  • zachary_hl zaxx (@zachary_hl) reported

    Thinking of putting Overwatch on haitus until OW2 releases if the rumors of a 2022 delay are true. The problem though is what do I replace it with? Another FPS? Something new? The options are vast that it's overwhelming.

  • techboy04gaming youtube.com/techboy04gaming - Im funny I think (@techboy04gaming) reported

    I dont like Overwatch as much, hasn't been that much fun to me, but I gotta give credit to @SaltyPhish, @sleepy, @andrew_jrt and all other youtubers who still make OW content for making the game more interesting and entertaining even tho at this point its either broken or dead <3

  • Cinque92946004 Manu Gm (@Cinque92946004) reported

    @N30o_ @PaladinsGame Thats the biggest error ever,in overwatch who has more shields wins, now in paladins they are doing the same thing that condemned overwatch to death, but there is one thing yet, wrecker will be buffed! So bye bye pocket torvald

  • monsterwives medieval cyber cafe (@monsterwives) reported

    I am going to draw winston overwatch and he will fix every problem I have

  • pyromaniac1155 pyromaniac1155 (@pyromaniac1155) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN cant connect to overwatch game server (this only happens to eu server) and scan and repair doesn't fix it

  • IgnWorse What Ign Thinks Is Worse Than Overwatch (@IgnWorse) reported

    Do you guys have a problem with the fact that I post more movies than games? Because most of my recent 'is worse than overwatch' posts are from movies? Or is that OK?

  • CrossRaven CrossRaven (@CrossRaven) reported

    I wonder how they are going to fix that everyone loves Overwatch's characters, but hates playing Overwatch.

  • Faxxanadu_ Faxx (@Faxxanadu_) reported

    When you have a game that people often say "is balanced for high ranks but broken for regular players" you, in fact, have a terribly balanced game. #overwatch #blizzard

  • almightybidoof1 almightybidoof (@almightybidoof1) reported

    @TrashTastePod Overwatch made me realize I have a gambling problem. During the first anniversary event I spent probably around $500 in loot boxes. I guess I could’ve afforded it but man I wish I didn’t spend that much.

  • RafaCavalm Rafael Cavalcante (@RafaCavalm) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ ALSO there's an interview with Jeff from YEARS AGO where he says it won't happen because it would be terrible for Overwatch "as a live service", he told the story of when they did it during the beta and I don't need to have been there to know it was hell until the system caughtup

  • RBLeMoyne R. B. LeMoyne (@RBLeMoyne) reported

    Keeping up with chat isn't something I've had a problem with yet (still building that follower count!) but I know it'd be a challenge if I'm playing something that requires more focus like Overwatch. Maybe that's why I stick to the more chill and casual games?

  • omgitsmegannnn meg (@omgitsmegannnn) reported

    Are the ps4 overwatch servers down?

  • GaoRush Sneaky Stab Attack at the Start of the 2nd Round (@GaoRush) reported

    Overwatch's big issue with its characters is that there's just way too many and none of them have barely any reasonable amounts of lore or character to them

  • pixlttv pixl (@pixlttv) reported

    @motumbu22 @PlayOverwatch Overwatch will be fine. Destiny 1 had the same problem, it was a smaller playerbase and there wasn't any content whatsoever for a long time along with not even getting generally good reviews, now destiny 2 is one of the most played games on steam, and usually high on twitch too

  • lostyouthx myk (@lostyouthx) reported

    @SafeSpaceRetard @NVIDIAGeForce @Chris177uk same exact problem? I couldnt even navigate the menus in overwatch early cuz of constantly freezing

  • d_sebas4 𝘴𝘦𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘴🌈 (@d_sebas4) reported

    @Ajani_05 @_barajitas_ @PlayApex NO? I'm saying overwatch had a higher risk of failing with a deathmatch because the game has so many healers and like half of the roaster gets affected, but they still did it. Apex could easily solve the problem, Lifeline could just have her old passive back for solos.

  • renton577 Ren (@renton577) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix your trash tier matchmaking in #overwatch please.

  • xjessioux Jess 🌱 *commissions open* (@xjessioux) reported

    @laujen_ this is why i stopped playing recently :((( overwatch just doesn't have these problems

  • MelanieHawkins6 Melanie Hawkins (@MelanieHawkins6) reported

    @BlizzardCS Are there issues with servers in Overwatch still? No queue option, just not staying connected.

  • BeyondThMachina Beyond the Machina (@BeyondThMachina) reported

    Got overwatch for switch as a bday gift from my parents because my dad recalled I used to play OW a lot years back. I was very thankful & thought it might be fun to return to it. Sign in on switch, connect battlenet, & apparently I can’t transfer stuff from Xbox to switch :/

  • ZacRulzOK Zacaroni In A Pot (@ZacRulzOK) reported

    I can't get over that the team behind the beautiful crash remaster and the tony hawk remake is probably stuck working on ******* overwatch now

  • NMastur69 RC3 (@NMastur69) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN hey, my overwatch failed to connect to gameserver, but i can log in in battle agent without any trouble.. pls help. thnx

  • InariNine ⚜️ : ℑ𝔫𝔞𝔯𝔦 (@InariNine) reported

    Ok i know its weird to think about, but... what if overwatch ultimate cast time would be same time with like apex legends cast time ultimate like if u damage it wont get a progress; would it be useless or balanced or broken???? 💀 obviously it would be different for a character-

  • RavenousEyes Konchal Heera (@RavenousEyes) reported

    I feel like when they nerf an #Overwatch character, they’re punishing us for being good at the game. Granted some characters are just broken and need adjustments but still...

  • LyallDaly Lyall Daly (@LyallDaly) reported

    Can't login to #Overwatch That's my day ruined. #PS4 #Playstation

  • DruidTitan Ꮪᴀᴍᴀɴᴛʜᴀ S.| Gaia (@DruidTitan) reported

    @NeuroHeroine It was just your average Sunday night at Titans Tower. Overwatch was streaming and Sammy and Flora were taking a break from their ranked climb. She wasn’t sure what Flora was doing, but Sammy was on the lower level trying to fix the spotty wifi she’s had this whole time. “Aw-

  • MissingNerd MissingNerd (@MissingNerd) reported

    @MaddogCT @PlayOverwatch I'm using a 3 year old laptop and I can run this game on high 1080p 60fps no problem. Don't know what a "P4" is but it's gotta be pretty bad to fail running overwatch after optimization.

  • vulpixinite Madi 🖤✍️ #JUSTICEFORJOHNNYDEPP (@vulpixinite) reported

    Anyone else having issue trying to login into #overwatch on #PS4 ? Haven't touched the game in almost two weeks and now it's refusing to let me in 🥴 "LOGIN ERROR - Failed to connect to game server. Please try again later." #Blizzard @BlizzardCS help? 😬

  • Tnecwin The Hallow ten (@Tnecwin) reported

    @JonasPride @sRPlay1989 @gameinformer Well, yes and no. The issue with Lawbreakers releasing for 40 bucks was that it released at the height of overwatch. People had no reason to BUY a second hero based FPS. F2P could potentially have allowed it to take up the people that couldn't afford / didn't want overwatch.
