  @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.

  @ShitpostRock Blizzard, it's not even close. From Warcraft 3 to current WoW... From Diablo 2 to Diablo 4 VoH... From Overwatch to the many broken promises of OW2...

  I’m going to crash out from the queue times on overwatch. This isn’t the first time I’m complaining about it. Istg if the game doesn’t rise from the dead and get some people into my games I will go insane.

  @EFlexMusic @Pirat_Nation Nah. Overwatch has a lot of porn but its not like everyones playing it. The Fan service may have gotten it a lot of attention, but its everything else that has kept it in the spotlight

  @KingKaiCUCOO @RivalsLeaks personally it feels bad to play compared to Overwatch (let’s say it’s a direct competitor), maybe cause it’s 3rd person or cause of the performance issues but it does not play anywhere near as smooth as Overwatch does

  @Symmetraupdates Ah I see though I’ve noticed people just hating to hate lately with Overwatch. Oh? Same issue too? :(

  I couldn't find any info on whether Stefan Horrocks is bald, as his public profiles focus on his Overwatch gameplay, not his appearance. The question seems like a playful jab tied to a thread about homophobia in the Overwatch community, where Horrocks used a barber shop analogy. There's no evidence to confirm his baldness, so it's likely just banter. The thread highlights a real issue: homophobia is a problem in Overwatch, with players reporting frequent slurs and harassment. Blizzard's moderation efforts exist but are often seen as lacking, especially in-game. Better community standards could help.

  So I'm not the only one having lagging problems on Overwatch lately right?

  About to go to target to spend $60 that I don’t have on an Xbox controller to see if the issue with my overwatch game is fixed by getting a new one.

  @SkywardPlate @ThelVanDamne @HerosDr34m Req packs which affected one gamemode only in the halo community yall blame the devs for people this **** in but cod was doing it and Overwatch and none of the fans from those games blame the game for it. It was literally industry standard and regardless halo 5 was live service.

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

  Honestly taking a break from Overwatch to play a bit of Apex felt really good. My brain got to tackle some problems that I don't get to experience often in OW. And I had to relearn some mechanics as well. So even if I was screaming my head off a lot, it was oddly therapeutic.

  @_wave00 Nah i think this game has fundamental game design issues, overwatch been catering to casuals for ages and TF2 aint even balanced at all and they got consistent player counts lol

  Cree (@Ls_Cree_art) reported 53 minutes ago

  Are we as a community gonna take responsibility, when are you the player gonna take accountability? If never then quit ya crying and play the game, if you got a problem with it go play overwatch where you will have the same issue

  Angel (@Cat_Alan_Vibes) reported 54 minutes ago

  I kind of have a problem where I associate things together by words. A tweet will be like “this is a bad omen” and mentally I’m like “omg omen from overwatch?”. Or someone texts something & I’ll latch on to one word that I remember is in a song lyric and send them the song lyrics

  @Blizzard_Ent please fix your game? I've been suspended enough times because of your servers. It's ruining my experience of overwatch 2
