  • ThisGuyHaHa Preston Sheets (@ThisGuyHaHa) reported

    @CanYouPetTheDog Actual retard take. The people who made the game are allies. There is literally a trans teacher in the game. A huge **** you to JK Rowling. Meanwhile the people who made overwatch knowingly contributed to tye problem by continuing to work directly FOR the problem people.

  • The_FurbineOwO Furbine_OwOwatch (@The_FurbineOwO) reported

    Public service announcement to all Univeral Union Overwatch personnel. @YourBenefactors has defected to the rebellion. Treason will not be tolerated. If you happen to locate anyone associated with the traitor's, please contact us *immediately*.

  • GbHaseo GbHaseo (@GbHaseo) reported

    @CardinalMDM @DSR_Joker I don't really give a **** about PvP, I hate PvP. Apex is plagued by horrible hit reg, and so many other issues. CS:GO is PC, so I haven't played it, it's old as hell looking though. Overwatch just isn't as fun especially with no ADS. I 99% play PvE, Titanfall 2 is only 1 close

  • Kurt_Wirth Kurt Wirth, Ph.D. (@Kurt_Wirth) reported

    @BlizzardCS Having latency issues that seem to not be on my side only with Overwatch over the past few days and they've been worse today. It's unplayable at the moment. Are there any known issues on your server side that would be causing this?

  • baby_dollfawn 🎀fawn🎀 40% OFF NO PPV (@baby_dollfawn) reported

  • nvrIack soloist * (@nvrIack) reported

    teammates are actually a problem in overwatch, i went from bronze-silver to plat cuz i ran with different people 💀👐

  • 1Corner_Thinker Am (@1Corner_Thinker) reported

    @its_eniebomedov Stop using the disabled and unable as your shield. A guy playing with ONLY his feet in Overwatch (a highly competitive skill based game) has no problems doing what those with functioning hands can after training to be on their level. Either knuckle-up or Shut up.

  • DakotaMalcolm__ SheaButtaPapi 🦉 (@DakotaMalcolm__) reported

    Blizzard needs to fix the Overwatch ranking system

  • kkomiluvr ʚ joi ɞ (@kkomiluvr) reported

  • jack19950879934 jack1998 (@jack19950879934) reported

    @belet_seri It's a similar problem as the Omnics in Overwatch, in that the minority stand-ins are INCREDIBLY dangerous to the greater humanity for one reason or another, though the Omnics have it worse considering, as robots, they can be hacked and forced to kill humans against their will.

  • Spaceghoulz C O F F I N ⚰️🦇 (@Spaceghoulz) reported

    So I been trying games out last couple days with my #RTX4080, EVERYTHING MAXXED 240 FPS ultra! Played #overwatch last night, unreal, smooth no latency issues. Sniping was on point! I was SLAPPING with Ana!

  • XanderXCIV Walt XanderArt (@XanderXCIV) reported

    @IllegalIncel @OrwellNGoode 2)Also, Street Fighter 6 is from Japan. They don't cater to the woke minority like most companies here do. They keep bending the knee, and that is a problem. Besides MCU She-Hulk & Overwatch(and Catwoman), what other Western examples of female characters that are....

  • CowyyYT CowyyYT (@CowyyYT) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @OverwatchFR I have played 3 games and 2 of them i was sent into a game where my team lost after 2 seconds of me joining? One of them i didnt even spawn before we just lost???!?!?!?! fix your ****

  • serapter1 Serapter (@serapter1) reported

    @damnitburned @StrawHatHiki @OWAnonymous_ Issue with overwatch is that it gets significantly harder to win fights being players down. clutching isn’t really a thing in the way it is in shooters like CS or Siege where better gameplay could reasonably win you a 1v5 or 2v5 situation

  • CyberCelebi101 C3ntra Veraza (@CyberCelebi101) reported

    @damnitburned @StrawHatHiki @OWAnonymous_ Other FPS games with snipers have very short TTKs on most of their guns, and snipers still create problems in those games too. Overwatch is very different from other shooters and that’s a fact. This game isn’t CSGO or Rainbow Six, stop justifying bad balance decisions like this.

  • WESTRNSHARK CAELUM (@WESTRNSHARK) reported

    I’m panicking so bad rn my Overwatch won’t open and it’s saying that the person who bought this needs to sign in? But I’m literally on the acc that installed it 💀💀

  • JamesPelaez44 ToketsuKasai (@JamesPelaez44) reported

    @blankohs @N7Kobold @CODCode904 The problem is that Overwatch is hard to watch. Most of Valorant is "kinda" repetitive and much slower then Overwatch, which makes it a WAY better viewing experience. I still wouldn't play Val, but I wouldn't watch Overwatch outside of clips or meme YouTube videos
