  • BloodyPikachuuu ⚡️BloodyPikachuuu⚡️ (@BloodyPikachuuu) reported

    Same **** with Overwatch, you'll never catch me on Overwatch 2 but I'm not gonna storm into somebody's Overwatch stream like, "Hey! This isn't right!" I literally do not ******* care. You're allowed to not like something without making it everyone else's problem

  • Fodimin Fodimin (@Fodimin) reported

    I feel like every Overwatch hero is added to (poorly) fix a problem or add some counters, but what was the point of adding someone with Sojourn's moveset? It solves no problems in fact it creates like 10

  • spacedvermin spacedvermin (@spacedvermin) reported

    @WhaleOil2 Lower ranks of the Overwatch even use preexisting human firearms as standard issue, like the smg, pistol and shotgun. I think the Combine prefer to use their vassal's own existing tech to police them and only iterate on/upgrade it when necessary.

  • onepichu850 OnePichu850 (@onepichu850) reported

    I've started playing Overwatch 2 and have quickly realized how nervous I get when trying to actually play the game Like, I'll sign in, train for a bit, maybe learn a new character, start matchmaking and suddenly my brain goes, "You'd be detrimental to your team" Like goddamnit

  • StartouchSavior Jason (@StartouchSavior) reported

    @Sugarfxck_ Mine never update either then overwatch starts crashing and it takes me days to remember that is the problem every time.

  • Fodimin Fodimin (@Fodimin) reported

  • Kkkeggg Kegg 👾 (A Swell Fellow, Happy and Hopeful Arc) (@Kkkeggg) reported

    Open queue in overwatch shows how broken tanks are, they should be tanky not big dps

  • NerdKatGaming NerdKatGaming (@NerdKatGaming) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hi, I have a problem which isn't that big so if it doesn't get fixed it's fine but it's annoying. So there was a campaign on Twitch for Overwatch 2, watch 4 hours and get the "Moira Mask Dancer Skin" and I claimed it but it's not available on my game.

  • marriottpanic captain bree ! 🍇🐷🎗🌌 (@marriottpanic) reported

    I have such a Problem since if I see someone with a skin I love In overwatch I’ll be admiring it half the time instead of fighting 😭

  • Louis_morgan20 Louis ! (@Louis_morgan20) reported

    Hog is nerfed but I can’t even play overwatch because my computer is broken:(

  • CipherOfTheSky weaponized cringe (@CipherOfTheSky) reported

    @MXMEATY Though arguebly Overwatch has even less civilised people then Valorant for example so there's that issue xr

  • Miguel_Fonseca7 Miguel Fonseca (@Miguel_Fonseca7) reported

    @kingcaseymma Crash? Woman what that's waaaaay to PG for you I suggest overwatch and just talk a bunch of crap believe me someone will reply

  • SenninSage SenjutsuSage (@SenninSage) reported

    @ethunderx @CMAgovUK @EU_Commission Anyone who claims Playstation can't compete without Crash, Diablo, Overwatch, or Call of Duty is completely uninformed, just plain dumb, or is lying their *** off. There is no in between. And Playstation wouldn't ever lose Overwatch or Call of Duty. And it's getting Diablo IV.

  • K100DR_alpha Cassandre Alpha (@K100DR_alpha) reported

    @FriedrichMirle @LivFaustDieJung @thinkdefence If you want silent overwatch, you need to run on batteries. If noise and thermal signature would not be an issue, you could ofc run on APU. Still, there is only so much fuel any UGV can carry... A human may still keep watch while starving and thirsty. A machine, absolutely not

    @fxshaw It's not alone Call Of Duty. -What will happen to WoW, Diablo, Crash Bandicoot, Overwatch, Spyro, Warcraft, Etc? -Don't you get the 24 current studies? -They don't measure up? -What will happen to Doom, TES, Fallout, Rage, Redfall, Starfield? You do not deceive anyone. MONOPOLY

  • KishoBoop Kisho (@KishoBoop) reported

    Overwatch is the most fun topic to discuss because all you do is complain x character is broken and x character needs a buff

  • rebootednoahx 𝕟𝕠𝕙𝕒 (@rebootednoahx) reported

    @topfragsage -has broken 2 controllers bc of overwatch

  • ilovurmom69 hailey ! (@ilovurmom69) reported

    blizzard fix the ******* ranked system in overwatch challenge

  • moirasimp spagetti o'deorain (official) (@moirasimp) reported

    And this is NOT the issue with my internet. Other players who use wifi also have the same problem. Plus i play high speed games like overwatch and apex without any problem

  • weaselcheez Weaselcheez (@weaselcheez) reported

    @OWCavalry I would say no, for games where a competitive match can take extremely long it makes sense, but Overwatch matches are generally pretty short in the grand scheme of things, and it would cause more problem's than it's worth

    facilities. Luckily they are not far from the new Overwatch base, where she has more equipment. " I can deal with a broken arm easily, but I won't risk flying us out, because I cannot stabilise it. For now, this should keep the pain at bay, and I'll help you walk. " --

  • imdoingheroin hopthekid (@imdoingheroin) reported

    blizzard has ruined overwatch to my personal breaking point bro. it’s literally anti-fun. the matchmaking is so garbage. today was my breaking point and i uninstalled it and unless they fix the game i’m never touching that piece or **** again

  • JesseIsAlright Jesse James (@JesseIsAlright) reported

    Constantly getting “Lost Connection To Game Server” on Overwatch 2 on XBOX. Anyone else experiencing this issue? It’s been a week and half and I’m still getting booted from games. Isn’t my network. Isn’t my console. #Overwatch #Xbox @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS

  • MonadoJoJo Mona (@MonadoJoJo) reported

    First Overwatch tweet in a while but anyone who thinks "Sojourn is only busted in high tiers of gameplay" and "MERCY AMP IS THE PROBLEM!! SOJOURN IS FINE AND BALANCED" are the single most stupidest brainless people you could possibly listen too imo

  • kkurabins ero 🎧 (fan account) (@kkurabins) reported

    are the overwatch servers just down or is my switch broken? ? i queued for a comp game, it said I got in, stayed on the “game found” screen for a minute and said I was suspended?? what an odd and silly game

  • pulse_rifle Unofficial Soldier's Heavy Pulse Rifle (@pulse_rifle) reported

    @SamitoFPS Genuinely so sad to see the state of WZ. OW2 has issues of course but they kept the gun feel - which was iconic. WZ 2 map is too big, gunplay is too slow, movement is slow, gulag sucks, loot is harder to see and understand. I think with Overwatch, if you go back to 2017 patch-

    /:/ Hear me out, Hear me out just this one time What if Tek is like Sombra from Overwatch He can hack systems with no problem and become invisible, at least temporarily

  • DevinPeirce2 Kryonik Gaming (@DevinPeirce2) reported

    @Ricar_Dom3 @blametruthyt I didn't say gaming was dying I said the FPS genre itself was dying. There is a difference. Halo and BF2042 are dead and they came out a year ago. Apex, WZ and Overwatch suffer from content and balancing issues or bugs. Fortnite as a whole is the best shooter right now.
