  @TrevTheBeast10 @WillyMacShow @nicholasdeorio You joke but as a kid I used to spend hours on the slot machines in pokémon games. Then I spent days on slot machines in cinema servers on Gmod Then days on slot machines in Tower Unite Then about 800 bucks on lootboxes in Overwatch. Then I realized I had a problem.

  @OniiKamii Have you tried updating your GPU drivers? I ran into a similar problem in Overwatch a long time ago

  Overwatch has a nice system where you can ban people you don’t wanna meet again. MK should have the same thing. Lag switchers , Mashers should all be thrown in a bin somewhere.

  @PlayOverwatch Really hope you can help me. I had to reset my ps4 due to a problem with one of their latest updates. Everything was erased, but I can download the games I already had...except for Overwatch origins😞😞, there is the legendary edt. But have to pay again for it.

  @fur_yiff @egglikesbaal @OWAnonymous_ The problem with Overwatch is just that. Widow players play the character as if they played games like CoD or CSGO. This is another big reason why her character just doesn't work in OW. I know guys who came straight from CSGO to Widowmaker before double shield 1/?

  I am indeed loosing faith in #Overwatch. As unique of a game it is which I cannot find a replacement for, its community has got to the point of only toxicity. #Overwatch2 Wont fix this and with the beta reactions, people will be stuck on the "ITS BAD" mentality.

  @JulesSimioni @Mattwo7 @TF2OutofContext No, Overwatch died because it had issues with balance, which got brought up by strange changes, and new characters that were unbalanced to the point of breaking the game or be useless. Also the toxicity of the players that leaded bad publicity for an artificial eSports game.

  @CrownCosmo ...gonna be honest, Cosmo, from someone who complained about people calling overwatch "dead" because it was less popular, this is kinda hypocritical. Especially since this has nothing to do with the problem?

  @MrsP123 -WoW off and on -76 off and on -Overwatch until I get too annoyed at folks I'm forced to group with. -Fortnight solos, just enough to scratch the Nuclear Winter itch (I've opted to not buy anything for that game, due to poor costumer service from EPIC) -ACNH,building up my Island

  The biggest problem with Overwatch is it can be lost by one player but it can't be won by a singer player. In games like CSGO, Valorant, and even Apex to an extent you can at the very least "carry". Smart plays and aim will take you far. Overwatch is just unsatisfying to play.

  Swear Overwatch is glitched. I feel like i'm super good and winning games but at the end it say defeat and I lose sr???? Anyone else having this problem

  @arkclaimer Why would we need a sequel for a live service game? Did overwatch 2 really make people believe that games as such profit from sequels?

• 
  SonyaInTheBin (@SonyaLynn) reported 42 minutes ago

  @joshhaber @Julius_Kim Yeah, the FPS comment is pretty off the mark, unlike the rest. The FPSs that glorify realistic guns, combat, and killing are a problem, IMHO, but there are also FPSs with a far more cartoonish and harmless quality, like Fortnite and Overwatch. As always, YMMV.

  how to fix overwatch in one small patch if something does not take mechanical skill, remove it - mercy, junk, winston, moira remove the ability to run two shields at once, including rein-winston halve all shield durabilities halve hanzo's damage output and remove headshots

  @OW_ICED I think the problem is: is that it effectively kills the popularity or even the potential of other hero arena shooters. Like why play this "when you could just play Overwatch". Battleborne died, Lawbreakers died, Crucible shot itself in the foot kind if but it had some thing cool

  BombtailsTheFox (@BombtailsTheFox) reported 47 minutes ago

  @JulesSimioni @Mattwo7 @TF2OutofContext You realize that your solution is basically "remove everything that made TF2 unique, and turn it into a generic modern shooter game a la Overwatch, without letting people customize their look", right? And even if it happens, it still doesn't fix the issue of the bot's rampage.

  @Blizzard_Ent Fix your ******* game you worthless excuse of a development company. Overwatch is unplayable, and it takes 6 years for bullshit ow2. Useless.

  Ullar/Jonas (@UllarWarlord) reported 50 minutes ago

  not to mention the culture of FPS as a whole. I'd even go so far as to say that gaming space would be oversaturated with CoDs and the like as opposed to hits like Overwatch and Valorant. From a design standpoint, it was a big way for guns to be more than just military-issue 2/9

  @OWAnonymous_ The issue is that you still care about rank in overwatch 2022. You should've stopped caring by 2020 tbh.

  If you want Valve to update TF2 here's what you can do: >Stop Playing the game >Stop buying from the mann co store >Play Overwatch >Email valve about the problem Instead you guys would rather self promote yourself through a tweet campaign.
