@Ahabs_Mind Overwatch went from "hey it's TF2 with a bunch of wild wacky character classes, yea it's kinda unbalanced but who cares" to "shooting at shields simulator 2k20" bc balancing games around ppl who play league of legends is asking for trouble

You know today isn't an Overwatch when you get a power outage that lasts three seconds just as the Comp match starts.

@GreedyReturns Yeah that’s exactly what’s happening to me but, I’m getting no packet loss not lagging in parties and my Spotify doesn’t stop, phone doesn’t do etc so I think it’s overwatch

@XanderXCIV @WattsonTano @alphaINTEL Because he hadn't had a comic wherein it would've made sense like tracer had? Surely you'd have more of an issue if, mid backstory for Overwatch, soldier were to say 'oh yeah, by the way, i'm gay' instead of revealing it in a later comic during a conversation where it made sense?

@Blizzard_Ent I am experiencing alot of technical issues in Overwatch. I'm from Europe & when play as any hero, they freeze in place during the start of the match/at random and cannot move from the spot. It then loads and either sends me to the spawn point or back to the menu.

All I know is, releasing a very generic, formuleic looking shooter as your next big launch on a service nobody uses or wants to use, is probably not going to reel in a lot of sales. You can just play Valorant or CSGO or if you're desperate even Overwatch. Or actually, R6 Siege.

@bowsber2010 @WattsonTano @alphaINTEL Wouldnt have made sense? Its Overwatch's lore. I wouldnt have had an issue if they said something when the game was new like they did with Tracer. Just be honest about it if that was always the plan.

@SophNar0747 they're just making-up **** nowaday i'd be surprised you find anyone who even had a problem with soldier-76 back in the day so if no-one is gonna get angry at overwatch of all *******-things, who the hell is gonna get angry at this game no-one even plays anymore?

Compared, games like Overwatch or Valorant run absolutely flawless. They don't have these bugs. Apex feels almost like Warzone in terms of general input lag feel. But with admin mode and g-sync properly set up with RTSS it actually feels good, OBS or not.

@NeptuneeOW @TheMasterKrook Blackwatch I'd a subsection of Overwatch, so they fall under the same issues as overwatch. The junkers seem to be okay with stealing and shady dealings all around

Alright this LC-202 Overwatch error seems to be affecting enough players that you can find other people who ALSO can't solve it online pretty easily, but not enough for Blizz or Sony to actually. Do anything about it.

Why do the Overwatch devs think that pouring all their ressources into a sequel of a game that has been dying for 5 years is going to save everything? Neglecting the 1st game is the biggest issue there is.

@DeadByBHVR Please fix your game. Ever since the latest chapter the ping for Middle East is now 160-180 and sometimes even more. This is not the first time. It’s very annoying!!!! In 5 years, do you know how many problems I had playing Overwatch after any update? Zero!!!

@Jorraptor @Elites_Academy It's not f2p problem, honestly who wants to play mobile games? Invest heavy in good talents and game will be good. Not this xdefiance... whatever garbage!! I can guarantee you most of division or tom clancy players dont want to play ubisoft version of overwatch. And that's fact

@lindawgtwitch Plays ranked overwatch (Mercy) but only for fun, doesn't "really care if they win." Never uses mic. Lots of anti depressants / anti pyschotics. Trust issues. 24 and doesn't have a license.
