    Sup nerds! So... PC gaming. 🧵1/x I didn't build this PC. A friend of mine gave it to me, and it was good for many years (all I really play is Overwatch on it). But every time I get on it recently I've started to notice some performance issues. It started with noticing that...

  • kasey_cullen MissKCullen (@kasey_cullen) reported

    Mercys royal knight is good don't get me wrong , but the staff itself is too big, it takes up half the screen, oh I would've thoughtsee would say some knight voicelines or something, like "royal knight at your service" #Mercy #Overwatch #RoyalKnight

  • Knife_Chelewae Knife-Ears (@Knife_Chelewae) reported

    29. Overwatch. Honestly hated it, it was one of those you get it because your friends got it games. But I randomly got super into it and was stupidly good at it. Like carried games good at it. Zenyatta was so broken when I played. Golds and play of games every game.

  • Brettispaghetti B̲R̲Ξ̲T̲T̲S̲ ̲W̲O̲R̲L̲D̲ (@Brettispaghetti) reported

    Just sit at the edge and spam dair. I love this game and I have high hopes for it but instead of focusing on the issues at hand why are we releasing new characters instead of fixing the issues at hand? Overwatch suffered from the same fate and died quickly.

  • DaniOnBroadway dani (@DaniOnBroadway) reported

    @xrbit0 @kitnns Studies show only way to solve this problem is to quit Overwatch 😨😨😨😨😰😰

  • jnubgaming jnub (@jnubgaming) reported

    @npaxton12341 @thegameawards im just saying that putting real people into a property means that you risk that individual doing something controversial. overwatch had this problem as well and had to change the change the character's name.

  • XM06Official ~ XM06 〄 (@XM06Official) reported

    problem is im in between games rn I think I've narrowed it down to Overwatch or Apex.

  • KellyGillies1 GamesR'Us (@KellyGillies1) reported

    @DaddyMousePalas If they could alter it to only load in sounds of the current champions skins, it might fix it. While I prefer Paladins over Overwatch, this needs to hopefully be fixed by September

  • SnailSucker Lucius (@SnailSucker) reported

    @dumbidiotenergy n my issue as someone who's wasted their life with csgo is that the gunplay is too easy and the overwatch *** **** happening overloads me way too fast so I just end up feeling miserable and disoriented

  • hajime_sdr2 hope (@hajime_sdr2) reported

    @KICHIJOJI_199X I'm actually gonna block you what the fucj is your issue an OVERWATCH CLIP??

  • NamalTv Bibou (@NamalTv) reported

    @XP99_9 @PaladinsGame They dont care, they think making skins or new champion thats what players need. Let overwatch 2 comes out, they will see if people will continue to play a broken game

  • BS222378301 BROlympic (@BS222378301) reported

    @FroggerOW Feel like this is a product of the PMA era of Overwatch... It was toxic af but nobody would point out glaring issues or talk to each other constructively lol

  • OGsirStoney Stoney 🍥 (@OGsirStoney) reported

    @elonmusk Choices are limited on Starlink with Cgnat network issues. Pretty limited to overwatch. Maybe if this "new tech" supported ipv6 I'd be able to play a wider ranger.

  • Summonbolt1 Summonbolt (@Summonbolt1) reported

    @Krashy 100% agree. Ranked already felt like a we were playing a different game compared to the competitive scene. More disconnect=a worse experience for the general playerbase. Even my diamond overwatch lobbies feel better than unite ranked and OW ranked pains me so much

  • DomNeverMisses ♢ 𝐃𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐨 ♢ (@DomNeverMisses) reported

    For a child abuse, for a rough handled Role-playing session with a NONE Overwatch related character that she didn't know and HAD no idea who this was! And what so ever what issue/mental kickoff this person had! Some girls with razer sharp teeth and other morons -

  • vierabxn jen ♱ (@vierabxn) reported

    So i can reach platinum in siege and overwatch no problem but when it's League I have to get held back on Silver constantly?? This is such a waste of time lol

  • snakestores Robin (@snakestores) reported

    @SteviesMilkers It's not a fun to camp and tunnel and I don't care if it's effective, it's very unhealthy in the long run. Overwatch had a problem with CC and stun being a meta that it was making players quit, but it was the effective way to play at the time. Things like that need to change

  • Red_Witcher2 Red Witcher 2.6 back into the trap-verse (@Red_Witcher2) reported

    @HardcoreMetal89 @Captain_Shoffer @PS_Vortex Could be roit games bc of their successful live service games like LoL, overwatch clone, and their next live service fighting game (hope I'm wrong)

  • Diogoalvesfa Unreal (@Diogoalvesfa) reported

    @PlayVALORANT When are you nerfing chamber ? What were you thinking when you made this broken agent ? Do you want valorant to become overwatch 2.0? Also bring back split. Terrible decision making there

  • loftypurple Tessa (@loftypurple) reported

    3 winston 3 lucio being the meta in overwatch when it first came out was the first largest warning sign about the games design issues that role locking never fixed tbh.

  • arnivold Adrian - MAGI Unleashed! (@arnivold) reported

    If Overwatch 2 REALLY wanted to fix their team comp problem they'd make the game 4v4 1 Tank, 2 DPS, 1 Support Not this halfway "we can't fix tanks so we're just going to artificially reduce demand" crap

  • magerolls18 🏳️‍⚧️round boy🔞 (@magerolls18) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ overwatch players when there's things in the game that are very big issues and need to be addressed by the community and blizzard in order to be fixed

  • CalKappaPlays Callum Thom (@CalKappaPlays) reported

    @EAFIFADirect Difficult to put multiple cross platform players in to the same lobby?!? Is that why fortnite, overwatch, apex, warzone all run so ****? Is that why they are always not working? Lol.. Your excuses are irrelevant in the 21st century. Please go back to 2001

  • kariana_rose Vampire | KarianaRose | Vtuber & Artist (@kariana_rose) reported

    Is anyone else having issues with Ana's sleep darts making contact (Actually making the noise and visual effect) but NOT sleeping people?? I keep having this issue and its so frustrating. #Overwatch

  • garir_ow がりあー (@garir_ow) reported

    My overwatch was broken. :black-out. I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling

  • fdgdzcddv Jake Paul (@fdgdzcddv) reported

    @BlizzardCS Just seen this reply since I don’t actually have twitter notifications on but I just wanted to make a huge apology for wasting your time it wasn’t a problem with overwatch it was a problem with my broadband (virgin media) but thanks for trying to help :) I love your game

  • Sneakyfrogcasts sneakyfrog @ his bed 🤒 (@Sneakyfrogcasts) reported

    VCT franchising would either go one of 2 ways 1. Crash and burn like the overwatch league 2. Find success like their MOBA counterparts liken LEC Riot needs to tread carefully and execute this right because you only have so many chances

  • RealJayhost Jay Hostetler (@RealJayhost) reported

    @asmrglow_ @mevzzzz I don’t have PC either, my PC stop working weeks ago it quit while I was streaming Farcry 6 until September I will give my PC to @mevzzzz to take to vo tech school to get it fix, I’ll be streaming Overwatch via PS4 tonight

  • ReaperActualGa1 Reaper Actual (@ReaperActualGa1) reported

    @NoiceGuy_ @TweaK_GG The game needs an overwatch system. Watching all killcams and it should be blatantly obvious who is cheating and who isn't. No warning nothing you get spotted cheating the mac address on your pc is banned. Problem solved.
