    @slodr4wzstuff No problem! I will genuinely try and explain overwatch at some point

  • ethan_tesfaye E-Dog🦉 (@ethan_tesfaye) reported

    @OmarNotMyName @leahcrete That’s understandable, I’ve had issues with that myself! I’ve not played Overwatch so I can’t comment on that experience but I do agree with your point that the solo queueing is harder in this system (how it should be)! One thing Respawn can do is put a multiplier on -

  • fortnite_onion .50 cal (@fortnite_onion) reported

    @pinkertons that was probably my biggest issue with overwatch map design was how so many places only had one entrance you were forced to push through it felt rly dumb especially with all the splash stun slow aoe cc stuff in the game

  • Proto_VI Proto VI (@Proto_VI) reported

    @BioClay88 @PlayOverwatch I mean I haven't really seen anything from the Overwatch Team where they haven't really broken their promise on stuff.

  • scouttrooperman sturmtruppenman waiting for 24th of may (@scouttrooperman) reported

    @waefrebeorn and than you guys wonder why people like me say you guys are no better than the overwatch fandom. you literally think harassment is the only way they'll acknowledge a problem and than calls me soft because i'm siding with the dude who saw this first hand. stop

  • thegothking Zaelkrie 🇿🇦 (@thegothking) reported

    @cyberdeathninja I wouldn't say more successful League is by far the best in it's genre and while Valorant might have its problems at least it's not Overwatch, even it's auto-chess is probably the best at what it does even though I don't really like it.

  • Flomerboy Ryan Mather 🌿✨ (@Flomerboy) reported

    @NyanSox I think this is just because people are used to overwatch 1, it’s like a car you have had for 8 years vs a car you just bought that has a different feeling steering and breaks. Doesn’t make it a bad car. Especially when the old car had major issues.

  • BJW_Gaming 🎮 Billy_J_Watson 🎮 (@BJW_Gaming) reported

    The only game I find trouble streaming constantly is Genshin cause that Resin system makes that stream only last 2 to 3 hours before immediate Burn Out. I will come back to DBD and Overwatch and Paladins, and all the other games I love.

  • FatalDesiire 13 (@FatalDesiire) reported

    @zzzelika I developed mental issues bc of overwatch !!

  • cassidyluvr 🪷hanamura's finest🪷 (@cassidyluvr) reported

    @RReapermain absolutely no problem!! sick of people being allowed to exist in the overwatch community while making **** like this

  • AndarielOW andariel ☆ (@AndarielOW) reported

    @niyoray @HoshizoraOW see the difference is that in overwatch 2 genji is broken and mercy is ****

  • IndigoBlooper Indigoblooper (@IndigoBlooper) reported

    Was watching lazypurples "how it feels to play" video series again last night before i went to be and that coupled with stuff ive heard lately about overwatch/ow2 has me like Really wishing TF2 didnt have the whole issue of the community youd have to deal with in pubs

  • vxncere v ೃ࿔ (@vxncere) reported

    me sitting here staring at my overwatch login menu at 2975 sr contemplating if i should get into a game to try for diamond or to wait

  • Laroarmay Sam L | Post Consumer (@Laroarmay) reported

    @bebopally Every time a studio rebalances its game around the "competitive meta" it's pointless. Comp players will *always* find a broken meta, all you're doing is killing fun for the much larger casual player base. Overwatch killed the whole game that way

  • Foolspeare formerly Gwyndylan (@Foolspeare) reported

    @peter_dozal @TechVolt717 @OWAnonymous_ I’m not saying you’re wrong but the issue is, that’s how casuals have always seen Overwatch and that’s a big reason the game fell off so completely even without new content. 80-90% of the player base will always be metal ranked. Game still has to be fun for them.

  • IFOnlyYT IFOnly COMMS OPEN 0/5 (@IFOnlyYT) reported

    God I want to make overwatch friends so bad man. I love that game so much, and I just want to be able to have other fans that I can play with. Obviously I'd need to be able to vibe with them, but the problem is all my friends hate the game...

