No wonder overwatch is more dead than ever. Yall never addressed the smurf problem and now you have a **** show that’s impossible to enjoy. If it’s not smurfs its trolls, leavers, throwers, incels, everything; a circus of pathetic humans with no decency 😴😦😦😴

@realAyitSevi Not only that, it would also mean the game would basically be like Overwatch and all the other dumb live service games that kill the fun for the competitive players. Casuals cannot have any fun as long as those people are asking for ridiculous things.

@Cheataah @IceBorgRevived @NRGgg Overwatch is not broken...if you don't understand counters and what characters to pick then it can feel like the game is 'broken'

@LolOverruled Funny story: My friend started using "Cynthia Nixon" as an Overwatch username a few years ago. He then kept using it for other things, and I finally had to stop him when he told me he "nabbed it" as his New York State benefits portal login.

@milk_imbiber @shosar How do I "keep track of the ownership" of the skins I have in League of Legends already? And the skins I own in Overwatch? You seem fixated on inventing a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

@RaymondDoerr I must say, the technical side of making the hacks is interesting to know about... But as an Overwatch player, hackers are a real pain in the *** for the community. (Although my problem's more often the river of high skill player's smurf accounts being dumped into mid ranks.)

My main issue with overwatch is that people are constantly talking **** the whole match. Imagine focusing time you could be using to play to talk ****. Make that make sense.

I remember for 5 whole seasons of overwatch every comp game I played I would disconnect from my wifi 💀 I haven’t had the motivation to grind since

Even if the mapping could be automated; you then run into problem number 2: Different skeletons have different proportions. E.g. A soldier in COD has pretty normal human proportions, but Tracer from Overwatch is like 70% legs.

@ItsWashington17 Why not... instead of insulting ACTI because of Blizz, pursuit and chase Jeff Kapplan from overwatch team and the other Blizzard's Quitters... If they Run away, maybe is because they were part of the Problem...

@BlizzardCS I saw a thread that you replied to about lag on Overwatch for Xbox. I am struggling with lag and frame skips on Xbox as well. My account was affected with the login issue with the wonderland update. The recent update fixed the login issue, but has been laggy since.

Lets see if Overwatch 2 will get released this year. I'm sure it won't get carried and gain traction thanks to OW porn like the last one and this one actually have enjoyable balanced and non buggy gameplay with bigger problems than just renaming a character instead of fixing it.

@ValorantUpdated They should do it how overwatch does. OW had the same problem for a while where the team comp sucked so now you choose the role you want and you end up with a good team comp based on the matchmaking

@TelepresenceLen @shosar League and Overwatch aren’t great exemplars because they don’t have RMT. I should have used WOW or FFXIV as examples. In those cases, the problem is RMT doesn’t kick back to the company. You are trying to capture that income stream with NFTs by creating a RM secondary market.

@Vikkiloo17 We did have a connection issue relating to Overwatch and it was fixed shortly after we became aware of it. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this.

@NaToSaphiX Overwatch certainly works. I can't imagine a Valve-designed system that's broken.

Its so weird that valorant decides that adding more cc to the game is good for it, and overwatch has had this problem for years now

@nemesismess If they released a version of overwatch that's just the launch version before they removed duplicate characters, changed my main 3 ******* times, and released a broken character that completely changed the meta I think I'd put a bunch of time into it again.

@BlizzardCS Yes I uninstalled it and reinstalled it multiple times since the wonderland update. I also deleted the save data stored on the system itself and then restored the data. It’s only Overwatch that is laggy. I haven’t had any problems with Overwatch before the winter update.

It's actually cringey how toxic some ppl can be on Overwatch. Like it's 2022 get over yourselves. I get you might have mummy or daddy issues but acting out for attention on a videogame ain't gonna solve your issues m8.
