@Zereldo I think the problem with RuneScape is that it's often very unintuitive. Say you're playing Overwatch or Guild Wars 2. It's very easy to understand what your 'regular' attack is vs. the attacks that deal more damage (even if you don't know the specific numbers). Whereas, ...

@cabreeezy_ @PlayOverwatch Hey there, someone in the community pointed out this tweet to me. I am one of the Overwatch forum community members who help others with tech issues. I don't think there are widespread issues going on as reports are relatively low on the forums. (1/2)

Any other console players having massive lag problems in #Overwatch? Practically unplayable on PS5 this weekend. Every other game playing fine so don’t think it’s my wifi

@Lispegistus The changes in XCOM2/mods/later SRPGs that fix the turn order, disincentivize going into overwatch every turn, etc. get rid of some of the more tedious parts of the gameplay.

How can you hope to have a good sell with Overwatch 2 when you refuse to fix the issues present in Overwatch 1...#Overwatch

@RaidAway I'll give it that, it was solid, very few bugs if any, the only problem I had with it was the overwatch hero style game play. Remove that one thing and it's a top 5 cod to me, up there with bo1, mw2, waw, bo2 and maybe even mw3

It’s funny how there hasn’t been any new characters in Overwatch, but yet after a year or so, the game I still completely balanced, so instead of balancing, they give us broken scatter arrow, shatter that can go through walls, and buff the cowboy AGAIN!

@LotharHS Banning characters in any competitive game is dumb as ****. Learn to play around them, or play Minecraft. If a character is really broken, the devs will fix them. Unless those devs work on Overwatch...

I'm losing more and more sanity, Reinhardt can just kill you through shields with his slam. It doesn't even line up with his ult hit box, nor his voiceline. Climbing the most broken competitive ladder is the Overwatch experience

@logishere @sharktoofs1 Oh yeah I forgot about overwatch, I agree they do a lot of cool **** Maybe my issue is that apex is kinda more realistic? Idk, I feel like with overwatch and fortnite skins are cooler cuz of the bright colors and smooth textures/models

@crack_bandicoot @Sh4dow_Sniper To an extent but its the worst in Valorant. It wasn’t even that bad in CS when I switched to Overwatch and am surprised a community is more toxic than OW’s. my main problem is all the young kids who know nothing about the game but talk sh!t. Was never this bad in CS’ prime days

@BlizzardCS Note that my displayed latency and interpolation are well within the normal bounds for the game to function. This lag spike occurs the moment I am loading into the game, as I can tell by the Overwatch background.

@octipuff For sure - I think Overwatch really made the problem worse too with their seasonal skins. Especially when they initially didn’t say if they would ever come back. Now they do, but I remember it took several events for them to say they’d offer skins during the next one.
