    If you’re not going to release Overwatch 2 or fix the game, at least give us more avoid slots.

  • FlsNevermore FLS-Nevermore (@FlsNevermore) reported

    @MrAppieAlt League, Paladins and Overwatch are the same way. I've had people intentionally lose or leave just because our mains are one in the same and it's hell if I don't get off their main. When it comes to pvp games like that I always have 4 to 5 mains so their isn't a problem.

  • FailedPyro 🔥🎮Failed Pyromancer🎮 🔥 🇩🇴🇵🇷 (@FailedPyro) reported

    @TakeTheLeg @DarthChillash One of my friends said his controller had a drift problem but he fixed it. He plays Overwatch like a madman so he wore that **** out.

  • j_step21 J-Step (@j_step21) reported

    @cosmiclxve Again I am not saying they don't exist, but with how things are now those kind of gamers are becoming less of a problem. Heck last time I my friends and I played overwatch there was no heckling or bigotry for weeks.

  • pampurins ━ ♡ pampurin (@pampurins) reported

    @asakosblog I think this article is malicious intent, that man clearly has mental issues that led to this, no one will commit murder suddenly over a video game argument and the writer knows naming overwatch will direct the issue to the game and not what truly matters.

  • THESHIMADAVIPER 𝑯𝑰𝑴𝑰𝑲𝑶 𝑺𝑯𝑰𝑴𝑨𝑫𝑨 | 死神 (@THESHIMADAVIPER) reported

    Necessity for our cause. Overwatch took something that had taken years to perfect and unraveled it over a few months. When I "woke up" I did not know how I was supposed to exist, I felt as if the thing I had been living for had been ripped from me- I felt like a broken tool.

  • Pigeon_76 Pigeon 76 (@Pigeon_76) reported

    @SerenPM @GameSpot let's be real overwatch is a mental problem

  • hydrou_s ;jack (63/90) | 📌 Joki Genshin (@hydrou_s) reported

    Kinda miss Overwatch I'm gonna login for one match

  • Neutralizi Neutral (@Neutralizi) reported

    So I just bought a new monitor, it's AMAZING, especially with the fact that I went from a 60 hz monitor to a 240 hz one but the only problem is that I can't play on full-screen on overwatch, it only works for borderless windowed. Anyone got a solution for this or is it normal?

  • SeraphSpire Seraphy (@SeraphSpire) reported

    @B3am4H311 I had the same problem in a ranked game yesterday cause I wanted to try it out. I told the team idk how to play tank, they force me to play tank, so I threw their game. I prefer overwatch system to being able to choose roles so you know what you’re getting into.

  • mermixed jacqueline (@mermixed) reported

    4 2cp maps in a row in comp. overwatch is so ******* broken they need to just burn the server rooms of this game

  • SerenPM Seren (@SerenPM) reported

    @GameSpot This isn’t a Overwatch problem. More of a mental problem

  • eeSqre Sqre (@eeSqre) reported

    @SeoulessOW if someone murders someone because overwatch I feel like the issue is the murderer and not overwatch

  • Stillzda Mr. (@Stillzda) reported

    @_Tom_Henderson_ If I'm honest I don't think this is a DICE issue but an EA issue. DICE have tried to deliver a game as best they could whilst EA provide the stencil.. which is overwatch come fortnight come apex. But stick some of your bf **** in there to make people happy

  • Reignited_Spyro Reignited Spyro (@Reignited_Spyro) reported

    @ItsWashington17 @Canadianguyehh I honestly don't get this mindset personally. Like, I get it, Activision is scum. But the money they'd make off of Spyro, hell the money they've made off of Crash is chump change compared to COD, WoW, and Overwatch. Plus, ABK is the guilty party here, not TFB.

  • BawbTehBildhar C6R5 Yae Miko Haver (@BawbTehBildhar) reported

    I was playing other games great with no internet issues then decided to do Overwatch comp then my Wi-Fi died… it’s a sign methinks

  • Legend_X_508 Legend x NB (@Legend_X_508) reported

    @vomiiee No one cares about the game being less fun for you I’m sorry not my or anyone else’s problem, the fact that you play Overwatch for “fun” really tells me something about your mental but go off brotha!

  • vanillabiscuitx ♢ᱬ Vanilla ᱬ♢ Love Marvel + Anime (@vanillabiscuitx) reported

    Ever since overwatch updated whatever voice chat error are, I unable to used it anymore. same goes to my friends. Rip voice chat. I hate Overwatch.

  • floppycerberus flopsy (@floppycerberus) reported

    @bear_nugs @GameSpot No way you just said "this is what happens in overwatch". How much you tilt is entirely dependent on yourself. The fact that this crime occurred is not because of overwatch its because some dude had some issues and decided murder was an option.

  • Robsferic Robert F. (@Robsferic) reported

    @LokbeeTalks @Warcraft @davidcaolo I know they were the "perps". I feel their priorities switched when Activision bought them. Money is not a problem for Blizz. They make enough money just with their own IPs. Overwatch if treated correcly could have been a goldmine. Branch out make animated shows or movies.

  • imurfavoritemom ur mom (@imurfavoritemom) reported

    @PlayVALORANT @VALORANTLATAM can we fix the ranks before we add more overwatch agents

  • QuizzicalQuartz quizzz (@QuizzicalQuartz) reported

    @ImperialHal I don't play it anymore but audio issues like this on other games makes me really appreciate the sound design on Overwatch

  • guitardude07 juan pacheco (@guitardude07) reported

    @washjustice Overwatch 2 is not working

  • rdstpr OT⁷ Red (@rdstpr) reported

    @ggukookmin21 My problem everyday....usually not overwatch but a game or something all the time

  • Roxanne_maevy Maevie (@Roxanne_maevy) reported

    @SamTheLucioStan I only play overwatch for catch the flag, my game usually ould crash and i would get banned for it

  • JongKimRyeol Jong-Kim Ryeol (@JongKimRyeol) reported

    @Gamer1Grown @sen_ebooks a lot of people get mad at the game because they have been playing for long time and they have not seen content in 2 years now. and blizzard does not want to fix issues the community keep complaining about i still love overwatch but i know why they are mad at the game :)

  • K1NGKYO ⚠️⚠️B||L||M⚠️⚠️ (@K1NGKYO) reported

    Legit I basically quit Apex & moved on to DBD. I still play overwatch too bc the servers actually work still unlike Apex. That game has so much potential but is broken af. I don't regret the money I spent but I wish EA would make it actually playable 🙃

  • iderekhall Derek H (@iderekhall) reported

    @PlayOverwatch why would i ever want to buy Overwatch 2 when you can’t even fix Overwatch 1 to begin with. SMH. Fix a game before putting out a new one.

  • AramyxDraws Aramyx Draws Lewds (@AramyxDraws) reported

    It's sad to see Overwatch getting as Roasted as WoW nowadays and they don't even need the Blizzard company issues to get so roasted lmao. Worse part is I wouldn't even defend OW anymore after their asinine handling of the IP the last months.

  • legacian Legacian (@legacian) reported

    @GameSpot Underlying anger problems. Has nothing to do with overwatch or being gay. Could've been any argument or any couple. The tragic part is that they were together for 10 years. I can only imagine what happened over those 10 years to lead to this.
