  @Blizzard_Ent please fix your game? I've been suspended enough times because of your servers. It's ruining my experience of overwatch 2

  Network interpolation delay in Overwatch 2, typically around 31.25 ms at a 64 Hz tick rate, smooths gameplay by predicting movements between server updates. It ensures fluid visuals but can cause issues: shots may miss or hit incorrectly due to client-server mismatches, enemy movements may appear erratic, and abilities might not sync properly. Players with lower latency gain a competitive edge, as their actions register faster. While essential for a playable experience, high delay can lead to rubberbanding and frustration. Optimizing your connection, like using wired internet, may help reduce these effects.

  @fuckhankandtony The main problems with that would be similar to the reason Lifeweaver is hated in overwatch Would there be a confirmation every time he carries you back? If not would that result in a lot of throwing? Stuff like that. Very interesting tho

  @ukrisreng1582 @mmmmmmmmiller Broken can't spend four or five dollars. On a couple of things. He would rather spend $25 on a skin in OverWatch. Then get three skins for for like four or five bucks. You can't make this **** up

  My English is so broken, because I'd absorved non stop words and accents of every english speaking country... I blame nijisanji and the aussie overwatch content creators.

  So I'm not the only one having lagging problems on Overwatch lately right?

  @dottanic I hate that skins seem like the only actual piece of content we can look forward to.. like the whole trailer was 30 seconds of stadium **** and the rest was showcasing skins.. I don't buy skins but I think overwatch created this problem themselves and likes when people are upset

  @BbEunjiX @Greenpig117 @chu_ddino for overwatch. you answered your own question. you’re acting like battle net takes up a ton of space or is super inconvenient to launch 💀 i’m not uninstalling and reinstalling the game that works perfectly fine on the platform i’ve played it on for years when it’s a non-issue

  Cyberpunk 2077's glitchfest launch aged better than Overwatch's desperate microtransactions—I'll take neon bugs & broken NPCs over Blizzard greed any day. Gaming's tragically poetic fall. #HotTake

  when flats said this game is about mental it really is, this guy had bad mental every game i played with him. like i understand you wanna win but yelling at your team isn’t gonna fix the problem and i feel like if everyone in overwatch had that mentality it would be a better game

  R.T (@RyanTmhg) reported 22 minutes ago

  @CY4N4R4 I don’t get the issue, you know how the game plays it’s Overwatch the same as it has for years. Map voting is coming everybody knows this why are people upset it’s not in the trailer if they know it’s coming.

  @_wave00 Nah i think this game has fundamental game design issues, overwatch been catering to casuals for ages and TF2 aint even balanced at all and they got consistent player counts lol

  Jay (@reiandsunshine) reported 29 minutes ago

  is overwatch broken for anyone else?? i just tried playing a comp match, we all had a minor perk unlocked at the start but it didn't work, i got killed and my entire game crashed and every time i try to relaunch and rejoin, it crashes again. @BlizzardCS

  @cealestica Same, but that's not a Reinhardt thing, that's a Overwatch players problem I just bait them out and hopefully killing three per fight (or at least try) will do the trick

  @EXCELSlOR_ Sounds stupid, but Lucio from Overwatch or Doomfist, there was a rumors way back about OW coming to smash, but after like some Hong Kong issue it soured the water

  Be careful playing comp on Overwatch as Rialto is bugged and will crash your game. Please fix or remove the map. It's just comp rules that crashes the game @PlayOverwatch

  Bello! Me analyze Overwatch clip, very critical, like minion! Clip show payload game, lotsa beams, explosions, maybe cheating by Whisperz, bello! Giardia_ow mad, call for ref, suggest foul play. Cheating big problem in Overwatch, FACEIT got strict rules, ban aimbots, wallhacks fast. But maybe not cheating, could be hero skill or game bug, like lag, look suspicious, bello! Need FACEIT check clip proper, ensure fair play. False blame hurt too, make game toxic. Truth matter most, investigate fully, bello!

  @ForcadoUALG @PaulTassi @Forbes This is a whataboutism. Marvel Tokon isn't even out yet. If you look at Destiny 2, Warzone and Overwatch, its more than new chars and cosmetics. Its new modes, new levels, seasonal stories/themes, limited time content. Just having DLC is not = live service

  I can only watch videos and draw and play overwatch on it because for aome reason sam and max would rather lag on it before overwatch does

  @Coach_Spilo why are you trying to defend him while acknowledging that he has bigoted views? seems like there is a big issue with overwatch content creators/pro players ignoring that people like awkward, dafran and now gamin4hope are extremely hateful people, especially towards minorities.

  @Symmetraupdates Ah I see though I’ve noticed people just hating to hate lately with Overwatch. Oh? Same issue too? :(

  @JackyRaider @TheActMan_YT @ShitpostRock And given the circles TheActMan runs in, they should knew that, since they are the ones saying it, while still playing their games like Overwatch, acting like their cool now just because they paid lip service to the idea of being sorry... 😒

  @rodiprimes yeah I figured 😭😭 tho what’s funny is that I’ve had no problem adjusting to paladins on pc from getting used to the controls with overwatch
