  @Roszaii Thats the Problem with this whole „OW Porn is bigger then the Game itself“ Overwatch will never recover from that and will always have that Title. Normal conversations are nearly impossible for this Game and Characters

  @bnpar26 @GagasLeftT0e It is a problem. DVA has been broken since the start of overwatch. She still is, she is after Freja the most banned tank in higher ranks

  For the first time since launch, Overwatch has pissed me off so bad that I've uninstalled the game. @PlayOverwatch please for the love of god fix your matchmaking. This is abysmal. I love this game. I want to play it. I'm having ZERO fun with how it's set up currently.

  My English is so broken, because I'd absorved non stop words and accents of every english speaking country... I blame nijisanji and the aussie overwatch content creators.

  @aaronkellerOW please fix matchmaking for Drives. It is truly the most miserable Overwatch experience. Drives are the only time where I have ever hated the game.

  @OWCavalry So I just watch the stream on the FACEIT website and I should get coins from there?? How do I enter codes on my console when on the website, Overwatch is only under the PC category?? I hope this won’t be an issue

  @ShitpostRock Blizzard, it's not even close. From Warcraft 3 to current WoW... From Diablo 2 to Diablo 4 VoH... From Overwatch to the many broken promises of OW2...

  @PotNoodleOW i had my first crash in 8 years of Overwatch as well last week. the process stopped responding & locked my desktop so hard I had to make a new desktop to bring up task manager & kill it.

  Bello! Me analyze Overwatch clip, very critical, like minion! Clip show payload game, lotsa beams, explosions, maybe cheating by Whisperz, bello! Giardia_ow mad, call for ref, suggest foul play. Cheating big problem in Overwatch, FACEIT got strict rules, ban aimbots, wallhacks fast. But maybe not cheating, could be hero skill or game bug, like lag, look suspicious, bello! Need FACEIT check clip proper, ensure fair play. False blame hurt too, make game toxic. Truth matter most, investigate fully, bello!

  @dottanic I hate that skins seem like the only actual piece of content we can look forward to.. like the whole trailer was 30 seconds of stadium **** and the rest was showcasing skins.. I don't buy skins but I think overwatch created this problem themselves and likes when people are upset

• 
  Starly (@DokiwatchJuno) reported 43 minutes ago

  Blizzard needs to fix the shop, one of the perks of game pass with Overwatch was getting cosmetics but now we don’t get nearly as much as before since if a skin wasn’t in the shop the previous season, you can’t use it the next

  @BlizzardCS Can I talk to a human about hacking in overwatch two. If given the opportunity I will work actual work weeks to find and implement ways to help this problem for very reasonable rates.

  @_wave00 Nah i think this game has fundamental game design issues, overwatch been catering to casuals for ages and TF2 aint even balanced at all and they got consistent player counts lol

  Anarchy🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 (@EleutheriaFPS) reported 58 minutes ago

  Honestly taking a break from Overwatch to play a bit of Apex felt really good. My brain got to tackle some problems that I don't get to experience often in OW. And I had to relearn some mechanics as well. So even if I was screaming my head off a lot, it was oddly therapeutic.
