  • Checomal Checomal Coatl (@Checomal) reported

    The lack of any Activision-Blizzard content in smash should be a tip that they were even more difficult to negotiate than Konami, Microsoft, and even Squareenix (Not a costume, any spirits, nothing from Crash, Spyro, Overwatch, hearthstone, or Skylanders)

  • pitaya_guava Pitaya | Luffy Simp (@pitaya_guava) reported

    Thinking of thinning out my Overwatch Jersey collection The problem is I moved and havent found said jersey collection :")

  • outlaw86078252 MaybeOutlaw (@outlaw86078252) reported

    Apex is so stale rn, if they don’t fix it any time soon I’m quitting it for a bit, I’m gonna start posting other games like overwatch and seige. LMK what games y’all want to see.

  • grknshnbs Gürkan (@grknshnbs) reported

    @valvesoftware do you know what is going on up there? Because vac doesnt work! Overwatch is broken. We’re stuck in hvh mm servers… Why you dont anything? Or just say “we doesnt care players”.

  • StanSoldier76 Morrison’s Main (@StanSoldier76) reported

    Y’all where can I fix the better graphic on Overwatch pc?

  • Tornation1 Tornation (@Tornation1) reported

    @fuckitseominsoo 90% of the problems of the overwatch scene can be traced back to mismanagement/ greed from blizzard. Rogue is the textbook example of this. Their team died because they weren’t rich enough for OWL

  • ZoeyMorningstar Zoey Morningstar (@ZoeyMorningstar) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @overwatchleague Would be cool if overwatch 2 would get open!closed alpha/beta's in order to collect actual feedback, fix bugs etc rather than a marketing "beta"

  • TogeticTwo THE Guy (@TogeticTwo) reported

    @LukeCorreiaVA It’s the same as people getting mad and spinning bizarre theories that overwatch characters were made gay on a whim to deflect from whatever issue the company was facing recently and being more furious about that than the actual thing the company did

  • Zavulon_1 Z͗̋ͮa̓̒̎v̂͒ͤu̅͊̚l͗ͣͦö́ͣ̊nͧ̊̄™🏹 (@Zavulon_1) reported

    @honeyvonbunny Think of it how Zoolander wasn't an "ambi-turner" and could only turn left. Same problem when I played Lucio in Overwatch I can only wall ride left walls

  • sock_98 b. (@sock_98) reported

    why am i getting discord errors in overwatch

  • IsAnAccident Elysis (@IsAnAccident) reported

    @flamingbofa @Gazoxtahagen -Has less gameplay variety than Halo. -Most strikes are just railroads, story missions are lame. End game content requires trial and error or guides. -Both game have ****** loot. -I agree with this. -Destiny has Overwatch classes, not builds. -I agree with this.

  • SmallestSchnee Whitley (@SmallestSchnee) reported

    @HRNIKitty ((Don't get me wrong, I'm all for more representation, I just can't stand the hypocrisy. It's hard to take an argument seriously when people cherry pick who the rules apply to. There's no conviction or integrity in it. Same problem as the Overwatch verse I've seen.

  • matiasgoldberg Matías N. Goldberg (@matiasgoldberg) reported

    They could at least implement Blizzard's Overwatch smear vertex shader which delays position of some vertices, lagging them behind a few frames This could be improved by working animations at 60hz then using some math to smear-resample to 6-12 fps (afaik there's no work on this)

  • Neutralizi Neutral (@Neutralizi) reported

    Overwatch so dead... i got a 404 discord error while playing overwatch... but discord works?? WTF @PlayOverwatch FIX YOUR GAME

  • rein_chad ChadRein (@rein_chad) reported

    @BlizzardCS just a heads up, people are now starting to advertise their only fans garbage in Overwatch chat channels. I'm reporting them when I can but it's becoming a problem now

  • eggsalad2dx wario world 2, when? (@eggsalad2dx) reported

    @Puffy_Koko6 i get why people are iffy about crash and spyro and honestly i do not blame em for not wanting activision owned characters because of all the **** they’ve done at the same time though, itd be worse if its a product that THEY make like cod or overwatch, they just own the other 2

  • Mattsa_64 Dylan (feeling like a gay gorilla) 🌻 (@Mattsa_64) reported

    @NebulaHurricane @VerksRadio64 Activision trying to distract people from the blizzard scandals and will use other Activision subsets to do it. Overwatch 2 Discounts Crash early anniversary deals New events for their mobile games Its all to distract fans from bad publicity

  • Sgt_Ente Thorben (@Sgt_Ente) reported

    @teorgqa There is some ddos hack but that kills the entire server (so hackers can hack and Overwatch doesn’t get this case) But not someone specifically that I would know of.

  • BotWithOpinions Video Game Opinion Bot (@BotWithOpinions) reported

    There need to be more Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifles in video games

  • NewYorksLastSon Leg3ndary (@NewYorksLastSon) reported

    Hey @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent how about you guys fix your matching and stop loading 20 times in a row into games that have 30 seconds left and giving me loses without me even playing the damn game! #Overwatch

  • Lazy_Nap Lazy (@Lazy_Nap) reported

    @heekaCS @KpopFuckinSucks @DakCity_ It does work I’ve been using them for cheap games for years now I started back when overwatch was on preorder haven’t had any issues at all

  • Dar2uno Dartuno (@Dar2uno) reported

    I be so bored when I’m not working, overwatch isn’t even enjoyable anymore, I really don’t know anyway who plays anything else though

  • rein_chad ChadRein (@rein_chad) reported

    And by the way. If you abuse your team mate because of how they speak in voice chat.....you have serious fking issues and I'll have no issue in reporting you for being an ignorant *******. It's 2021 not the fking prehistoric era where being an ******* is normal #Overwatch #OW

  • xEyevou Eyevou Deltree (@xEyevou) reported

    @BlizzardCS Is there any update on this issue being resolved? I'm still unable to log into the Overwatch forums. [Ticket Ref: US81611442]

  • GunnerEesa24 Gunner Eesa #KroenkeOut #AFTVOUT (@GunnerEesa24) reported

    @Rhod3z Problem is I just found it full of hackers and lack of support for certain titles. I’m in the process of selling my GPU as I don’t intend to play again on there tbh. Only title I liked on there over console was Overwatch.

  • STAR2D2_ STAR2D2 | VTUBER (@STAR2D2_) reported

    I need to learn to hype myself up more lol Does anyone else have a problem with that? I guess I'm so used to talking down to myself, that I'm not used to telling myself "Hey I did pretty good" When I think about it even more I'm like 'was this a result from Overwatch?'
