  • its_wang1 jason (@its_wang1) reported

    taking a break from valorant to save my mental. daily overwatch streams and broken aimlabs records inbound 😎

  • Nish_SC2 Nish (@Nish_SC2) reported

    Dude...ladder is sooooo broken in overwatch right now. There was a Silver 2 player in a Bronze 4 game?! I know because I'm in Bronze 4 due to playing Kiriko again.

  • pitsipiru Demonina (@pitsipiru) reported

    @EskayOW I feel like the problems stem from the same root cause as many others: overwatch does very poor job explaining the core concepts of the game.

  • skkyii_ Skkyii💫 (@skkyii_) reported

    I work so hard in @PlayOverwatch and for what? I work and work for my rank but I can't get it up. I hate the new Overwatch. No one knows the definition of teamwork anymore. I do so well but never get out of bronze and silver. It's just hopeless now. Competitive placing is broken.

  • FrostyTerror Bhinji Bikari 💜🤘💙🤘💛 (@FrostyTerror) reported

    @DrDisrespect Online FPS ia live service now, has been for a while. There's no new games because Overwatch 2 season 4, Apex season 16, Siege y8s1, etc... If you're sick of one, switch to another. But we aren't getting new games 😕

  • TheFoundo_FN 🛸🚀₮ⱧɆ ₣ØɄ₦Đ₳₮łØ₦🚀🛸 (@TheFoundo_FN) reported

    Not playing Overwatch 2 until they fr bring back Lootboxes, not make everything cost money and fix them heroes

  • fattyclipsOW fattyclips (@fattyclipsOW) reported

    i'm uninstalling overwatch because i hate the community so much. my favorite game ever. uninstalled. because people suck. though, i'm sure its a skill issue and its my fault. but whatever. you guys are officially worse than valorant and league.

  • lottiedere lottie (@lottiedere) reported

    @CODCode904 this isnt an overwatch problem esp not a specifically ow2 problem💀 clearly YOU havent played long enough lmfaoo

  • WatchNohr3915 Orlando Perez (@WatchNohr3915) reported

    @Senorish @MegumiBandicot I'll say Chun li (Street Fighter), Tracer (Overwatch), Crash Bandicoot, Spongebob SquarePants, and Spyro the Dragon for Smash.

  • milk_ze ZeMilkMan (@milk_ze) reported

    @NoungahTV @HackDotSlash @VeriitasGames I don't think you realize just how hard it is to implement an overwatch like system. There's also no way to know how "effective" CSGO's system even is, since it has an absolute shitload of bugs and issues.

  • thehairybanjo Harry Heaton 💎🙌💎 (@thehairybanjo) reported

    @PlayApex did you dump half a clip into the enemy? No problem, that never counts as an assist. You're useless and should just quit playing. Overwatch is pretty cool though. You're welcome, Respawn.

  • YHWdrawings Myst | YHW (@YHWdrawings) reported

    Fr 2018-2019 Paladins > Overwatch to me, gameplay is more interesting/fun, sadly the game is polished very badly and the company that owns it does a terrible job, so its just been downhill Similar characters was never an issue for me because I feel like home no matter what I play

  • LycorisDBD Ly (@LycorisDBD) reported

    @OWCavalry 2CP and ****** Maps were the best. I know 2CP had problems but now is 5v5, Blizzard Should have tested before removing every 2CP maps. OBS: Push is a fun mode but with the WORST Maps desings i ever saw in Overwatch.

  • UltimateTS64 TS64 (@UltimateTS64) reported

    @JonComms When the inside of a Switch box looks like this, I get hesitant on whether the port is good or not. Overwatch and Crash 4 and traumatized me

  • StygianWorm Thea 🚬 (@StygianWorm) reported

    @TrillsHell @IHateFallGuys it has a lot of charm and the mechanics & character designs are intuitive and fairly well-executed. it’s always had some balancing issues but it stops the game from being completely boring, and overwatch 2 feels kinda watered down in comparison the bugs are the best feature 🙏

  • GreySceyl Grey (@GreySceyl) reported

    @DpsDeku @EskayOW the overall leniency with stats in Overwatch has been the largest part of the problem and I feel like I've been screaming into the Void. The lack of threshold for assist vs. eliminations has players thinking they do more than they are.

