    I generally hope Overwatch 2 fails as a game. I used to a mega-degenerate, playing it everyday as Overwatch as it went downfall. Can’t go back to that life. Now the only problem is that there’s no ******* game to play. Everything else is boring to play.

  • YourLocalJimbo Jim (@YourLocalJimbo) reported

    @Benjjjyy Every game community is like this from what I've seen. Overwatch and Pokemon were MUCH worse in my experience. But yeah, the D2 community has ISSUES

  • TTV_ZaneDX 🍍ZaneDX | 🍪💜📚💡 (@TTV_ZaneDX) reported

    Stream finished! Went an hour and a half before it was pointed out to me that OBS wasn't picking up my music ooooof. Took me five minutes to fix afterwards, but still. Overwatch was fun! Thanks to everyone who showed up and hung out! I'll be back tomorrow with Bug Fables!

  • stefkeegan Stef Keegan (@stefkeegan) reported

  • Kirbyi3q Kirby (@Kirbyi3q) reported

    Honestly, I’m so bored, can’t sleep, my gf just broke up with me, and the only thing I think about doing is playing overwatch to distract. Honestly I think I have a problem.

  • Raccmen_ Racc (@Raccmen_) reported

    also this tweet was just an excuse to say i was playing overwatch for 5 hours i have problems

  • ScottyASharpe Scott A. Sharpe (@ScottyASharpe) reported

    @mikepompeo Let me help fix this for you: Before I entered public life I was a crook. I ran two companies that screwed over many of my fellow Kansans. I know firsthand that stealing payroll is hard enough for small businesses without the overwatch created by Washington.

  • ValyrianFPS ValyriaN (@ValyrianFPS) reported

    @Cringusxd Yeah see that's the big issue here. That's also kinda why i stuck with Overwatch because there is just nothing else fast paced. But then Overwatch was double shield Zzz fest for so long and it's just like.... **** man there is literally nothing anymore? I'm ready for a new Quake

  • Cherry_Kamui Mikey (@Cherry_Kamui) reported

    Overwatch smurfs on their 7th account try to get you by saying "lol gold border" my guy Overwatch has been out for over 5 year and I don't have commitment issues so I stick with one account you deflated ego havin bronze player

  • therealaubs98 Eco (@therealaubs98) reported

    i knew i had a problem when i finally set up my pc after moving and the first thing i opened was overwatch

  • RedLant12166889 Red Lantern (@RedLant12166889) reported

    @McTankBlaster @thicc_stick_boi You think it was only cod? I guess Tony Hawk, Crash, Spyro, overwatch and all those mmos don't matter? Those mediocre cod games were the best sellers on ps4 the whole generation so they must have mattered a ton. Gow, uc4, hzd weren't doing anything close to cod numbers

  • Flow3r76_OW Joseph Pena (@Flow3r76_OW) reported

    Overwatch 1 is a complete ******* joke dogshit name it all blizzard needs to ******* get their heads out their asses an fix their ******* trash *** game especially comp ******* tired of ******* losing games bc of ****** people and bc the game is dead

  • CreebusJeebus MPREGMAFIA 🖤 (@CreebusJeebus) reported

  • CherubicCherrim Cherubic Cherry 🍒 (@CherubicCherrim) reported

    Toxic-Chu is slowly making a comeback. The need for Overwatch fix is rising....

  • PirateMedia2 Pirate-Media (@PirateMedia2) reported

    @HisWattson This happens with every shooter competitive game. Overwatch has this issue for years. They balance the game for the top percent and the larger fan base has to deal with it. Same thing here. Honestly I don’t know why there isn’t separate metas for pros and general

  • iElixr Fierce (@iElixr) reported

    @omle_ms @s9mmow I called this J queen lucio brig **** soon as I saw shout. They took one of the biggest problems in overwatch 1 in AoE healing and made it worse.

  • J1MMYJ1MMYTV J1MMYJ1MMY (@J1MMYJ1MMYTV) reported

  • CaramelS88 シェリー*.+゚ (@CaramelS88) reported

    @BlizzardCS will there be a server maintenance for Overwatch? I'm having issues playing with my friends from other servers since the release of the new patch.

  • Kirbyi3q Kirby (@Kirbyi3q) reported

    Bruh, I’m so bored, can’t sleep, my gf just broke up with me and the only thing I think about doing is playing overwatch. Honestly I think I have a problem.🤙

  • CraterGaming_ Clone (@CraterGaming_) reported

    @LibraScopeYT @FloreyTheFloof @theRazbuten I've played both equally. While I feel overwatch is way more polished and balanced, I just find it boring as ****. While Paladins balancing It kinda feels like literally everyone is broken in that game. Although it makes it way more fun. If everyone is broken then no one is.

  • Seagh2386 Seagh (@Seagh2386) reported

  • ValyrianFPS ValyriaN (@ValyrianFPS) reported

    @Cringusxd Very anlacky. I was gm / high masters in Overwatch and aim is what carried me for the most part. I was addicted to aiming in that game but also in other games. Dropped down to diamond cuz of this input lag issue and then quit, would have dropped more probs. Can't hit shots no mor

  • the_yeti76 yeti (@the_yeti76) reported

    I love how I fix my sleep schedule almost every week before my off day and then I play some overwatch on my off day and then the next thing you know it’s 4 in the morning and I haven’t been to sleep

  • TehParalyzer Dean Federico (@TehParalyzer) reported

    @ERRRskate151 @sayonaralara_ 100+ hours before I decide I'm sick of Destiny. Overwatch I liked but after so many updates and changes...... I just said yknow what I'm done. The problem with online games. They don't stay the same. Hard to judge when to quit with some of them
