    I know none yall play Apex but I just need to rant cuz I'm just dumbfounded by some of the headasses I've read in comments today. It's like if Overwatch was broken for 10+ seasons and all they had to show for it was $600 in paywall+RECYCLED content within a 2 month window

  • MadDoggGames MadDogg (@MadDoggGames) reported

    Overwatch 2 servers down or something? Keep getting disconnected.

  • ImKane666 𝑮𝒂𝒏𝒆 𝑲𝒂𝒏𝒆666 (@ImKane666) reported

    Apex the same way. High rank but still cant ain't at me. Come on man this isnt good. Overwatch is much much worse because to me, Sojourn is so ******* broken and if you dont believe me, I'm about to show you. Using her is like playing COD Advanced Warfare, Infinite Warfare & -

    @Madskillphil @PlayHearthstone It's a known issue, but Blizz isn't saying anything about it (like usual). Overwatch is down as well.

  • dyinggiraffe1 Mike G (@dyinggiraffe1) reported

    @aaronkellerOW Rework Mercy's damage boost, it's so obviously a busted ability that required basically no skill or thought process to use. Plus it creates balancing issues with the DPS heroes. Just get it over with and fix your game. #Overwatch
