    @TeslaSciences 90% of problems in overwatch can be fixed with joining chat and communication. The other 10% angry insecure white boys.

    so howl & i were playing overwatch and in the middle of a round, everyone in the game started lagging/running in place? then it said the server died and half of the game got sent to a BRAND NEW MAP and the other half remained in the first game? but the chat? was the same???

    @mattsinz94 @bluekleep @BrigadierGinger If you know you have a gambling problem, maybe dont start playing a game with loot boxes then.... As long as theyre cosmetic only i enjoy them and them being in the game definately kept me playing Overwatch much longer than i normally would have.

    @Capt_Jack87 @NyanSox I don't think that's an overwatch issue.i genuinely think that's an issue with the accessibility of consoles. Those are horrible but overwatch as a whole isn't like that. It's heavily elo and console/pc based as far as your experience goes.

  • joelamacchia_ Texa$ Red (@joelamacchia_) reported

    @XanozIchimonji I used to play a lot of Overwatch until I realized they just haphazardly release broken or trash characters straight into competitive. Game balance would just fall apart every new character or patch and now there’s just a 2 otw or some ****

  • TTVKing 👑 The King Latifah 👑 (@TTVKing) reported

  • Jpool115 Jpool (@Jpool115) reported

    @BlizzardCS I am trying to use Overwatch voicechat, and my friends are talking in group chat, but the voicechat icon doesn't show up and I can't hear them. They can hear me just fine. How can I fix this

  • segaswirl drega 🌠 (@segaswirl) reported

    @carinadea I don't have a problem w/ppl that want to play Multi against others and compete, but the attitudes and toxic terminology like "pro fan" are bullshit and it's the same with communities like Overwatch or whatever. Dare I say they treat it too... seriously?

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent please for the love of god fix your servers. Ive been trying to play overwatch for the past hour and every single time i login i INSTANTLY get disconnected. Is that your idea of a good game? Youre a billion dollar company and you cant fix your game?

  • TheReal_B3PO ValidityB3P0 OW (@TheReal_B3PO) reported

    Is overwatch down on east coast or in Philadelphia area? I’m getting 170 ping lag spikes like 5 a minute. Honestly ridiculous because it never happens.

  • Zeldaboy14 Zeldaboy14 (@Zeldaboy14) reported

    Thoughts so far on the FACEIT system for TF2: It seems to fix issues that caused stalemates, but introduces mechanics brought over from overwatch. The group i just played with finds it really difficult. It feels more competitive than casual

  • Ceroooooo77 Cero (@Ceroooooo77) reported

    @xLovelyPop @clairv0ya @PlayOverwatch Yeah exactly how it was for me too. Never had issues until recently too it's so weird. I genuinely think it's overwatch.

  • EevieTrigger Eevie (@EevieTrigger) reported

    I hate overwatch balancing, I'm so glad that like apex learned from it's mistakes and put more than 5 seconds of thought as to how to make a character fun but not too weak or broken via balance changes. The only example of overwatch balancing I can think of is the recent caustic-

  • Hijikata_7 Ricky Sutanto (@Hijikata_7) reported

    @pushsquare live service fps/hero based shooter, like anyone would learn from other people failure, everyone just looking how successful gta, cod and overwatch and aay "how hard can it be?"

  • Moira1T m0ira1trick (@Moira1T) reported

    Does anybody know what the overwatch recall division thing is I got an email and said yes but I’m stuck on the login screen 😭

  • ZenoKagemaru Snake Queen Zeno (@ZenoKagemaru) reported

    @BtGamer2000 @schmepppp @OWAnonymous_ Oh, boo-hoo, some giant baby wrongly blames a hero who did nothing wrong besides counter the ACTUAL Overwatch killer, Tracer. If it wasn’t for Tracer’s broken mobility and kill potential, and for that matter, the bias surrounding her, Brigitte never would’ve been added.
