    Live Service games should exist it's just that not everything being released should try and be one. Rainbow Six Siege, Overwatch 2, Destiny 2, any MMO out there, and the three big Battle Royale titles are the only ones left standing because they have the funding to do so.

    First you, you refuse to transfer or solve my issue of giving me back all of my skins that I played hours on your game to obtain, and now gaslighting me OUT OF $10??? You already stole about 44 skins from me, most of them now worth $1500 Overwatch Coins = $66,000 USD Dlls.

    @lovetodeath666 @PlayOverwatch Actually, i remember like fixing overwatch league skins drop problem (which i was a part of like i wanted so bad that classy white gloves on kiriko skin) that took like a month to fix.... So idk honestly if they will manage to something just for such a unlucky ****** like me

    @OW_SVB This was a problem since overwatch started. Do we not remember everyone calling people who climbed boosted? This is not new.

    The implementation of the Overwatch tank nerfs is hilariously bad. Why does it not scale with the number of tanks in play? It just forces you to stack tanks when you might want to run a traditional single tank comp in open queue modes, which makes the tank stacking problem worse

    This is the prophecy foretold, Me getting banned from season 3 of overwatch for being ddos’d multiple times in a row

    @BlizzardCS I need help regarding an issue with overwatch account merging, lost several thousand dollars worth of cosmetics. Urgency would be appreciated.

    @ertrick36 @xaviersonline I have no idea how people fall into addiction of live service games that only retain relevance because they’re on a constant drip of content from a reluctant dev team. Modern live service games make me sick (apart from Overwatch ily)

    Having some issues with my d key. Mainly noticeable during Overwatch causing me issues with dodging/strafing. If I take the keycap off (I did to clean, in case it was that) it works fine. As soon as I put the cap back... ugh...

    I hate the Overwatch 2 matchmaking system so much. Get rolled one game, then stomp the next game, makes no sense at all. Fix this @PlayOverwatch

    My Overwatch 2 crashing issue is back. Sigh

  • A_wild_torterra

    @AcidQueenOW Another issue is half the players didn’t care about overwatch 1 anymore for the last 2ish years of the game. More people care about rank in ow2 so there’s less throwing.

  • wahMarsh
    Marsh (@wahMarsh) reported

    @TimeGear_ Wasn’t the point that people pick and choose which controversy they want to make a big deal about? Like he mentions overwatch 2 which didn’t have basically any controversy when it released despite the issues actually being with the devs and not just one person who’s the creator

  • AccurstMaiden
    Valeria (@AccurstMaiden) reported

    @Requis_Johnson4 @FalKoopa_ That is not the point The problem is that hes going on making exaggerated jokes that every game is bad because twitter said so, and how hes getting "cancelled" Rather than researching the vastly different reasons why people don't like harry pooter and overwatch

    Gotta try the S-tier characters in Overwatch 2 I knew Kiriko Was fuckimg broken!

    A friend is trying to download Overwatch by itself and even Battle Net. Her browser keeps saying Download failed, how do we fix that

    @PlayOverwatch can we fix the sensitivity issue please? I thought it would’ve been fixed by now… #Overwatch #Overwatch2

    @ElHefeonTwitch @Haipa_Sonikku @fightstickart Thats a lie and you know it, csgo plays extremely diferent to overwatch or cod, and the skill gap is still the same issue as in fighting games or mobas. You either find it fun or dont. Just say "i dont like mobas/fighting games" you dont have to come up with a nonsensical reason.

    @animegirlcaesar @EuphoriTori Every day I’m glad I turned voice chat off when I started Overwatch lol. Someone could be yelling at me but that’s their issue not mine.

    How tf do you fix your Xbox not recognising your Game Pass subscription?? Pls help. If I can't get this to work again then my Series S is just an Overwatch machine 💀

    Brian (@_primey) reported

    Why does Blizzard Support need a screenshot of HWMonitor when Overwatch 2 crashes. That's not going to show anything important relating to my type of crash. Idiots

  • Mixer_Kraken
    Mixer (@Mixer_Kraken) reported

    Hmm... Do I grind out my main and ditch streaming Overwatch until I can fix my issues in OBS? Or do I say "I played nearly 20 hours of Overwatch this week between Comp and Scrims alone (including Queues), let me play another RPG for a bit on Stream."

    apocalypse1280 (@Toppo2099) reported

    @MissMANIA30 LMAO! That's a good one. Overwatch 2 doesn't have a problem. Like it's ridiculous. It's always hot or miss with Switch lol, but the game was perfect the past few months. Just annoying.

    @OW_SVB Issue is, overwatch 2 took so long to one out, I didn’t put the time to rank up in overwatch 1 because I was waiting for the second game, never took the first one seriously. In overwatch two I started blaming myself for every loss even if it wasn’t my fault, just so I improved.
