@Blizzard_Ent why is #Overwatch so broken? It’s been FOUR YEARS. Fix the heroes and how OP everyone is except for Support heroes. Its getting ridiculous to play with the trash matchmaking you have going on. -Sincerely EVERY fan

@Wael_artwarlock @angu2605 NRASS is like an extension cheat code for me. It allows you to do things easily and it is just convenient. Tbh idk why people keep saying nrass. Overwatch mod is what rly helps reduce the lag. Unless you talk about the reset everything thing. But that isn't as regular tho.

Hey @Blizzard_Ent - why is Overwatch Quick Play not open queue anymore? You've broken your own game and now it's more frustrating to play quick than competitive. What the actual ****.

Anyone got any recommendations for PC co-op games, 2-4 players, not so heavy that lag would murder you if you server hopped? - playing in NZ and Scotland - Phasmophobia EXCELLENT - not Don't Starve/Minecraft - I doubt something like Overwatch/PUBG/DbD would hold up - h e l p ?

Update on COD Vs Overwatch, last week I uninstalled overwatch, tried to play it again and it was a huge mistake. Yeah I will be on cod for now on. Only one problem, I can't play cold war on my rooms xbox, I have to play on one of my parents xbox, so MW and warzone it is then.

@pulse_rifle @OWAnonymous_ It seems that RAM has an extreme impact on Overwatch performance. I had 8GB of RAM and Overwatch ran around 80+ FPS consistently until a patch came in. Then it was very laggy and had stutters almost every 30 seconds. Adding another 8GB of RAM somehow fixed the problem.

Biggest issue this season is all the smurfs accounts that are being created and fortnite need to start taking action or it's going to ruin the game look at games like overwatch that are plagued with smurfs

@xFREEEDO if blizzard really wants to fix overwatch, it's pretty simple. Split the game into two queues. One for DPS players, the other for Support & Tank.

@MoonMessiah1337 I count myself to comp players,played in several amateur esports teams and also qualified for overwatch contenders when it started.I notice the difference between 10ms input lag and 3ms ingame but too me 360hz was not really noticeable,going for higher res is the thing to go for.

Eight broken death adders, 4000 hours in Overwatch, the entire history of Serious Sam, and the most disappointing final boss in video game history. **** you Dead Island.

were all given a slot due to their league involvement further disguises the problem. It makes there seem like there's a massive natural community here where there isn't at all. Blizzard tried this stuff with Overwatch and proved that it just doesn't work. You HAVE to first 4/

@6arks @Soldier76bot Overwatch is a great game, the problem is everybody thinks they deserve to be in diamond or higher. And they simply aren’t that good but can’t accept it so they blame everybody else around them. The game itself is fantastic. It is delusion that has killed the experience.

@notfl1ppy yeah there is my problem, i have no idea what map is good for what operator. i cant dream a single map in this game. overwatch, csgo are easy to get map sense on, rainbow six not so much

The biggest mistake Overwatch has ever made was prioritizing the solo-queue experience over 6v6 Comp. I'd personally argue EVERY problem with the game stems from that one decision, EVERY single one.

So what should I do? My drivers are up to date & I'd like to keep playing, but I imagine the crashes will continue happening and my punishment will get worse. Am I doomed to abandon Overwatch or is there a fix or some solution you can provide? Thanks! My Bnet is Ajay#1686

@PlayOverwatch Please add mouse and keyboard support for Overwatch on all consoles (Xbox). You can have have different playlists for controllers. My pc died and I don’t have 💰 to fix it. I want to play Overwatch but I can’t use the controller it’s so inaccurate. Help! #Overwatch

@BrightsideOW This is a real problem in the Overwatch community. If someone doesn’t stand up and rally the people to fight this, then Overwatch 2 will be the exact same thing. We have to fight this as a community

Like, I could play games like Fortnite or Overwatch for several hours straight with no problems, but Warzone triggers this motion sickness only after a few minutes.

I Think what Overwatch needs is a character that's Just Like so Off brand and doesn't make sense in The Games Universe at all Like a Giant worm or like a Character so large he has trouble Traversing the map or Like a Literal Pagan God I think it'll fix the Game
