    @vF_AIMER7 When I played overwatch for it's first week (comp only) I did nothing but lose. It placed me in bronze 5, currently almost in gold. Probably a skill issue tbh

  • PlattypusA plattyy (@PlattypusA) reported

  • necrolipe 'Necro' Felipe #UniversoNintendo (@necrolipe) reported

    @GoNintendoTweet No problem as the code will download Overwatch 2 from eShop anyways

  • Yoshii_wastaken Yoshii (@Yoshii_wastaken) reported

    @lest_no @Le_Scoobla @OWAnonymous_ This is a fair point tbh, but the issue I have is people whaling on genji for having the ability to do damage burst while other heroes can basically also do so, making the amount of hate unwarranted imo, overwatch is a game in which thought and planning can counter most heroes.

  • KnxttedDILF 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙬𝙞𝙘𝙠. 🔞 3,5K❗ (@KnxttedDILF) reported

    @JinxedJewels_ × I don't blame you, I avoided it outright and I don't /do/ preorders. I'd say it was worse than overwatch 2--barring the severe net errors, the game (OW2) ran really well and is polished! Better be, since it's just OW1 but with 3 more characters. But yeah it had a huge -

  • NemoBeatrice Nemo-Beatrice (@NemoBeatrice) reported

    Is anyone having trouble hearing people's ultimates go off in Overwatch 2?

  • RAINCOATMODE センジ (@RAINCOATMODE) reported

    Watched a video of the complete Overwatch lore and its so funny to see how poorly put together everything is, the ideas are there but the timeline makes 0 sense. I hope PVE will fix this somehow

  • radicalseabies 👻 SPOOKIES 👻 (@radicalseabies) reported

    overwatch 2 is so funny. i just got placed into this broken game of hollywood where neither team can leave spawn or change heroes and the game timer is stuck on "unspecified 0:18" and every time i or anyone else leaves we just get matched back in after requeueing dhfdbd

  • AirahShunken Airah, Club Owner.🍾Twitch Affiliate. (@AirahShunken) reported

    @HoshizoraOW Overwatch's thing is being a broken unplayable mess rushed out the door so idiots like you would forget that Blizzard is run by a bunch of abusive shitstains and would stop talking about it. Valorant is a more playable game by a company ALSO run by abusive shitstains.

  • megaroars Megaroars (@megaroars) reported

    @SnowmanYT117 @Aspen_OW The same problem exists in Paladins, because there are so few games that are objective base like Overwatch, Paladins, etc. many people are new to this type of gameplay, that being said there shouldn't be THIS MANY people having trouble with it.

  • orii_ow ori (@orii_ow) reported

    @Frozenchips1 @PlayOverwatch what are you on about, its hardly criticism wtf 💀 what part of the tweet did you not understand, how do you genuinely enjoy a game you hate? like I said, sounds like a you issue, either adapt to overwatch 2 or just find another game that pleases you

  • frogncnk yesh (@frogncnk) reported

    @BigMacDadyJones @watchthatboyfly @OverwatchNaeri the overwatch 2 live service is scummy and sucks for free players, just accept it. they should give more coins for challenges, and either add back loot boxes or put OW coins in the battlepass.

  • voidroonil voidroonil 🌈🦅 (@voidroonil) reported

    I can tell Overwatch 2 competitive is in full swing because players are simultaneously putting Mercy at the bottom of their tier lists saying that she’s the worst support AND screaming crying throwing a tantrum that she’s broken and needs to be nerfed

  • mattstat7160 MattisticStatistic (@mattstat7160) reported

    @KeysaTrii @RustyPickle115 That's the problem with multiplayer games Overwatch being the primary example of this I do think that Wahoo World is a bad stage objectively, but you can absolutely still like it. Same with inking spawn - I'd prefer you do it after respawn, but if you do it at the start, eh.

  • ameIiance cringe (@ameIiance) reported

    i'm worse at overwatch than i used to be, i think bc i'm having trouble assessing where i need to enable people's mistakes and heal them thru them bc that's just how they're gonna play vs. letting them die to absolutely ensure i don't follow them into death idk

  • KumokaraVT Kumo ☁️ ENVTuber (@KumokaraVT) reported

    uninstalled overwatch until they fix their dogshit ranking system

  • DontAraAraMe Don't You Ara Ara ME, young lady! (@DontAraAraMe) reported

    obviously if their chuds were alphas and could make a woman ****** we wouldn't have this problem. I'd have 6 more overwatch accounts if they were capable of making females ******, lol.
