) 🌻 (@Mattsa_64) reported

    @pelican_food @TheNCSmaster they cancelled the overwatch presentation till 2021 they were like "hey look 3 crash games for 79.99!" And remember Activision will use other ips to distract you from the scandals (works as people claim crash has nothing to do with blizzard despite both being owned by Activision)

  • doug_gunther DougGunther a Bastion and Mii Gunner main. (@doug_gunther) reported

    @spookyhours40 I don’t think Overwatch is making them money a lot of money. Its due to the content drought and the problems at Activision Blizzard.

  • tylercolp Tyler (@tylercolp) reported

    all of overwatch's problems could be solved with deadly boss mods

  • iuzu6 i.uzu (@iuzu6) reported

    @ZvG_YT Problem is inherently the win to lose rp ratio, really not different from any competitive games like overwatch or lol or fighterz. The problem is the game has 50/50, rng mechanics that need to be addressed

  • Chris247590 Christopher (@Chris247590) reported

    @NotJeffKaplans Hi I received a ban on competitive overwatch and I want to know why I was ban season 31 I lost connections with the game I do not like how overwatch give band for internet disconnect Thanks

  • BuyTJandEarl Buy ToeJam and Earl 兔 (@BuyTJandEarl) reported

    @AboutNintendo Just burn down the company, the biggest loss will be crash I doubt many people will care that the declining COD games and overwatch 2 would be no more

  • BuckLudwig 🎩Buck @ Back in Blood 2 (@BuckLudwig) reported

    in spite of blizzard and overwatch's problems I am sad to see a lack of chamber + widowmaker crossover memes making fun of the french

  • aidanjayoreilly Jay (@aidanjayoreilly) reported

    Overwatch pro scene right now makes me so sad. OWL sounds great next year, but it being played on OW2 is causing so many issues, surely at this point just having another season on OW1 would just fix so much. Most top players in T2 are leaving bc they dont know what they can do :(

  • NotTxcker Turkey Draco (@NotTxcker) reported

    @MrSulla_ I’m really only playing RuneScape and overwatch anyways with stock **** on the side so I didn’t really think hard drive is an issue

  • CalebGamerOW Proto VI (@CalebGamerOW) reported

    @AxH2198 @alantmh @PlayOverwatch Like one of the reasons why it took them so long to add Cross-Play to Overwatch is mainly due to Sony which other games had this similar issue which is completely out of their control so if you want to blame someone for this I suggest you point it at Sony and not the developers.

  • Seur101 Seur (@Seur101) reported

    Brigitte was not only the most broken character in Overwatch history on release, I’d say she was pretty close to being one of the most broken characters in gaming history.

  • monjijij Monjijij (@monjijij) reported

    @BlizzardCS happened again, first time queuing then bam got banned for the season been a problem LAST season too, like please never any other game JUSTTTT OVERWATCH feels illegal to play overwatch now man

  • DiddlyPizzapie Diddly Dee (@DiddlyPizzapie) reported

    @TheNCSmaster I don't think turning any overwatch characters gay/trans is gonna fix this one

  • SkylarGem Skylar Gem (@SkylarGem) reported

    @MidaliaGold @MidasGoldenNuts @fortnitefacts62 He’s innocent! Jessica confirmed! I wish I was Sombra from Overwatch to find the ACTUAL OWNER and be civil to talk with him/her. If he/she has a problem with Jessica, I can clear a lot of things.
