  Streaming some new Twitter for an error on Overwatch's 1st Birthday?! (Speculation)

  @farmtradedavy @FMCANZ @matthew_sparke Overwatch has been the interesting one here in WA. Lots of talk and findings no one could of expected and/or explain so far especially after all the rain here. FMC seem to be on the front foot. They're finding issues they haven't found before. Big learning curve ahead!

  @CSGO Maybe making an anti cheat that actually works and overwatch not getting spammed with spinbots which should automatically get banned. Boom I fixed your problem since the first day of counter strike (more than 9 years) THANKS

  You know, there are some games that can easily improve their player base if they did these changes, such as: Fortnite - remove building in general Valorant - one life...yeah no Overwatch - Fix rank, like if someone is stuck in the same rank for a year, give an extra multiplier

  @CardboardTier Figure out what is causing me to lag like all hell before I start streaming again. Teleporting randomly in overwatch is painful and lag during a fighting game is a no go.

  @YourOverwatchYT I will say this, article is written by someone who is vaguely aware of what happens in overwatch but doesn't quite get the issues. I don't everyone crying about cast diversity, I'm a minority and like 2 years ago I thought this was one of the most diverse set of characters I'd-

  I hate how Overwatch/Blizzard will penalize you on comp because their servers just crash for no reason. It didn't have to be a dead game but it is. Blizzard ruined Overwatch

  I’m so ******* tired of this **** like I’ve spent numerous DAYS trying to figure out what the gd problem is whether it’s my internet Xbox servers Overwatch servers Alex servers my router like whatever is causing this bull **** and I’ve just gotten NOTHING!! Nothing I do works!

  I wanna play overwatch so bad omg I have a problem

  Citz (@CitzYt) reported 35 minutes ago

  I’m quitting brawlhalla, bad game (IMO) with constant broken metas every patch and a toxic community, only good thing in this community is the art, I don’t even play anymore, I’m moving onto DragonBall Fighterz, Apex, and Overwatch. Thanks for the views but bye, boring game.

  @KaliSniper @YourOverwatchYT @SodaKulak 1. It is possible that there might be different attitudes towards minorities in different cultures. "China doesn't have it, so how could it be a problem in Overwatch" is faulty logic. 2. Remember male Korean players bullying Geguri for being too good at aiming? I remember.

  @YourOverwatchYT I guess my issue here is just why you would read that article and instantly come away with "they're trying to blame white men for Overwatch's failures" and not "wow this person really doesn't understand Overwatch's failures/what led to them" which was me on my initial read lmao

  @glaceiai @Harshhhly @Tashi343i Overwatch isn’t a fair comparison. Halo is all about being glued to your target for short bursts, but also has limited constraints due to map sizes. Having the aim assist to offset the KB+M glue issue as well as being able to play a much higher sens than normal just isn’t fair.

  @TheYakate @llovelyy_ Nope. Overwatch is broken by design and cannot be a well made game. Hero switching just doesn't work and it forces a lot of bad game design to accommodate for it.

  overwatch is the source of all my issues i swear 😒

  WakeTheNexus (@NexusWake) reported 49 minutes ago

  It’s sad to see just how much hate the players of @overwatchleague get for a loss or one missed play. However, it isn’t surprising because @PlayOverwatch has a horrid toxicity issue that they refuse to adequately combat. #overwatch #pathetic

  Oops McScoops (@oopsthatismine) reported 49 minutes ago

  I don't want to quit CS. I love this game to pieces. But it's so frustrating to play and there's genuinely no good reason why you haven't fixed Overwatch or implimented a good anti-cheat yet. Stop spending all your time on ******* cases and half-fixes and really fix the damn game

  You know #Ninjala can improve if the criticism and problems being addressed come off as actual criticism and not excessive whining. It's the reason tenchi is not as good as it use to be because some people from the overwatch community cried about being tenchi'd

  @elenipoo If they give you any trouble challenge them to a game of overwatch!

  Gio (@GioS7N) reported 51 minutes ago

  Every other game had something you can look forward to, overwatch is dry for over a year with no content or meaningful changes/improvements and we are supposed to believe a sequel that will release in the future will somehow fix what's wrong with the current game.

  Adam (@Kingofcastles88) reported 52 minutes ago

  Well, that was a stream, but it happened never the less. I'm thinking Thursday at around 7 PM we do this again only on Overwatch and with a lot less technical issues.

  My Xbox has officially become useless. I have had extreme latency issues for the past several days and no matter what I try it doesn’t get fixed, which means I can’t play Overwatch or Apex, my two favorite games! With my loaded accounts full of stuff from years of playing! ****

  Dr. Guillermo Gonzalez (@Yawaru) reported 55 minutes ago

  @RochTheShaman @Grummz The idea is Blizzard would have never gotten a taste of the Live Service gimmick, which gave them a taste for recurrent revenue streams, and they’d have stuck to niche genres. Overwatch might never exist and Titan could exist instead. Money changes corporations same as people.

  @MrOkami_7 The issue might be that I get D-stroid by peeps using KBM lol. This happened when I tried to play Overwatch.

  @VoicingDragoon7 How to fix overwatch 2: Remove the PVP modes all together. Game is immediately better.

  ocaritna (@ocaritna) reported 58 minutes ago

  Another thing that if I played a bunch of overwatch or genshin impact (non steam games) the problem NEVER occured. The issue seems linked to Steam apps only.

  @BlizzardCS Still cant buy lootboxes on overwatch. Working on a fix? Gives error code and link to this twitter

  “you should smile more” (@florezcarloz99) reported 1 hour ago

  Overwatch really needs to fix teams in ranked when someone leaves the match in a team. Like just add someone else to even it out because it’s literally not fair when it’s 6 v 3. Like?
