  • thesearethekids OttotheTomato🆖 (@thesearethekids) reported

    @thatsChinesFood sounds like a playing overwatch related problem

  • magnacraft Grunkle Dan (@magnacraft) reported

    Telling each other that this storm is gonna pass, that players are mad, but since we have the attention span of a goldfish things are gonna fix themselves in 1 to 3 years. What's 3 years of grumpy Warcraft and Overwatch players for a company that makes more money out of [...]

  • Metaverz Flamis Clavis (@Metaverz) reported

    @chaffXgrenade @THMB69 ngl I kinda miss that the problem with it back then was (ironically) the oversaturation; now basically every shooter since Overwatch is overly colourful which in a lot of cases feels unfitting

  • GiraffeBinks Giraffe | VOTE Dallas Fuel for MVP 🏆 (@GiraffeBinks) reported

    Anyone else having trouble logging into overwatch?

  • KumaruDragolf Kumaru Dragolf (@KumaruDragolf) reported

    @Motif054 I play Overwatch (a very visually busy fast paced game) on a 144 hz monitor and I can’t play it on anything else. It feels like the screen is lagging at lower refresh rates. 60hz feels slow so idk

  • Keaneaki Keane (@Keaneaki) reported

    @Wushny1 They won't fix it, Overwatch dead now they don care

  • ElectricKucing 𝙎𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙞𝙖 '𝙠𝙪𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜' 𝙇𝙞𝙖𝙤 (@ElectricKucing) reported

    with, prepared to destroy anything that might prove to be an annoyance or cause her trouble. Though one day, it might be her downfall. But still, then, she's prepared to betray the ones she used to care about and make sure overwatch stays gone at all costs, even if she has to

  • b1adewo1f64 b1adewo1f (@b1adewo1f64) reported

    Technically, overwatch is already a "live-service game", but I REALLY hope they don't take the "lets put in half-baked stuff every x amount of time" route

  • seanzcollins Sean Collins (@seanzcollins) reported

    A lot of pro players in other games often feel ignored by developers. Moments like that with Fortnite, CoD etc. and of course Warzone has no ranked mode an a cheating problem. Overwatch 2 having a pro-play focus is quite wild, at least enough that an early build is for pros.

  • HowZashar Zashar (@HowZashar) reported

    @JaneRomero_ I don't know anything but I can take a wild gues. For the first one, I don't think that you will lose MMR over time. Similar and my Problem with Overwatch. Second depending on which Killer we get they take some Datas of similar Killer. So you won't be a noob slaughter.

  • jacobian2000 Midnightarcher (@jacobian2000) reported

    Ayo @Blizzard_Ent FIX YOUR SPAWN POINTS IN OVERWATCH, MAKE SIGMA A LITTLE FASTER, AND HAVE A BARRIER FOR THE DEFENSIVE AREA SO WE DONT GET SPAWN CAMPED

  • crazypokemo tooru (@crazypokemo) reported

    @A_Vermillion_ @SMTDrifter Because it only happens with overwatch meaning overwatch is the game that is the problem so I can guarantee thousands of other people have had the same issue

  • femboycytus adam (@femboycytus) reported

    alright so apparently im meant to play from home since im on reserve, problem is, i cant play overwatch at home

  • C0RPSESUS xanndra 🔪 HDB! near u! (@C0RPSESUS) reported

    ok brain is broken because i woke up with a random urge to play overwatch and now i'm thinking minecraft????

  • sageartt sageartmfp (@sageartt) reported

    @artemmys_ow @OWAnonymous_ In a game like Overwatch, being able to blind a player(s) would be so broken

  • TheLoveDuckie LoveDuckie (@TheLoveDuckie) reported

    @Haezurath The problem with games like Overwatch or CSGO is that they're very competitive, demanding, and you run the risk of ending up in a game with someone verbally abusive when you're already in a fragile state of mind. Try something open world. Creative. PvE.

