    @yourmothersrear @ItsSomjuu @SimberOTP been playing since season 9 of overwatch 1 lmao it’s definitely not a skill issue. Push gets boring.

    @PlayOverwatch Your matchmaking in comp is so messed up, our team just got a low silver in a plat game, if you don't fix this for season 2 then me and many other players will stop playing just like we did in overwatch 1

  • NederlandseBal
    Pee Pee Poo Poo Man (@NederlandseBal) reported

    @Kai1ronic @PlayOverwatch The problem with this is that Overwatch has hero switching and thus a lot of the heroes were designed with this in mind. If you're playing a hero who can't deal with an enemy hero you can switch to one that can. Locking them behind the battle pass breaks this model.

    My body doesnt seem to work with me these last 2 days, but I did some adjustments and have plans on how to probably fix lag on overwatch streams, not sure about stream today, but I will try to update everyday until friday (if nothing that means I am resting to heal up!)

    Overwatch 2 is a fun game but like, the monetization problem bothers me so much, I hate battle passes. “Oh but you don’t have to buy” “Aw but they have a super detailed legendary skin at the end” are you really buying a whole pass with some questionable **** for 1 skin?

    After all the screenshots I've seen, looks like Blizzard support says all the drops have already been delivered for Overwatch League. CS also can't 'verify eligibility and cannot assist with the issue'. In other words demanding them on tweets ain't gonna help. If you got some+

    @gingerly363 I am working or I should say volunteering my time as a religious OverWatch. What this means is I go to religious places that are having troubles and I work to find a solution to resolve the problems this will save lives and even wars.

    Why are people so toxic in overwatch now lol where did these people come from cuss i have never had this problem in ow1 but now? Geezus #Overwatch2

  • 95XMR
    do it for bankroll (@95XMR) reported

    @JuaniOW_Lop @Gale_Adelade No it really doesn't, top down balancing is always the best because the low rank players complain about **** that isn't broken , go on overwatch TikTok they're asking for cass, orisa, and Moira nerfs etc. They have no clue what is actually broken or how to play the game

  • TheHatredDMC
    NeoTricksterZ (@TheHatredDMC) reported

    @JohanzelV This is a massively made-up *********: a good amount of these games aren't coming back because licensing issues to the studios that made some of these being shutdown (and in Overwatch 1's case: servers being shutdown).

    @Gale_Adelade My end goal is to graduate university in Game Design and go to work at Blizzard, somehow get on the Overwatch team, and fix the game I love.

    I miss overwatch 1. People actually cared about that game. I consistently play with pea size brain morons who play 1 low DPS hero and they do less dmg than our Ana and yet someone still defends them. IT IS COMPETITIVE, ITS NOT WORKING WITH YOU AS WIDOW, SWITCH. holy ****

    @OnFireSemmler Of course the guy that delivered the worst commentary in Overwatch is a transphobe. The jokes write themselves. “I don’t understand it but let me impose my bad attitude and opinions on it” -literally you on the mic and this issue Hope you go another year with no cs broadcasts👍

    Activision: Call of Duty, Crash, Spyro, Tony Hawks, etc Blizzard: Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo, Overwatch, etc Bethesda: Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom, Wolfenstein, Starfield, etc Xbox: Halo, SOT, Forza, Gears, Fable, Minecraft,etc PS IP’s cannot compete with all these combined

    Overwatch 2 should fix the leaderboards... There's multiple division 5 diamonds in the top 100. But a division 2/3 (Wich I am) isn't in there? How

    source . diplomatic approaches only work on idiots . not crooked government spearheads . overwatch redux will fail like the original had . why —— ? the problem was never eliminated .

    @ThatDangDavie @JohanzelV All the Call of Duty's, Crash, Spyro, Transformers, Tony Hawk, Skylanders, Geometry Wars, Overwatch, and Sekiro, I know off the top of my head that Activision had a hand in. Now I'm no math genius, but I'm pretty sure that makes up more than half the list here.

    overwatch had kind of a problem with feeling a little sterile but overwatch 2 just feels so utterly joyless

    @goodguyslip I tried recording overwatch without having my model up and it seems to work fine, gonna try to make some changes in settings in vtube studio and try again. It's just weird that if the gpu is the problem, it doesn't show any weird usage problem in task manager

    I know I have a problem when I closed overwatch in preparation for bed and as I was putting away my controller, I thought maybe just a few more games - like ma’am it’s nearly midnight and you have work tomorrow - N O.

    @That_Guy_Negus Despite all the problems the competition is so weak. It’s either CoD or Overwatch but worse

    ✨ Streaming today, Mon Nov 28th at 4:30 pm MST ✨ I’m still tryna figure out my Steam issues atm which is why I haven’t continued RE Village just yet. I know I said Overwatch 2 for today but I may honestly play some Genshin Impact for stream :) Either way, see ya later!

    @John_Blake_1 @DarkSoulBert @IGN Microsoft’s earnings report has already shown that GamePass is profitable. Do you think that GamePass isn’t going to have a massive influx of subscribers after they add some of the largest games to the service? Once COD, Warcraft, and Overwatch come to GP, expect 60M subs minimum

    @chiefsnchop @Activision idk how many times I need to invite you to download and play Overwatch 2... no crashes, no glitches or exploits, no dev errors, max frame rate... and that's not even talking about the A+ gameplay

    pixie 🏳️‍⚧️ RT PINNED PLEASE! (@professorsada) reported

    but the bigoted fanbase + the blizzard workplace harassment issues + the ******* orientalism in overwatch are the reasons i'm not touching that **** *** game by a long shot anymore indefinitely!

    I feel like overwatch is going to be like tekken7… releasing broken new characters which incentivizes players to buy BP since the free way to get it is nearly impossible
