  • AtreidesRon RonPaulAtreides (@AtreidesRon) reported

    @mightbemayoo Asking for trouble with this one :/ the overwatch simps are ******* loko just scroll down on that post to see very lovely tho

  • Walboro Walboro (@Walboro) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch I got the halloween terror 2021 profile pic in a lootbox. No offence but that’s 100% of the time gonna be a duplicate cause everyone gets it just for having overwatch. This junkensein’s revenge glitch happened in the anniversary event too but nobody got back to me about it.

  • SaaimWahid Saaim (@SaaimWahid) reported

    Overwatch needs to learn to differentiate between someone quitting a match and getting kicked out because of connectivity issues because I’m losing 50 SR for something that is my PS4’s fault. 🥲

  • RangerTwT Ranger (@RangerTwT) reported

    @cesar_schumann @DevynMcDonald2 @AquamarineOW Well junkrat is one of my most played characters in overwatch, and I finished around top 270+ last season so I can safely say that it is extremely difficult to get any value with tire. And yes droptire is broken, but so is super jump due to reasons i stated earlier.

  • JakeParkerLIVE Jake Parker, M.Ed (@JakeParkerLIVE) reported

    Dropped from silver to bronze in Overwatch because stupid randos decide to either AFK the entire match, feed the enemy team, disconnect from the match, or refuse to play objective at all. Actually frustrating.

  • Alexman_47 Alexman (@Alexman_47) reported

    Junkenstien is unplayable, with 1 hour of streaming of it, each match crashed mid round, and when I was allowed to reconnect, I respawned and died to the bosses along with everyone else. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. This crash happens every year. #activisionblizzard #Overwatch

  • salty_troll Salty Troll (@salty_troll) reported

    @MatiasHOe @BlizzardCSEU_EN They won’t fix anything, they will drop something new and shiny and call it an update. We will still have the same problems. Look at WoW (a buggy garbage mess) overwatch( same) hearthstone( unbalanced garbage) maybe it’s time to tach blizzard by not buying their trash anymore

  • DARKDUME ⎝꧁꧂ ⎠DUM💀E85⎝꧁꧂ ⎠ (@DARKDUME) reported

    @bobposting the real problem here is overwatch on console not how close she is.

  • cycIehit ً (@cycIehit) reported

    @sadboyjefflmao fix it to wake up earlier to queue up overwatch comp

  • spacecowboy1138 ElmerP (@spacecowboy1138) reported

    @BluDYT @goochhandler @pcgamer I enjoyed most of what I played. I think my main issue is the class/character changes. I don't know if I like these character driven classes like Overwatch and R6 Siege.

  • Fozan115 Someone (@Fozan115) reported

    @ImADuckQuackk My guess is if the same glitch happend in a game like overwatch no one would care

  • Burn_n_learn Mark (@Burn_n_learn) reported

    @BlizzardCS **** overwatch. Fix D2R or offer a refund to console players, by monday. Pretty simple. #refundd2r

  • Williamhiggs69 William Higgins (@Williamhiggs69) reported

    @BlizzardCS Theirs this bug in overwatch where my healer gets put with teams of ******* retarded players please fix that **** I was 2200 yesterday

  • SWenerski Szymon Wenerski (@SWenerski) reported

    The problem with Double Control Point in Overwatch was not that this mode/maps were bad for the game. It was deffinitely most boring mode in PvP.

  • HS_Orange Jon Westberg🍊 (@HS_Orange) reported

    @Spex_J @Celestalon And I can't believe the rise of Shanghai Dragons lately in Overwatch-league, it feels like yesterday when they went 0-42. But guess it has been some time since GOAT's and lots of things has changed since. Always at your service to make the timeline even more confusing 😎

  • YogaMatt66 LookHoneyAnAbominationTTV (@YogaMatt66) reported

    @Gergalerg Apparently it is, but like overwatch is the main company/game where the problem lies??? Or some ****, it’s weird

  • ScorchCakeTM Red Velvet Sounds Cool - 🏳️‍⚧️ (@ScorchCakeTM) reported

    My problem with Apex rn is the same problem I have with Overwatch I can’t have fun because randoms tryhard so much but I have no friends to play with so like 😞

  • starriecow Starrie Cow (@starriecow) reported

    Why all these dps cry about someone not dying or giving them problems in #Overwatch... It's literally your job to kill so get to it.

  • winstonCOCK Winston spookycock (@winstonCOCK) reported

    I feel like the overwatch team are that one student in the class that shout "MY CODE'S BROKEN MAN" but stay on their phones instead of actually fixing it.

  • IdolShoujo trish! (@IdolShoujo) reported

    @velithrana overwatch gave me anger issues idk what ur talking about

  • Jusey1z Salju (@Jusey1z) reported

    @Corvus_Jenova @zgf2022 @Wuner301 The problem is that it's a good thing when the game works. Overwatch doesn't work competitively, only casually. A lot this has to do with core mechanics, such as hero switching (hero switching is a bad idea for a game like this).

  • Calum15871298 Calum (@Calum15871298) reported

    @HoshizoraOW Everyone I know who plays 'normally' i.e. turns off the moment they get bored still loves the game. It's like imagine if you watched your fave film over and over, you'd grow to hate it, same thing. The problem isn't overwatch, it's streaming it 12 hour a day, ofc you dislike it.

  • S41TH4M Smaytham 🇧🇪 (@S41TH4M) reported

    I might actually be a *********. I keep playing Overwatch as a support. I don't care how many people tell me Ana's kit is OP or that Bap's immortality field is broken. Try playing support and see how long you last, getting dunked by Doomfist, getting slashed by Genji and so on.

  • pandoras_foxo NEO: demonfox hackerwitches wife (@pandoras_foxo) reported

    @Ari_The_Mare I mean the literal only two games I have had issue with are overwatch and paladins lol

  • Maskenhaft Maskenhaft (@Maskenhaft) reported

    @Swindyyyy I think paladins has the problem like overwatch. it evolves but also doesn't evolves, I hope you know what I want to say. And currently Hero-Shooter are not really in the market sadly

  • DARKDUME ⎝꧁꧂ ⎠DUM💀E85⎝꧁꧂ ⎠ (@DARKDUME) reported

    @bobposting to be clear both overwatch and the console are a problem.

  • IceCutioner 🦇 𝙄𝙘𝙚《零下》🦇 (@IceCutioner) reported

    Is mk11 servers down? Also thinking of uninstalling overwatch so I can download INJ2 lol

  • kaylynn_sage SORA? IN SMASH? IT'S MORE LIKELY THAN YOU THINK🗝️ (@kaylynn_sage) reported

    anyone else experiencing a bug where you don't hear the audio cue for mercy's valk ending? overwatch please, there's always a problem with your new patches xD

  • Grifdy Grifdy (@Grifdy) reported

    @iluvtitt Your first issue was "overwatch"

  • FERVENTALON ‍‍‍ ‍‍‍ ♕ ‘゚ 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 。 ‍‍‍ (@FERVENTALON) reported

    // the issue itself was NOT in the anime verse or any other verse outside of overwatch . its been handled , genuinely .
