    Overwatch players are actually the whinest most pathetic community ever sometimes. They love to whine about non-issues but then when Blizzard adds/changes the thing they were whining about they WHINE MORE. This was Overwatch 1, little less definitely in 2.

    I remember when in Overwatch there were stars on characters, which means the difficulty of playing. And Mei had 3, the maximum difficulty. WHAT ******** OVERWATCH?! WERE YOU SMOKED OR HAD A BRAIN PROBLEM?!

    Everyone jokes that Overwatch 2 has the worst balance in PVP gaming, y'all should see what #ApexLegends has for balance. I'll take broken Heroes over broken legends AND broken guns every day of the week.

    Spending today fixing some video issues I keep having in Overwatch on my gaming pc. If anyone has any suggestions or in-game settings they could share that would help a ton! I'm very clueless about computers all I do is click the mouse

    It would be so sick if @Blizzard_Ent would respond to my support tickets so I can get access back to my overwatch account for the new season just would be so cool if they like responded to it and like helped fix the issue

    @ICVRXS_LIVES @0kbps The valorant anticheat made my computer bluescreen on boot, I thought it was broken before I found out what was causing it. "what if counter-strike was like overwatch" stupid idea go to hell

    *tries to shiny hunt in Violet* Has a miserable time and gets fed up with the insane lag I was getting. *tries competitive Mystery Heroes in Overwatch instead* Encounters a new glitch in which no character models loaded in, so I couldn't see anyone. Bad day today...

    Had to leave my computer at a repair shop a while back and I said that I wanted them to fix the crashing that was always happening when playing overwatch and the guy working went “oh that’s intentional”

    @5uscat @jjjjosh8 @PlayOverwatch Not a bro. And I'm sure you weren't a master from day one. The biggest issue I see in the Overwatch community is higher ranks trashing lower ranks as if they never started from the bottom.

  • cesaar201

    My overwatch account gets banned from comp play bc I lag out sometimes and the matches end before I can rejoin. Yet they put ppl in my games who constantly throw and harass ppl and they don’t get banned

    @VeriitasGames Trusted community members reviewing gameplay in detail used to be how CSGO would issue sanctions on Trust Factor and Prime, but it was also without explicit details about who was the offender. Check out fl0ms Overwatch videos for a good idea of what that looked like.

    @HazelGloww @sunflower_uhh I don't know the specs but it's around like a 13/14 years old. runs windows 7. I'm playing CSGO rn and i have around 25-60 fps on lowest setting. games like fortnite would crash upon loading. overwatch 2 unplayable fps. struggles to run alot of games on medium to high dettings

    @DKU_Eschaton @KRoolKountry could maybe make good movies (especially the latter) EA (maybe they could get Dreamworks to revive the PVZ movie outside of that, they got nothing (what else you gonna do The Sims, Peggle)) ActiBlizz (Crash, COD, Warcraft 2, Spyro and Overwatch could be successful)

    Uhm is the rank system broken or am i just bad??😭😭 bc i won all my five rounds ( i was platinum 1) and now im silver 5? Helppp #Overwatch #Overwatch2

    @JaybillsGames or that CTR went above and beyond with practically 2 more GPs by the devs themselves, as a thank you. The Activision writing is public like this. They do not like to commit to their own products lol, unless it's a live service that prints money like Warzone, Overwatch 2, etc.

    Are the overwatch servers down? I am trying to log back into the comp game after getting kicked out and it keeps saying “failed to connect to server” But now I’m probably banned for leaving a match 😫 Make it make sense

    My overwatch patch notes Cannibalism added Consume the corpses of your enemies to gain health and ult charge. Omnics cannot be consumed by humans, omnics can consume all heroes Moira can break a nail now when using melee or taking damage. Broken nail reduces damage by 40%

    @OWAnonymous_ Overwatch has a problem with toxic elitism, I've seen. Its perfectly fine to get upset with someone within a comp match for playing poorly or not switching when a hero absolutely isn't working, I'll grant that. Where it gets toxic though is when the sweaty comp players join 1/?

    @FroggerOW @b0gur I know overwatch 2 has problems, partially being monetary...but I enjoy the combat more now than OW1. Except I can't use my main much anymore.
