    u see tjhe inherent underlying issue with overwatch 2 is, that it isnt fun. like when i play it, i do not have a good time. and that seems like, a littl bit of an oversight. if u ask me.

  • nyanachiru 𝕟𝕪𝕒𝕟𝕒𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕣𝕦💜 (@nyanachiru) reported

    why is overwatch league so ******* UGLY hahahahahaha I thought it was my internet but apparently everyone is having problems with the buffering and overall ugly quality??

  • SideshowGaming Josh Wilkinson (@SideshowGaming) reported

    Fun little day of Overwatch co-streaming. Some wonky issues with lag, but last 2 matches were clean. NASTY flex support performances, Winston back in meta, Genjis going wild. Feels like the good old days aaaaaaa

  • tkeyahb3 Tkeyahb4 (@tkeyahb3) reported

    Overwatch has a smurfing problem that legit makes this game unplayable in ranked

  • n00bywarrior None of My Biases are Safe (@n00bywarrior) reported

    @Basee21681 @UberShouts Wow I'm sure that one caster has direct control over the entire broadcast quality and that the producers didn't know there were problems with the stream. Great idea you just saved the Overwatch League /s

  • w0nder_what w0nder (@w0nder_what) reported

    i was on my last placement match in overwatch and my internet decided to crash

  • _FireMonkey 🎄 Santa Ricky (@_FireMonkey) reported

    @RqzvE nah bro it's just overwatch any other stream I watch NEVER had this issue

  • TheMostDope1 TheMostDope (@TheMostDope1) reported

    @wwarrior_1 Yeah they really did a misstep I think. They wanted to try and "Revolutionize the Sequel" or something by making it essentially a big patch that rolls Overwatch 1 and 2 together to keep the playerbase. Admirable, but just sounds like being late to the whole Live Service Model.

  • CelestialUmbran Twitch.tv/CelestialUmbran (@CelestialUmbran) reported

    Stream it less making overwatch lose publicity. How has no one questioned that these top players have stayed at the top with no fluctuation and everyone else has the same problem year after year. Im convinced at this point. Its been as bad as winning 5 games and suddenly losing 5

  • AvivoDna Avi (REDEMPTION ARC) Vo (@AvivoDna) reported

    I’m sorry for the lack of stuff, family **** and I got readdicted to overwatch so that’s a problem

  • Qxstxbx andré!➰ (@Qxstxbx) reported

    The problem with overwatch 2 is that overwatch 1 was too good.

  • ThaMalware Malware Matt (@ThaMalware) reported

    I will never understand the “best map worst map” argument in games like Overwatch and Valorant. Like Breeze is my Chamber/KJ map. Split is my Cypher/Breach map, etc. I don’t think the maps can be bad unless there’s glaring issues/one sidedness, which even then is even in comp

  • DJmizzyGaming DJ Mizzy! (@DJmizzyGaming) reported

    Why does my aiming in Overwatch 2 feel different than 1 and how can I fix it?

  • anti_youngboy AntiYoungboy (@anti_youngboy) reported

    @PoorlyAgedStuff Idek what's going on with them anymore but L company + Floptivision + Overwatch mid + save crash bandicoot

  • MoAleXD Alex (@MoAleXD) reported

    One more reason why I'm not working on Overwatch ig.

  • arrobamartinmp Gl!tch (@arrobamartinmp) reported

    @__SupremeX @Matrollano Tbh overwatch devs don't listen too much to anyone xD There are some picks like Brigitte that were broken for like a year and every game when she was picked it was literally the anti-fun

  • ravensteele17 Ravensteele17 (@ravensteele17) reported

    Overwatch on console is literally a joke. I get so many errors and bugs it’s not even funny. Even when their brought up they aren’t dealt with.

  • connorbeifong — connor (@connorbeifong) reported

    I keep getting disconnected from my overwatch games even though my internet connection is good 😭😭 no lagging.. just disconnections. It’s starting to piss me off

  • Chanice_H12 Chanice Hird (@Chanice_H12) reported

    Overwatch league is becoming a joke! How you having lag when you have the money for the best technology?! Fix it @ATVI_AB #OWL2022

  • villanellesbebe daphne (@villanellesbebe) reported

  • TrueSpartanMKVI TrueSpartanMKVI (@TrueSpartanMKVI) reported

    @am7_et64 @FPSthetics @xboxxsgreen Sadly Quake Champions killed the interest for a new quake game with barebones live service and unnessary Overwatch elements, also they cant deliver Commander Keen for the new character even audios have leaked.

  • Alexjimmy01 Alex jimmy (@Alexjimmy01) reported

    @Puffnstuf_ @almo2001 That's the main issue with representation in media most of the times. Its not made for the sake of story its just made as a tick box. I would like new and awesome chars that happen to be representing an group than just flip switch. I mean tracer is a good example from overwatch.

  • Dark_Zekken Dark_Zekken (@Dark_Zekken) reported
