  @WingBuffet Ah! I haven't totally experienced that yet-or maybe I have and just haven't noticed! I find myself almost having to relearn the style when I have to switch. I don't know that there's a ton of crossover between painterly and that sort of Crash Bandicoot / Overwatch sleekness.

  Overwatch is one of the buggiest games I've tried playing lately, seriously has game breaking bugs and yet customer service is so difficult to chat with and no one on reddit can give any helpful advice. Honestly seriously thinking about quitting the game entirely.

  @MrReckless94 @S3NT1N3L17 @thatoldgamerguy It’s unfortunate the first game became dead competitively and on life support casually. I hope the devs address the issues the O.W. community has been desperately telling them, in time for Overwatch 2.

  @showorks_ I dropped playing Overwatch like 2 years in bc the balancing and everything was eco. Hopefully they can fix that up a bit.

  @NVIDIAGeForce #RTXON overwatch 2, good to replace my broken PC 🥺

  I have literally 0 interest in Overwatch 2. It’s the same game, a few new heroes and maps, live service so we can get conned, and zero innovation. I’m not even mad, I’m just disappointed.

  What I don't get about Blizzard is that they could never get the balance right in Overwatch after they reworked Mercy. What makes them think releasing a glorified update (Overwatch 2) will make those problems disappear?

  @TheJJJJD Dunno how you guys doing that, I constantly have a problems lighting Overwatch characters, Arhomangel models specifically.

  @Android_Sparky So.... Her having roughly the same amount of body hair as ever other overwatch character is the least of the issue with this character. Roadhog, Junkrat, Zarya, Doomfist, torbjorn,and Hanzo have the exact same amount of body hair... Especially in that region.

  @sIicksquid I cant fathom why they just didnt ******* update overwatch 1 if theyre going to essentially merge the games like JUST ******* FIX UR FIRST GAME!!!! its such a bad look they see their first game is batshit horrible and are like 'lets just make a second one instead'

  Finally Overwatch making a good decision to make it free to play and adding in a battle pass. The only issue: more micro-transactions, smurfs and hackers

  @Hutch2MuchOwO I hate that the new approach to "This game is broken" is "Let's just ignore it and make a new game that no one ever needed" Looking at you, overwatch 2

  @Android_Sparky Overwatch over here getting new characters and Valve won’t even fix TF2’s bot issues. Smh /salty /hj

  @guwumi @MiiyaUwU_EN @Dat_Bui01 It's a mindset issue, which is caused both by the player and the game. My experience with competitive Overwatch is ruined because I was friends with a toxic mercy who always put me down and we never played for 'fun', only for the comp point rewards and ranks.

  Today i was playing overwatch and i hear my mom call my name loudly, so since i thought i was in trouble, i stopped on the middle of my competitive match and went there. When i arrived, my mom was watching tv, pointed at the tv and said: look, 𝙎𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙨 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚

  @HoshizoraOW They're already in the game lmao tf are you scared for? Overwatch has had a cheating and toxicity problem for actually like 4 years by now and it's completely unaddressed. The amount it'll increase going f2p won't even matter tbh

  for me this mad maggie and junker queen issue is a two cakes situation for me. but it's so cringe seeing apex frogs comparing and ****. hating on overwatch is not rlly a personality trait my dudes

  @The_Ant_17 I’m sure there will be many exclusives Just not the big online games: Call of Duty, OverWatch, Diablo, World of WarCraft, Candy Crush Even the single player franchises with big multiplatform appeal like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro probably won’t be exclusive

  .@PlayOverwatch any plans to fix blatant throwers that won’t move during match and then tell me to kill myself in team chat for calling them out in comp?? 🤔 #Overwatch #Overwatch2 @BlizzardCS your game is a liability tbh, one of these days…

  formerly Gwyndylan (@Foolspeare) reported 42 minutes ago

  @misclickable @yeHHH It should be tuned to be pretty fair and not predatory, but a game has to make money to be a live service. Overwatch’s overly fair monetization is a huge reason the game died and had no content for several years. Monetizing cosmetics (a nonessential feature) is a good start.

  Overwatch 2 should cost money just so they can get some not ****** servers that disconnect me every 2 hours

  why’d i’d come back to overwatch when i had already broken free twice

• 
  jorinstenssen (@jorinstenssen) reported 49 minutes ago

  @Berryz___ @PlayOverwatch My guess is they're calling it Early Access since not all the content will be in it yet (missing the PvE content). PvP will be considered complete and starting live service; New maps, heroes and other stuff over time, just like Overwatch 1 used to do.

  CartridgeGames (@CartridgeGames) reported 50 minutes ago

  @tinybatsignal A big problem i Can see happening is that they seem to feel like they must cover everything from all the studios they bought. Grounded and Fallout 76 probably didn’t need updates on the main stage. D4 and Overwatch is also kind of pushing It, but they’re new big games still

  @XboxSupport This is the 3rd time for kicking me out of a comp game on Overwatch please fix this as soon as possible I need those comp games in!

  Luke (@MegabaronOW) reported 57 minutes ago

  @Snake_Eyes_Red @WaifuX_Warriors @EnderPandaPlayz The issue is this is the stuff that should’ve been just added to ow1 but they stopped it’s development completely while making overwatch 2 that feels too similar to ow1 to call it it’s own game

  Chris (@tr1lane) reported 59 minutes ago

  @jaysan_q @JudgeSeal @AshleyKang I would say that's an issue with class/character based mechanics rather than specifically MOBAs. Think Valorant, Overwatch and R6 for example - fundamentally FPS but hard to learn and harder to spectate as a casual viewer.
