  • Zurg___ TZL | Zurg (@Zurg___) reported

    Its kinda hilarious playing overwatch again. Everyone is blaming, telling people they are playing bad, and not being productive. Meanwhile I’m trying to solve problems, ask for advice, and being positive with feedback. Its just funny to be a part of

  • chowosen john (@chowosen) reported

    @RedexLCO the bottom 90% of the OW player base not knowing the basics of the game is one of overwatch's biggest underlying issues

  • sharingus Sharingus || COMMISSIONS OPEN (@sharingus) reported

    @DpsDeku I would like to say i still play Overwatch but i cannot bring myself to accept the ActiBlizz issues. I have to the game Paladins by Hi-Rez studios that for me specifically it scratches that itch.

  • foodforthotzoe Zoe🏳️‍⚧️ | #BLM (@foodforthotzoe) reported

    @Sio_the_man See but the main issue is that blizzard isn’t just overwatch. All of their games are on the line right now, and they’ve already trashed Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch 1. If they don’t save themselves from their reputation, WoW, COD, and StarCraft all die out too.

  • vixuales (@vixuales) reported

    my main issue with Overwatch is that I've mained Dva for so long that im not really competitive if I play other heroes, plus Blizzard ******* sucks now and I only know like three people that still play this

  • fromstie Jay MacKenzie 🥶 - 2% (@fromstie) reported

    How ******** do I get out of bronze in Overwatch these people have issues

  • MaxMarcellus3 Maucs Omax (@MaxMarcellus3) reported

    @CriticalBard Overwatch was great. It had the potential a massive multimedia franchise. People who didnt play the game still wanted to interact with the characters/world.Blizzard eroded so much good will so fast. The greatest series of unforced errors I've ever seen.

  • ItsJessTat Jess (@ItsJessTat) reported

    While playing FF Me: Why is there a ladder here if I can't climb it? My friend: Are you talking about your Overwatch games? i am broken

  • Bame1Twitch bame1 (@Bame1Twitch) reported

    How the hell do I fix my Overwatch Mic. It works everywhere se but OW and Google ain't helping. First person that leads me to fix it gets VIP in my channel. Gnight

  • tulip_ow tulip (@tulip_ow) reported

    problems with overwatch again... go some hearthstone #hearthstone

  • Sylvane77 Dimmers Reaby (@Sylvane77) reported

    @vexwerewolf I can't wait for Overwatch to die, so we can talk about what was actually very cool from it without paying lip service to Blizzard.

  • stellvia2016 蒼いタマシイ (@stellvia2016) reported

    @nerdSlayerG I think your postmortem of OW was spot on. Upon seeing beta gameplay, I immediately warned people it was going to have problems: They went for half casual, half competitive gameplay elements, which would ultimately cause frustration for both sides. (1/2) #overwatch

  • Chr0nicleShad0w ChronicleShadow (@Chr0nicleShad0w) reported

    @BlizzardAccount I decided to start playing OverWatch again then I come to find out that my account name has been changed so I go to change my name and then I find out that my login email is different a email I have never seen before

  • Halabango Halabango (@Halabango) reported

    Hmm. Just checking out some twitch streams and I don't see the fishbowl effect as much on theirs, even though they are widescreen. Read that FOV is 103, which fits the problem I see. Need to work on this more as I really want to give this game a shot after writing off Overwatch.

  • Alpha_T_10 Alpha_T-10 (@Alpha_T_10) reported

    @AskPS_UK I’m trying to re-download overwatch but my origins addition has been replaced with legendary edition and I cannot download it I have tried restoring licensing but it’s not working. Any other things i can do?

  • anaIsenpai CockVid-19 (@anaIsenpai) reported

    overwatch needs to fix the joining a match situation. i dont wanna join a match halfway over especially if the team is losing like?!?!?!?!

  • ASHESART1 ASHES_ART (@ASHESART1) reported

    @Rainbow6Game what why just xbox fix our ps4 plz l have high ping on middle east servers like it show me 66 in menu but in game 140 150 130 what is this l play others games like overwatch battlefield or any game its NORMAL IT just R6 PLZ UBI FIX l love the game l don't want r6 to be like that

  • Frostbyte1307 Frost (@Frostbyte1307) reported

    i love how overwatch players just **** on a patch whenever its released and then 2 weeks later they just forget about it becuase it legitametly does not matter since the devs dont adress the core issues of the game

  • Exalted_Speed Exalted Speed Rider (@Exalted_Speed) reported

    Thinking of doing the overwatch comics for a thread and the bit will be me pretending it’s this reboot of an old superhero comic and making vague references to stories that never happened like the issue where soldier 76 discovers that Tracer is addicted to *****.

  • WaifuKaizer KAIZER (@WaifuKaizer) reported

    When you're a diamond player and you get out of Gold on your alt account only to go on a losing streak back down into Gold. Overwatch matchmaking is broken as ****, this game needs to be deleted Holy ****

  • ArtworkLoco LocoLocalArtwork (@ArtworkLoco) reported

    @ZackTheNerd @heavyfortres Well its not just their fault. Its very symptomatic of the games general decline. I've played 2000+ hours of TF2 and its pretty upsetting to see it in such a state. TF2 fans are usually pretty dismissive about the games issues too. "HAR HAR OVERWATCH BAD TF2 GOOD"

  • DrThunderdome "Doctor" Thunderdome (@DrThunderdome) reported

    @annoyingaria I had this problem with competitive Overwatch and it got so much worse when I got all pissed off about matchmaking and started collecting data on my win-rates and MMR.

  • EmpressKitsune_ Ice Empress 🧝🏾‍♀️❄️♒️ (@EmpressKitsune_) reported

    I love that Overwatch still has issues where the game bugs out and prevents you from moving/playing the game but have the nerve to penalize you for it? When is this gonna be fixed?

  • vusjibin Andy 🇵🇷 (@vusjibin) reported

    @ShittyHaloTakes @TheIshikawaRin This just isn't true. For years I've played competitive shooters like CSGO, R6 Siege, Overwatch, and now Valorant. 99% of my games are issue free and I get the social experience that I don't get in more casual shooters because developers have limited opportunities to socialize

  • taerikee T-Bear (@taerikee) reported

    @galarza069 @celestewithgun @Kotaku Lego was making an Overwatch set but they delayed it because of all the legal trouble Activision-Blizzard is in.

  • slovakianbadass Luke (@slovakianbadass) reported

    @RazerSupport fix the chroma apps legit cant use it on overwatch because razer forces the game to run 60 fps with the lighting features on

  • N1boostio Lucio (@N1boostio) reported

    @raptora_rapture Another similar rumor went when a certain overwatch agent was having confidence problems she fixed him right up. Just like that.

  • JishuaOW jish (@JishuaOW) reported

    idk im just really bored of overwatch right now. i dont wanna quit because theres honestly no other game that interests me, the problem is just overwatch has become really stale. im not even playing good anymore because i dont have the energy to care

  • spencerzero_ John Spencer (@spencerzero_) reported

    I don't know why but for some reason, Overwatch always has these persistent audio issues that crop up. The voice chat can just stop working for no reason, where the only fix is to restart the game. It's almost like Blizzard simply don't care about it any more.

  • daven_skilnyk Warrior of Light (@daven_skilnyk) reported

    It’s 9 am, I’ve got a headache, I just released god knows what into the toilet and my cousin is screaming at some random in Overwatch... yeah... I have a problem staying in my room all weekend.