  • DeJaYWeJaY DeJaY💙💛 (@DeJaYWeJaY) reported

    @PixelTwitchTV @Kotaku Yeah, that's most likely the case, and I'll be honest I did forget how many characters Overwatch has. I think my issue is mainly something to do about how the slider is presented, in the image mainly, just doesn't sit right with me.

  • appleciderwitch cleric hypebeast (@appleciderwitch) reported

    Overwatch 2 HAS problems. It is Overwatch 1 but WITH UNFIXED ISSUES. I've BEEN saying this! Adding comp to beta isn't going to help, you are just putting off your own burnout again. This game HAS to be tested and made w/o worrying about content creators.

  • moodotsuki 💮 thighs lizard 🔪 (@moodotsuki) reported

    Overwatch's training range is so *** bro it ****** sucks !!!!!!!! fix this **** in the sequel to your bad game . I demand it

  • SlynessNFT Slyness🧪 | 69God.eth (@SlynessNFT) reported

    @ggDaydreams Used to compete back in the day mostly fps CSGO/OVERWATCH/APEX. But due to financial issue i had to sold it so it's been roughly 3 or close to 4 years to not having any pc/laptop but soon🤞 hopefully I'll make some bag in the space and buy me a new pc that I've been craving for.

  • KA0STHE0RY_ 📌 commisions open (5/8) (@KA0STHE0RY_) reported

    this includes genshin impact, tf2, overwatch, apex, 95% of mobile games now days, literally anything with the intention of money towards a risk or reward situation in the form of boxes or pulls or some sort of event is ******* GAMBLING. YOU HAVE A GAMBLING PROBLEM.

  • VT5210 VT52 (@VT5210) reported

    Is it a CYBERNETIC AXE with a wooden handle??? Is it WiFi enabled? Will it stop being sharp if you don't update it? They literally went "well it's the future so it's gotta have a glowing light on it" this stupid axe symbolizes every problem I have with Overwatch's visual design.

  • cowboyparable 𝔩𝔞 𝔳𝔢𝔯𝔤𝔞𝔱𝔦𝔬𝔫 (@cowboyparable) reported

    remember when there was that big row abt how blizzard had handled the taiwan issue during the overwatch league? they disparage china in all these pernicious ways

  • bandicootpage CRASH BANDICOOT CLUBHOUSE (@bandicootpage) reported

    @MiKAuditore Nope dude this literally said Call of Duty, Overwatch and other popular based IPS if you actually bothered reading the whole blog. If you think they would make Crash and Spyro exclusive to Xbox and cause them to lose much growth then you`re out of your mind lmao

  • ConsortGaming Consort Gaming (@ConsortGaming) reported

    I know other Overwatch fans dont want to hear it but: Activision made your game. Blizzard is the logo they stuck on the front to get you to buy it. I'm still hoping they properly fix things for OW2 cause the game has potential, but any "Blizzard vs Activision" side-taking is -

  • Pickybusiness picky (@Pickybusiness) reported

    @PajamaPajamaPa2 @QuirkyCaprine @ChristinaTasty Overwatch was in its prime around that time though, money probably wasn't an issue if it would get the culture hyenas off their back

  • peachsunray iRachel (@peachsunray) reported

    @skiesti_ @HoshizoraOW I wouldn't let it get to you, the overwatch community is toxic and is even toxic to the people who created the game lol they are just entitled people with some deep deep issues, you good.

  • KNG_Aster KNG_Aster🌱 (@KNG_Aster) reported

    @Moss12Riley @OWAnonymous_ Why call only poki out so many other streamer got keys n there’s not part of the Overwatch community but no one seems to have a problem with them

  • KleenAustin KDA (@KleenAustin) reported

    I’m watching these OWL games and Sombra in OW2 is so ******* broken. Idk why every team is not playing her #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • SyncWeaver720 Sync Weaver (@SyncWeaver720) reported

    @delmontyb Well, in my experience with Starcraft, Overwatch and Lol, they either stopped the match or kept it going with no rank change. It's difficult to say how to resolve the abandoning issue in competitive games, but the team that has to stay shouldn't get penalized.
