@yes__lad @ShadeGaming8 @CTZNr6 Compare that to Overwatch where a bad Reaper is still going to give Winston major issues the whole match cus it’s ACTUALLY a direct counter.

@BioClay88 @PlayOverwatch I don't think Overwatch, Christmas skins, BLM, Pronouns, and whatever else you hate is a big picture problem. I think it's just a you problem. You're the problem. Accept it then grow up or you'll just continue to be a hate filled *******.

All Overwatch needs to do to fix the double barrier meta is make more tanks that make space as efficiently as Sigma with tiny to no shields.

I can watch Twitch streams on my PC while playing games like Overwatch and Destiny 2 no problem. But if I try and watch a stream while playing the steam version FF7, the streams are constantly lagging and buffering. Like wtf?! I don't understand

First Cyberpunk 2077 glitch that actually pisses me off: Overwatch, the sniper rifle given to me by Panam, ******* DISSAPEARED FROM MY INVENTORY during a cutscene. Replaced by a bloody shotgun. Unbelievable

Yaaaarp... all these "request timed out"s on my tracert to Blizzard's LA servers would seem to indicate that my ISP is having problems with them again. Only impacts Overwatch. I picked a great day. ...but I might hit up some Spellbreak, and the plan is still Doom Eternal later.

—I’m not getting call backs. So... if anyone wants to help, I’m stuck at home with cosplay, wigs, lingerie and more at my disposal. I’ve got a laptop that can handle things like Overwatch and Among Us, I’m offering dates and such for low prices if anyone can help pay to fix—

Is there anything that would cause Overwatch to keep matching me with European players causing constant lag? It's been bad lately, 4/5 games have me hopping around. Easter isn't for a few months guys. @PlayOverwatch

@unholyenema @Berns_ow @SamitoFPS I’m okay with increased the level required the problem is that overwatch in QP and Comp is fundamentally different. So you spend 25+ hours learning **** not to do in comp. people still haven’t unlearned ****, strategies and qp nonsense. Meanwhile we are here complaining about-

I have no clue why but today suddenly Overwatch (through Lutris) was giving me like 5 frames of input lag, that turned out to be video lag. I've had this problem before with Satisfactory, and I solved it by disabling the window compositor. However...

@theezmoney_ @picpoocc @Halo i agree but every game does that it’s cosmetics like overwatch, cod, halo does that too with the mcc it’s just not as expensive as fortnite that’s the main issue that it’s so expensive not they have it

@Treyarch Ads ranked, dial back sbmm. Easy fix. Do what overwatch, siege, etc. does because it works.

@MrForgotten4 @manyado99 @back4blood If all characters have an equal amount of pros, it'd be no problem, just as long as it doesn't turn out like Overwatch where nobody wants to play Mercy or something lol.

@PushDustIn - Doom/Halo/TF2/Overwatch (video game all-stars w/o an FPS makes no damn sense) - Dr. Robotnik (unlike Sonic's friends, he's been around since day 1 and starred in the movie) - Crash (Activision's been pushing him for a while)

@Berns_ow @SamitoFPS If I had to make a suggestion, the problem isn’t hero balance it’s the fact that players don’t know how to play overwatch.

@Yelllowjacket2 @EskayOW Okay true. League has over 100 heroes, the same ban system for Overwatch would be more fatal. But it also would still be a great way to deal with broken heroes. While the devs are working on balancing the game out, the community can just ban them in ranked.

@Flats_OW It’s nice to hear top Overwatch players/streamers actually discuss issues rather than just yell about them for 30 minutes and cry until a change happens.

@TBs4g4 @MattyElmy @PlayOverwatch i think the main problem (at least in my opinion) is that there is already a mei Christmas skin (Mei-rry). Im not complaining that my main doesnt have a christmas skin, but it would be nice if all of the overwatch heroes had a skin for every event
