  • AstroKiri KiriKat (@AstroKiri) reported

    @leona_irl @its_jape @PopcorpGFX And MANY people who play overwatch have spending issues already and look at other f2p games they have extremely predatory systems that work SO GOOD fortnite is being sued for using them on children

  • MyNameIs_Lonely Lonely (@MyNameIs_Lonely) reported

    Overwatch is pissing me tf off. How do I go from a 60% wr then drop to a 51% because I win 1/7 games today. Match me up with people of my ******* rank. Why am I getting Gold 5 tanks that literally are in the ******* enemy backline. Fix your dumbass competitive system Blizzard.

  • kitteyandkat Kwanzaa Baby 🎅🏿 (@kitteyandkat) reported

    30 seconds left in the 7th win, and overwatch servers crash 🥲

  • shbooby Zeke (@shbooby) reported

    When you realize that the Queue All roles pick in Overwatch is just healer 2.0 but with slightly better teammates. Fix this @PlayOverwatch it should rotate each game but it never does 😭

  • plushibo siri (@plushibo) reported

    @emilytriesthis last night was the first time in a long time that i rage quit overwatch the lobbies and server issues are sooooo ******* toxic and bad rn

  • AwayMelons Melons Away (@AwayMelons) reported

    @Kore_YT I remember he played for the Dallas fuel in overwatch league season 0 and got in so much trouble (mostly for saying dumb **** on stage) that he was unable to play more often than he was allowed to play and by stage 3 of season 0 they dropped him lmao

  • FrischesBread Reaper (@FrischesBread) reported

    @C0Angels @Stylosa But in other Games you can get the in Game currency through the battle pass or some missions. In overwatch you can only get a few every week (nearly nothing). Another Problem is that in overwatch (1) you got these chests where you can get skins from and they just dropped

  • hollond_james Lacking a good name (@hollond_james) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I have been infinitely stuck in queue in overwatch. This had been happening for 4 days straight now. Your support team is useless. If anyone knows how to fix this I'd be very grateful 🙏 I've deleted the app multiple times and that doesn't fix it.

  • atypicalgaymer Atypical Gaymer (@atypicalgaymer) reported

    Is overwatch mmr just absolutely broken for everyone still? I continously get teams with one to two people that play with ZERO awareness and still have bonkers stats on my end. Like what happened from OW1 to 2 that I feel like mmr is so out of sync? Is it just it going to f2p?

  • ethunderx Cyberstarnova (@ethunderx) reported

    @IdleSloth84_ I believe since MS made Zenimax and probably will make Spyro, Crash, Diablo, and Overwatch exclusive that MS should give up it's publishing rights to Sunset Overdrive.

  • summerkek sum🐯 (@summerkek) reported

    @guildkin_678 @TehShi1 @EskayOW if you can say “he is not an issue at all” with a serious face you just don’t understand overwatch’s state at all right now

  • LadyxKrYMson Lady (@LadyxKrYMson) reported

    Sorry for not streaming last night Knights! Had some personal issues go on yesterday but I will be live later on this evening for some Competitive Overwatch! Be there or be square!

  • MafiaOw Mafia_OW (@MafiaOw) reported

    The heroes that a player has unlocked needs to be part of the criteria for Overwatch matchmaking now. Having 1 tank be able to abuse a hero while the other tank can't is a huge factor in comp to consider. This is primarily a tank problem since there is only 1 tank per team

  • Kost2B_17 BOOB GAWD (@Kost2B_17) reported

    I’m legit not touching overwatch till roadhog gets nerfed like how did blizzard not see him as a broken character

  • ningenpatrol ningenpatrol (@ningenpatrol) reported

    @BlizzardCS (1) hello blizzard, I have come to my wits end when it comes to my experience so far with Overwatch 2. Unfortunately, I have been experiencing an on-going issue with my account being potentially wiped after my attempt with an account merge 2 months ago.

  • hypnonico Nico (@hypnonico) reported

    @Harvok_Azir Oh it did??? That's wild, yeah I stopped playing Overwatch 2 right around mid-season 1, I just wasn't having as much fun as OW1 and I wasn't earning any rewards really so I gave up. I'm still mad they removed OW1 from service bc I loved playing that

  • FF_Gaming_5004 FF_Gaming (@FF_Gaming_5004) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent yo any eta on when you're gonna fix overwatch comp?

  • EwwPickles ewpickles (@EwwPickles) reported

    JUST LOST AN OVERWATCH RANKED GAME BECAUSE IT RANDOMLY MADE MY GAME RUN WINDOWED AND APPARENTLY THE PING MENU IS ******* BROKEN IN WINDOWED SO I HAD THE ******* MENU STUCK ON MY SCREEN AND I COULDNT DO **** **** YOU BLIZZARD YOU *****

  • Stratidemic Stratidemic (@Stratidemic) reported

    Day 2 at my parents for Christmas The Overwatch withdrawal has already begun I need my fix man

  • Astro_Anomxly 💫Astro❄️ (@Astro_Anomxly) reported

    @A_dmg04 Do what Overwatch did a while back and release broken guns/ hotifixes to mess around with people

  • UnstoppableSlam UnstoppableSlam (@UnstoppableSlam) reported

    @cloudtsuu @Stylosa It’s because Overwatch 1 ran for years and years without this scummy money hungry system, the only reason they changed things was out of greed which is why everyone is upset, if suddenly you had to pay to use a normally free service that actively got worse, you’d be upset as well

  • gmanjack42 JACKCLE (@gmanjack42) reported

    @DirtBlondeMedic @ObotoWes @OWAnonymous_ Opgg. I’m focusing mostly on pick ban rate because that’s more representative of the problems in overwatch, also naturally champs with very high pick rates tend to approach 50% winrate because it’s just as likely to end up on either teams

  • dynamogent lovebomber (@dynamogent) reported

    @PlayOverwatch just admit you took a wrong turn instead of this constant hand-wringing damage control Overwatch 2 is a worse experience than its "predecessor" in every conceivable way: fewer features, less progression, broken matchmaking, ranked without ranks eat humble pie and revert

  • willfestu Will 5 (@willfestu) reported

    time for another regular tweet about how overwatch needs to fix doomfist @PlayOverwatch and by that i dont mean make him good for a whole 9 days and then nerf him back into the ground (literally the fastest patch in overwatch history)

  • Headshotawat669 Headshotawat669 (@Headshotawat669) reported

    Daily update of apex legends ******* sucks and sbmm is still broken asf, I just wanna shot stuff and not have to ******* fight for my ******* life Every. Single. Game. vs masters and preds. What's out there for actual shooter games other then ******* warzone or overwatch?

  • IamTigax 🎁IamTigax 🎅 (@IamTigax) reported

    @Jay3OW Somethings definitely broken about it. I'm in lobbies with diamond to master players every other game. Being in Silver/Gold on my roles, i dont think i belong in the same matches. I peaked at Mid Plat around Overwatch 1 so even then I was rarely facing diamond players
