@cabbagebrains especially team fortress. it's had the overwatch problem and hemorrhaged a playerbase over it already within its lifespan at least once

@itssekhmet @PlayOverwatch I'm just using common sense that's all which I do my research before I comment on stuff. The Overwatch devs are fully aware of people asking for content for awhile. If you still have a problem with that I suggest you block me if you don't like seeing me.

I think my graphics card or PC is dying. The error I saw on Sunday happened again, but I witnessed it this time while playing Overwatch instead of the computer being off. I'm thankful that this doesn't affect my art since I draw with my laptop, but this is still troublesome.

@SwissMadeFPS @Blizzard_Ent True but they might be issues harder to pinpoint and take action against, because of overwatch's inadequate report system. Some of the options are pretty much never used, while others are too vague and fit many possibilities, a revamp of the system would be greatly appreciated.

@NOVA_S118 @Big_E Sadly that won't fix it...especially not for pc. Look at games like cod, fall guys, overwatch. Cheaters are everywhere sadly. Kind of why I prefer staying on console most of the time. Cause damn it's bad with cheaters on pc.

i'm gonna pick on one of my favorite whipping boys of game design, Overwatch, because Blizzard basically can't stop faceplanting into this problem over and over again lol

@TheCartelDel Comes down to marketing budget. Realism is just an AD decision. A decision made in service of the specific game being made. Sure it can impact dev costs but that isn’t what makes a game AAA. Anybody going to tell me BotW or Overwatch aren’t AAA?

@TwoLiterSoda @TheActMan_YT He bought it off of stockx and has resold it because you can't make returns. it was overheating doing literally any task. It would have weird triggers in certain games that would crash it such as typing in overwatch chat or dumping large amounts of items into a minecraft chest

Its absolutely ******* disgraceful that in the Overwatch League, they will pause games for HOURS because of simple problems, but in Contenders, a team can't use their 5 minute pause to allow the enemy to reconnect to the lobby. Get your **** straight @owpathtopro

@TerryHB_ @ChaseIsSavage @TC_Shauny And this is the problem with TC and why Gears 6 will probably be a failure, in a COMPETITIVE playlist like every game out right now “COD, Apex, Valorant, Overwatch, etc” when you are highly ranked you literally are suppose to get longer q times it’s common sense

@Blizzard_Ent Your overwatch game can be *** sometimes like I would disconnect or the game would kick me out and I would 50 Sr when I didn't even choose to leave and I would join the game in the neck of time and you would still take my ******* points away your game is garbage

@chyld989 @Battlefield Idk, as a console player i dont think i had any problems finding a lobby, uk when we do now? With crossplay turned off, i wonder why lol. crossplay was ruined when pc users convinced devs opt out was the way to go. Apex and overwatch(minus no aim assist+region lock) did it right

The problem with multiplayer games like Overwatch, World of Warships, or Star Wars Squadrons is that I get distracted and don’t play for like six months and come back to find the meta’s changed and none of my builds or strats are viable anymore. :(

@TreyTheBanjoMan I have problems with everyone who doesn't know how to use their legendary constantly... If you're rev you better be ready to spam your ability whenever you have the chance... I play games like Overwatch, and R6S so I'm constant and know how to use every legend

--state of PvP is unrewarding to veteran players, and provides no reason for casual players to choose Destiny over something like Overwatch or Halo MCC. For instance, I'm not the most PvP centric player (my isp is garbage for decent PvP connection, so there's a lot of lag) but-

@nakamaraku @OWAnonymous_ Fun fact: at the beginning of overwatch, fan the hammer could headshot. McCree drop off was also broken and he could duel snipers at ranges he shouldn’t be winning.

@hyakushiki0087 I think my issues with older men started VERY tamely with McCree from overwatch. And then it was all down hill from there

@AsagiKurosagi It looks fun but I have genuine trouble believing it's an official game when stuff like the UI is 100% Overwatch. Looks sick though I want it to be real !
