  • Ksheehy515 IVCe | Pix (@Ksheehy515) reported

    @Asmongold League of Legends, Overwatch and Team Fortress 2 2016 have/had this exact issue Make the game more boring but the artstyle pretty enough so that the only gameplay is typing in your credit card number

  • cc670519848 ccC (@cc670519848) reported

    @CSGO Fix the overwatch,all of spinbot

  • Just_saiyajinG Just Saying... (@Just_saiyajinG) reported

    @EduToninho3 @orpheuspsn I don't think Overwatch is a bad game, I just think it was a bad example in this case. The major problem here is, that people just have different tastes. If someone doesn't like the typical gameplay of an FPS, chances are quite low, they gonna like FPS games.

  • MegaBites456 Noah (@MegaBites456) reported

    @Deadass_13ee I admit, these numbers could be under/over inflated. But I don't think it would be over inflated *this* much. Overwatch has a healthy community and meta that's still being cared for by it's devs. Valve has flat out abandoned TF2, and can't even update the anti cheat to fix games

  • pochitto_ Wahid~ (@pochitto_) reported

    @MetroidDatabase Smash by far, I mean fortnite and among us are like part day care part sweaty tryhards but they're pretty much harmless, Overwatch I realize I'm the problem so I can't speak if it but SMB ooh boy, the gatekeeping, the tryhards, the lack of hygiene and good manners and ofc the ped

  • mandaamaried 💐 mandaas 💕 (@mandaamaried) reported

  • KrishOza Krishna Oza (@KrishOza) reported

  • MadamDimitrescu 𝓛𝓪𝓭𝔂 𝓓𝓲𝓶𝓲𝓽𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓬𝓾 (@MadamDimitrescu) reported

    @ofmaidenharvest //oof my friend has the same issue with first person. She got some sort of bands she wears on her wrists and it lowers the effects literally. She can only play like overwatch with them on otherwise she gets super sick.

  • long_please long name for so reason so please follow (@long_please) reported

    @PlayOverwatch hey overwatch I was wondering could my account get unbanned I just got back playing after nearly two years and I was banned due to internet issues cos I would get kicked out the games

  • Miilkymami PotheadMercy (@Miilkymami) reported

    Idk why ppl playing the characters they enjoy on overwatch is such a ******* issue to ppl 💀 I stopped playing overwatch seriously ages ago when I do hop on overwatch it’s quick play and I play mercy cuz I ******* want to I seriously don’t care what ppl think cuz it’s a GAME

  • Gigawat5 Gigawat (@Gigawat5) reported

    @IAmProj3ct Well put @IAmProj3ct it's the same in overwatch Ranked even in bronze the toxicity is stupidly high for no reason, so many games with ranked/competitive have this issue it isn't needed

  • MegaBites456 Noah (@MegaBites456) reported

    @GameTheoryRejct @SavedYouA_GT Well now Overwatch is better because Valve doesn't fix (or update) their game. It's a sad day, truly

  • K_Reiwa REIF K (@K_Reiwa) reported

    @WarcraftMeme Overwatch death game, Heroes of the storm death game, in hearthstone people play only one mode, Starcraft with great esports potential also died. Wow have a lot of problem what developers dont see. No new products, and a bunch of mistakes that Blizzard made. Its just short list

  • Moza07720577 DANK (@Moza07720577) reported

    @CSGO Overwatch not working

  • desbroman severla (@desbroman) reported

    found an overwatch car in the local subway parking lot. time to crash into it with my TF2 car

  • alolanwhip lofi 🌺 (@alolanwhip) reported

    if acid got wrangled into playing overwatch and didn’t tell me there’s gonna be an issue

  • knuspa413 leon (@knuspa413) reported

    @imzawful @Andr0x__ @CSGO Yea, im sick of it, I returned to CS a month ago and mm is just awful. Enemys dont even try to hide it bcs they know they wont get overwatched. I hope valve is working on something big (VAC/VACnet overhaul) no way they leave overwatch in that broken state.

  • SoldierDelta SoldierDelta (@SoldierDelta) reported

    @ZJay_99 @SquadalaGuy2 @SavedYouA_GT Not really, though it could be argued. I meant that TF2 is very expressive with characters' faces. There's also the issue of character silhouette variety, but that's more a personal problem. Otherwise, Overwatch has better looks, but that's because it came out 9 years later.

  • Spicy_cremey Pharaoh of Sekhmet (@Spicy_cremey) reported

    @PlatinumEquin0x That's kinda my issue with some games now. Cause with the amount of heavy hitters were receiving back to back to back, it makes it harder to remember the stuff I'm actually hyped for. Games like Overwatch 2, Skull & Bones, and even Dying Light 2, etc. Completely forgotten

  • gabrielletrbl GabGab 🖤 (@gabrielletrbl) reported

    Will be going live again at 7:30pm AEST. This time I hope my audio issue worked out hehe. Will be playing left 4 dead with working mods then maybe Overwatch after!

  • miafetus lina the stallio̷n (@miafetus) reported

    coloquei o jungkook jogando overwatch no fix. fodasse

  • SoldierDelta SoldierDelta (@SoldierDelta) reported

    @SquadalaGuy2 @SavedYouA_GT Ironically, that was the only real argument in the video I agreed with, at least without any problems with the argument. The only really issue I have with overwatch's overall look is facial expressions.

  • PTLKronk PTLKronk (@PTLKronk) reported

    @LuluLuvely I like what overwatch or tft have done (only two references I personally know) where they have like test servers to play new stuff if you want. Also gives devs a chance to see if something is just crazy broken

  • Neutralizi Neutral (@Neutralizi) reported

    @overwatchleague @ShanghaiDragons @FLMayhem Hey overwatch league I'm pretty sure I watched more than 4 hours in the streams and still didn't get my Ana skin is it coming later or do I have a problem?

  • ian_c22 Ian Gouws (@ian_c22) reported

    Support is UTTERLY USELESS!! They keep closing ALL my tickets with "I can see that you seem to be having an issue with an Overwatch suspension." OMG! PLS READ!!! HELP ME

  • Fooshasta Shasta (@Fooshasta) reported

    @LuluLuvely No. In theory, Overwatch tried that with experimental patches before pushing it to live servers. But not a majority of their audience bothers with testing the experimental patch. Pushing to live then closely monitoring should be the way, with a hotfix in case it is broken.

  • Mr_Tippy99 Tippy (@Mr_Tippy99) reported

    @_cutezii @PlayOverwatch I cant login to overwatch

  • AbstractMatador Bryan Hernandez (@AbstractMatador) reported

    Getting too competitive in #Overwatch... reminds me of the time I stopped playing because of that exact problem. Love the game, but damn I get too upset over it. Plus watching a lot of #OWL2021 and if I can’t get that kind of communication I don’t want it.

  • imzawful ⇜ℤΔWFUL⇝ (@imzawful) reported

    @Andr0x__ @knuspa413 @CSGO Yeah the only ones that seem to be getting banned are ones getting vac bans meaning only ones with ****** cheats getting detected before they even get overwatched. Cheaters keep saying they won't get banned cause overwatch is broken.
