Pandapeeps💜♠ (@Red_Panda_pants) reportedOverwatch could fix a lot of problems by making a random character op once a day and rotate them out so nothing gets stale and the meta is ever shifting.
-

bonnie qu (@bonniequeue) reportedi just reopened valorant for the first time in months and honestly, i think my problem is that i'm TOO skilled. apex and overwatch have made me so good at tracking moving targets that i can't hit shots on barely-moving enemies anymore. tragic but true :/
-
hal (@hal_v69) reportedhello smart people what is the average input lag / sim number in overwatch in games. because it feels like my game is mad sluggish. i get like 7 in fights in normal games and i get like 4 in deathmatch in queues and it feels 10x better

-
sylvia the sylveon (@SylviaCyborg) reported@pftjschut Ya its upsetting Strange thing with overwatch tho is people used to get banned for playing on linux using wine but blizzard reverted all the bans and now say that there is no problem with playing the game on linux So like at that point you should just port it right?
-

Zachary (@MorbidZach) reported@itshundredz Overwatches ranked system is just as broken as apex’s in my opinion. Could you elaborate on what u mean?
-
Overwatch News & Leaks (@LeaksOverwatch) reportedI'm facing some issues. Currently rewriting my program to extract the data out of the Overwatch patches. It might take some time. Sorry!
-

-
Done Heavens (@zackblast) reportedSo can y’all fix your game please? And stop trying to be like overwatch please? @PlayApex @Respawn y’all are doing a great job of losing your community I already know right off the bat 10 people close to me who have quit apex all together...keep it up lol.

Gux (@Gux_Valorant) reported@_PLAYERR1 The issue is you have overwatch installed and you're trying to play it. Games bad.
-
Liquid Mendo (@Mendo) reported@witmer Yeah same worries blizzard had, and so far it seems like ranked has only gotten worse ever since the first time a third party matchmaking service was attempted in overwatch I just want real competitive games, both as solo queue and 5 stack
-
⎛⎝ Lilith Eris ⎠⎞ (@LilithEris) reported@SooshiYEP I've replaced two mice now because they had a stupid grip on the side that was just glued on, so I finally bought one that didn't have the option to slide off and I 100% blame overwatch for my mouse grip problems
-
Phuture (@PhutureH) reportedWHY TF IS THERE NO MUTE ALL CHAT BUTTON IN #Overwatch ?!?!?!?!?! THIS WOULD LITERALLY SOLVE SO MANY ISSUES!!!!!!
-
матео (@droidnoise11) reportedgetting overwatch com problems so I'll step
-
François Godbout (@FranckyFox2468) reported@CrashBandicoot only reason i wouldve bought this version is if you gave Junkrat the trademark crash dance in overwatch. Even when a crash game is arriving on the blizzard platform you still do NOTHING with this (this and hogger's kit wouldve been perfect for crash in hots) :(
-
ᴍᴀᴛᴛ 🇵🇱 (@RealMattPL) reported@StandardBool @Slasher Well your friend has to either get better... or just play with him in quickplay. There is a deeper rooted issue with smurfs in Overwatch. Literally ruins chances for people naturally climbing to have a chance.
