  • gaterkj Computer (@gaterkj) reported

    @PH7RAOH There's even issues (and this is an overwatch thing too, not just the camera crew) with the camera crew or what we see on broadcast missing parts of fights or some plays completely — I WANT TO SEE THESE PLEASE GIVE US REPLAY VIEWER

  • Xander72681386 estabon (@Xander72681386) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Fix overwatch comps I should be able to play damage with whomever and be allowed to make my rank higher please change that my rank affects if I can play damage

  • ww4evernever Celeste Martinez (@ww4evernever) reported

    @PlayOverwatch This game continues 2 have the most BROKEN system when it comes 2 players who play support! They dont have 2 heal and the whole team suffers 4 it! Not the support player but the team! The team balance is thrown off and it benefits the other team! Thanks OVERWATCH!

  • brokenandempty9 extremely broken and empty (@brokenandempty9) reported

    @BlizzardCS well i was playing a game it got randomly or i got randomly kicked out i just I’m not sure if we can still play overwatch or not I’m not on a computer and plus I’m keep getting the lag spikes

  • _DeeJayAych_ 🌟Ovail ᴳᴳDeeJayAych🌟 (@_DeeJayAych_) reported

    @ShyButt_ No idea honestly. Wanting to start my stream soon but I'm not even gonna try to stream anything from my consoles until I get the new PC cause the issues have become nonstop. Maybe some more Overwatch or something idk

  • TacoGuyy TacoGuyy (@TacoGuyy) reported

    @PG_Scorch @danfornace There was a bug in overwatch for a while where if you lag switched with Genji you'd get more swings on your ult so people would genuinely do that for ranked LOL

  • thundermutt5555 Conner❄️ (@thundermutt5555) reported

    I have played Overwatch for over 6 years and have been banned maybe 5 times and my language has not changed in the slightest. I have played valorant ranked for maybe 10 months with my account being LVL80 and have been banned almost 10 different times. Fix your **** @PlayVALORANT

  • SeraphimRosen Shakil Dossa (@SeraphimRosen) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Yes, he requires a lot of game sense and positioning. Just not mechanical aim aside from leading fire strike. Which is fine because aim is not the only type of skill in overwatch nor is it the most important. Low rank players seem to have trouble with that concept though.

  • klaudeue [ 。゚( ゚இ‸இ゚)゚。 . ] (@klaudeue) reported

    @amberliu I have the same problem 😭 the only one time I drink a lot is when I die in overwatch and wait few seconds to respawn i feel the need to sip the water next to me and never again wtf 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I don't understand and I don't play often 😭

  • no_funeral No Funeral (@no_funeral) reported

    If they don't fix the matchmaking in @PlayOverwatch then Overwatch 2 is still going to be a ****** experience for people in the lower ranks. Honestly, if you have an SR rating above 3k in any role, you should NOT be able to queue bronze dps etc. You're NOT bronze. ****

  • hollykujoishot stone ocean supremacy (@hollykujoishot) reported

    bro in the last 2 games i’ve been in on overwatch people have just been throwing around the n word blizzard fix your censoring system

  • galoftomo Tomo Galof 🇸🇮 🇬🇧 📸 🔶 🇺🇦 (@galoftomo) reported

    @MikelGunners @londongazza @Christian4BuryS sure, don't forget that in No10 are not working just civil servants, but many staff is under PM overwatch

  • MidorinhasSTDs Midorin (@MidorinhasSTDs) reported

    Uhm did everyone just get ddos'd in #Overwatch

  • apexlemon 🔞Lemon🔞 - EN PNGtuber 🔜 Vtuber (@apexlemon) reported

    is the overwatch league app broken for anyone else or am I just stupid?.. it's not letting me save the kickoff clash voting **** but everything is filled out.. @overwatchleague help ;-;

  • LegitimaDfs LegitimaDfs (@LegitimaDfs) reported

    @TheRealBigOh @DestinyNostalgi @A_dmg04 I had fun with Rift, I say this is a Gambit problem just as a way to simplify what I wanted to say. I like when PvP falls into the strategically objective mode. So I didn't mind the transmat at all, on the contrary! But this is just me and my Overwatch addicted player-side.

