@StreifelLuke @NyanSox I’m not. I’m complimenting Overwatch 2. It’s a new, better game. They fixed almost all my main issues with OW1, and I like 5v5 more than I expected.

@MarcoStyleNL @SirDimetrious Strict rock paper scissors balancing killed overwatch for me. Its slowly killing destiny, atleast in OW you can switch your kit without being punished too hard. It's not even like they have it down in PvE either; both game types are suffering from the exact same issues.

Wanted to go to bed earlier but was having so much fun playing OW2.. was about 45 mins of “OK, this is absolutely my last round” before I logged off.. Tanking is so fun, new maps are great, reworks solved a lot of problems! Great game so far! #Overwatch

Last night my addiction to overwatch formed again, problem is playing ranked feels impossible to get a win. 3 wins out of 10 placements is a joke, shouldn’t be a support getting the most kills and damage while also getting the most healing. What else can I expect though.

i’m absolutely loving overwatch 2 so far, but mercy is kinda unplayable with the valkyrie bug. i really hope they fix it soon because apart from that it’s soooo good

@WightDwight @NateDawgBrony01 @DAWGTHISUMBRA This is also ignoring the shakeup that removing a Tank actually is towards making the game far more engaging for casual players, a key issue given how Overwatch 1's biggest problem was that it was effective: Q spam to win, and if you're coordinated win harder.

was talking to Quinn there other and figured out he to fix overwatch. 1. add licensed characters like fortnight does, like walter white throwing healing **** crystals or tony soprano driving his caddy to break through 2. give monke a sword

Sat in an overwatch comp queue half my team got disconnected due to server errors, so the enemy team decided to let us draw instead. .

Now about Overwatch 2 since I've finally tried it: ngl I feel underwhelmed, it's a bit disappointing, I feel like it's really centered around DPS and they're really strong, almost broken overall.

@Halo Give HALO to ID Software or any of the CoD teams. They can fix this IP from the shitshow that its now. Or only leave it as a Single Player Story driven franchise. Overwatch 2, Splatoon 3 and MW2 will be the death of Halo Infinite.

@JoshGamnChannel This is good tor the games like Spyro and crash? While I had played Overwatch ((why the game is 30 quid for the base game I don’t know…) there still fans of the games. So hope micosoft can care for then?

I am curious to see if others have been having this issue, but me and a friend have been finding that mouse movements in Overwatch 1 seem to be a lot smoother than in Overwatch 2 and is making aiming feel a bit weird. Any ideas @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch2

(@strawdog2424) reported
@ttvAaerion @Hai The problem they complain overwatch 2 is the same as overwatch 1 but if you did make Overwatch 2 an entirely different game people would complain because that’s not overwatch. It’s like saying Mario 2 is just more levels and nothing has changed. That’s Mario’s gameplay.

@ChaoticaCrisis Overwatch is the main cause of my anger issues at one point LMAO the game was just designed to be super annoying

@My360Suckssss @msmills22 @Doublelift1 OW2 PvP is free if you own OW1 the only thing you get from buying overwatch 2 is basically a story mode essentially the problem is how blizzard have called this overwatch 2 when it’s clearly just an expansion/DLC

Some people really think they're roasting the Overwatch devs by pointing out problems in the beta. ***** that's what a beta is for lmao

@TheGreatZambon1 @haloofthoughts Paladins issue isn't 5v5 though. Paladins has poor servers, a tiny team working on it in comparison to Overwatch and a smaller fan base that leads to very unbalanced games. It's not a 5v5 thing for Paladins, it's a lack of money from Hi-Rez for Paladins

Had sudden flashbacks to Hanzo Overwatch where I would literally just get bored and change classes because his arrows let me just kill everyone no problem at any range No idea why blizzard ever thought he was a good idea that man broke the game

@its_natclayton I just think if I'm really to believe that live service storytelling is worth anything over just playing curated narrative games, I need so much more than what Overwatch is giving. Even if I have my qualms with the style, the serial tv show method Apex has just works best.

@colbyley1 @Hai to be honest, overwatch had no reason to do this, they ruined the balance of the game itself by listening to every possible complaint and applying most, it would only take a big patch or two to fix...but league of legends needs this, it's way out of date.

@Stewy497 @Rapscallion_Art We can't have nice things because idiots who don't know how it works will just complain that it's broken, hence all of the "fixes" overwatch got.

@fast3ddy88 Real talk there really isn't much difference, it's overwatch 5v5 instead of 6v6 except it's a lot easier to kill, and a new game mode. Also new hero broken

@dilvcify and, just like overwatch, genshin will die either a horrible death and be overshadowed by an actually well-designed successor OR!! HOYOVERSE will pull their head out of their asses and fix some of the problems with the game

@OW_ICED If you think overwatch 1 and overwatch 2 are the same game with the same graphics then you are the problem.

Btw, Overwatch is still a great game. That was never the problem. The problem was the lack of updates which led to stale metas. Devs gotta turn that mindset into a grindset.
