  • qRezlp Hola, Amigo (@qRezlp) reported

    @KudosOnYT @Griefdrums LISTEN LISTEN. ITS COMING. On the PS5 after a match you can give them like idk a compliment like the same system in Overwatch. Idk if it was a glitch or something but it did give me the option

  • Divinity_xo 🎀 Divinity 🎀 (@Divinity_xo) reported

    Okie so I know my mutuals all play Overwatch... so is anyone else getting voiceline, spray, communication wheel/chat bugs? Voicelines sometimes don’t play, sprays make no sound, communication wheel voicelines (Hello, Group up, etc) sometimes not working. Is there a sound bug?

  • The_Hive_311 WattsonSimp (@The_Hive_311) reported

    I don't wanna hear Apex players talk about broken characters anymore when certain Overwatch characters exist 😤

  • manutururuuu A Patroa (@manutururuuu) reported

    Breaking news: Blizzard forgot about overwatch Christmas event and overwatch 2 at the same time, the only 5 players left in the game notice the problem and cry

  • bearosapien Bearosapien - COMMISSIONS CLOSED (@bearosapien) reported

    @YourCutestEnemy XD See, the thing is, when I first started Overwatch, I myself was a Bastion main. XD Hence the problem. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE

  • PostDData1 PostDData (@PostDData1) reported

    @GildasC @speedlapse @Pimp_CSGO Esports is totally different, the main reason why LoL is the best esport is because of you can find 5 major regions, and the main reason why Overwatch failed is because of they focused just in NA and maybe some KR. For you maybe not but for Valve losing NA is a big problem.

  • IBullyLilKids Korosaki (@IBullyLilKids) reported

    Overwatch is like smoking to me whenever I'm in a bad mood I just queue up for ranked games To get my mind off whatever is bothering me But problem is I lose sr So I focus on getting them sr back haha

  • FlippantFeline FlippantFeline (FlippyCat) (@FlippantFeline) reported

    @discord When closing Overwatch while I'm streaming, my entire computer halts. It does not matter what I am streaming on my machine, it still crashes when closing Overwatch specifically. Any ideas how to fix this?

  • PewPewToph Zeref Saito ;-;🌈 (@PewPewToph) reported

    I swear to god @PlayOverwatch if y’all don’t get your **** together and fix your matchmaking system in overwatch 2. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

  • JamesFrankFlint James Flint (@JamesFrankFlint) reported

    @edin_thinker @Paulblake8A @nicholadrummond The problem with combat UGVs that I envisage, is that like mine fields, they will require 24/7 overwatch to be effective, and protected.

  • iwastheweather Rainyy ☔🍋 (Kasey) (@iwastheweather) reported

    @araraginn confused what you mean i mean i hate when people complain about something not broken then the devs just give in and change it to shut them up. Its a big reason why overwatch became unplayable. What you mean by greedy ??

  • PieterTroffaes Berrien (@PieterTroffaes) reported

    @ianhamilton_ @ZoeRowen @IndieGamerChick I hadn't heard that about Overwatch, I only have a few WoW friends with varying colorblindness and they really liked the sliders. But it speaks to the fact that fix-alls just don't exist for CB and even with good intentions you can still mess up.

  • beelzeboiii gonk droid🦇 (@beelzeboiii) reported

    while overwatch has introduced more to improve your experience in competitive, it’s still hard as **** to recover after having one shitty match. comp is still broken!

  • Maho2Akane Akane Sakai (@Maho2Akane) reported

    Well I can’t play Overwatch anymore(See: Broken laptop) and it honestly sucks that this happened right before the Winter Wonderland event but there’s not much I can do so back to x Reader and crying I guess

  • vengenz_v ✩‧₊*:・vengenz⁷ ・:*₊‧✩ (@vengenz_v) reported

    @Gehenna1986B I had this issue before when I edited stuff for Overwatch. Suddenly I found my edits on bedsheets etc on Etsy like wtf??

  • mercysbf ghost 🪐 (@mercysbf) reported

    the only reason im clinging onto life atm is because of overwatch winter wonderland and the mfers havent even announced it yet </3 im so heart broken blizzard please pull thru

  • camarochi Carlos Ochoa (@camarochi) reported

    @austinshoe_ @Ryliez1 @BlizzardCS I feel you... I didn't have this problem, until last week, I did a clean install of windows. then I bought Cod Cold war, and this problem started to happening in every game! Overwatch, MW and Cold War... I can't even play 3 complete matches in any of those games.

  • PewPewToph Zeref Saito ;-;🌈 (@PewPewToph) reported

    @somnatik @PlayOverwatch Most of their time catering to the overwatch league players. They fail to realize that some characters are broken.

  • CullanSmith Cullan 'PirateFlag' Smith (@CullanSmith) reported

    Got an error that locks me out of Overwatch for a few hours just as we have warmup and officials 🤡

  • BazaaroDundee BazaaroDundee (@BazaaroDundee) reported

    @Apallohno I play a lot of PC Overwatch, and most the time saying GG isn’t a problem. Probably just toxic players. Hopefully you don’t keep running into that!

  • hothdong 蓝东东 lovebot (@hothdong) reported

    Yoohyeon and overwatch have officially broken up 💔💔💔💔💔

  • rhino_arts Venny (@rhino_arts) reported

    @JarylGaren Also, an extremely of the time kinda character. Kinda like how tracer would've been when Overwatch was booming (which it no longer is).My problem with these kinds of games is that they just feel like flukes.They're very popular for a while but then people just move on to the next

  • Shayy_TV Shay (@Shayy_TV) reported

    12) Streaming Overwatch was hard because I never got to read my chat often and I always had to be on red alert because the community does like to randomly throw around words that'll get me in trouble. ...Also, back then I had much worse anger management and it showed. :/

  • OwnerWhiskey Whiskey, Frostsorrows Owner (@OwnerWhiskey) reported

    @AimbotAimy just stop playing then.. I am honestly just gonna uninstall cause you just keep saying it sucks... its got problems but its taking the times it is enjoyable and makin'em feel meh. go back to playin MW for the stream or overwatch. I dont care about the money spent at this point
