  @CY4N4R4 I think that's one of my issues with Overwatch right now, there's no actual new content and I reached a point in my life where Skins don't matter to me and I hate the cash shop and how scummy it is, but at least Fortnite has new events and modes alongside is cash shop.

  @Rambo_Hair @GermanStrands that was hardly the issue, from what i saw the game itself ran fine. it was probably the most optimized hero shooter ive seen. very little problems. the biggest issue was character design, marketing and 8 years too late for hero shooters when Overwatch 2 fails to draw a crowd

  @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

  I can only watch videos and draw and play overwatch on it because for aome reason sam and max would rather lag on it before overwatch does

  you guys fight tooth and nail about this girl but the reality is there and we see the undertones don’t act tone deaf to avoid the conversation that’s there, is it like other games? no, but does overwatch have a problem with the way they do **** like this, YES.

  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.

  @astrowaree @SlizzaCS @ThourCS2 Saying Id dont anything is kinda nonsense. Premier has million times more cheaters. Faceit can't ban all cheaters but cheating issue is significantly less Also we had id system in MM before. The phone number. Valve removed it to help cheaters. Just like they removed overwatch

  @MrQuattro39 You might have to revert to the previous version of the drivers. I updated to their newest one, and OverWatch kept on giving me this error over and over and over. I rolled back my update, and the issue hasn't happened since

  @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..

  @pampurins i would say that its not really an issue... and that ive survived with a 90% heal reduction... but... overwatch is genuinely built differently and the hero design philosophy never supported cauterized healing, so i get it. it feels suffocating. idk how to help though

  @arceus227 @JunosHyperRing @PlayOverwatch Overwatch isn't fun, that's the problem, and como don't give you rewards, actual rewards for ranking up, the only progression is the battle pass, which if yo don't pay get nothing

  @Greenpig117 >overwatch players came over Bro we were there day 1😭😭😭 And ow players knew where problems might appear and were right. I want rivals to succeed long term but holy ****, not with this attitude

  @KUMA_BEARR @FroggerOW you never played the PVE Blizzard made that **** was garbage. Stadium is great but naturally has issues that will be fixed over time. people like you are the reason Overwatch still has a somewhat negative outside perception and ruin the fandom

  @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

  @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.
