  • chaggie_fenboy 🪝PinkyKinky~ (@chaggie_fenboy) reported

    @RoyalKats_ It's like people are unhappy with the concept of the game, some were complaining that abilities are broken and others that the gunplay was unfair. To which I say, ***** go play ******* overwatch or csgo. I'm a hundred percent sure they'd be happy to have you. literal oneheads

  • TheQuestBro Questbro (@TheQuestBro) reported

    @unclebotter I am having all kinds of issues with my GPU. It crashes on some games but not others, mainly FFXIV/Overwatch/A Hat In Time(for some god forsaken reason) and I can't figure out what is wrong. Laptop btw.

  • PerceivingMindP Purrcy (@PerceivingMindP) reported

    @dazza1179 I have to say it's been a while that I have played console. Last thing I played on console was overwatch and don't remember having this issue. But I replayed HZD on pc with 60fps and I basically grinded the story out in 3 days with 30h playing again. No issues.

  • GMadMan2004 Gayvin (@GMadMan2004) reported

    @CINC_W_Bane I had this problem so many times in Overwatch, except it was my Xbox disconnecting from the WiFi constantly.

  • woke_teen_ebook noahbot (@woke_teen_ebook) reported

    monthly login into Overwatch to say "****"?

  • EsPyramid Alex Geoffroy (@EsPyramid) reported

    i don't like fighting games because i don't have a competitive spirit but also because i don't find colorful but interchangeable characters who are primarily defined by gameplay mechanics very stimulating. i played overwatch cause it had a coop element but i had the same issue

  • theMoneyFolder moneyfolder: round 3 (@theMoneyFolder) reported

    When I first started playing Overwatch, I placed 2017 SR while not knowing how sensitivity worked. I would randomly turn it it up to like 70 sens becauae i thought "higher = better". I did not fix this issue until I was over level 200. I never dropped below Gold once.

  • VegetaD69 Daniel Burlew (@VegetaD69) reported

    Hog alone under half health Brig hitting him, Lucio shooting him and speed boosted, sig hitting him. He sucks his health walks away to one hit twice and survives. FIX THE BALANCE @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch

  • _1352_ J (@_1352_) reported

  • DaMulletMaestro MulletMike69 (@DaMulletMaestro) reported

    Overwatch Content Creators: “This game sucks, nerf this. Change this. He/She offended me. Omg this game is UN-playable. Blizzard fix this game!” Me: “How bout you just shut ******** up or go find another game to be good at? What kinda weirdo keeps playing a game they hate?”

  • yeti_jones Doctor Brick (@yeti_jones) reported

    @MemeDaddyBae @Spartan Overwatch had the same problem. Who do you listen to? The fraction of a percent at top level play, and ruin the feel for the rest? Or the 99.9% and ruin pro play? They have to just pick one, it doesn't matter which. Middle of the road or silence hurts everyone.

  • sixfeetbelowyou injoya (@sixfeetbelowyou) reported

    @Haider83207270 @PlayOverwatch Then people would just purposely lag out all the time. And overwatch is nearly impossible to win a 5v6 , but on apex you can still do decently well if you lose one. It’s not that difficult to understand.

  • RubyKing55 RubyKing55 (@RubyKing55) reported

    why ******** do i always get really really bad tanks that make it impossible to climb out if gold please explain. i get avg 15-20k dmg and gold emils every game. How do i lose these games overwatch devs fix match making please.

  • GluffOfficial Gluff ☃️ (@GluffOfficial) reported

    "I'm sick of photorealism" okay "I'm sick of the overwatch style" okay fine "I'm sick of the Crash Bandicoot styl-" ***** WHAT DO YOU WANT

  • Lazo41749019 Lazo (@Lazo41749019) reported

    @Naito_Shade The problem is that overwatch has had no update for 2 years, almost 3 years. 0 map, 0 heroes. More and more players leave overwatch

  • volskayadottxt Lore with Laurence 💙 (@volskayadottxt) reported

    However, this creates a problem: it doesn't align with the perpetually angry, hellbent on revenge iteration of Reaper. Heck, if Gabe's actions during Retribution and Uprising are aligned with current canon, him destroying Overwatch in a coup doesn't make sense. (6/?)

  • JackMeowison 🚀 Im Not Your Father. 💫 (@JackMeowison) reported

    (3) it just feels lackluster, though I’m still appreciative some loose ends from bastet were *******, there’s still a screaming issue there that I wish we could have answers to. When did Gabriel Reyes fall off the deep end, and what did Overwatch do to cause such hatred?

  • Naito_Shade Naito-kun (@Naito_Shade) reported

    There is so much hype around Overwatch 2, I am excited too, but it can have all the hype in the world and still end up a disappointment because they did not fix the -existing- issues in Overwatch 1, so it's going to be a new game with the same problems.

  • pulse_rifle Unofficial Soldier's Heavy Pulse Rifle (@pulse_rifle) reported

    @DiamondOfDirt @haloofthoughts the more attractive it becomes and overwatch, despite what anyone says, is an abandoned gold mine of a franchise. I think there is microtransactions potential, I think having it on gamepass will be beneficial. So it really benefits them to have a live service game.

  • MrAlphaZer0 Alpha Zero (@MrAlphaZer0) reported

    @korenuwu Yeah, Overwatch had a lot of problems that brought it down in the end. Pretty sad.

  • MercifulEmma 💫 Merciful 💫 | ENVtuber (@MercifulEmma) reported

    Okay change of plans. No stream tonight. My PC is having issues where mid game it will drop from 60 to 25 frames randomly and without warning making Overwatch almost unplayable. Sorry guys.

  • QuakeNBake7 The Great Exposer (@QuakeNBake7) reported

    @Bixby201 @Shpeshal_Nick Dude Xbox literally took away all of Bethesda and all of Activision/Blizzard minus COD/Overwatch from Playstation Even if SF6 is exclusive (not confirmed) where gonna compare FF/SF6 to Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom, Starfield, Crash, Spyro, Tony Hawk, Wolfenstein, Blizzard etc ?

  • britcommand0 BritCommando  (@britcommand0) reported

    @maethrilllian I don’t have that problem anymore, I play Halo, Destiny, COD, Overwatch, Titanfall2. That was a problem that I had and for unknown reason, playing Titanfall just helped me. 👍🏻

  • david_kennedy11 Deaf David (@david_kennedy11) reported

    I NEED TO KNOWWW Gabriel hiding out after the fall of Overwatch just in hiding snd Sombra finding him broken and alone, Repeatedly asking for him to help but He claims he’s leaving that life behind and just wants to be left alone

  • Tango2Charliee Tarun Verma (@Tango2Charliee) reported

    Please fix overwatch @CSGO @valvesoftware 1- Play after 2 months, **** matchmaking, gets matched against SMFC while being unranked (previously GNM) 2- Get destroyed, 3 kills in 8 rounds. 1 teammate abandons and we surrender. Went afk for 1 round since the opponents too pro.

  • pulse_rifle Unofficial Soldier's Heavy Pulse Rifle (@pulse_rifle) reported

    @DiamondOfDirt @haloofthoughts I mean, I don't think its a balance issue at all. Firstly, the players took the game to places the devs never foresaw but the issue has always been the content. Fortnite redefined live service games and overwatch has just not caught up. Even with mediocre balance more content

  • MyNameIsMayo_ mayo (@MyNameIsMayo_) reported

    @Archer_0W @anonymousOW If it's broken and it has been in the game for ages that doesn't make it any better it only makes it worse, but honestly I'm not going to complain as long as it's fixed for overwatch 2
