    @Hoopahoa @ATPOverwatch I am aware of the issues… and yet, to the average consumer, no one cares. They see Valorant with 16 teams on LAN and Overwatch in a multipurpose room

  • bloomImpression Coryn (@bloomImpression) reported

  • Saturn_GZ 🌺Saturn | VtuberEN | New Avatar Debut Coming!🌺 (@Saturn_GZ) reported

    Having technical issues with Minecraft switching to Overwatch. ;-;

  • guszulrus GUSZULRUS ATDAYBREAK (@guszulrus) reported

    @MldGhost @JustAnLED @Nibellion no one mocking the live service game. imagine if Apex is Warzone Overwatch from MS stu... no one mocking it because it's looking good. and MLB is actually a live service game... any mocking is going to the low-quality product. at least the looks of it.

  • sicsyde Sicsyde (@sicsyde) reported

    I will say Overwatch 2 is growing on me. The biggest issue I have are the groups I've been in. I'm not the greatest player, far from it. But if your team has no communication whatsoever, things get chaotic really fast and it's just not fun.

  • slenderstuck Destiny (@slenderstuck) reported

    @BlizzardCS Bro I can't login to Overwatch what's the deal? Keeps saying I lost connection to server.

  • laqwa88 Laqwa88 (@laqwa88) reported

    @Jibanyan_SA @WarnTV Because they want to keep their product alive, hence why they are making streamers to stream under the overwatch category not overwatch 2. Now why would that be? Would it be because OW2 has low viewership? Blizzard needs to crash and burn after the latest stunts.

  • OG__Pure Guy who made that Hanzo video (@OG__Pure) reported

    Anybody getting a “lost connection to game server” error, with a prompt to login on Overwatch 1 and the beta?

  • AYearAndOneDay Veronica💙💕 (@AYearAndOneDay) reported

    14 hours of Overwatch a day is simply not enough to distract from my problems anymore

  • CrusadeDemon Crusade |👹Demon VTuber☄️ (@CrusadeDemon) reported

    Sorry for the constant crashing at the end of the stream today ): I'm not sure what was happening since I've streamed overwatch before and have had no problems. I'll try to figure out what it was and fix it for next time. Other than that thank you guys so much for being patient♥

  • peperpal P3-PER 🤖 Robo-Vtuber! (@peperpal) reported

    I think I fixed my computer but I am not sure, so I will do a test stream later today, probably just some overwatch to see if the issues have gone away. I also figured out Vtube Studio, so I can do some cool new stuff!

    @PlayOverwatch Bro I can't login to Overwatch what's the deal? Keeps saying I lost connection to server.

  • imfaggrip ☣︎ (@imfaggrip) reported

    trying to grind on overwatch is sooo pointless that game is soooo broken in solo q lmfaooopls I need october to be here STAT

  • MrGosh82 MrGosh (@MrGosh82) reported

    @rare_fanatic They aren't going to take away stuff with a base and COD and seeing as Overwatch is being replaced by 2 makes sense who knows with 3 Spiro and Crash I expect to be exclusive

  • MollMusik hatecorefrenchfrieseating 🥦 (@MollMusik) reported

    @Frittnschranke @battlenet Thanks, having the same problem. Weird how noone else writes this. Took me multiple restarts to even login to Overwatch, then it didn't join the match and I got a suspension for "leaving". Classic humor...

  • luxiie_ lux 🦄 (@luxiie_) reported

    nope, all my hardware's up to date... so it must be an overwatch thing?? our internet issues have since been resolved so it isn't that either!!

  • slenderstuck Destiny (@slenderstuck) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Twitch Bro I can't login to Overwatch what's the deal? Keeps saying I lost connection to server.

  • ACofern Chapolin Jrpg (@ACofern) reported

    @tanjounokamioku My main issue is Overwatch in the same list as Red Dead Redemption 2... The latter is so superior it's not even funny

  • lustfulover ivy (@lustfulover) reported

    does anyone wanna play w me in val , csgo , overwatch , or apex :0 i suck at a bunch but yeah !! it would pretty much be a service but more sfw and fun !! :>

  • GreatGuyNick nuh “broke" fork (@GreatGuyNick) reported

    @jpedro274_ @Crimzo League? Any global esport? Also why is China the problem here, they aren't an Overwatch exclusive region in esports Quarantine was dropped in SK, and there's is plenty of arenas to rent out (Korean lan would've been cool)

  • KatsMommyMilkrs Kat 💕 (@KatsMommyMilkrs) reported

    holy ****, just accidentally went to the overwatch side of twitter, goddamn they have issues....

  • imaginedraugrs sam ⛰ (@imaginedraugrs) reported

    ngl overwatch is the worst it has been with the smurf problem as of recent :/ every match has at least 3+ smurfs and they keep being matched against new players who don‘t got a clue how to play ow. having a real great experience rn!!!!!

  • MakingSomeTea Harry (@MakingSomeTea) reported

    @panthero44 You know how broken Bastion was on launch of Overwatch 1? Well that’s about to happen again.

  • TantricTurds Cosmonaut_Jeff (@TantricTurds) reported

    @chng_raymond I dont know why Overwatch loot boxes are always used as visual examples for these issues. OW never made them have any effect on the game, all have been cosmetic and all earn-able with 100% in game points. OW was never been predatory with this mechanic. EA was the worst.

  • DeezNumgers FunniMan (@DeezNumgers) reported

    @Micahhatesmen @Fvas__ @HoshizoraOW That's literally his name Just because they feel like trying to run away from their problems doesn't mean I ahvw to accept it. And I can tell you allot of people in the overwatch community don't accept themselves lol
