  • Solid_S_G SG❗️ (@Solid_S_G) reported

    @JAAY_ROCK_ The issue with accolades system is for all games it has to go further than just the surface level, what it did for overwatch was good and all but at the same time. If people are ****** on purpose or just not a good team player did it “really” effect them

  • Closy123 Closy (@Closy123) reported

    @IronFists_tv @bstategames dont know why people are so against it being made into youtube content i mean it works fine for CSGO overwatch system what would be the issue here.

  • LosingColor LosingColour (@LosingColor) reported

    @jorrgames @DeadbyWolfe @DeadByBHVR LOL "I Hope Your Carpal Tunnel Gets Worse" with the overwatch spray of that broken arm kid 😌

  • RedNaariii red (@RedNaariii) reported

    @PlayOverwatch my overwatch 2 beta is not working after i just bought it for console please help

  • emilyrosemcg R(yo)se | 🌹🐰 | ⛩🅱️ (@emilyrosemcg) reported

    I will never understand why certain games make me nauseous and others don’t. I can play Overwatch for hours on end, no problem, but Life is Strange makes me sick. I can play Ghost of Tsushima all day long, but Stray makes me feel woozy. I even turned off motion blur. 😩😭

  • RiverNotFlowing River (@RiverNotFlowing) reported

    @CharlieHoya @jeremyallen2134 @mattxiv The problem with the current definition of marriage is that it’s overloaded by multiple commitments: child bearing, finance, love. They should be decoupled. Child bearing is the thing that needs government overwatch, the others are civil contract and non-contract respectively.

  • C_Dobbins Christian "Kris" Dobbins (@C_Dobbins) reported

    I miss playing Overwatch but I'm not supporting Activision/Blizzard anymore, at least until they fix their issues. What's Apex Legends like? Is that fun to play?

  • snakestores Robin (@snakestores) reported

    DbD is a good outlet for that cuz it's the same as Overwatch. A live service game with a variety of characters and I like a lot of the characters. Both guys and even the gworls even though I don't talk about them as much. They get a lot within the community anyway

  • arcthegoodboy Gannondork_👾 (@arcthegoodboy) reported

    i really wanna play overwatch but one of my ps5 controllers L2 is broken and my other has such bad stick drift that it happens during gameplay 😭😭😭

  • CleanseOnLoL Cleanse (@CleanseOnLoL) reported

    @riotgames @LeagueOfLegends please fix your game else it will end just like overwatch its so unfun to play these days thx riot games

  • xEyevou Eyevou Deltree (@xEyevou) reported

    If you are using an AMD GPU it's a good idea to update your GFX Driver to 22.7.1 (released today) if you play Overwatch. There is a fix to a stuttering issue.

  • CucumberHonHon Devin Botelho (@CucumberHonHon) reported

    like legit every Overwatch game i play right now feels like my team is dominating or getting our asses kicked no in between, hopefully Overwatch 2 brings new people in because im thinking it might be a population problem.

  • sk1nnyth1ng Mia 🔮 (@sk1nnyth1ng) reported

    pulling an allnighter playing overwatch to fix my sleeping pattern

  • traivoskini Yvonne traivoskini (@traivoskini) reported

    @tltd_adam @wcstillwell What works of a version two or three would do though? This an issue 100% on the developers of the listed games, they are the only ones that can fix it (Overwatch works absolutely fine, however)

  • KamrinS2 Kamrin S (@KamrinS2) reported

    @BlizzardCS can u guys unban my overwatch account, my internet isn't the best and I always lag out which cause me to get suspended even though I join back smh

  • heaveyuro Namesis (@heaveyuro) reported

    @StateHouseKenya @JamesMacharia_ @TransportKE We even have enough natural resources like Cement sand land.. little money for Architects & engineers & firm overwatch as the prisoners, NYS,youth etc work together to finish the housing problem..look at Arabs, a 170KM housing line with money..we don't buy rocks cement sand land

  • ConsoleFrogg Ripley (@ConsoleFrogg) reported

    I swear overwatch players are gonna start saying **** like “Actually I kinda miss 2CP it was kinda fun🥺”. No you don’t, no one does. It’s ok to get rid of **** game modes, yes the maps were a primary reason for it’s issues but it’s not like the mode was all that interesting

  • GameBreaker75 GameBreaker75 (@GameBreaker75) reported

    I've seen a lot of people having trouble with separating the art from the artist, I can like someone's art and not agree with the artists ideals, I'm able to enjoy an EA game but still hate their practices or play Overwatch but still not agree with the way women were treated

  • OWAnonymous_ Overwatch Anonymous (@OWAnonymous_) reported

    Most heroes in Overwatch are well designed from a gameplay perpective and I don't believe any of them should be removed. To me, most of the problems when it comes to their balance are related to their power level, but that's it

  • APoxyDubliner Niall 🇮🇪 (@APoxyDubliner) reported

    @DawsMan546 @Arshia_aab @videotech_ You're wrong. Technically cod is a yearly new IP. Since they release new games. Cod will be exclusive. Overwatch 2 is free to play and will be updated. There aren't going to take the game away. Warcraft is a mmo that makes sense. Crash and Spyro, cod will be exclusive.

  • RoseDees7 Rose Dees (@RoseDees7) reported

    @CritFacts @RealDJCthulhu I will not be subjecting myself to either piss poor product. I have my qouta for ****** live service in overwatch and I wont be making that dive into even lesser a product. be apex legends good or better; otherwise Ill stick to single player

  • WarnTV Warn (@WarnTV) reported

    Seeing players from other games complain about their little temporary problems makes me so sick to my stomach.. I play Overwatch, check your privilege

  • DawidPatryk666 Dawid aka Bonus Bob (@DawidPatryk666) reported

    @SmolBTNE @AsoGirl29 + power-ups), and it apparently takes the inspiration from Overwatch and Splatoon so I wouldn't call it a ,,fighting game". However, personally I'd have no problem with the actual Crash fighting game released sometime in the future.

  • taymaybay13 Trippy Little Princess 👾🏳️‍🌈 (@taymaybay13) reported

    @cbell_cbell My brother and I had a very very good friend we played Overwatch with for years. He was older than us and had health problems, so playing overwatch with us was something he said he looked forward to. He would text us if we weren’t online to make sure we were okay, etc 1/

  • RedBerrySorbet “Tap!” went the shoes~ (@RedBerrySorbet) reported

    Dear “splat tubers” No, we don’t give a **** if there will be a test fire, or a direct. No, we don’t give a **** about your “problems with Splatoon 3”, because the ******* game isn’t even out yet. No, Splatoon isn’t Call of Duty, nor Overwatch, or any of those ****** shooters.

  • Buttrocious Jenkum Jones (@Buttrocious) reported

    Having internet trouble, but I think I finally know what the problem is. Anyways, I think I'll finally stream Overwatch tonight.

  • VolverseLoco Trash Cowboy🎠🏜️ (@VolverseLoco) reported

    Is overwatch super glitchy for anybody else recently? Like I get a lot of elimination delays and the issue with contesting on point but still losing has gotten worse too :/

  • Zen_Knight_V Zen Knight || Vtuber Extraordinaire (@Zen_Knight_V) reported

    Quick stream update! I am still gonna stream tonight, just a little bit delayed. So planning to start in about 20-30 mins! Will be Valorant if it doesn’t crash, otherwise some Overwatch/Genshin
