  • PapaPulse Pulse (@PapaPulse) reported

  • LinoYeen LinoYeen (@LinoYeen) reported

    Maxing out both my cpu and gpu and still no random shut off so yee think it is fixed even streaming to both the testing for twitch test servers and recording ( spectating a overwatch match ) without any issues maxed out my cpu and still am at 0.0% dropped frames. )

  • OWAnonymous_ Overwatch Anonymous (@OWAnonymous_) reported

    Console Overwatch needs to add mouse and keyboard compatibility so they can detect users and turn off aim assist. It’s already a problem in high elos and I have no problem playing against mnk users, but the advantage of aim assist on console WITH mnk is just unfair.

  • beepzeep Bzeep (@beepzeep) reported

    @LanoomAES I haven't played overwatch in years so my question is why is balancing such a constant issue for the game...... I can tell you what symmetra did in like 2016 but they've balanced and rebalanced her so much since then that I legit don't know what she does now lol

  • ashdeezttv ashdeez (@ashdeezttv) reported

    @PlayOverwatch has a problem: no women are in the Overwatch League. I'm not good enough, but I'm sure some are. If this can't be fixed, I'd like to see some separate OWL sponsored events for women. #Overwatch #Blizzard

  • RenOrRaven the gyarados of hot women (@RenOrRaven) reported

    @ckunzelman one time, in college, i popped in to watch my university's competitive overwatch team at our esports facility. they got rolled. i turned to everyone around me and went "Hey, do you understand the sport you are watching" and it was all "No's." idk how you fix that.

  • Spoopy_Raven Spooky Raven (@Spoopy_Raven) reported

    I spent a week pissed that overwatch VC was broken only to find out i had mute game voice chat on

  • ELDEFENSOR44 Defen (@ELDEFENSOR44) reported

    So yeah, Paladins is still far from playable. Tried it yesterday when Overwatch was being DDoS attacked Couldn't play anything other than Betty and Drogoz cuz the framerate is still garbage for some reason. When I tried playing Lex we got trolled Kinessa is ***. Far from saving

  • TapiTeaTTV Tapia Elayne (@TapiTeaTTV) reported

    @Lord_Vermire My overwatch is BROKEN

  • PS_Tweets PSqueak (@PS_Tweets) reported

    all team based games have to deal with the problem of "very few people want to be the support role", & every game deals with this differently, i find fascinating only Overwatch was the one game to get their meta and queue system absolutely demolished by being unable to solve it.

  • zoppletee Zoppletee (@zoppletee) reported

    @LotusOfDoom @Cryptic_Moogle I actually was on a team and overwatch and was kicked for being "toxic" since it didn't have a coach and I would genuinely question the leader to see if they understood why certain comps worked and offered ways to fix what we ran. Really really made me not happy.

  • ritzzcar ritz (@ritzzcar) reported

    @gomaitru @spikedontmiss Thanks for sending me the proof. No one aims like that, 3 key frames and a stick on the final frame? Naw, aim always goes through an overcomp. I've reviewed over 900 overwatch cases in CSGO and I've never had an error in 6 years. I'm sorry, but I don't play with people who associ

  • Daisy_Blades 🌼Daisy (@Daisy_Blades) reported

    @overwatch please don't touch super jump. It's perfectly fine the way it is ;-; maybe fix her buggy rez tho. have a nice day

  • WildBoyFriend Best Boyfriend (@WildBoyFriend) reported

    I have a feeling f*gs are bothering a few of you girls so I'll be on overwatch tomorrow. Some f*g is tryna ddos me right now (with typical f*g lack of success) so im working on that rn.

  • LaminatedSpirit LaminatedSpirit (@LaminatedSpirit) reported

    @westjett1 Powercreep exists. If they released a broken agent and then buffed every other agent to match their level every time, this game would become Overwatch No **** it was more fun for you Jett/Chamber instalocks, you were playing busted characters. It wasn’t fun for anyone else

  • WajeehAlawfi wajeeh Alawfi (@WajeehAlawfi) reported

    @RocketLeague Hi rocketLeague i have problem when im playing a game my ping go up to 800-900 and I don’t have any problems in my internet then i go to play overwatch there’s no problem form the ping doesn’t go up My ID in PS4: heema222 My ID in Epic Games: Atomica-YT

  • GwenDRenee Corvana (@GwenDRenee) reported

    @restokin This is fantastic listening. I didnt know the game had accessibility problems, but it's good that they're addressing it instead of ignoring it. Hated that Overwatch, for example, took years to add captions in a game where sound has strategic value.

  • Cleopatra_OW Jonathan (@Cleopatra_OW) reported

    @elonmusk So when will you fix the ridiculous high pings? I can’t even game on overwatch peacefully. Why even advertise it as “low latency” in the first place -_-

  • Crownzy__ Crownzy (@Crownzy__) reported

    @PlayOverwatch why does a 700HP tank have the ability to one shot any squishy target with little effort. The changes to his ultimate were great, but he fundamentally drags the same issues into overwatch 2 while making it harder for him to get punished with a higher health pool.

  • TheSilver189 TheSilver189 (@TheSilver189) reported

    Are people having connection problems or something in Overwatch right now? Or is everyone throwing because I had already 3 games in a row where people "DC'ed" on a losing fight or match.🙃

  • ayo_icebear bear. (@ayo_icebear) reported

    overwatch 2 bad because theres no naked mercy glitch

  • SpectreBull Ty Richardson (@SpectreBull) reported

    @JezCorden Not sure how you face an identity crisis when you're repackaging the previous game with one new hero and shifting the lighting of pre-existing levels. Seriously, how has Overwatch not turned into a free-to-play live service?

  • Goldenreapereye Golden Eye (@Goldenreapereye) reported

    @EGO14_OW @Synovus_ @OWAnonymous_ Not true they themself had said tank is the core problem that’s why they removed a tank in Overwatch 2 they tank it fixes things. Also zen is not overpowered but I agree that bap and brig are

  • dj_ni_r 逆Я | Dj tuteyishi (@dj_ni_r) reported

    The loss streaks followed by win streaks mixed up with a few fair matches is the worst thing about #overwatch. I think matchmaking is overwatch’s main problem. If they don’t change the system to make matches fairer, where even if u lose u don’t feel as bad, new content won’t help

  • Andromyda_ andromyda ♥ (@Andromyda_) reported

    So! The cat is out of the bag. Tomorrow I'll be playing the Overwatch 2 beta with @DeroculousRybex starting at my normal time! Random overwatch heroes and general tomfoolery. I may not be able to stream because of technical issues :( But stop by his channel if you want to hang!

    @dragon02836462 @WildFotos @iiNyquist -sthetic change, which of course you guys don't think is a big deal but in the long run it can cause aesthetic issues and turn off a majority of the playerbase, just look at Overwatch 2. All for a ******* search bar you dyslexic ******* can't deal with 💀 just look it up
