    Reminder: overwatch didn’t cause the problem to occur. One of the blizzard employees did. Just because blizzard made overwatch doesn’t mean you have to hate on overwatch. It’s fine if you don’t like the game anymore. But remember that overwatch didn’t cause it.

    @OverwatchTXT It could be we will stay with owl cuz they had nothing to do with the issue and we will support the people who have been hurt and show them product they made despite the struggles and we believe in the anyone can be a hero thing overwatch is about but no they run ooof

    i was going to finally use my ps4 but found out during on overwatch match that all my controllers are broken and my brother didn't mention it at all when he was using the ps4 🙃

    @realAyitSevi Looks like they are gonna turn it into Destiny. A “Live service” game. Similar to games like Fortnite, Overwatch and PUBG. Live events and lots of micro transactions.

    i’m so sad seeing what overwatch is coming to, i hope somebody buys it and helps fix the internal and external issues because blizzard just isn’t fit to take care of the game, employees and community anymore. they don’t care and in light of the lawsuit, it’s even more clear.

    @PlayOverwatch ******* overwatch and their **** broken game! NO repercussions for SUPPORT WHO REFUSE TO HEAL THEIR TEAM MATES! SO THE TEAM HAS TO SUFFER!

    @MO_INKS It's tough, I'm a big Overwatch fan but have been struggling to play since the news broke. Problem is you have so little power as an individual consumer really the only way you can send a message is not giving money or playing the game, sadly I feel they only listen to metrics.

    @Raintastical @PlayApex i’ve been dealing with that **** and lag spikes and glitches for so long and that’s why i hardly play. overwatch runs SO much more smoother for me.

  • unlimitedgoats

    It's so funny that Apex is doing everything Overwatch wanted to do and more in terms of characterization and narrative. And I'm positive it's not a matter of skill or effort on the part of the creatives, it's a scoping and management issue. We'll see if that changes with OW2

    @parukosleepy Crash isn't even from Blizzard, it's from only Activision. The character that should be there would be Tracer or any Overwatch character idk.

  • omistar2392

    @UbisoftSupport Overwatch but it's more of like (I normally have 80-90ms ping which is normal) I would be getting network error and get 90-100ms ping but feels like 500ms when it happens

    The problem with #Overwatch is you can't climb due to all the smurfs who play low rank to dominate. Makes me not want to play

    Does anyone else have their Xbox crash randomly when trying to type something in the overwatch chat? I've had this happen like 5 times now

    @CharsEmotes Im a small streamer that loves playing valorant and overwatch with my friends i usually try to keep my streams fun by adding things that the stream can do to keep engaged and included but the problem would be that no one really subs to me so i dont want the emotes to go to waste

    I ******* hate Overwatch. Why do I play this broken game?!

    @N30o_ @DaddyMousePalas bro have you checked the news lately, alot of people are leaving overwatch due to the issues at blizzard and want to give other games a try, and after hearing about paladin's they might try it out, so it's up to us veteran players to encourage them to give it a go.

    (NidgeDFX/MegaNidge) #RadicalCentrist (@NidgeDFX) reported

    @DieHardDragoon The problem i see with this is its gonna hurt the pro gamers that literally dedicated their lives to playing only Overwatch 40+ hours a week. Blizzard will lose pocket change and society will forget 6 months from now. But the pro gamers wont because they will be jobless

  • steviewonder94

    I’m sorry but I really can’t understand the mindset of the people cheering on the fact that Overwatch League is losing all its sponsors which could leave it in serious financial trouble.

  • Kenny1Sid
    Luis Gonzalez Castro (@Kenny1Sid) reported

    @Cloud_Atla5 @TheCalWeathers @IGN Anthem, Overwatch, No man's Sky (at launch), GTA Online (as well at launch) and even Red Dead Online (at launch). Most resently Cyberpunk (it wasn't supposed to be a game as a service).

  • ANTIFA_manager
    The Manager Of ANTIFA (@ANTIFA_manager) reported

    @brooklynmarie I've been such a fanboy for so long, I absolutely love Overwatch to the point its my favorite game basically ever, and I'm so ******* disgusted that I just can't play their games till I feel confident that the issue has been taken seriously.

    @ReaperYour @hanifrbbn @PlayStation True, true. My little brother got hacked awhile back and customer service wouldnt do **** to help us. Thankfully he was young enough he only had a few games, but it sucks he lost all his progress in games like Overwatch.

    Hudson Pace 🏳️‍🌈 (@Pyrosauru) reported

    Blizzard not fixing their **** makes me so ******* mad, because you refuse to fix your company you ruin the lives of casters, players producers and everyone else that works on Overwatch Leauge when 90% of league sponsors pull their sponsorships, (1/2)

  • lizsilich04
    Liz Silich (@lizsilich04) reported

    “Don’t punish overwatch league for what blizzard did :(“ okay back that up for just a second please. An OWL mvp who switched to Valo was recently outed as abusive *during OWL*. why tf are you assuming some of these company culture issues don’t extend into that area again?

  • AwesomeAJ10
    AwesomeAJ (@AwesomeAJ10) reported

    Valve game update, Fnaf movie, Joycon drift fix, Atlanthian city, and Overwatch 2. Which will happen first?

  • cyanexa
    Cyanexa (@cyanexa) reported

    It shows just how poorly Overwatch's esports scene has been managed if you get to the point where fans are actively waiting to hear if OWL will even happen next season.. Regardless of sponsorship issues, people have had this mindset for years already.

  • biggestsonicfan
    SaltyFreeman (@biggestsonicfan) reported

    It's EXTREMELY rare to see a server close due to an error in Overwatch these days (save from custom games) but I experienced one and I'm absolutely dumbfounded. I managed to get it recorded as well.
