    @93578896433k @megasshadic @WellAgedGaming Imagine acting like having less than 60fps is still a bad thing, I play Overwatch just fine on my xboxone S, would it be better if I had more frames, yes, but my Pc can barely run Minecraft at 30fps, and has frame drops that get me killed, never had a problem on me xbox however

    with, prepared to destroy anything that might prove to be an annoyance or cause her trouble. Though one day, it might be her downfall. But still, then, she's prepared to betray the ones she used to care about and make sure overwatch stays gone at all costs, even if she has to

  • Wushny1 Wushny (@Wushny1) reported

    Overwatch pls fix ur damn servers, I can live with 10+ min queue every game, but disconnecting me every 2 hours, losing the game and timing me out? **** off

  • FnxMcnoob Alastair W. | McNoob (@FnxMcnoob) reported

    @shannonkeatingx your problem was loading up overwatch to begin with I think

  • nanojiraTTV nanojira (@nanojiraTTV) reported

    @RSPN_JayBiebs It's starting to look like you guys are gonna pull an Overwatch where you develop yourselves into a corner that you can't get out of. Then there's all these other stability issues with the game. To someone like me it seems like your priorities are upside down.

  • Nixority Nix (@Nixority) reported

    Spellbreak broken, gunna do the damn thing with Overwatch tonight!

  • WestBrook___ 𝙍𝙐𝙎𝙎𝙀𝙇𝙇! (@WestBrook___) reported

    @OwDoopie @Kephrii I don't remember character models clipping through walls ever being this much of a problem in early Overwatch, so wtf happened.

  • Not_AbbeyC Definitely not Abbey (@Not_AbbeyC) reported

    @dahmagicman445 @LoverSilentHill I got my first two day ban for calling someone dogshit on Overwatch back in 2017 lmaoo. They were abusing the 3v3 snow map glitch where you could bug behind a wall and shoot outside but nobody outside could shoot you through.

  • 037_ow 037 (@037_ow) reported

    @OW_SVB I have no idea how to fix these spaces, but I really do think that it plays into Overwatch's death spiral that the online spaces where players are supposed to gather to talk about the game are just inhospitable. More so if you have escaped the metal ranks.

  • magnacraft Grunkle Dan (@magnacraft) reported

    Telling each other that this storm is gonna pass, that players are mad, but since we have the attention span of a goldfish things are gonna fix themselves in 1 to 3 years. What's 3 years of grumpy Warcraft and Overwatch players for a company that makes more money out of [...]

  • handclaw handclaw (@handclaw) reported

    @TheRedShirtGuy I believe this was more in reference to central story characters, like McCree in Overwatch. Background npcs are less problematic and can be easily changed. But with a character like McCree who has merchandise attached to them, it can cause far more trouble.

  • chuuorb hollie :3 (@chuuorb) reported

    @SkyUK pls i’m begging fix the wifi i wanna play genshin impact and overwatch 😭😭😭

  • WutTheDeuce1 Ryan (@WutTheDeuce1) reported

    @PNDMustard team balance is def an issue with it. If MMR worked the way it is supposed to, one sided matches wouldn't be as common as they are. I've seen it time and time again. Overwatch, CSGO, Valorant, and 6v6 COD, it is very common to have ridiculously one sided ranked matchups.

  • FemaleOmori Female Omori - Hiki ♀️🔪 (@FemaleOmori) reported

    @lavendermarii Yeah, i'd agree with that, nothing wrong with having a high skill ceiling. I'm a casual though, so i stick to simpler games that just boil down to "gun go shoot lol" (see: Classic Halo), rather than stuff like Fortnite or Overwatch. No problem with Fortnite, just not my style.

  • NoodleNecro NecroNoodle (@NoodleNecro) reported

    @SkaVorah @PlayOverwatch That's what overwatch 2 is for, I hope it doesn't disappoint. We all know that lack of content is the problem (because OW2 is being worked on) but the real issue is the lack of communication.

  • 300mgMDMAwario female to sigma male (@300mgMDMAwario) reported

    i had a dream that widowmaker from overwatch was just sniping into my house and shooting us and my dog ran out there and bit her. and she ziplined away. and then i got in trouble with animal control because my pit bull bit a woman even though she was trying to gun me down.

  • soxhawk Curt Rose (@soxhawk) reported

    The fact R6 let's you download full replays of your matches, broken down by rounds, with the ability to view everyone's perspectives and Overwatch has none of it is a crime. It can't be that hard to let people download these files.

  • Metaverz Flamis Clavis (@Metaverz) reported

    @chaffXgrenade @THMB69 ngl I kinda miss that the problem with it back then was (ironically) the oversaturation; now basically every shooter since Overwatch is overly colourful which in a lot of cases feels unfitting

  • balloomy KenzoFlex (@balloomy) reported

    To proof against other overwatch shitters. I play the game how i find it fun to play. With controller or xim it doesnt matter. If they eventually fix it that i would get banned well that it idc. Im just asking if u are a ximmer like me dont be a ***** and say nah im a controller

  • sageartt sageartmfp (@sageartt) reported

    @artemmys_ow @OWAnonymous_ In a game like Overwatch, being able to blind a player(s) would be so broken

  • StupidWes Wes Carlisle (@StupidWes) reported

    @Kitten0fDoom @MegaDinoSir Don't think this will impact smurfing but I do think it's a step in the right direction. I think a major problem for ranked is people not getting their roles and trolling, so a overwatch style Q could solve that where you can choose to only Q for one role but with a long Q time?

  • ryrybot RoboRyan (@ryrybot) reported

    Papa Johns is I have a problem I would love me in Overwatch time to uninstall again

  • saywhatlewiz Nova ⭑ (@saywhatlewiz) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Overwatch is good but it’s the incompetent teammates you get that ruin it. Yes, there are solutions to this problem but a mf can ruin your whole night

  • femboycytus adam (@femboycytus) reported
