  • AndarielOW andariel ☆ (@AndarielOW) reported

    @Blake6455 @OWAnonymous_ My problem isnt with them, its just the fact that moira was the worst healer in overwatch 1 and when she FINALLY gets good they nerf her into the ground. This new ability is strong but shes weaker overall than she was before it.

  • BlueBuknee BlueBunny 🔞 (@BlueBuknee) reported

    @demonjoeTV destiny suffers the same problem Overwatch did with its events, just the same **** with something slightly changed every year, they need to change things up

  • JAMmontwt JAMm (@JAMmontwt) reported

    @FrowzySquirrel I suck at rocket league with the team working for me to get angry with the first one as they will be able by myself to the bathroom as well and the overwatch will not work and do not like I had to terminate the service to my bedroom and to the bathroom to the bathroom as well and

  • aesaint_twt aeSaintKaizer (@aesaint_twt) reported

    Uhhh, so.. #Riot issues with login.. Onto #Overwatch until hopfully it's fixed for #VALORANT..

  • lootpup Hound (@lootpup) reported

    Can't connect to the @PlayOverwatch 2 beta for over 12 hours now on PS5? Is anyone else experiencing issues? All my other online games work, LAN connection is fine. Reinstalled the beta too, did nothing. "Login Error: Failed to connect to game server" #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • zL_Fancy Fancy (@zL_Fancy) reported

    @intingpodcast Honestly I have a feeling the T2 scene is going to get shown more love because of the fact that Riot does not want an Overwatch league issue on their hands. Their promise to have an official collegiate league as well helps reaffirm my belief. In the end only time will tell.

  • lgbtqfc Kim McCauley (@lgbtqfc) reported

    We're in year 3 of covid and Overwatch League still has casters cutting each other off and calling stuff a second before we see it on screen. Riot and ESL had the remote issues worked out after a month.

  • SUGAblunt sarah⁷🌿💨 (@SUGAblunt) reported

    thinking about playing Overwatch again as an outlet for my ranger and frustration my brain won't normally let me feel but that game just makes me snap I could get 5 years issues out in a single match I bet

  • Forbidden_MAGE Forbidden_MAGE (@Forbidden_MAGE) reported

    can anyone that streams overwatch tell me how to fix the settings in obs or game because I don't want to cap my fps in game to 60 just to have smooth gameplay what do I have to adjust ? #playoverwatch #Overwatch

  • jjobaku 𓅂•ᛃᛃᛟ 𓆗 ᛒᚨᚴᚢ•𓃵 (@jjobaku) reported

    anyone else get hooked and forget it’s not overwatch and totally disconnect even though you were totally dead already and now you’re tweeting cause of the time ban wtf this is really stupid behavior lol and yet i can still spectate, that’s some **** lol

  • Raindrac Raindrac (@Raindrac) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ On the contrary, I feel like most of Overwatch's problems have been consequences of design mistakes made during early development. Y'know, back when the devs expected it to be mostly a casual game and thought that no limits was acceptable.

  • CremeDeLaCreams Creams | #BostonUp (4-8) | SeekerSZN (@CremeDeLaCreams) reported

    @FeederDiff @Crimzo Obviously an inherent problem with that is one role will become more important than the others. But let's not forget that Overwatch is an FPS, so damage dealers being that role that rises above the rest kinda makes sense. Even still, DPS might have a higher impact (cont.)

  • tinyvoidling voidling (@tinyvoidling) reported

    @AshleyKang The "2" in overwatch is just marketing bullshit, if they keep adding content just how LOL added and upgraded theirs thru the years, there is no need for the "2". But yeah, riot NEED to fix the client for the love of god.

  • Smollchanqueen Smolder Queen of dragons (@Smollchanqueen) reported

    Alright is the overwatch 2 servers down!?!!

  • yotsuyuu brit (@yotsuyuu) reported

    i miss my neckbeard overwatch era what’s my problem

  • Cyberknigt Cyber ⚔🛡 (@Cyberknigt) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN so... Me and my friend who's on pc keeps getting thrown off the overwatch servers after approximately 30 seconds, while friends on PlayStation have no issues what so ever. We also have long loading time to get to the menu..

  • ainaraV7 morally gay (@ainaraV7) reported

    i love qi xi and she seems insanely cool and while im not sure shes gonna b broken (grace should counter her right) this reminds me of when overwatch meta started to decline bc there were so many stun/CC charas that playing tank felt like being a football kicked around ghkjfsd

  • RealCoachDuke Coach Duke (@RealCoachDuke) reported

    @GeorgeCGed Isnt Nate Nanzer responseable for E-Sport at Epic Games after he left the Overwatch League? Just hope they learn from the problem with T2 OW and support them enough or let them have third party tournaments

  • DrPhil1881 Al Simmons 🦅 (@DrPhil1881) reported

    Fix your got damn severs @BlizzardCS #Overwatch

  • jayrelim JLT™ (@jayrelim) reported

    Delete overwatch, Sombra is so fcking broken man

  • vjshadow09 precursor vj ᵇˡᵐ❁ (@vjshadow09) reported

    random "Rendering device has been lost" error after restarting the game my cpu usage on overwatch was going up to 80% for like 5 mins what the hell now its back down to 3%

  • Sc0rch67 Scrge (@Sc0rch67) reported

    @AshleyKang Overwatch 2 was only made to try revive the game. It's just a mess and LoL doesn't need that. All I want them to do is, to fix the client.

  • _CastAdrift_ Adriftt (@_CastAdrift_) reported

    Disconnect from an overwatch game for like 20 seconds rejoined and won the game. Still lost the 50 sr. ???

  • henderson_zyon zyon henderson (@henderson_zyon) reported

    @BlizzardCS hello I'm trying to play overwatch but cant as I keep getting a message saying account missing overwatch license. Do you guys have any advice on how I could fix this?

  • hilentsills ao (@hilentsills) reported

    @AshleyKang Cold take: Doing an Overwatch 2 will be a guaranteed death knell for any live service videogame.

  • MOBBIN44 44 (@MOBBIN44) reported

    After sweeping Overwatch League intially, that got shot down with stacking Seoul Dynasty and London Spitfire...so distraught over that ****. I got y'all for sure though, give me about an hour to fix us up an eSports banger 💯💯💯💯

  • Rai__YT ЯΛI (@Rai__YT) reported

    @PaladinsGame this entire patch screams "hello overwatch 2 here take a majority of our remaining player base cuz we refuse to put out enough content and actually fix the game to keep players interested and happy with ours"

  • OwenDurst The Expressive Poker Face (@OwenDurst) reported

    @BikiniBodhi The lack of care it seems that the devs are showing towards the current issues afflicting the game, both in terms of cheaters and balancing issues. Also personally, I don't like the way the gameplay has shifted towards an Overwatch style pace instead of it's original tactical one

  • BubbaWyatt1 Bubba Wyatt (@BubbaWyatt1) reported

    @MisterYetiCasts I agree with this but my only problem is that I don’t feel like it’s how overwatch should be paced or played or etc. I feel that overwatch as a game was more about the team and moba feel so if OW2 was a completely separate game and OW1 was still there I would be happy (1/2)
