  Thanks to everyone who came and watched my April Fool's Overwatch stream with Sean! Apologies for the audio issues, we literally have NO IDEA what is causing it and the internet has no fixes, so hopefully we can get it solved in the future.

  @ArtStarcross A lot that platform fighters generally do not have. It's either moderate or even absurd movement tech like air dashing all the way up to replicating that one Genji super dash glitch in vanilla Overwatch.

  I was trying this out with Overwatch at 2am and although I'd disconnect because since the usb cable I was using isn't too stable due to it's length and fit I suppose (I'm using a different one now). There was higher latency than I'm used to but that's to be expected since

  @BlizzardCS Was just queuing up for a game of comp in overwatch with my 4 stack whenwe found a game but it came up with a red bar saying "error applying update" and then suspended my entire stack and removed ~60sr from each of us, what the hell man

  @BlizzardCS Hey Blizzard, why tf can’t I play Overwatch? Can’t apply update error every time. If this is an April Fools joke it isn’t funny, it’s just annoying.

  @nyxthenocturnal Overwatch has similar problems if you get into a team with mic, it can get really horrible, from slurs to pure chaos. A reason i mostly play single player games or play solo.

  @Roniboney My problem is no one ever wants to play the games I enjoy playing online, Overwatch, Apex, some L4D2. Or, they just aren't on the same schedule that I am (thanks work.) No one wants to play Overwatch at 3AM. So playing with friends is nearly impossible for me.

  Why is no one talking about how overwatch servers are broken? I am stuck on applying update screen, and before that in another game my duo was stuck on the same screen

  Arryn Diaz 💀🔥 (@DoctorPizzaMD) reported 46 minutes ago

  The only time I play Overwatch anymore is when they add an experimental mode that's deliberately trying to be as broken as possible, because I am a demon of chaos and "balance" is for nerds.

  Imagine wanting to play the overwatch April fools changes but blizzard said ERROR & APPLYING UPDATE plus the bonus UNKNOWN ERROR HF-5 @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS

  Instead of agreeing to the terms of service , people should take an IQ test before they play games. Overwatch would be so fun

  Bman (@Bman3443) reported 49 minutes ago

  @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS PlayStation overwatch is unplayable and cannot load into any game modes with out an error occurring. Any time till this is fixed? Was looking forward to playing experimental but can’t even play quick play either.

  @Icex69 @OG_Punchy @Outriders Like what? Overwatch couldn't even launch. Many many AAA games have plenty of issues. I'm just not a well known critic like you..

  @MollsisBored I see this **** happen in overwatch all the time. I usually find a creative way to tell the tell to **** off that skirts the rules so I don't get in trouble for it.. but yeah rarely does anyone else call out the *******.

  Searching for a competitive match on Overwatch on Switch. I get an error applying update, and the game throws me back to the start screen. Upon re-entering the game, I'm advised I'm suspended from competitive for 15 mins. Punished for your error, thanks Overwatch! 🤦

  @BlizzardCS @BlizzardCSEU_EN I've been having issues on PS4 with overwatch "applying an update" and then getting booted from the game, got a 2nd suspension and lost 100sr.

  @BlizzardCS Is this connected to Playstation Overwatch just not working today? Because if so, fix it now. It’s unplayable right now. I get bugged out of every game mode and just don’t load in at all. Experimental, Quick play, Custom games, you name it.

  @Zyante_ @iTzHaRoNa @OWAnonymous_ My whole point is that there is no representation of black women in overwatch so according to you, I should just stop playing the game. Also no that doesn't solve the problem, there still is a lack of diversity and representation there for black people so...??

  I say again, Baptise is literally ruining the fun of Overwatch! An ability that negates more than one ultimate is incredibly broken and stupid! Rework or nerf the hero! @PlayOverwatch

  @katventute I'm just saying, if they did get a character from that company, I think they'd go with Crash way before they went with an Overwatch character. Hell, even if they did go with specifically a Blizzard character, I think Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo have had biggest impacts.

  @BlizzardCS Hi, I’m having an issue when I que for the tank role in competitive overwatch. I have one placement left that I never did, and whenever I que, it keeps saying “applying update.* Then the screen goes red, and I get banned for an hour.
