  @Agent47Linux @pcgamer The game was fine, had fun in coop. The biggest issue was the player base, which was pretty much nonexistent since day one. Definitely not an Overwatch clone - only people that haven't played both games were saying it was. And that definitely didn't help.

  @Nokokopuffs_ AMEN! So sad Apex is going down the same path Overwatch did designing the META around broken character abilities to cater to casuals and taking it away from what made Apex so appealing in the first place and thats MECHANICAL SKILL!? 😞

  some mf in the overwatch chat just told me "remember back in the day when ppl died from stocks crashing and now we crash stocks on purpose" now idk how true that is but thats a very interesting speculation coming from an overwatch player of all people

  @AnneMunition Overwatch will likely remain the same until they add characters that counter its gameplay problem. But siege DOES have potential still. Toxicity will always remain a problem in online gaming.

  @skinkybob @dreamsofskies mood I have an issue where I get games and abandon them because they get boring. After 4 overwatch games, I'm like yeah I'm outies. I bought Hades played for like 3 days then I was done jfc-- Every MMORPG I'd get I got to level 20-25 and abandon it for another---

  @jonathansircar1 @Bungie overwatch, valorant, call of duty, and literally destiny 2. at this point idec about the recoil nerf, its just stupid that this is what they do rather than fix the glaring issues in the game. no one asked for this.

  Computer problem question! I have googled this 20 different ways and nothing helped. Everytime I open up overwatch my frames just drop down like crazy for the first 5 minutes of a match. After that it's perfectly fine. Help :( (Inb4 "just deinstall it")

  @LuluLuvely Mw2 lobbies gave me a cussing problem but Overwatch made me toxic

  Emmy (@EmmyFutz) reported 33 minutes ago

  I vow to never purchase anything from Blizzard ever again. I will play overwatch and cod into the ground, but I will not buy future titles. They don't know how to customer service.

  As we all know overwatch is broken with its booty comp

  Thdlock (@LimitThdlock) reported 35 minutes ago

  @i_am_anDe Best way to create diversity is fix problems rather than force it so yes those are all fine ideas. This reminds me of when overwatch forced players to run 2-2-2 comp in competitive because they could not balance the 3-3 meta

  I also feel I should address it's also based on a spray in Overwatch and my drawing looks more like that than the original from GITS and should 100% clarify it was used as a reference and inspiration. I drew it on paper first and then traced over my drawing while fixing errors

  @The_ChillPlace My old mouse used to disconnect for no heccin reason. Wanted to murder during overwatch comp

  @GameSpot The problem was that it release just months before @Blizzard_Ent #Overwatch was release back in 2016.

  Can’t wait to get a PC and NOT disconnect from Overwatch

  @BlizzardCS ive tanked over 400 SR on a character ive spent hundreds of hours on. This season is cancerous because of all the stupid updates you've made. Please fix overwatch it is literally unplayable.

  @therealshadykit @FRANA_OW @PlayOverwatch I mean if she likes Overwatch that's totally fine. I just feel personally that the game is an E-sports joke since forcing roles / meta, and now screwing her over with SR rankings and refusing to fix them let alone the bug. Used to be a great game I got collectors edition.

  @HiroRwar It was pretty fun if you played it on its own terms, but yeah, the problem is that they marketed it in direct competition with Overwatch despite them being pretty different games at their core

• 
  Coleslaw (@DylanHelgens) reported 49 minutes ago

  @BlizzardCS why is there over 30 characters in overwatch, but only two in each role are worth playing. If you dont have the exact team comp, you lose by a wide margin. Games arent even close anymore. Fix it.

  @PlayOverwatch please give us the choice ingame to blacklist servers, the ME servers are cancer, the player base is toxic. every overwatch player i speak to has issues with that server

• 
  Saim (@Darwin_TDK) reported 52 minutes ago

  @BananaSlamJamma You’re missing the point. The community is toxic as **** and they're pointing out exactly how much of a problem it is. The Overwatch system has made it clearer than ever.

  Jamin Here (@JaminHere) reported 52 minutes ago

  You know at this point I don't know if I even care if Overwatch 2 comes out. Like it's already shown that Overwatch can't release a hero without it being unfathomably broken, why do I want a game released with up to 3+ of them.

  🌟 Ezereal 🌟 #Nintendo (@So_Ethereal) reported 53 minutes ago

  @real1gaming I mean, EA made some significant progress on Switch when we had lost hope of them releasong more than FIFA Legacy. Activision is fine: Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Diablo, Overwatch..are on the platform, only COD is missing for now. Sega is worse right now, because of Nagoshi.

  @michakombat @hopelessboy234 @BedoyaHarryson i used to play overwatch and the goats strategy was 3 tank, 3 supprt. the way to beat it was 4 dps 1 tank and one support. problem is, that team was easily countered by 2-2-2 so it wasnt a usable strategy. just look at any owl 2018 (?) match between titans and hunters.
