  • literally_mally Mally (@literally_mally) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch No way y'all aint fix the problem with cpu overheating. Y'all seriously owe me a new cpu since mine cant even run games without crashing after a certain amount of time. This problem only happened after playing overwatch 2.

  • Emperorfuzi فُضیل (@Emperorfuzi) reported

    Only way to fix overwatch is to make reinhardt meta

  • Austauschobjekt Austauschobjekt (@Austauschobjekt) reported

    Overwatch 2 is the worst game I ever touched. So bad I cant even put it in words. Devs being like "mmm no one asked for a doomfist buff... LETS BUFF DOOMFIST SO ITS THE MOST BROKEN CHARACTER EVER"

  • ivviJules ivviJules (@ivviJules) reported

    Overwatch ranking is so broken I think league my be a better play

  • Carter_OW Carter (@Carter_OW) reported

    @real_scopehead @JolfeOP Because Overwatch somehow took the bad practice and made it even worse. That's the problem. Just like every single game took Fortnite's battlepass and bastardized it beyond recognition making it worse and worse for the consumer with each iteration.

  • meteotrix Azu. ! :3 (@meteotrix) reported

    @LiaSae I guess it moves the problem to /pricing/, if the game is too expensive to put a code in the collector's edition, it just compounds with other recent horrible decisions. overwatch keyrings more expensive digitally than a physical copy you can get irl X)

  • SirGlitchie Glitchie (@SirGlitchie) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS @ATVI_AB This game is so unbalanced, putting stacked teams against terrible teams, in a very uncarryable situation. Fix your game or it will die. Also, this greed, will also kill your game. I’m about done with it. #Overwatch #Overwatch2 #ow2

  • messa_tee MessaTee (@messa_tee) reported

    Unless if they fix a lot of **** in the game, I'm never playing Overwatch again. The ****** hanzo recoil, the **** ranked system, the fact that you still get punishment because a teammate leaves during a ranked game in the form of lost mmr, its dogshit even 6 years later

  • folkkwhoree Lexi ❤️❄️ (@folkkwhoree) reported

    why ******** does overwatch lag so much when i literally have the best internet i possibly could have

  • mal_2_3 mal (@mal_2_3) reported

    @ChiefOKeefe95 @SamitoFPS @PlayOverwatch the issue isn’t that hog changed, because he didn’t, the issue is that in overwatch 2 there’s less shields and way less stuns, you cannot rely on a hook bait against a decent hog.

  • YourFriendKevin YourFriendKevin (@YourFriendKevin) reported

    It's access to time an accessibility issue? If a video game like overwatch or Destiny takes 10+ hours to teach you how to play, is that that limiting the games accessibility to those with that much time on their hands? Or is it more like a economic limitation like cost?

  • KazQuala KAZ (@KazQuala) reported

    @EpicDaylight My controller’s a bit ****** tho and can’t really be bothered to fix it rn so just been playing overwatch for the time instead of dealing with it haha

  • BigJewishNose notjosiah (@BigJewishNose) reported

    @TheWizardofYASS @CeleREDUX @ItsSomjuu it IS an unplayable mess sojourn dominated competitive and the devs wouldn't even admit that as well as every other normal overwatch balancing issue. get blizzards **** out of your mouth

  • JACKLEEOW Jack Lee (@JACKLEEOW) reported

    @lumbogg i dont have that problem unless they add the overwatch at the end LMAO

  • Dazgengar2908 Daire (@Dazgengar2908) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Unfortunately I can redeem my points for overwatch coins Unfortunately as I live in Ireland and they have all of the other stuff except for the overwatch coins Unfortunately so please fix it soon for the people in Ireland

  • N3x0nPlayz N3X0N (@N3x0nPlayz) reported

    @Tares8i @moistpuddleZ @jmeyels Personally i haven’t noticed much audio issues but i see alot of others complaining about it. Yeah overwatch has some issues but definitely better than apex. Also, nah. It started its downfall in season 6

  • Sparkling_Opal opal くコ:彡 REAL LIFE SOLIS (@Sparkling_Opal) reported

    hot take: I wouldn't mind a "siege 2" but I'm scared it would have the same problems Overwatch 2 has rn

  • redhoodie_guy hoodie guy(viper) (@redhoodie_guy) reported

    @TheWizardofYASS @CeleREDUX @ItsSomjuu Also overwatch having issues just cuz of ddos attacks isnt really tru for a lot of the issues Like u couldnt get an achievement on console without being kicked, thats not a ddos thing thats just bad management And the worst thing about it was if u were kicked u were stuck (1/2)

  • Ronynel | Ronyn | (@Ronynel) reported

    Stream tonight is back on! Wife is coming home from the hospital, super amped for some overwatch 2 or dayz? Maybe wow? I have issues picking what to stream, I really wanna make a schedule lol

  • galaxii_0 galaxii (@galaxii_0) reported

    overwatch fans should be forced to do a week of community service for every match they play i think

  • vusjibin Andy 🇵🇷 (@vusjibin) reported

    whoever decided to cancel Overwatch comp games 5 seconds after a disconnect early on deserves to get h1t by a bus (in a videogame) Like, ******* dude. My game crashes and I'm back in the menus in TEN SECONDS because it's on an SSD and I'm banned for an hour. Love it

  • GreyShot254 Greysen (@GreyShot254) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ There hasn’t been a meta sense Overwatch released that Lucio was not a too tier pick, unironically skill issue

  • stormtrait stormi (blood moon edition) (@stormtrait) reported

    need a get better at overwatch quick fix unless someone’s willing to carry me 💅🏼 constantly

  • Cyb3rPilot Cyb3rpilot (@Cyb3rPilot) reported

    Listen everyone, the comp system actually IS balanced and we are all just looking for something to blame. The reality is: just stop sucking at overwatch and fix yourself.

  • heathwindart Evgeniya Seminenko (@heathwindart) reported

    Overwatch would not have trouble with lack of supports if they gave a **** about harassment women suffer in the game. I played for years and I would say you see some form of harassment in half of the games. I reported a lot. ONE person in 3+ years got banned from my report

  • MorrowindThe HXH-Leo (@MorrowindThe) reported

    @SagamiSword_ @vishgod69 Lmao Okay now tell them why apex, siege, pubg , fortnite and overwatch won't work at all lmao. Also your confusing compatibility with fully playable there are mutiple games that are steam deck ready or proton ready that still have issues with glitches and frame rates
