  • fireflyboi **** zem all (@fireflyboi) reported

    @rfloufi @SN0RLAXES @PlayApex You’re the only one that wants a sequel because everyone else has watched the unnecessary Overwatch 2 tank. Graphics aren’t an issue because this isn’t a bloody single player adventure and if the game is too complicated for you, don’t play it.

  • The25thViolence Justin (Artist formerly known as cazjuice) (@The25thViolence) reported

    when the strafe spamming mercy behind a pole is literally blinking on my screen nah nope never no goodbye overwatch I would say fix your **** but until some streamers get together and tell u to its not going to happen.

    @666sad420 when i was addicted to overwatch 1 in highschool i simply solved this problem by being a junkrat main

  • KirikoAmaterasu 家守 霧子 (SEASON 3 HYPEEE) (@KirikoAmaterasu) reported

    dude what is this new glitch on Overwatch with highlight intros on certain maps WHY IS DOOMFIST OILED UP LIKE HE BOUTTA BE IN A PORNO

  • sammnumbers samm (@sammnumbers) reported

    Overwatch console bugs I found after playing for less then a week. 1) Aim assist on baptise immortality and other deployable abilities is broken. It moves your screen up constantly and makes it almost impossible to shoot.

  • oliver_drk Oliver Darko (@oliver_drk) reported

    @PaulTassi People can't have it both ways: On one side they advocate that Xbox acquires all these big already established Games-as-a-service IPs like Call Of Duty, Overwatch, Elder Scrolls Online, Fallout 76, Minecraft, Diablo. On the other side they criticize Sony when they make own IPs.

  • LsdXiii Zombies on LSD🔞 (@LsdXiii) reported

    @OWCavalry @PlayOverwatch 10 Bastions crash the Overwatch servers with dead fish

  • XlAOTEEZ alex!! (@XlAOTEEZ) reported

    im still upset about the overwatch gifting system btw @PlayOverwatch fix your system

  • RafunkV RafunkV 👑 (@RafunkV) reported

    @Shadicnion500 They are probably doing the dumb overwatch thing of "let's rank you down every season because it feels so good to rank up". Tbh it's more of a problem for the enemy teams than me, I did a couple rounds after getting ranked and absolutely destroyed the enemy

  • MarkPl08 IMark 🏳️‍🌈 (@MarkPl08) reported

    @CoreyOCroft @Calypsis_ Agreed! For me it’s interesting how you have Activision Blizzard (legit one of the biggest scandals of 2021) and people still support it, play WoW or Overwatch and nobody says anything but when it comes to HL now everyone is having a problem.

  • ConspiracyVinyl VINYLTHEWRITER🏳️‍⚧️✍️🎨 (@ConspiracyVinyl) reported

    The issue with overwatch is that u gotta put your phone number in If u didnt have to do that, then this would be a peak game

  • NericoAugustin Lynte: Enjoyer of Things 🔞 (@NericoAugustin) reported

    I feel like the way Overwatch and Gundam Evolution have this spike in interest but have trouble retaining player base has a similarity to how URF mode in LoL burns out players 🤔

  • dreasroses drea (@dreasroses) reported

    overwatch needs to fix their matchmaking Jesus ****

  • JamPog16 JamPog (@JamPog16) reported

    @heyyydennn @aaronkellerOW @RayanMADAO They had to confirm the update with every service overwatch is on so to add something new now they'd need to wait for confirmations again which would cause them not to release season 3 tomorrow so ye it's not rly an option rn

  • Em1liath Emiliath (@Em1liath) reported

    Anyone having overwatch server issues? I just d/c’d from a game like five times & my internet is fine

  • martini_new Martini (@martini_new) reported

    @BlizzardCS when are you going to fix the career profile not updating on Overwatch 2 ?? My stats and playtime from ow 1 have still not been recovered

  • chaz_support Chaz Support (@chaz_support) reported

    @horrorbutgay The quality of skins can be subjective but to deny that cosmetic pricing is a general gaming issue rather than overwatch specific is just wrong.

  • K1TSUNERUSH des ♡ (@K1TSUNERUSH) reported

    y’all always say SOMETHING is broken on overwatch

  • ChunEilas JackLett (@ChunEilas) reported

    @TheNCSmaster @TheNCSmaster there worse live service games like Marvel Avengers, Gotham Knights, Overwatch 2, Halo infinite, and Battlefield 2042.

  • paulthecesar Paul ♡♪!? (@paulthecesar) reported

    @MajinKratosX Okay so let me ask you this. How do you personally feel about non Xbox gamers losing access to Overwatch, Crash, Spyro, Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk, Diablo, etc?

  • moon_chub moon☀️🌙 (@moon_chub) reported

  • MPIREHwntunda MPIRE Hwntunda (@MPIREHwntunda) reported

    @hitchariide Part of the problem is there...”franchised”. Mistake one I think. Look at their overwatch league! They have a whole Collective bargaining process going on!
