  • Daxank_live Daxank ➐ (@Daxank_live) reported

    @TrevTheBeast10 @WillyMacShow @nicholasdeorio You joke but as a kid I used to spend hours on the slot machines in pokémon games. Then I spent days on slot machines in cinema servers on Gmod Then days on slot machines in Tower Unite Then about 800 bucks on lootboxes in Overwatch. Then I realized I had a problem.

  • ShinyWallBrick The R. (@ShinyWallBrick) reported

    @JulesSimioni @Mattwo7 @TF2OutofContext No, Overwatch died because it had issues with balance, which got brought up by strange changes, and new characters that were unbalanced to the point of breaking the game or be useless. Also the toxicity of the players that leaded bad publicity for an artificial eSports game.

  • Pandoro64 The Pandoro 64 🇫🇷 (@Pandoro64) reported

    There's no bot issues in overwatch

  • KorruptFPS Korrupt (@KorruptFPS) reported

    HOW ******** DID YOU NOT LEARN FROM OVERWATCH THIS **** IS ******* BROKEN #******* #FIX #FINKA

  • ravencrestskull folie à deux (@ravencrestskull) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Fix your ******* game you worthless excuse of a development company. Overwatch is unplayable, and it takes 6 years for bullshit ow2. Useless.

  • Loki_del_sol Loki del sol (@Loki_del_sol) reported

    @CrownCosmo ...gonna be honest, Cosmo, from someone who complained about people calling overwatch "dead" because it was less popular, this is kinda hypocritical. Especially since this has nothing to do with the problem?

  • GhostyGump GhostyGump (@GhostyGump) reported

    If you want Valve to update TF2 here's what you can do: >Stop Playing the game >Stop buying from the mann co store >Play Overwatch >Email valve about the problem Instead you guys would rather self promote yourself through a tweet campaign.

  • kaleghoul kale 𖤐 trenton ritual (@kaleghoul) reported

    sending $20 to a complete stranger i met on overwatch so they could afford food? yes sure no problem. spending $20 on food for myself? ehhh no thats a waste of money.

  • Stryxus Stryxus (@Stryxus) reported

    I am indeed loosing faith in #Overwatch. As unique of a game it is which I cannot find a replacement for, its community has got to the point of only toxicity. #Overwatch2 Wont fix this and with the beta reactions, people will be stuck on the "ITS BAD" mentality.

  • PadaPooka ℙ𝕒𝕕𝕕𝕖𝕣 (@PadaPooka) reported

    Swear Overwatch is glitched. I feel like i'm super good and winning games but at the end it say defeat and I lose sr???? Anyone else having this problem

  • Bluetheeeb BlueTheeb (@Bluetheeeb) reported

    @Etisalat_Care Me and my team has been kicked from OverWatch due to bad Eitsalat’s ISP the problem we got banned for more than 1 hour and also lost a lot of points

  • cuddlepuppy69 funny taur has a REFSHEET NOW (@cuddlepuppy69) reported

    to fix tf2 they should add winston from overwatch in to attack all the bots by hand. his talents, and swag, wasted in overwatch

  • NeganOW_ Devyn (@NeganOW_) reported

    @fur_yiff @egglikesbaal @OWAnonymous_ The problem with Overwatch is just that. Widow players play the character as if they played games like CoD or CSGO. This is another big reason why her character just doesn't work in OW. I know guys who came straight from CSGO to Widowmaker before double shield 1/?

  • SonyaLynn SonyaInTheBin (@SonyaLynn) reported

    @joshhaber @Julius_Kim Yeah, the FPS comment is pretty off the mark, unlike the rest. The FPSs that glorify realistic guns, combat, and killing are a problem, IMHO, but there are also FPSs with a far more cartoonish and harmless quality, like Fortnite and Overwatch. As always, YMMV.

  • BombtailsTheFox BombtailsTheFox (@BombtailsTheFox) reported

    @JulesSimioni @Mattwo7 @TF2OutofContext You realize that your solution is basically "remove everything that made TF2 unique, and turn it into a generic modern shooter game a la Overwatch, without letting people customize their look", right? And even if it happens, it still doesn't fix the issue of the bot's rampage.

  • MillieD1414 millie / sunny d 🇦🇷 (@MillieD1414) reported

    @Stadic32075077 theres a problem. overwatch is not relevant

  • mik_sharov Mikhail Sharov (@mik_sharov) reported

    @OniiKamii Have you tried updating your GPU drivers? I ran into a similar problem in Overwatch a long time ago

  • mochii_tokyo Vtuber | Tokyo Mochii (@mochii_tokyo) reported

    Seems like it was a overwatch issue didn’t see the C key being spammed.

  • David15sp David Aibar (DarkSchaten) (@David15sp) reported from Santa Pola, Comunitat Valenciana

    @Henryyyjacks @NESbot_feed You know Activision in IP terms and in workforce are way way ahead true? You have Diablo, Overwatch, Warcraft, Crash, Spyro, Candy Crush, Cod and others like Prototype, Singualrity, Tenchu, Hexen, Tony Hawk, Guitar Hero, True Crime, Starcraft... Clearly pointless

  • swordart22 swordart22 (@swordart22) reported

    @overwatchleague GIVE ME SOMETHING TO GRIND i got things to farm/gets upgrade etc in CoD . I got nothing tin Overwatch fix it.

  • ShanWinTheGod ShanTheGod (@ShanWinTheGod) reported

    @marlisjun @Innthacut Do they only make Call of Duty, OverWatch, or something? Thats a cool sounding game, never heard of it though. Crash, Spyro and Tony Hawk all count.

  • DasRuedi DasRüdi (@DasRuedi) reported

    @arkclaimer Why would we need a sequel for a live service game? Did overwatch 2 really make people believe that games as such profit from sequels?

  • UllarWarlord Ullar/Jonas (@UllarWarlord) reported

    not to mention the culture of FPS as a whole. I'd even go so far as to say that gaming space would be oversaturated with CoDs and the like as opposed to hits like Overwatch and Valorant. From a design standpoint, it was a big way for guns to be more than just military-issue 2/9

  • grokrockradio grok (@grokrockradio) reported

    how to fix overwatch in one small patch if something does not take mechanical skill, remove it - mercy, junk, winston, moira remove the ability to run two shields at once, including rein-winston halve all shield durabilities halve hanzo's damage output and remove headshots

  • WestBrook___ ᴡᴇᴤᴛʙʀᴏᴏᴋ! (@WestBrook___) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ The issue is that you still care about rank in overwatch 2022. You should've stopped caring by 2020 tbh.

  • hoesthetix օɨ (@hoesthetix) reported

    Overwatch has a nice system where you can ban people you don’t wanna meet again. MK should have the same thing. Lag switchers , Mashers should all be thrown in a bin somewhere.

  • Anubisjaws Miguel Davalos (@Anubisjaws) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Really hope you can help me. I had to reset my ps4 due to a problem with one of their latest updates. Everything was erased, but I can download the games I already had...except for Overwatch origins😞😞, there is the legendary edt. But have to pay again for it.

  • The_Wild_Wang Wild **** (@The_Wild_Wang) reported

    @BlizzardCS “failed to connect to server” for the last couple hours on Overwatch. Says I’ve joined a game then I get the error.

  • EsperSKS esper 「エスパ-」 (@EsperSKS) reported

    The biggest problem with Overwatch is it can be lost by one player but it can't be won by a singer player. In games like CSGO, Valorant, and even Apex to an extent you can at the very least "carry". Smart plays and aim will take you far. Overwatch is just unsatisfying to play.
