  • sssssvard unhinged, as usual. (@sssssvard) reported

    can #overwatch #overwatchdps #dpsmain players explain to me why when a pharah is harassing a team the damage players refuse to go a counter for her? what is it? is it ego? i hate dps players honest to god because you will WATCH a problem fester and do nothing.

  • SuFiTav The ***** Prince of House Yehuda (@SuFiTav) reported

    COD vanguard is unplayable trash. Overwatch console playerbase is gone. Gaming is set to crash. Itll still make money but techies will know itll be nothing new or innovative.

  • Parasol0fDreams Kiki Nene 🍓 VCHUUBA (@Parasol0fDreams) reported

    CS GO ****** up my sensitivity with Overwatch its so hard to fix it now brain being stupid

  • ItzSteveSpenc Steve (@ItzSteveSpenc) reported

    @BearPigCentral At this point im just playing Overwatch until they can fix the crashing. The issues have cost me games in both Warzone and MW SnD, especially in clutch situations. 😔

  • KenimonToast Kenimontoast (@KenimonToast) reported

    @BlizzardCS On Xbox one. Having issues with frame drops and inconsistent latency when playing overwatch, even in practice range. Any help or insight is appreciated. I’ve tried restarting the game, my router, uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing seems to work.

  • Zaetux . (@Zaetux) reported

    my overwatch stream quality is nice it looks good but my apex stream quality looks **** does anyone kno how to fix that?

  • TH3_MATSUS ☆The Matsumuras (@TH3_MATSUS) reported

    @LOVEAXlS No problem! Now how about a game of Overwatch?👀 —Q

  • appleciderwitch extremely professional (@appleciderwitch) reported

    men in the overwatch community woke up yesterday and decided they know how to vaguely "solve" systemic issues with capitalism when literally everyone will bend over backwards to justify why you're allowed to yell at Mercy players unprompted

  • RazosTwitch r (@RazosTwitch) reported

    @ra_obh the thing is that aim assist isn’t even a problem in overwatch tbh, i’d happily let them have it so i can get faster queue times. in apex it’s a broken pile of **** that’s way too easy to abuse and needs to be completely reworked + fix console kids turning into tracer in apex

  • Cheeky00804516 CheekyHellaIffy (@Cheeky00804516) reported

    @xxTaise @leahcrete So Revanant wasn’t broken? And how they copy pasted overwatch ranked system and loss more than half the player base that was the move? Ratio L kek w

  • leather_loop 𝕽𝖔𝖛𝖊 (@leather_loop) reported

    The Mei then started hard trolling, pointing out every teammate's error and walling off our own tanks. Imagine exercising your misogyny on Overwatch on Christmas eve. Sad little boys.

  • CosmicLuna69 Cosmic (@CosmicLuna69) reported

    @soyventilatte @GenshinImpact Yes I am aware of the implications it has with gameplay and how skin changes on models can cause problems and glitches. I say this based on a comparison to a company like blizzard and a game like overwatch that pumps out skins 3-4 months.

  • Nyxbaela Nyx (@Nyxbaela) reported

    My overwatch games have been lagging since last night, every other game works fine 😭

  • Yolodeller Balto (@Yolodeller) reported

    and overwatch was my target. Needless to say overwatch went downhill and i just lost interest over it. The very same issue I have it with wow and wc3. Those two ******* games shaped my tastes in videogames and basically everything else related

  • TheRealCalco Calcobeater (Professional NASB Player) (@TheRealCalco) reported

    Gosh darn it @NintendoAmerica why are the servers down? All i wanna do is see the deals and maybe buy Overwatch anyways

  • mars_mood mars (@mars_mood) reported

    @WarnTV why would comparing something that’s based on comparison be weird LMAO. U specified overwatch when quiet literally every game has this problem

  • FloFluoro Flo P. (@FloFluoro) reported

    [Picture of kid doge with propeller hat and comically large lollipop next to copies of Overwatch, Crash and Spyro, the year "2018" emblazoned on his shirt] Activision sure has turned themselves around, I can't wait to see what they do in the next couple years!

  • lickoriced lickorice 👺🌨| geo enthusiast (@lickoriced) reported

    @Sp1ritB0x oh look, my overwatch experience Jokes aside tho either a new account, or their playstyle/setup needs big adjustments I'm sitting at bronze on dps because of terrible framerate and lag, my laptop is old as **** so it could be that for them Otherwise they might wna take more shots

  • Occult_Owlet ❄️ 『— 𝐎𝑐𝑡𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑎 𝐆𝑜𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑎 』❄️ (@Occult_Owlet) reported

    That I like right now can be counted on my fingers. 1. [Pc only] Team fortress 2 (PC is broken.) 2. [Pc only] ***** Bomb (PC is broken. Development officially, completely dead.) 3. overwatch (practically dead development.) 4. Dead by daylight 5. Halo (in general) 6. Warframe

  • GumiWormTweets ☁️Gumi☁️ (@GumiWormTweets) reported

    My switch has decided to have some technical issues with connecting to wifi and I don't know why. I planned to do some nookazon stuff today but now.. can't practice in overwatch or Mario Kart either. Minecraft might be the only functioning game right now Not sure what to do :/.

  • katnap__1 katnap 🏳️‍🌈 (@katnap__1) reported

    overwatch gives me anger issues

  • Helios_8888 ☀️helios (@Helios_8888) reported

    Blizzard when I don’t want to play Overwatch: First update in 3 months Blizzard when I want to play Overwatch: ddos, constantly dc’ing, frame lag etc

  • axerythe axerythe #boottheboard (@axerythe) reported

    @iiTzSwizzY @PlayOverwatch it's very polished, only problem is lack of content updates, but overwatch 2 will alleviate that problem very soon. if you're looking for something new, i'd definitely recommend it, i wouldn't play ranked mode if you do in paladins though, ow ranked is really rough right now

  • Alexaction223 Al (@Alexaction223) reported

    @optimum Day 15, no sign of it getting any better. Also you are solely to blame for all the online matches of overwatch I played tonight, save for one where a bathroom break took too long on my part. My disgust that this can count as a service in this universe is immeasurable.

  • Yosh200412 EmperorHoopa (@Yosh200412) reported

    @Crosimmer Plus you have things like Overwatch and Error Trap for bugs but the Sims 4 is just 😔
