  • doseinalia marxist getō ☭ (@doseinalia) reported

    today was supposed to be nice & instead it's a hot pile of trash i should probably induce intense feelings of anger while playing overwatch im sure thatll solve all my issues and leave me newborn & starry & translucently fresh

  • Remysenpaii Remy (@Remysenpaii) reported

    Unpopular opinion (Overwatch edition): DPS should never complain about tank picks. They have the choice of 18 different utility characters. If there’s a problem with the team comp dps switches will solve far more often than a tank switch!

  • itbeHorus Horus (@itbeHorus) reported

    @sliceit20 I feel that dude. As a D2 pve guy it sucks I don’t have much in the game to feel I have “improved”. And from what I know of the Val ranked system it’s borked and I hope it’s changed to more personal performance because I know overwatch had the same problem when I played

  • IhadFireYT habi🥶 (@IhadFireYT) reported

    @BlizzardCS What do you mean? The money gets taken out whenever I buy it but then refunded when it says "Digital Purchase Failed." I've bought overwatch from Blizzard and had no problems, I don't know why now.

  • dietbottom 😤Yakuza Brain Rot😤 (@dietbottom) reported

    The toxicity that comes with support mains.. overwatch has a broken game and idk why I’ve held on this long I give up being a healer I’ll never touch support again

  • burntlog1 TT (@burntlog1) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch Can you guys hurry up and fix the ******* mic problem for Xbox Overwatch its been like two years since this **** is buggin

  • SuzukaIchinose Suzuka ♡ ENVTuber ♡ (@SuzukaIchinose) reported

    Overwatch was fun today !! Sorry for the lag, glad I got it fixed somewhat though !!

  • TheOnlyLuke__ TheOnlyLuke (@TheOnlyLuke__) reported

    honestly i'm not suprised overwatch is dying, that games community gets worse and worse as time goes along. still seeing the same **** that made it a problem 2 years ago, but people will just buy a new account and go again and blizzard don't care :)

  • CamDube noremac trebbud (@CamDube) reported

    @HawleyMO My friends are ranked too high for me to play with in Overwatch if I go damage. Fix this!

  • mustardman66 Doomfist (@mustardman66) reported

    I can't dude mccree is so broken and the dumbasses playing him have such a high ego it's unreal. why does overwatch got to have one of the worst ******* balance teams I've ever seen

  • edhesivetcg Eddie Bulmer (@edhesivetcg) reported

    @ the nickname thing Who cares if some friends want to name themselves after overwatch characters and make the event a little more enjoyable for them Punish those who use it to spread inappropriate or targeting messages Nicknames not the problem, ****** people are

  • SMin1on Savage_Min1on (@SMin1on) reported

    @AblazaLuis The issue was that the character designs were bland. In contrast with overwatches style it just felt boring.

  • BannithBanns Bannith (@BannithBanns) reported

    @TitanfallBlog I know some people have already said it but she's basically pharah... a character known to be very annoying in overwatch. Idk how it will translate to apex but free hovering and high ground, escapes, a bombardment etc. Probably gonna have a few issues.

  • whicc_ whicc (@whicc_) reported

    @450yrs @therealestglug @Hypo_Thermick They already have code that works though. This is a problem with VAC not working on linux. So if they just reused the concept and some of the code behind CS:GOs overwatch then maybe it could be helped a bit. Plus the boys are open source. Valve has NO excuse not to fix it.

  • henrybadger19 Henry Badger (VA commissions open!) (@henrybadger19) reported

    @Rickaerian My friend used to play overwatch comp with a broken keyboard and voice chatted with a busted rockband Xbox microphone does that count LMAO They were in diamond rank too wtf 👏🏻😭

  • bearpottedplant Bonus ashhhleeyy=)♡ (@bearpottedplant) reported

    overwatch is the worse example cuz it also has horrible visual design BARRING the team visibility problems but stuff like valorant still has the ****** red outline which i despise

  • Mine4ADream Mine4ADream (@Mine4ADream) reported

    @BlizzardCS I need help with an overwatch cosmetic issue, I tried getting it resolved on your site but didn't find anything that could help.

  • MetroByTMoblie Mona (@MetroByTMoblie) reported

    not only did i lose my first PSN account with all my old games because of chargeback issues. When i finally bought the game with my own money... i bought it. Overwatch sucks.

  • zo__n_ zo-n (@zo__n_) reported

    My boss got the number to the local internet people so I can maybe hopefully call them next week and finally get actual internet because hotspotting suuuuucks. C'mon man. I havent played overwatch in months. And hotspot overwatch ain't worth the lag

  • unrequited_kun GRDN unrequited (@unrequited_kun) reported

    problem with ranked in games like overwatch and valorant is that games are only determined by who is the better smurf

  • Elusivehawk Jeff Perando (@Elusivehawk) reported

    @GamersNexus Radeon HD 7870. I bought it for cheap in 2018, and it was surprisingly capable. It had its issues, like VRM cooling, which affected games such as Overwatch. BUT overall, I may still be running it if not for those issues.

  • Jtingles1 Jtingles (@Jtingles1) reported

    @Patriots @BostonUprising Serious question- couldn’t the overwatch game be hacked to give one team a small (but meaningful) advantage that no one would ever know about? Seems like if people start betting big bucks on this it could be an issue some day

  • JemDuducu Jem Duducu (@JemDuducu) reported

    @Retr0J #UBP Spend on games. Normally about £200 a year for 3 gamers in the house . But last 12 months more like £80. However Warhammer has jumped hugely and was about £1K in last year. I tend to paint then play overwatch when not working

  • DelilahBoopity 🐙Delilah🐙 (top 5% OnlyFans ) (@DelilahBoopity) reported

    @Raquel_Savage I played Overwatch for 24 hours straight and my hand felt broken so I kept flapping it up and down. It didn't even seem connected to my wrist. It was just moving up and down like a puppet hand.

  • CryptTrash MARS (art commissions open!) (@CryptTrash) reported

    Overwatch is impossible to play without leavers and throwers in every single match, purposely trolling. Apex Legends is impossible to play without getting disconnected either because of ****** ratfuck DDOS cheaters or because of the cardboard and dogshit servers. FML

  • GhostBoyJP JP (@GhostBoyJP) reported

    Picture this: 3am On Overwatch. Map 3 on capture point. You're a pocketed mcree against a pocketed mcree. 10% left to win.... Then BOOM: Xbox Update...😐😐😐 Duo said they lost to a tracer... If it wasn't 3am. Many things would be broken.

  • KSquea squeaK (@KSquea) reported

    i want to play overwatch but i legit cant because @Xfinity keep giving me huge lag spikes every 2 mins making the game rly hard to play :)

  • burntlog1 TT (@burntlog1) reported

    Bro tired of this bullshit I want to be able to plug in my mic mid overwatch game to talk to my teammates. Like it’s been over a year since this problem has risen and it still hasnt been fixed. Not to mention Overwatch 2 probably coming out in 100 ******* years

  • khaipipip citrus 🍊 (@khaipipip) reported
