    @x_saladtea_x @PlayOverwatch It's the balancing that's the issue with this game. Season 1 and 2 was the best. Don't blame your friend if I had started Overwatch now instead of when it came out I'd want a refund. The balancing team is horrible and they've made it enjoyable.

  • sebscuddlesx ♕Char♕ •Save the Society• (@sebscuddlesx) reported

    Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble with the overwatch servers at the moment? Had at least 2 people ‘leave’ in each game I’ve played so far(about 4 games)including being kicked myself from a game which caused me to receive a loss and ban.Not the best start to season 27

  • TheDragonFabled Fable (@TheDragonFabled) reported

    @Whitestripe99 @ShammyTV Fundamental issues are the same. Overwatch won't be significantly fixed anytime soon and Paladins just keeps adding buggy albeit fun champions. That's just a bandaid though and it doesn't fix anything else in the game.

  • TeriosGaming Cliff (@TeriosGaming) reported

    technical issues forced me to take a break from Overwatch to the point where I am actually kind of excited to play it again

  • BottlecapCried 💫Hypnos Fanclubs Horniest Members💫 (@BottlecapCried) reported

  • r3an1mated Mladen Bogdan (@r3an1mated) reported

    @YoanMerlo Some people decided to earn money from selling smurfs, and yes.. that problem does last long. They did add suspicious behaviour screening and overwatch system and a lot more, but there's always smurfs slipping under the radar. Ps. Folks, do your overwatch

  • Vike11080600 Vike (@Vike11080600) reported

    @koviati14 @LowkoTV Valheim is a cool new game in early access. Only $20. Been giving me something to play while blizzardvisions games are dying (Starcraft 2), broken (cold war servers/optimization), or just not fun anymore (overwatch/ world of Warcraft.)

  • LeBanMn Love is LeMn (@LeBanMn) reported

    @KaizokuSeleo Overwatch pissed me off, not because of the people I played with or against but because of how broken the ranked system. I placed Silver during season 2 because I wasn’t good, then later in like season 8 when I’m actually skilled I won all 10 matches and still got silver

  • biggestsonicfan SaltyFreeman (@biggestsonicfan) reported

    New comp season started in Overwatch. Surprise surprise, no crash on my first game on my old account. The fact it ever froze at all after my reformat makes me think someone's deliberately attacking me...

  • aBabyOW aBabyOW (@aBabyOW) reported

    Mccree is such a ******* broken hero I might end up having to take a break from Overwatch. With the state that hero is in the game is invariably unplayable for me and I am having little to no fun whatsoever.

  • JonathonStryker Tyler Gavinski (@JonathonStryker) reported

    @NoxGael @TitanfallBlog Yeah... Eventually. "Caustic buff coming in Season 12." Gee, I can't wait... Sounds like the OverWatch philosophy, man. "Dumpster a character now and we'll fix it later... Maybe... If we feel it. You know what, forget it, let's just nerf them again for good measure."

  • bugz4bathsaltz semara (@bugz4bathsaltz) reported

    Is there an issue with the servers on overwatch right now? It keeps kicking me out on PS4 @BlizzardCS

  • Yourbuddy27 YourBuddy (@Yourbuddy27) reported

    Been having a problem with @Overwatch for a while about stuttering or FPS drops. I did everything i could turns out it was my Nivida driver. Installed one from last year and boom my issue is gone. This is to anyone having issues and has a Nivida card try a older driver

  • Marshmoo_exe Marshmoo (@Marshmoo_exe) reported

    @Mr_iKeepitreal Oh so the same issue I had with Overwatch port. Got it

  • von_Schappler von Schappler (@von_Schappler) reported

    @BlizzardCS Is this also affecting Overwatch? I am unable to log in to the servers... Any ETA on a fix?

  • DSGWho DSG♦️ (@DSGWho) reported

    The only thing that will convince me to come back to the game is to fix these broken abilities that counters everything by existing without any counterplay. Not only that, overwatch 2 better be a banger. Until then, goodbye overwatch, I hope you and the toxins die in a fire

  • photonprojector ♡ J ♡ u ♡ n ♡ o ♡ (@photonprojector) reported

    there's so many nerdy tattoos i want too i'd love to get one of the bag end door and isildur's broken sword, i'd definitely get some dinosaur tattoos bc i've loved jurassic park since i was like 3, probably something overwatch but i don't want anything tacky so idk what

  • soondubie Soondubie ✨ (@soondubie) reported

    Okay I need to know, is anyone else having server disconnects while playing comp in Overwatch? It happened twice and now I'm suspended twice in the row so I can't really play comp until they fix this bug. It's utterly disappointing.
