  • bunnimoniOW twitch.tv/bunnimoni (@bunnimoniOW) reported

    @gwiishin I think they misunderstood who you was saying skill issue to, but gosh people with that much lack of comprehension should not be allowed to play overwatch lol

  • theoyo99 MKTHÉO (@theoyo99) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Speaking of that, doesn't anyone else have that glitch where they almost immediately respawn, skipping completely the timer? Been playing Overwatch for 3 years and it happens quite often for me, even more in OW2 actually

  • bochat_ rK (@bochat_) reported

    has anyone encountered this weird glitch in overwatch where the game ******* SUCKS FROM BEGINNING TO END

  • Emceemur Emceemur (@Emceemur) reported

    @snestalgia_ @EpicGames No support whatsoever. Same crap Blizzard did to lock me out of Overwatch. This is the kind of issue that requires human help. But I won’t be offered any.

  • Cimarus2 Cimarus 👑 (@Cimarus2) reported

    @HouseOfSpice crash 4, overwatch, dbd, spyro, hopefully new hollow knight

  • jlooooooo1994 jleauxx🦭🫧 (@jlooooooo1994) reported

    Playing solo q in apex is actually almost as bad as Overwatch. Most of these games desperately need to fix their solo queue gameplay. It’s terrible.

  • Familyguy_LIVE FamilyGuy_Live (@Familyguy_LIVE) reported

    Overwatch still has a problem to where tanks just out damage nearly every dps and Junkrat needs concussion mine nerfed. The balance team has to be high. I would rather play double shield than the bullshit that happens in ow 2 rn. It is objectively a mediocre game rn.

  • Fritanga22 Fritanga (@Fritanga22) reported

    @CrashSpyroBanjo @NumskullGames I mean, is clear that they needed more support for their games(overwatch 2 no, thats the same game) Their work in the diablo 2 was famtastic but still it was a huge miss to let them die there They where the best thing to happen to crash and tony hawk pro skater

  • wonderof_ Demiurge (@wonderof_) reported

    @gloompglamp @NocturneIsTaken @OWAnonymous_ His design has been a piece of **** since ow1, we never had a problem with it till now because we had 2 tanks and Ow1 had tons of CC Roadhog doesn't fit overwatch anymore and tanks are not meant to have one shots

  • thatweirdguy Mr. Dåvįd Çërvøñē (@thatweirdguy) reported

    Anyone else playing @PlayOverwatch on PC having a random dip in performance? I’ve never had an issue with “high” settings and I can’t pull above 17 FPS and the audio even lags on medium and I haven’t had an issue with much more demanding games? #gaming #overwatch @BlizzardCS

  • ListedGamer Listed (@ListedGamer) reported

    @DailyTF2Memes People who babyrage about random crits are babies, the game needs the randomness, overwatch has the "every game feels the same" issue because of lacking variables

  • TheHypedLion Hyped_Lion (@TheHypedLion) reported

    @PlayOverwatch fix ur random dissconnects run 30 ping get lagged out for no reson just to get a comp bann never happend in overwatch 1

  • alexx_alaska PCW | Alaska (@alexx_alaska) reported

    @GoddessFreya03 My computer has an error on it and it doesn’t let me play overwatch. So I don’t get to play overwatch as much as I’d like to. If I could play more often maybe I could rely on myself to stick to one role. But my friends like me as a healer more than anything 😒

  • Mohdsharil24 MohdSharil Gaming (@Mohdsharil24) reported

    @BlizzardCS hello :D i am getting some bad disconnect game in overwatch i have restarted everything n it still show lc 202 even tho i restarted my router n console. :D

  • xvickybailey VickyBailey ᐺ 🐉 (@xvickybailey) reported

    Still the issue in Overwatch some shots not hitting even when close up. Also there is def a issue with Sombra at times cannot hack enemies in close range. @PlayOverwatch

  • wetlakes Bryan (@wetlakes) reported

    For me whenever I’m at the Main Screen to Hit Play it does nothing but Load so I cleared Reserved Space and still not Working. Fortnite & Overwatch works for me though no Problems so I’m Confused right now.

  • ChidoriiChan Hexmas Ch!!r is LIVE🔴 (@ChidoriiChan) reported

    Op PC hard crashed so we’re trying to fix to get back online for more Overwatch

  • MeowyChia C4T (^•ω•^) ⁿʸᵃˎˊ˗ (@MeowyChia) reported

    @Exilant1349 Sounds like a game where i couldn't just play without headphones like i can with overwatch. Back when i still played r6 i used to have real issues locating enemies by sound, weirdly not with any other games

  • envy_127 molly ❄️ (@envy_127) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN i’ve been getting consistently kicked out of quick play games due to network issues, which are only happening with overwatch? is there anything i can do to try and resolve this myself?

  • TheViveros Viveros (@TheViveros) reported

    Overwatch is a great case study for this issue bc they deliberately tried to model their structure for the OWL on more traditional sports league models like the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. It was a good idea but crumbled because they don’t understand *why* those leagues worked.

  • lazylemurgaming k8 is alive 🙂 (@lazylemurgaming) reported

    Went from being fine & playing overwatch to being mad about lag to making myself upset over many other things to sitting in bed crying & overthinking & doubting myself & my life in general but hey tomorrow’s another day, right?

  • boymuchliz muchliz (@boymuchliz) reported

    What do you guys think about a system for reporting people (for any service, for example a game) that works like how CSGO overwatch worked, where other players could review reports and confirm whether or not they should be punished--with some kind of reputation system of course.

  • sean99214108 starfox22 (@sean99214108) reported

    @AskPlayStation Hey I need some help I originally had a copy of overwatch 1 on a disc and when overwatch 2 came out it became free and auto updated but for some reason I still need the disc to access the game and I broke my disc tray is there any way I can fix this issue thanks

  • KristenRaeTTV Kris🌙 (@KristenRaeTTV) reported

    The Overwatch community is so quick to ping-pong back and forth between “Mercy is broken” and “Mercy is useless” when the character hasn’t seen any substantial changes since 2017.

  • Tubbyman6 @Tubbyman6 (@Tubbyman6) reported

    why am I playing with diamonds as a silver 1 player :( overwatch please fix comp matchmaking.

  • Arinfrankanon 🚫ShadowToons🚫 (comms: closed) (@Arinfrankanon) reported

    @Dezzy_LustImp @mentallyillhor >w > Hewwo DBD AU/Overwatch AU at your service

  • JustinDavidSmi2 JustAn0nion (@JustinDavidSmi2) reported

    If Overwatch doesn't stop putting me in Bronze lobbies and then 2 games later putting me in T500 lobbies I'm probably gonna uninstall I am a consistent High Plat/Low Diamond player. My matches do not reflect this. I either roll the enemy team, or get rolled. It's not fun Fix it

  • itsW1ND Vicious W1ND 🇵🇹 (@itsW1ND) reported

    @NeXtFoX_RL yeah more content, and game modes maybe, smurfing problem, psyonix could do the same as overwatch or cod did with using the phone number or have to win an amount of games in casual to be able to play ranked, but rl do be going down hill hard

  • WayToTheDoubler ✨Spider-Dub✨|| #AcrossTheSpiderVerse (@WayToTheDoubler) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ “Nobody was dying” that was Overwatch’s primary problem for YEARS ON END and was why so many people left the game Nothing would die because supports made teams unkillable and double shield drove players of all roles away from the game

  • ayohbami Bami (@ayohbami) reported from Toronto, Ontario

    Okay overwatch back to being absolutely terrible. How do I randomly disconnect from a comp lobby and then get suspended for leaving? It’s your trash *** servers bro @PlayOverwatch