  • hottiecoolguy Bran Pac Gom (@hottiecoolguy) reported

    @BlizzardCS bro I’m not even on a computer and it effects console and plus it effects overwatch 1 and overwatch 2 at 3:00pm so either stop or fix it your damn self

  • str1kerrRL str1ker (@str1kerrRL) reported

    @thinksimpleduh @stellaayou @AlexExamples I had the same problem with Overwatch. it’s so oversaturated and cartoon-y that edits don’t look good unless it’s ironic. and before anyone says so yes I’ve played the games

  • MLPro247 MLPro (@MLPro247) reported

    @iamthelobo @dafran @PlayOverwatch I don't think this problem is an overwatch problem. This happens in every game. The industry uses the same match making system. Hell even chess has this problem. Does it suck, sure. But it's a part of ranked online games.

  • CJSeedge CJSeedge (@CJSeedge) reported

    @lFibreOpticl @Ru_NRD @MldGhost Cod, Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 are all still MP as far as we know, and I don't even know what else they'd bring to Xbox exclusive anymore. Crash and Spyro, I guess? A Warcraft thing?

  • prettypinkpansy red | VISUAL NOVEL HELL (@prettypinkpansy) reported

    @j3s_tf but this is not a problem that happens in other games. most other games do not have toxicity this bad - they put in measures to try to improve it. like god can you imagine a 3 minute gloating period at the end of every overwatch match where people spam emotes and teabag?

  • ihyAzula Azula ♡ (@ihyAzula) reported

    i can’t wait till i’m 21 ima do a drunk stream on overwatch every time someone calls doomfist broken i’m taking a shot

  • ColtLacy Spiritual Turtle (@ColtLacy) reported

    @BlizzardCS cant log into overwatch, says unexpected server error and is only happening for one account.

  • ChrisTGG_Twitch ChrisTheGamer (@ChrisTGG_Twitch) reported

    @discord why does my discord say that someone is playing overwatch even though i'm not friends with them. Is it a error or something?

  • ArcadiaBayGirls Rox Loves Haze (@ArcadiaBayGirls) reported

    I can't stand Fortnite's replay mode. They seriously need to rework it and make it function better. Why does it need to reload everything? Why can't it be easy to use like Overwatch's? Then there's the issue where replays wont even play. Had to throw away all the work I did. 😐

  • Apply Apply (@Apply) reported

    WHY CANT I LOGIN IN TO OVERWATCH I DONT EVEN WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME ANYWAYS BUT IM TRYING TO AND NOW I CANT WHAT I DO HELP @DROVERWATCH @POTUS

  • geggorys gregory || 🌟 (@geggorys) reported

    @groucho_liv overwatch maybe? it's kind of old, but i personally really enjoy the game, probably the only fps game i could willingly play,, only issue is really that they don't update as much since they're focusing on the sequel

  • OwBooga boogaOW (@OwBooga) reported

    Something about overwatch even scrims and **** just doesn’t feel the same as it used to, and ow2 just doesn’t seem like it will fix all the problems for me.

  • KAJOR_ Kajor (@KAJOR_) reported

    If u see this, can u drop down below some of the worst Overwatch tweets youve ever seen before This can be like a really bad take on the game, on OWL, surrounding OW drama, or issues way broader than Overwatch (could be on the eSports scene for example) Possible video idea

  • Lolb0tomy Lolbotomy (@Lolb0tomy) reported

    Anyone elses Overwatch server just lag to **** then close? #Overwatch

  • pewnit Punit (@pewnit) reported

    @ibxtoycat @Xilefian Kind of the issue with Twitter. It ends up being a cesspool of everyone with the same opinion. You want a fresh take? As someone who's been following Overwatch for a while, the Minecraft community is ungrateful, BUT, I understand specific frustrations like how the original...
