    I just started playing & I think I know how to fix your game. Fortunately you're no Valorant & Unfortunately your characters aren't as cool as the ones on Overwatch. Possibly a revamp on the mechanics & abilities of the game could make it more attractive. @PaladinsGame

  • CalebGamerOW IV otorP (@CalebGamerOW) reported

    @Bosozoku @PlayOverwatch Login to Overwatch you will see something interesting on their eyes

  • PabiloonRJ Pabiloon (@PabiloonRJ) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Please, pleaseee fix Overwatch on Switch, the sound bug really messes up my ears and the massive fps drops that parchimarchi update brought are unmanageable... before they were ok but now they are very annoying i can’t even aim at all

  • Frans_Gender 🦷Frans Gender🦷 (@Frans_Gender) reported

    I get pretty awful Rubberbanding when playing Overwatch. I feel like it may be my internet connection but I'm wondering if there's any other issues it could be? I'm connected by ethernet cable.

  • DanielJCollette Daniel J. Collette (@DanielJCollette) reported

    i don't think the valorant meta is developed enough to justify 6-man rosters yet this was a problem in the beginning of overwatch as well. learning how to effectively use subs was something that took coaches YEARS to understand in that game

  • TFORCE81940916 TForceCollection (@TFORCE81940916) reported

    @SbmmWarzone @Activision Activision won't reach out ... you guys got the same issue with the one's running overwatch. the fact that you offer a paid service became a red flag for them.

  • JojohawkAC Jojo AC (@JojohawkAC) reported

    @anqelbabys Lmao I never really broke anything until early high school where I broke mouse cause I was mad at overwatch, but I haven't broken anything in a long time

  • pasteldork jasmine ♡ (@pasteldork) reported

    how do fix packet loss in the overwatch video game

  • WereLow Marlow! 🪄 (@WereLow) reported

    i cant believe i can’t play comp in overwatch for a whole hour because i had to fix my internet since it wasn’t even letting me in the game

  • SaucyBeast0453 Ashley Barrett #SayNoToRacism (@SaucyBeast0453) reported

    @crablexd @Hazza_RL No problem! Sounds like it's an issue with him and Overwatch judging off of a comment I saw from someone else. Doesn't seem like a great person in general to be honest.

  • 48H1N4V84N3RJ33 Abhinav Banerjee (@48H1N4V84N3RJ33) reported

    @SamuraiZane @VChidor @TPaoIucci If you get pissed off while playing #Overwatch, you are the problem and not the game itself. Don't play a team-based game if you don't wanna play as a team.

  • meryl_the_bat Meryl The Bat (@meryl_the_bat) reported

    I maaaaaaaay have an overwatch problem

  • iiconniic Conni🐸 (@iiconniic) reported

    i have tested games on OBS to see if they work(not lag), so far here's what works: Minecraft stardew valley genshin impact nDS emulater the only game that hasn't worked is overwatch, I which I'm a bit disappointed with hopefully none of these don't lag once I go live :|

  • _mohosolo Solo (@_mohosolo) reported

    Anyone got any tips for streaming overwatch and it not lagging? Been running into some trouble with it lately

  • needitdigital nala 🪴 (@needitdigital) reported

    Overwatch: where I WOULDVE BEEN IN 2008 I don't have been waiting for an outage,

  • BulletWilliam_ BulletWilliam wear a mask (@BulletWilliam_) reported

    @NINTENthusiast Err hard disagree. Overwatch works great. I think Apex is fine it just needs to fix the blurriness a bit.

  • lisasdevotion JULI⁷⁺⁴ ❍ - SUPPORT PIN‼️🙏 (@lisasdevotion) reported

    For like 3 days, I’ve been experiencing a terrible latency problem (i’m on ps4) for overwatch and i genuinely think i’m gonna stop playing overwatch cause of this

  • Th3InfinityNerd ♠️♦️ Lewis ♥️♣️ (@Th3InfinityNerd) reported

    @YongYea **** it, vowed to never buy a loot box again (I had a major problem during Black Ops 3 and when Overwatch was in its prime, I am so happy that I got over that addiction), but I'm willing to buy this one.

  • AlyssaMakesArt Alyssa 👩🏽‍🎨 plays M(Thee)G (@AlyssaMakesArt) reported

    I have been flip-flopping on the idea of buying Overwatch 2 (when it releases) because of the whole Hong Kong issue over a year ago, but now with the way they are treating their employees I am done, done. Not a dime more to Activision/Blizzard.

  • astralplace Luna (@astralplace) reported

    @IVIarco_ @Apply I’m an Overwatch manager who is directly in charge of such issues, I think I’m qualified to give an opinion. The situation being discussed is not in game behavior/rivalries, but player expectations in private spaces managed by Blizz as well as online when they rep orgs.

  • ziyadali055 pyramidhead5 (@ziyadali055) reported

    @iTzHaRoNa @DeadByBHVR Na I feel you man my ping always go to 110 for no reason when I play overwatch it's my ping becomes 30 they said they fixed the the servers so if your lagging you lose

  • BackStabBud BackStabBud (@BackStabBud) reported

    @KujiKatsumi @CyberSnip_G @daevamelodies What the hell does game balance have to do with a ballistics class, there is a monkey with a jetpack in overwatch I don't think our problems lie in realism

  • tenhandsgaming Cynthia (@tenhandsgaming) reported

    @BlizzardCS overwatch, playing on xbox one! i restarted the game and im still having this issue.

  • sunfl0wer717 ✨sunflower✨ (@sunfl0wer717) reported

    why can't overwatch make it to if I'm on a certain hero, when I open the settings it's on that heros specific settings? I don't want to scroll all the way down each time I want to fix my sens for one hero >:(

  • OfficialXandr_ Xandr (@OfficialXandr_) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Can you guys please lower resolution on switch (while docked) or fix the horrible frame rate on it? I literally only play on handheld because it's unplayable while docked. #overwatch #NintendoSwitch

  • CheZ_dS YeN 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@CheZ_dS) reported

    @MKViableManatee Simple fix is to have the game run though a client, there is a reason overwatch never had that many cheaters. Run the game through a client and have programs scanned before play, not as bad as kernal, but just have certian programs allowed and others blocked.

  • GRVTII grvti 🐀 (@GRVTII) reported

    I may have to move my Overwatch stream up to later, I'm not tired at the moment but I may crash soon

  • bitchoniisan Sam 🏳️‍🌈 (@bitchoniisan) reported

    Giving my copy of overwatch away to my brother because my nets so bad I was forced to quit and let me tell you I am a broken woman

  • ZenoKagemaru Snake Queen Zeno (@ZenoKagemaru) reported

    @M0xxLL @CEOofYOSHAAA @OWAnonymous_ Rank doesn’t mean a lack of understanding, and in fact, it doesn’t mean ANYTHING in a game that’s as horribly unmoderated as Overwatch! Sure, I’ll concede that you’ve played her, but that doesn’t mean you can claim she’s broken, especially using goats as an example.
