    @Striker_Yas @SnapBlastPLAY Sony doesn't own Bungie yet... Unless you want to count Activision/Blizzard games for Microsoft in which case COD, WoW, Overwatch , Tony Hawk, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot etc would all count towards Microsoft giving them the W even moreso...

  • smbith1 Jeff (@smbith1) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ I am sorry but the cod part is true. I mean who gives a **** if sb writes gg ez? If you really stop crying about sth like that then you have bigger problems than losing overwatch games. Stop being so oversensitive and go out and see what the real world is like.

  • _itsterrbear June 20th 🥳🥳🥳 (@_itsterrbear) reported

    I feel like busting heads on #Overwatch this early, I have problems

  • BewilderedOwl93 🦉A Rather Bewildered Owl🦉 (@BewilderedOwl93) reported

    @MaxJone78889200 @Boggedferngami1 excuse me, they just called overwatch D&D with laser battles, that's a level of cultural disconnect that I find impressive.

  • FlakJakOW Flak (@FlakJakOW) reported

    @MegaNuke123 @anchorage_ow Fair enough and you’ve already caught heat for including Sayaplayer lmao I’m here to raise a new issue which is you leaving out THE 🐐 of Pro Overwatch smh

  • stupid_Evie 𓆩❤︎𓆪Evi 𓆩♡𓆪 (@stupid_Evie) reported

    How does it make any senses that if I disconnect from a comp match on overwatch I get suspended??? **** that game

  • JimiHomeless81 Jimi ⬜️🎮 (@JimiHomeless81) reported

    @Entreri804 @RealThunder402 You’d be surprised. PUBG (while it was a paid game), Rainbow Six, Battlefield, and Overwatch have had huge problems with cheaters over the years. People who cheat are also get their game codes cheaper on third party key retailers like G2A.

  • KristenRaeTTV Kris🌙 (@KristenRaeTTV) reported

    @Silvoc_o7 Overwatch is such a unique game, nothing even comes close, unfortunately. There’s not anything else that quite scratches that same itch and even though the lobbies are miserable, at the end of the day I think the biggest problem is the community, not the game itself.

  • megdette mac (@megdette) reported

    Playing overwatch in lieu of dbd since it’s broken and I forgot I’m actually a good tracer

  • toastedstrawbe1 joao (@toastedstrawbe1) reported

    Valorant players have anger issues league players are fatherless and overwatch players are schizophrenics

  • shrikeoftorns zer0saber (@shrikeoftorns) reported

    @kreuger2001 @oldmategamer @steddiflo1 Doesn’t fcking matter they will so it’s there responsibility. If Xbox fans want to claim early ownership of cod , overwatch, Diablo4, crash and Spyro then they can claim this sht too. Diablo immortal is another Xbox masterpiece

  • StarAlienML Star (@StarAlienML) reported

    Overwatch content creators are having a content drought and are having a bad time because they refuse to innovate off their formulas. Flats going and playing Apex is doing the right thing, however I do think a part of the problem is the fact that all Overwatch content is ranked

  • el_k4nny El Kanny 🍥 (@el_k4nny) reported

    @pame_miraculer @PlayVALORANT that's some overwatch design, specially boomerang which is straight up a free gun, and clawbot which straight up kills, yeah too broken

  • LilMissGerbil LittleMissGerbil (@LilMissGerbil) reported

    @rolstadt1 At the moment nothing since my stuffs broken but I play league of legends a lot. Stardew, overwatch (I suck) I have a switch I need to buy games for.

  • Waffle_64 🧇 Werewaffle🐺LOU NATION🐺 (@Waffle_64) reported

    @_RocketBryan Meanwhile overwatch players got the broken promise last year of pride content, and this year we're literally scrambling for scraps from two God damn voice lines nobody in the company wants to commit to confirming the implications of, despite coming from its most popular ship.

