  • XlAOTEEZ alex!! (@XlAOTEEZ) reported

    im still upset about the overwatch gifting system btw @PlayOverwatch fix your system

  • CatwomanDCAU Catwoman (@CatwomanDCAU) reported

    @Sisslethecat Yeah, a big problem with live service games is that having a high player base or a dedicated player base isn't enough anymore. The game has to be around LoL, Overwatch, Fortnite levels of players.

  • bimbokong B.K. (@bimbokong) reported

    Found like 10 pilsners time for me to play overwatch and forget my problems

  • MPIREHwntunda MPIRE Hwntunda (@MPIREHwntunda) reported

    @hitchariide Part of the problem is there...”franchised”. Mistake one I think. Look at their overwatch league! They have a whole Collective bargaining process going on!

  • sammnumbers samm (@sammnumbers) reported

    Overwatch console bugs I found after playing for less then a week. 1) Aim assist on baptise immortality and other deployable abilities is broken. It moves your screen up constantly and makes it almost impossible to shoot.

  • sleepyissleepy1 envy (@sleepyissleepy1) reported

  • jarrett089i Jarrett (@jarrett089i) reported

    @666sad420 when i was addicted to overwatch 1 in highschool i simply solved this problem by being a junkrat main

  • anEggLol Luke (@anEggLol) reported

    They could fix overwatch 2 if they added the griddy emote for Reinhardt @ChairBourne @dix0nm8

  • lumit13 lu(min)mit (@lumit13) reported

    Overwatch vc not working for me is actually a blessing. If I could communicate how I'm feeling about my team when I play tank I would definitely get banned

  • K1TSUNERUSH des ♡ (@K1TSUNERUSH) reported

    y’all always say SOMETHING is broken on overwatch

  • sunsprang sunsprangs (@sunsprang) reported

    this tweet was about dec me my anger issues could not handle overwatch so i rage deleted everything amsm

  • campbell_lord Lord_Campbell (@campbell_lord) reported

    @RockLeeSmile Yeah, say what you want about Bungie and live service, but they have basically infinite funding now, I have faith they can do a good job with marathon. BTW, I believe that pvp shooter is gonna be a hero shooter, so maybe it can be the overwatch replacement we both need lmao

  • highboomtwt 0 aim accuracy (@highboomtwt) reported

    I hate when I lag while playing overwatch because I’m immediately blamed for it and then I get so pissed off I leave :(

  • DemonMasterboi Smotoe (@DemonMasterboi) reported

    what ******** do you mean I have to at 1 on Lincoln and related why are you having problems controlling my Xbox one when I have done this for the past 3 months very bad mood because of OverWatch Google I ******* hate this why are you doing this to me I am already in a bad mood

  • JamPog16 JamPog (@JamPog16) reported

    @heyyydennn @aaronkellerOW @RayanMADAO They had to confirm the update with every service overwatch is on so to add something new now they'd need to wait for confirmations again which would cause them not to release season 3 tomorrow so ye it's not rly an option rn

  • fireflyboi **** zem all (@fireflyboi) reported

    @rfloufi @SN0RLAXES @PlayApex You’re the only one that wants a sequel because everyone else has watched the unnecessary Overwatch 2 tank. Graphics aren’t an issue because this isn’t a bloody single player adventure and if the game is too complicated for you, don’t play it.

  • kittro_cat Kittro loves merry no matter what⭐️🖊🐶 (@kittro_cat) reported

    @stormy_night05 i dont think its actually the internet i think theres something wrong with my overwatch??? or maybe my computer??? but we're gonna go with NOT my computer since im the idiot who built it and i wanna blame someone else for OW not working KEKW

  • The25thViolence Justin (Artist formerly known as cazjuice) (@The25thViolence) reported

    when the strafe spamming mercy behind a pole is literally blinking on my screen nah nope never no goodbye overwatch I would say fix your **** but until some streamers get together and tell u to its not going to happen.

  • ConspiracyVinyl VINYLTHEWRITER🏳️‍⚧️✍️🎨 (@ConspiracyVinyl) reported

    The issue with overwatch is that u gotta put your phone number in If u didnt have to do that, then this would be a peak game

  • DeepaIsSalty Deepa (@DeepaIsSalty) reported

    @Jacksepticeye Overwatch is aight- I think? It leaves a lot to be desired, definitely has its issues. The game seriously is so lacking that the Random select button doesn’t work in the game LMAO but idk, I still like it’s concept and can occasionally find fun in it with friends still.

  • RafunkV RafunkV 👑 (@RafunkV) reported

    @Shadicnion500 They are probably doing the dumb overwatch thing of "let's rank you down every season because it feels so good to rank up". Tbh it's more of a problem for the enemy teams than me, I did a couple rounds after getting ranked and absolutely destroyed the enemy

  • professorscie5 Professor Science (@professorscie5) reported

    Can't believe Overwatch 2 devs still don't see the problem bastion is with his turret configuration and now his ult is inescapable now

  • piraguaroja blaiddrunner☆ (@piraguaroja) reported

    this new overwatch meta is unbearably boring and the balance team is beyond laughable. the way the game promotes this kind of boring pick based meta to force 4v5s is so incredibly awful. **** overwatch, fix your ******* game blizzard.

  • Hulkeen_ Hulkeen (@Hulkeen_) reported

    @Trey24k Disagree. human error will be too much of a factor and thousands of innocent will get wrongfully banned. it happened all the time with dayZ, it happend with CSGO overwatch system aswell. we need a system where you have to lock some sort of identification to your account.

  • oliver_drk Oliver Darko (@oliver_drk) reported

    @PaulTassi People can't have it both ways: On one side they advocate that Xbox acquires all these big already established Games-as-a-service IPs like Call Of Duty, Overwatch, Elder Scrolls Online, Fallout 76, Minecraft, Diablo. On the other side they criticize Sony when they make own IPs.

  • bootytaster9000 SkitteryBananas (@bootytaster9000) reported

    @Miguelpl00 @Swinn0 @Stylosa Overwatch is slower than just about every other live service game on the market rn

  • kaeyacidal (@kaeyacidal) reported

    dude. i lag so much in ******* overwatch kms

  • JoysawSoT Joysaw (@JoysawSoT) reported

    @TommyBeans_ Apex: just started a month or two ago (Trying it out again after playing last July). Don't have much problem in ranked, but pubs are weird. Never played COD. Overwatch is okay now, since they are finally giving rewards for playing soon.

  • Hulkeen_ Hulkeen (@Hulkeen_) reported

    @SwiFT_DBL @Trey24k Overwatch for csgo got scrapped for a reason. human error is too great and were incapable of judging a cheater unless blatant.

  • Alexand48384362 Alexander (Developer of Sackbot World) (@Alexand48384362) reported

    @h_timbers I don't have an issue with what they produce (unless it's obviously flawed like Overwatch 2 and MW2). I brought up "one of the worst" simply because of how they treat their employees.
