  @DependentSpider Nintendo didn't promote the release of Overwatch's Switch version when the Blitzchung situation happened, so yeah chances of Crash being in Smash is lower.

  @BenniBanxx @PlayStation My GF was having the same issue. She decided for the hell of it to try Overwatch on disc. It worked. Might be back up in some areas cause the game is full of players.

  @GHSTagony @EskayOW imagine thinking that ONLY specific character players are toxic and are the problem with overwatch XD XD XD XD

  @Cremede87876385 @SonOfGarry @OWAnonymous_ I don’t have a problem with NA as a region. It’s just you can’t really say that it’s an International League when 13 teams out of 20 are based in NA alone, especially considering the international reach of Overwatch. Like I said 4 franchise leagues would be better

  When you get on Overwatch assuming that the internet is running good, only for it to glitch and kick you off and knock your cop points down another 50, sigh. What a life.

  @PlayStation you owe a free ps5 if you don’t fix your system in 5 mins who does maintenance at 1 pm in the middle of the day look at a game such as overwatch they always do maintenance in the middle of the night aka 4 am and they don’t get any complaints they also notify the fans

  @it_your_sam @Chojinki Bad idea. Playing #Overwatch on something you can throw is just asking for trouble. I play on PC but I’m pretty sure PlayStation and Xbox controller sales tripled since May 2016.

  @BlizzardCS Dear Blizzard Support, I am having issues logging onto Overwatch via Xbox. I am getting a BC-101 code. I have reset my console, reset my router, uninstalled the game, and reinstalled the game, nothing has worked. I have submitted a ticket but it has been 48 hours.

  @mingus_man Overwatch’s balance team just had no clue what they were doing, there was no intent to hype new seasons or characters by making them broken. League did exactly that and Daniel Z Klein was a dev on league during the time they did that

  The Revival of Savage Park 🦁 (@binaryproblem) reported 33 minutes ago

  Monday: The Grind I stream games that have a ranked system, battle passes or are loot based towards an end game goal. Overwatch, Destiny 2, Apex, FO76, Diablo III. These are usually games that run as a service or have a competitive scene.

  @dakcity_ So whole it has issues, it doesn't fall into Overwatch's hellhole of it's non-existent lore?

  There need to be more Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifles in video games

  @basisspace @GardenPathWA Mr. McDonald here is aist of current exploits/cheats in use as of August 2021: Where the is server lagger/crasher fix? Why is VAC bypass a thing? Why can you grab IPs from people in your lobby? Why is Overwatch completely useless?

  I’m holding on for a sliver of hope that Blizzard will fix Overwatch or give it to a different company.

  @PlayOverwatch Overwatch STFU and fix your game. It sucks playing this ****. Uninstalling and never playing again go fuckyourself

  Problem is that im scared to put more time into overwatch, i dont want my grades to suffer

  Captain Octane (@OctaneCaptain) reported 41 minutes ago

  @Respawn @PlayApex Slowly losing my faith in Papa Respawn just like Overwatch had me hooked but eventually fell into my rarely played section. At least fix Titanfall 2 and start developing 3 and make it good. Wellp heres praying Battlefield and Halo are good otherwise it might time quit gaming 😭

  ExoGhost (@ExoGhost_) reported 41 minutes ago

  @notlocalshut @El_Karlangas69 Yeah, I don't notice delays either. That doesn't mean that they're not there. Modern Warfare itself is an unoptimized game with at least 20ms more input lag than Overwatch. Do I notice that? No. But it's there

  ItsGenlus (@genlus602) reported 43 minutes ago

  @KwlxBear I'm playing Overwatch now (I know it has its problems, but I feel like its in better state than Apex). Titanfall 2 is a good too, but its DDOSed again

  Damon (@SickinatorD) reported 44 minutes ago

  I just tried it with a different PS4 game (Splitgate) and it works? Why is Overwatch specifically not working?

  ∥ Overwatch isn't even worth playing in this state bro, it's just full of broken characters, toxic people, and a bunch of bumbling idiots who don't know how to play. I can't do this anymore

  Arcflame Arcanum @HonkaiImpact/GenshinImpact (@ArcflameArcanum) reported 45 minutes ago

  @ottservia Also it's really clear when a character/couple is genuinely gay or gay for the sake of fan service. For an example of the former check out 13 Sentinels. For an example of the latter, man idk. Every Overwatch character or something.

  @alebobwa15 @Respawn @PlayApex not to be rude but Fortnite is .3, cod is .3, overwatch is .3 and I've played controller for about ehh 4 years prior to switching to m&k for the past years,and it's so hard compared to the roller I go from yeah I'm a decent player to IM A ******* GOD on roller so its kinda broken

  Xylophone (@pngdotjpeg) reported 49 minutes ago

  @OverwatchTXT Honestly, it might be too late. After the ridiculously long content drought, and then the lawsuit coming out against the corporation that owns it, most people are really put off from Overwatch right now. I might buy it if they fix their **** a bit

  Jonathan (@Jonatha94144572) reported 49 minutes ago

  @Rawrious819 We just need the devs to polish everything and make the UI look more modern. And just a patch where they fix 80% of the bugs would instantly make this game better than Overwatch

• 
  Proto VI (@CalebGamerOW) reported 53 minutes ago

  @LaggyOw @StormAccetta @PlayOverwatch The only problem is that those new maps were specifically designed for the 5v5 changes and with the new engine in mind for Overwatch 2 so I don't think they would want to do that and wait to release all of those maps at once when the sequel comes out.

  "just how broken are you doki?" i can recite the entire overwatch opening cinematic from memory