  • JediBob29 Jedi Bob is fully vaccinated!! (@JediBob29) reported

    Anything. No one has an issue with it but Batman have a d that’s the issue? FFS later in this book you can see Zatanas magical butt. It’s like how ppl were pissed at Overwatch Tracer (remember that). Female superheroes famously get basically lingerie for costumes and it’s dumb.

  • FnxMcnoob Alastair W. | McNoob (@FnxMcnoob) reported

    @shannonkeatingx your problem was loading up overwatch to begin with I think

  • Not_AbbeyC Definitely not Abbey (@Not_AbbeyC) reported

    @dahmagicman445 @LoverSilentHill I got my first two day ban for calling someone dogshit on Overwatch back in 2017 lmaoo. They were abusing the 3v3 snow map glitch where you could bug behind a wall and shoot outside but nobody outside could shoot you through.

  • saywhatlewiz Nova ⭑ (@saywhatlewiz) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Overwatch is good but it’s the incompetent teammates you get that ruin it. Yes, there are solutions to this problem but a mf can ruin your whole night

  • omegaboi6 kys_omega (@omegaboi6) reported

    @ZFYuki I played overwatch till I was like level 120 and didn’t have many problems and I have never played league, I will agree that gambit is bad but atleast you expect the eyes of tomorrow, truth, xenophage or scout, crucible tends to have new op weapons appear out of nowhere

  • TheSp00nIsALie TheSp00nIsALie (@TheSp00nIsALie) reported

    The current issues: Warzone's FrameRate drops but I feel like I should be able to run it I don't own the following; Millionaire Overwatch Minecraft Mario Kart/Smash (I don't own a switch) I can easily grab the 3 I don't have, but the need of a switch is kinda dooky

  • ilytimeless facebook.com/ilytimeless (@ilytimeless) reported

    Anyone think overwatch 2 will be a flop ? Are they gonna cater to high rank players only ? How will the point system be compared to the broken one now, so many good players stuck in “Bronze/silver Hell” .. get so mad thinkin about the game

  • Wushny1 Wushny (@Wushny1) reported

    Overwatch pls fix ur damn servers, I can live with 10+ min queue every game, but disconnecting me every 2 hours, losing the game and timing me out? **** off

  • FemaleOmori Female Omori - Hiki ♀️🔪 (@FemaleOmori) reported

    @lavendermarii Yeah, i'd agree with that, nothing wrong with having a high skill ceiling. I'm a casual though, so i stick to simpler games that just boil down to "gun go shoot lol" (see: Classic Halo), rather than stuff like Fortnite or Overwatch. No problem with Fortnite, just not my style.

  • balloomy KenzoFlex (@balloomy) reported

    To proof against other overwatch shitters. I play the game how i find it fun to play. With controller or xim it doesnt matter. If they eventually fix it that i would get banned well that it idc. Im just asking if u are a ximmer like me dont be a ***** and say nah im a controller

  • WutTheDeuce1 Ryan (@WutTheDeuce1) reported

    @PNDMustard team balance is def an issue with it. If MMR worked the way it is supposed to, one sided matches wouldn't be as common as they are. I've seen it time and time again. Overwatch, CSGO, Valorant, and 6v6 COD, it is very common to have ridiculously one sided ranked matchups.

  • Goddess_Azula 🔥FireLord Azula🔥 (@Goddess_Azula) reported

    @PolarBearZarya It's so boring to see avatar accounts, overwatch accounts and so on, and it's just all the girls being "broken down like the ***** they are" if you tried to dominate Azula or widow maker or Zarya they would literally ******* kill you

  • 037_ow 037 (@037_ow) reported

    @OW_SVB I have no idea how to fix these spaces, but I really do think that it plays into Overwatch's death spiral that the online spaces where players are supposed to gather to talk about the game are just inhospitable. More so if you have escaped the metal ranks.

    @Burnzy_97 Congratulations on missing the issue! Overwatch is developed by Blizzard Entertainment and Iron Galaxy, and published by Activision-Blizzard. If you financially support Overwatch, you are financially supporting the ghouls in charge at Activision-Blizzard.
