  @EmperorKermit @evolved117 most characters in Overwatch don't have sprint,just like most of them don't have any clamber-like abilities and it's irrelevant if it's part of the core or not,the real issue with it is that it has no actual purpose other than to copy what others are doing sprinting doesn't add

  @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

  why does overwatch constantly have the “the server closed due to an unexpected error” bug. FIX YOUR GAME PLEASE

  @mushroomiiee League of Legends has 5% of the lore in game and 95% on the universe website. Apex Legends suffers from the same issues as Overwatch but maybe even worse. It comes with the territory of the genre I'm afraid.

  Game is not optimized to this day and they barely work on fixing the balance issues. The only players were ex overwatch players who were playing it because they were mad with overwatch but now they're realizing that it's a **** game and it was never going to actually rival OW

  @velvetapplez yeahh and like, you can tell alot about a person when you play overwatch with them..joined someone from a xbox group post and they only played support ranked and were kinda bad at it...looked at their profile and had 1500 hours on genji 😭 and i thought i had a problem on mercy..

  @CarlHigbie One or two overwatch plinks would solve a lot of troubling issues.

  @bnpar26 @GagasLeftT0e It is a problem. DVA has been broken since the start of overwatch. She still is, she is after Freja the most banned tank in higher ranks

  @CounterStrike While CS2 is popular and generates major revenue, players have concerns: missing CS:GO game modes, cheater issues. Overwatch added 6 months ago but remains unclear. Ranked required major fixes after months. Slow development progress and a lack of transparency from developers.

  @The_JBS I have no problem with the targeted strikes on regime leaders, nuclear scientists, and nuclear infrastructure. Providing intelligence and overwatch with planes and ships.

  @yoshi12370 All those are big reasons why I stepped away from the game. The whole 2 year wait into overwatch 2 which was met with many many broken promises made me just not want to ever really play the game anymore. So sad because there was so much potential and I feel it will never be met

  @CounterStrike 1 of 10 players cheats in your game that means 1 cheater per game. GAME IS UNPLAYABLE. How to fix: 1. Bring back overwatch 2. Hire 30 people on minimum wage to be admins in games and overwatch people. 3. New anti cheat very intrusive we want just clean gameplay. 4. HWID Bans

  I need a Reinhardt or any other big buff tank main to play with me in overwatch it would solve my daddy issues

  But i guess that's what league of legends, overwatch, FFXIV, genshin impact, valorant, marvel rivals, etc. is for. I think live service and indie games just fill in the holes now. But people are tired of live service.

  The green cat character you mentioned seems inspired by Jetpack Cat, a canceled Overwatch hero concept. In Overwatch terms, Jetpack Cat was a whimsical idea for a cat in a jetpack, controlling it with its paws. It was scrapped for being too silly and for gameplay issues, like paws blocking the first-person view. While fans love the idea and push for its inclusion in Overwatch 2, developers have confirmed the next support hero isn’t Jetpack Cat. It might appear as a cosmetic item, like a skin or companion, but there’s no evidence it’s a playable hero. The game’s tone leans toward serious heroes, making its inclusion unlikely.

  @KurtJP35 I can a guarantee they saw the success of Overwatch since this happened in 2017 and pivoted because of that. They truly are scared of doing their own thing and would rather chase trends in service of making more money
