  • XochimiVtuber Xochimi Of the lake ch. (@XochimiVtuber) reported

    @CariusVTuber People only really use this critique sometimes when its really something people dont get the game!! IF you played Valorant trying to treat it like Cod/Overwatch then call the game trash and critique becuase you don't understand how the games mechanics work. there's a problem!!!

  • davejahvoo hewtee (@davejahvoo) reported

    I always feel scared to play Overwatch on PC. I use controller because I've issues with my hands :(

  • cqtbug chrome (@cqtbug) reported

    @PlayOverwatch can you fix the rank icon bug for console overwatch?

  • wavyfuh wavy (@wavyfuh) reported

  • chefexcellencee Kimchi Kimperson (@chefexcellencee) reported

    @RogueN9 @Flippie_IRL The same problem happens in overwatch, don’t know how to fix it

  • angegreift Angegreift (@angegreift) reported

    @CSGO maybe fix your stupid anti cheat and overwatch

  • Censored_Matteo ♠️ (@Censored_Matteo) reported

    Nothing gets me harder then jumping on Overwatch, getting my **** smeared for like 3 matches in a row, and getting 1 blue and 3 whites for the service.

  • BotWithOpinions Video Game Opinion Bot (@BotWithOpinions) reported

    Mega Man 2 is only cool because it has spears and a terribly designed Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle

  • 1ofmanysouls Souls (TheOneOfManySouls) 🏳️‍🌈 (@1ofmanysouls) reported

    I sure wish I could watch my friends play Overwatch without it trigger my motion sickness issues. I have big sads about this. Seriously. 😭😭

  • spiineona ًkero (@spiineona) reported

    aw i wanna become an overwatch youtuber but when i record **** starts to lag hh

  • HashtagArena Hashtag Arena (@HashtagArena) reported

    wow goats 2 on the overwatch league stream who would have guessed that a short bandaid on the issue instead of addressing how goats was so oppressive leads to the same ******* meta and removing a tank is the same kind of bandaid as role caps

  • RandomMachine1 RandomMachine🏳️‍🌈 (@RandomMachine1) reported

    My biggest issue is the community though. I’m sure not all of them are *****, but I’ve yet to enjoy any of their company. I’d rather be in mid 00’s COD lobbies or a Minecraft stream than overwatch matches. It’s genuinely disgusting and the fact the game is active amazes me.

  • PaulPzombie Paul Tyr (@PaulPzombie) reported

    imagine being blizzard and still having **** servers on #overwatch people still get random packet loss years after launch. it is just you are your new owners @Activision that have these problems. @PlayOverwatch

  • LandofChorin yelling into the void on a daily basis (@LandofChorin) reported

    The problem with waiting until overwatch 2 to get new heroes is I have to sit in suspense until I'm almost inevitably disappointed or delightfully surprised

  • Faker_Jaker FakeJake (@Faker_Jaker) reported

    overwatch 2 rolled out early? i keep getting only 1 tank in my games how to fix

  • arlpls ARL 回 🦊 (@arlpls) reported

    @kiwi_skin i have the same problem. i can’t put down overwatch it’s a disease at this point 🥲

  • loopunderground alex 🌌 (@loopunderground) reported

    huge lag spikes in overwatch too, apparently gaming is off the cards tonight lads

  • Rafvk_ RAF 🔻 (@Rafvk_) reported

    Ey @OverwatchES We have had a rival team going down sr (derank) and even we moving have thrown us out of the game and have taken points. Fix that. Start code: 6EP4ND

  • dylanlukeabela Dylan Luke Abela (@dylanlukeabela) reported

    You know, there are some games that can easily improve their player base if they did these changes, such as: Fortnite - remove building in general Valorant - one life...yeah no Overwatch - Fix rank, like if someone is stuck in the same rank for a year, give an extra multiplier

  • VegaGS_ Vega (@VegaGS_) reported

    @CardboardTier Figure out what is causing me to lag like all hell before I start streaming again. Teleporting randomly in overwatch is painful and lag during a fighting game is a no go.

  • Jusey1z Salju (@Jusey1z) reported

    @TheYakate @llovelyy_ Nope. Overwatch is broken by design and cannot be a well made game. Hero switching just doesn't work and it forces a lot of bad game design to accommodate for it.

  • Rgdraw Guillaume -Rgdraw- (@Rgdraw) reported

    Seems like my luck as transfered onto Overwatch o.o Yesterday I won 7 match in a row and 5 victories in row just right now!! And it's important to note that I'm really bad and I have some crazy lag Something's not right, I'm scared o:

  • ryujin3838 Ryujin3838 (aka Dragon) (@ryujin3838) reported

    I’m so ******* tired of this **** like I’ve spent numerous DAYS trying to figure out what the gd problem is whether it’s my internet Xbox servers Overwatch servers Alex servers my router like whatever is causing this bull **** and I’ve just gotten NOTHING!! Nothing I do works!

  • ai_kanachu ₊˚ˑ Kana ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა♡ (@ai_kanachu) reported

    does people want kana to stream overwatch? wanna fix kana framerate but maybe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • bruhman88898191 bruh man (@bruhman88898191) reported

    @PunishedDelta @NFLcasualking @klobrille I mean it works in overwatch the rest f the game isn’t great but when I played it I never had a problem distinguishing between enemies and friendlies

  • PatHypno44 Patrikin (@PatHypno44) reported

    @snakeysleepy Yeah Overwatch is really fun! I’m definitely going to get back into it once OW 2 comes out. I have my problems with the game and company but overall I still really like it.

  • Medulasa James Blake should cover a Slipknot song (@Medulasa) reported

    @IceboyViolet Yeah, it's like a solid 4 generations of cards old. Most newer laptops tend to have the gtx 16X0 range these days and they far outclass my puny thing. My card ALSO runs Overwatch! Which you always want to run on min settings anyways to reduce any sort of lag/timing issues

  • PaulPzombie Paul Tyr (@PaulPzombie) reported

    and yet another game i come back to after years from it. low and behold, the game has even bigger balance issues then before. way too many characters with shields, too high of damage, reaper having life steal is just plain game breaking, etc. @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch

  • ryujin3838 Ryujin3838 (aka Dragon) (@ryujin3838) reported

    My Xbox has officially become useless. I have had extreme latency issues for the past several days and no matter what I try it doesn’t get fixed, which means I can’t play Overwatch or Apex, my two favorite games! With my loaded accounts full of stuff from years of playing! ****

  • ABELJ11 Abelrt11 (@ABELJ11) reported

    @bradlee_brooks @PIayOverwatch2 The problem is that for 12vs12 you need 24 players, and overwatch does not have them
