I once again remind people to respect the name change of our cowboy in Overwatch. It sounded like they went through hell to do it and even if it’s a small piece to a big issue, be glad it happened. Don’t be a jerk #Overwatch #ColeCassidy

I love when people use Overwatch to cope, now don't get me wrong, I fully understand if you're having a difficult time in life but taking it out on random people online instead of trying to get better mentally or deal with your problems.. I'll be there to make you feel worse.

I can't wait for Overwatch 2 to stop active development after one year of service because the developers started full force on Overwatch 3

@stygianymph i only find it stupid because they give insane buffs and the chances are actual garbage for even common costumes, coming from like overwatch where skins are purely cosmetic and some can only be gotten through events, the buff is the only real issue

the Overwatch smurfing issue is out of control on console, how is anybody supposed to rank up or know their actual rank if a 10 year old genji one trick who has made 3 accounts, plays one hero and becomes toxic when things are not going their way? FIX IT #overwatch

@thewickedavatar Very interesting setting and lore, has great feeling gameplay but with the most bare bones attempt at an MMO and an infuriating UI. At the end of the day it's got a very similar problem to what Overwatch's lore has but like, for gameplay experience.

@Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch fix your game!!! I lost 50 sr because an “unexpected server error”. I loaded back into overwatch and now it won’t let me join back game while my friends continue to play in the same game. Your game is dying. Fix it so you won’t lose more players

@SuperiorDavidHS @ZeddyHS @PlayHearthstone The problem with that is that kind of rewrite takes a really long time, and usually it means not releasing a lot of new content in the meantime because you have to develop that all twice. Overwatch has been in stasis for 2 years doing that. TES Legends did that and the game died.

The overwatch devs made junkrat unbalancable. His whole “thing” is not having to aim but he does such high damage that he kinda seems like a crutch for bad players. If they nerf him hes trash but they buff him hes broken at almost any level below gm

@TweetsKendra @XboxGamePassUK I know, but I wish I didn't have to get a subscription service at all. I paid $60 for Overwatch but I can't play it unless I get a annual bill for a subscription :/

@AskPlayStation It gave me an error code once or twice but I don't have it unfortunately. It started off with an update for Overwatch getting stuck at "calculating remaining time" on the PS5. I tried deleting it and then prompting the update again but nothing happened. Nothing will download.

Anatomy of #Overwatch 4v4DM - join group - watch as DPS fails miserably - leave when opposing team gets 10 kill advantage If I have to switch to Bastion to carry the team, I'm not the problem

And it’s definitely an issue specifically with Steam games, because I tested it out with Overwatch just now on stream and that popped up right away. All I get is a black screen (no window at all) with Steam games though.

Overwatch is the only live service I can bring myself to play nowadays and thats only since I can play with 3-5 friends consistently, I wonder how the hell I managed to play Destiny so much back in the day

So I was removed from the OW match for inactivity despite the fact I was actively moving and trying to catch up to my team. Another fail on Blizzard's current record. Let's change character names pointlessly and glitch idle timers. GGs #Overwatch

It's actually incredible to me that, amidst all the issues at Blizzard right now, the biggest thing driving me away from Blizzard games lately has been its playerbase. Large amount of trash people playing WoW and anyone who talks about Overwatch online are just as bad.

@_dault @Yakiniku_Party Overwatch does it right. Controller support but no aim assist. If you don't support controller that's a big accessibility issue since some people literally need to use it. It would also be fine to have aim assist literally as strong as they want if we had separate matchmaking

@og_mungo the problem is, hes not hovering 50 percent. He has the LOWEST WINRATE. if the most picked dps hero has the lowest winrate in all of overwatch, then theres an issue. It means hes not able to counter properly