  • liarlyreSA друг (@liarlyreSA) reported

    @Akileese It didn’t help that MultiVersus came in hot with a new update seemingly every other week. It set unrealistic expectations. Overwatch kinda had the same issue. Stopped having new characters every quarter, interest dried up fast. It will never recover now

  • jawbreaker_x JawbreakerX (@jawbreaker_x) reported

    @Tobmoh @tessuals i played paladins when i was like 13-14 years old, and i played it for YEARS, but i was never able to shake off the feeling that it was simply a low-budget Overwatch with significantly more technical problems

  • Dr_Scaphandre Spaceboi Scaphandre 🇺🇦🔞 Play Persona 5 Royal (@Dr_Scaphandre) reported

    @Mug4Times Your first problem was playing Overwatch in the first place

  • fatherexco Carlos Emiro (@fatherexco) reported

    WHY ARE GOLD 1s GETTING BRONZES AS THEIR DPS IN OVERWATCH LIKE NO , I REFUSE TO GUIDE DEGENERATES WHO CANT PLAY THAT GAME RIGHT. THATS SABOTAGING MY SR PLEASE FIX MATCHMAKING

  • KaijuCollects Kaiju Collects (@KaijuCollects) reported

    Overwatch related freebies available (not pictured): I have a free comic book day issue, as well as a Genji shirt. The shirt is a size L Our Universe brand, light grey, with a Genji icon on the front. Only tried it on, cant stand the material (sports-like), so it is like new.

  • booboo_burner fix this app you pasty bloated unfunny **** (@booboo_burner) reported

    on one hand i do think the ai voice generators are on the same type of issue as ai art (hire voice actors! they're great!) if not worse but im not gonna act like biden playing overwatch clip isnt hilarious

  • Warlock_NA Warlock (@Warlock_NA) reported

    You know there is a genuine issue when Quick Play is sweatier than Comp. 🔥🔥 #Overwatch

  • hotdick53 Big Albert (@hotdick53) reported

    @AlandreaRogers @abraxaspillbox @tessuals you have to admit the odds of two characters from different games having basically the same kit is just not something that happens as much as it does by chance. I don’t even have a problem with it. Overwatch did it with TF2, let’s just be real for a sec, games copy other games.

  • SipSpaz SipSpaz (@SipSpaz) reported

    The temper tantrum was caused by the capture card not working and audio being ****** for no reason. Gonna chill out and fix the card and if I can’t get it to work, Overwatch will be the first game

  • eboshicorp ekvibn (@eboshicorp) reported

    @PlayOverwatch here we have the overwatch devs wasting their time instead of fixing the problem of overwat ch add back 6v6

  • sapphicshearts NERF SOJOURN 🐽👑 (@sapphicshearts) reported

    I’m not playing ranked overwatch until they fix the matchmaking. There should not be bronzes in gm games and vice versa.

  • opp_goblin opp (@opp_goblin) reported

    @FlackPenzer @nights507 @tessuals what are you even referring to? i don’t experience any of these issues and i’ve been playing intermittently for 2-3 years. the only somewhat predatory part is the lack of attainable free cosmetics, but overwatch is on an even more stingy system now so what does it matter

  • babynirnroot Babynirnroot (@babynirnroot) reported

    @battlenet fix overwatch match making I'm putting out 10k damage and getting stuck with healers who don't know how to play

  • BoyeSlutsty 🔞 Dusty, but NSFW! (FWA + DenFur!) (@BoyeSlutsty) reported

    the amount of people throwing a fit over junkrat in overwatch is... kinda funny. "he's the most OP character! He's even more broken than Hanzo!" might i introduce a concept called: spatial awareness. and your W/D keys. Just don't move in a straight line??? lol