  • GodGamerBTW Vizra (@GodGamerBTW) reported

    @StimpyPvP @SamitoFPS Literally why I quit overwatch and won't ever be coming back, and also I was a MT player too. Can't fix incompetence sadly, not even OW2 can help with that

  • SmokeKaon Joey (@SmokeKaon) reported

    @Kemmo_Ado @OWAnonymous_ You can play other games (like splitgate or Unreal tournament for example). Overwatch's CTF isn't great. It'd be a nightmare to balance, some heroes are way too broken in that game mode.

  • KennethCorona8 Fellowgames (@KennethCorona8) reported

    @Stripedgg Thats the problem with Overwatch and why CDGO is still the most watched esport. You don't have to be privy to every single patch to know whats going on.

  • dappercrook George (@dappercrook) reported

    @CreepyCree_ No no circumstances a side, if my suggestions don’t fix your problem it doesn’t matter, I was just making a point that, you should try them, cause you haven’t, and you’re unhappy playing Overwatch

  • foxvisage æ (?) (@foxvisage) reported

    @stroblaizer No I think he is the main problem, but I think he also has to operate under someone else This happened in Overwatch for skins as well which turned out so ugly after 2018 The most probable thing is that he makes awful decisions in pursuit of money with pressure from higher ups

  • StarAlienML Star (@StarAlienML) reported

    Another big problem with the content drought in Overwatch is the reliance on big content creators only getting the limelight, I personally am not asking you plug my videos because I don’t personally think they meet my standards for it, however there is little in the algo for

  • shankbait2 Shankbait2 (@shankbait2) reported

    @BlizzardCS does this account reply to support issues for overwatch because i have been waiting for 2 days for a response from a game master for an issue im having.

  • Anubisonfire1 Anubisonfire (@Anubisonfire1) reported

    Unpopular opinion: Overwatch should lower the damage of tanks and heals by 75% and have smurfing be a permanent IP ban. Also fix your algorithm. Don't force us to try and carry wins for worse players the only way we improve is playing people at the same level.

  • Mori_Akami Baha_Blast (@Mori_Akami) reported

    @ledgedemon @CharizardTweet I think splatoons issue is that you can lose paint control by moving up. Overwatch the other game I play actually punishes you for playing too defensive through ult charge for example so you want to poke and take fights

  • AlandreaRogers InfernalDrogoz : Legendary Treasures : AoC 2022 🐲 (@AlandreaRogers) reported

    @Knight96The Class Limit is what can kill Paladins. We arent as restrictive as Overwatch. This is to help against a certain issue that has been causing frustration everywhere. This will be no different as if Cauterize was purchasable, since most people got caut 3 around the 5 min mark.

  • sharkythe1st peak (@sharkythe1st) reported

    @messefy1 Overwatch 2 didn't have an open beta it was just a beta to test if the game worked properly and to fix bugs. Open betas are open to everyone and don't require invites at all

  • DariIIium 𝖎𝖓𝖐𖤐 (@DariIIium) reported

    I haven't played Overwatch in 2 months but my wiimotes broken and I won't have another one for 2 days.... do I give it a shot?

  • KitchnWitchin Werewolf Wives 🏳️‍⚧️ (@KitchnWitchin) reported

    Anyway I ruined my night cuz Blair was like "Hey Rose, remember when we played overwatch with her for HOURS and had an absolute blast and now we can't even look at overwatch anymore? Haha yea good times" Also am hungry and dehydrated and tbh that's probably 90% of the issue

  • fogcryptid omegal 🌧 (@fogcryptid) reported

    wanna play overwatch but scared i'll crash again :< i hate computers

  • magnusAZ Magnus 🍜 (@magnusAZ) reported

    @PuffDaddyCLo Honestly tho, I don’t blame battle royals at all, I blame the free to play, live service trash. It had forced us to stay on the same game for years, and buy new content for the same game. Look at overwatch, that game came out in 2015 and is just now getting a follow up.
