@TWTHEREDDRAGON Minecraft over Overwatch? No, we can't have this. Overwatch has Mercy and Dva. We must fix this.

@Sharito742 Part of the problem is that ceremonies like The Game Awards have been giving corrupt studios (like Activision/Blizzard) a pass just because some of their games are good. They did it with Overwatch, and they did it with Seiko: Shadows Die Twice.

@christ1anfl0ppr @PlayOverwatch I don't typically play this sort of game, Overwatch is the only "live service" sort of game I play. So when I actually looked into it, I was kinda blown away by how CONSTANTLY other games get TONS of new content. Fortnite gets like 3 skins a week by comparison.

One thing Overwatch 2 - or hell, Overwatch 1, make some changes in the new year - needs to fix is the situation with leavers in ranked. Not only should the initial window for a game reset be longer, you should lose MUCH LESS SR than you currently do if someone bails.

@irbezek @inner_scorecard Saying that $ATVI's management has only became a major problem recently, shows me that you are not very much inversed in video games. Ever since the Overwatch League and HOTS League problems it was clear that there are major issues.

Trying to play #Overwatch at night when the lag isn't so bad. And of course the only people on quick play are morons. Sigh.

@alextechnically Oh yeah and no server browser too, the problem with the veterans is that it feels too much Battleroyale or hero-shooter like Warzone, PUBG, Fortnite, Overwatch and Paladins. That's why many fans are pissed over BF2042

@MomentumOW i went to call of duty and its definetly not any more fun than Overwatch, but at least it sucks and its honest about sucking. it doesnt pretend to be good on you. Come play our latest game Vanguard, theres spawn killing, camping and no regs everywhere. no we wont fix it. enjoy

@OW_SVB @SeoulessOW I'm actually considering making an Overwatch pug service similar to PugChamp for TF2. Ladder is garbage.

I know Riot has a lot of the same problems that Activision/Blizzard has but man if Act/Blizz was less of a roiling management disaster they could’ve beaten them to punch and done a Netflix Overwatch series before Arcane went and ate their lunch.

@HayleySez A year before Overwatch was announced, I wrote a character who had temporal issues and was teleporting randomly. They needed a device installed on them to control the ability; a bright device strapped to their chest. The only real difference was that my design was a triangle.

@iDumpedTheSpice @PlayOverwatch Which I will also mention that they aren't sure if Quick Play Classic or Open Queue Competitive will be coming back in Overwatch 2 due to the whole 5v5 format since they are going to be making the Tank heroes way more powerful than ever which could cause problems for that mode.

I wish @Sony/@PlayStation still owned Crash and Spyro. It sucks that a company as scummy as @Activision owns these iconic characters. #CrashBandicoot4 was wonderful, but a Crash 5 and Spyro 4 seem unlikely since they can't be monetized as easily as Call of Duty or Overwatch.

Hi @BlizzardCS I can not hear team voice chat on overwatch on ps5 console, I have tried all methods to fix it, sound settings in game, restarting my console, unplugging extra devices but I can’t hear anyone!

Whatever the team wanna do next I hope they UNDERSTAND how much the fans where let down and prove themselves they can fix that. For the future of the franchise. Before Overwatch and Apex, Borderlands was my thing. And you know how much I appreciate my games. 💔

@Dibz__ That is the problem with so many of Overwatch's issues when it comes to handling the player experience - it requires manpower and long-term support, something it's clear Activision isn't willing to provide.

then comes the Corp with overwatch and valorant. sanitized, heavily moderated environments with effeminate characters (half of which are usually bait for coomers). they're "games as a service", an endless consumer treadmill to milk the target audience

@SenatorShaheen No! You are not Governmentalizing our Internet, we have enough overwatch now! Any City not having these should have a local meeting on potential solutions, this is NOT a State of NH problem!
