  • __Jacobbb_ Jacob (@__Jacobbb_) reported

    @EllixFlowers Overwatch cause it’s such and unbalanced and broken game 🥲

  • ROHIN072 Rohin (@ROHIN072) reported

    @ALK4L1NE So you're temps look good, your drivers are updated, you checked ram and connections inside the computer. Could be something like not enough space on your drive. If you really can't identify the issue maybe you just reinstall windows again. Also reinstall overwatch if u haven't.

  • EnnyishQuil Enny (@EnnyishQuil) reported

    It's so stupid and idiotic that I can't believe I didn't realize it sooner Overwatch vs. Dota 2 DPS = hard carry Support = Support (lol) Tanks = Offlaner (usually a tank) The only problem here of course is that, even though these comparisons are obvious, something's missing!

  • ReflectedPoj Anthony (@ReflectedPoj) reported

    No lie, i have such a problem right now with Overwatch. All i have thought about is playing it for the past week and a half.

  • Diekaiju Patrick Dee (@Diekaiju) reported

    @kuangrf I’ve had this problem on occasion, some games worse than others. I’ve found the more realistic looking games like CoD or Csgo to be an issue but can play the brighter, more cartoonish Overwatch for hours and feel just fine.

  • rrockyplays rocky ⛄️ (@rrockyplays) reported

    is overwatch down for anyone else or is it just me? i keep getting a login error every time it tries to connect (i’m playing on switch)

  • HylianTimelord Joshua (@HylianTimelord) reported

    I want to play some Overwatch tonight, but I just took some NyQuil because I have the early stages of a cold and I don't need that trouble right now. I will play tomorrow or Friday.

  • Zelarkian Burton Errny (@Zelarkian) reported

    ATLA, Genshin, IT, Dragon Age, (previously) Overwatch. Some I def criticize more than others, but I am very aware that they all have their issues. Honestly i think i actually whole heartedly enjoy the things i DONT hyperfixate on more.

  • Jupiterjepsen *Jepsen Holiday name here* (@Jupiterjepsen) reported

    I am super super happy with the fact I bought an ethernet cable. Could do with being 2 metres longer as I did have to rearrange my desk and move my ps4 to make room but I could actually stream Overwatch at 720p and have no lag whatsoever.

  • ROHIN072 Rohin (@ROHIN072) reported

    @ALK4L1NE obviously do this after confirming its not an overwatch specific issue

  • hobbesbing Hobbes (@hobbesbing) reported

    @JustNatanel Sig's not that broken. But they've been patching him routinely for a year and failed to balance him. Thats just embarrassing. Like melees a 19 year old game that's never had a balance patch and it's still got a healthier meta than overwatch with it's biweekly patches

  • SkylarBartz2 sky (sick with bad cramps) (@SkylarBartz2) reported

    @BlizzardCS overwatch and when I'm in a game for a couple minutes and hours or so then after it says disconnected cuz of bad internet it does it every night i try to play a game but every time it disconnects me it's annoying and error something has an error code when I'm disconnected

  • Z_markyTV Zmarkyy (@Z_markyTV) reported

    Man I love Warzone but these past few days its been killing my vibe. Might have to download Fortnite or move to Overwatch until they fix this game.

  • ellieoftheveil Ellieoftheveil, snackgoblin (@ellieoftheveil) reported

    @kuangrf Overwatch was the first fps I didn't have this problem with.

  • hobbesbing Hobbes (@hobbesbing) reported

    @_nakku They play overwatch they probably want it to crash

  • _Zurilia Zurilia (@_Zurilia) reported

    It's no wonder Star Wars Squadrons has player base issues. The rank system is worse than Overwatch and it's a game that's dominated by an elite few while the majority is just flying target practice. Unless you play with 5 friends your matches are bound to be loss after loss.

  • ElectroLightEDM Electro-Light (@ElectroLightEDM) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent so I love overwatch, great game, but just had a guy openly admit to smurfing cause he is sick of the smurfs at his rank. Its a problem through every rank in the game and its ruining every players experience so why ignore it and let the game die?

  • Swagtag245 Claudette Morel (@Swagtag245) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Help me. Everytime i click go online in battle net it cannot go online help me fix it i need to get the roadhog skin pls🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I cannot play overwatch with this problem

  • _Sub_Sandwich_ SubbyBoi (@_Sub_Sandwich_) reported

    So may I bring up the big question once again? Are we just constantly coming back to Overwatch because its a game that is just on the edge of being great, but isn't because of a few glaring problems, or is it just addiction? Mayhaps League players can weigh in just a bit too?

  • ScrollWasTaken Resident Boomer Cringe (@ScrollWasTaken) reported

    of the good heroes do not take a large amount of skill. This could be either mechanically, or tactically, but they are always lacking in one of them (or in characters like Brig's case, both xd) Overwatch has a problem that I see a lot of popular games have nowadays, which is if

  • MayorKaylen Kaylen 🤶🏻🎄🎁 (@MayorKaylen) reported

    Okay so a couple days ago my switch started acting screwy. Like, all of a sudden it’s pinging super high (999) and glitching/lagging on online games and now it kicked me from an Overwatch game bc it completely disconnected from the internet? What the heck? Also! (Continued)

  • hidytxt 🎄hidy ☃️ (@hidytxt) reported

    overwatch doesnt crash so its not like its every game :| its just yakuza :| stop crashing ichiban i need to experience the ending MYSELF

  • WhispitheWisp Whispi the Wisp ❄️ (@WhispitheWisp) reported

    Hey @PlayOverwatch, my game just encountered an unexpected error and completely crashed mid capture map? #playoverwatch #Overwatch

  • Jamrockjay921 Jamrockjay92 (@Jamrockjay921) reported

    So I downloaded overwatch to play with my wife so she would have someone to play with. But now I think I might have a problem.

  • painterskies ness ✨🏳️‍🌈 @ YAKUZA 7!!! (@painterskies) reported

    the internet at the apartment im staying at with my parents isn’t bad but it’s making playing overwatch almost impossible because of the lag spikes every minute or so :-)

  • blackfatty98 RC_Blackfatty98 (@blackfatty98) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Dear blizzard I’m a overwatch player. And I’m Chinese. I like to watch overwatch live stream on Chinese app. And I found a serious problem, NTES run overwatch in China. But they don’t care about the cheating behavior. They customer service is also sucks.

  • ItHUrtsLikeH3l MrBubblTrousers (@ItHUrtsLikeH3l) reported

    @SamitoFPS Being real. I would consider playing more. The game has been stagnant for a minute then they finally fix it. The revert the fixes. I’m playing other games because overwatch is no longer fun

  • SeraphMedic 𝓣𝓲𝓷𝔂 ʚ ᗢ ɞ H I A T U S (@SeraphMedic) reported

    the only way to play overwatch is duoing with a dps player and pocketing them cause solo queue is just not working fam

  • AllRacesLover Korosaki (@AllRacesLover) reported

  • OrdinaryBiscuit 🍪Ordinary Biscuit🍪 (@OrdinaryBiscuit) reported
