    SORRY FOR A SUPER SHORT STREAM TODAY!! 😭 I wish my interent issues would just go away, but i have no idea whats wrong so i dont know what to fix. We started The Last of Us tonight, and will be continuing next week for more! Tomorrow may be more Last of Us or more Overwatch.

  • hanzosexual chance 💘 cupid hanzo era (@hanzosexual) reported

    i wish the overwatch devs would just tell us they can't fix our career profiles already so i can stop hoping that i'll get back the hundreds of hours of gameplay that i lost

  • JohnnyG5591 JohnnyG (@JohnnyG5591) reported

    Not playing Overwatch until they fix the Rank System I’m GM1 having silver on my team every game

  • K0FFL3 KOFFi (@K0FFL3) reported

    @TheRealKenzo These comments are crazy. They deadass want overwatch to just be paragon or battleborn and see no issue w/ it.

  • AzureEnjoyer69 Azure#1859 ➡️⬇️↘️ (@AzureEnjoyer69) reported

    me resisting the urge to comment “you should nerf genji to fix this xd!!” under every single thing an overwatch dev posts

  • whoisnerf Nerf (@whoisnerf) reported

    I have been having an issue on overwatch where my binds don't work sometimes and even if i change them it doesn't work. Especially the pinging function.

  • lawsoncwells FuriousDeer123 (@lawsoncwells) reported

    Still getting used to not mashing after i get slept by ana in overwatch because my brain is used to getting buried or shield broken in smash💀 immediately my brain says to start spinning that stick till I realize it does nothing

  • Jack_Y_Zhang Jack Zhang (@Jack_Y_Zhang) reported

    @EposVox Now for Crash Bandicoot 4 on Steam and we're set. Crash Bandicoot 4 being BattleNet exclusive is concerning given Overwatch 1's shutdown.

  • elderfurball OsamaBinBallin911 (@elderfurball) reported

    If you go negative in Competitive Overwatch you need to be put into a throwers Queue. @Blizzard_Ent Hire me for the dev team I got hella ideas to fix the clown fiesta

  • gliitchpop JiNX ! (@gliitchpop) reported

    @sugufr i looked at parasites under a microscope in class and found out everyone is having the same issue i had before they dropped me from a class and did some math and i might play overwatch and i ate taquitos and watched breaking bad

  • imtheoyster ًًurethra (@imtheoyster) reported

    Is anyone else stuck on the overwatch 2 loading screen, specifically during loading preferences?? Istg I’ve just been having problems left and right since season 3 dropped

  • gwenchrsties frankie 🌱 (@gwenchrsties) reported

    i don’t appreciate my wifi not working for hours let me play overwatch

  • SleepyTheGeek Sleepy (@SleepyTheGeek) reported

    @InfinityWard I play on pc and my fps is broken in mw2/wz2. Won’t fo past 60 fps. I tried mw 2019 and overwatch 2 and the fps on those games are working fine.

  • ggrchn grace (@ggrchn) reported

    they really heard me say "i'm having a good time in overwatch 2 competitive" and said ✨let's fix that✨

  • DaveCryder David Cryder (@DaveCryder) reported

    @FelipeT74281378 @JayDubcity16 @PostUp_bbb Right, they are paying to have CoD on gamepass... along with crash bandicoot, tony hawk, wow, overwatch, diablo, starcraft, spyro, guitar hero, etc

  • ArcadiaPSI Arcadia ▶️ ZELDA HYPE TRAIN (@ArcadiaPSI) reported

    @MerryOtakuOW @OWCavalry PC issues are not always known, and it's obnoxious to suggest that you're not allowed to play games online during storms. These things are so varied and unpredictable that a single game of overwatch should not be severe to the point of that in such an event

  • SleepyTheGeek Sleepy (@SleepyTheGeek) reported

    @InfinityWard I’m experiencing an issue. I play on pc and my fps is broken in mw2/wz2. Won’t go past 60 fps. I tried mw 2019 and overwatch 2 and the fps on those games are working fine. Anyone else having this issue??

  • BlownFuse_NSFW Dani!~ 🔞 (@BlownFuse_NSFW) reported

    @AesirNSFW Me when Overwatch lmao I lowkey just got rid of the game since I just poured way too many hours than I'd like to admit trying to get out of this loop I could never fix

  • vawchiikss vawchiikss🥀 (@vawchiikss) reported

    Overwatch 2 : sees that there is any problem with the game Also Overwatch: we need to nerf genji.

  • _iamfunds_ Funds (@_iamfunds_) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Can we fix mercy genji and kiriko? And nerf ball? That's all we want. I'm starting to feel like overwatch doesn't like the community and I just started in season 1. Those heroes were all fine but now it's too slow paced. Support is just hold on yea I see you low oh wait hold on.

  • JimoarGaming Jimoar (@JimoarGaming) reported

    @Deadly__Kitten @astaranx @guts14955532 Yes they did. That astal person and lots of others keep telling "they said they won't take games off PlayStation" which again I don't believe until it's binding like Nintendo and Nvidia. Also that's a cod deal. They can still keep crash Spyro overwatch Diablo and more off them.

  • Ytied00 Ytied (@Ytied00) reported

    @PlayOverwatch fix the crashing bug perhaps! i dont have anything open except for overwatch and its still crashing me and destroying my rank!

  • brandon31111120 🦖🦎 wasabi🍃🌿 (@brandon31111120) reported

    By the looks of it my brothers can’t play overwatch anymore because they have also developed anger issues too

  • Johnyb6633 John (@Johnyb6633) reported

    @BlizzardCS what’s up with Overwatch login servers?

  • flashsound13 ExSolutionz (@flashsound13) reported

    @PlayOverwatch you’re matchmaking is hot rhino poo! How is a diamond 2 player playing with golds?? This tells me that either your system is the rhino poo. Or u lost a massive player base…. 😳🤫fix your game. Or it will die back to what it was in overwatch 1.

  • Gnarizzard Gnarizard (@Gnarizzard) reported

    In addition, Xbox also claims that if they are able to acquire Activision Blizzard they will also be bringing their games to the service. Meaning we could see cloud streaming support for games like Call of Duty, Overwatch, World of Warcraft, and Diablo IV.

  • Batmaynee bat💙 (@Batmaynee) reported

    ram overwatch feels so absurdly broken sometimes LMAO

  • Shot6unM Shot6un Messiah (@Shot6unM) reported

    @OWCavalry Sojourn is perfect that’s the problem with the Overwatch devs they always have to screw around with stuff and they always have to mess up a perfect hero if you fricking need to screw around with **** fix your stupid *** Rematra and Junker queen way to OP

  • AngelKittyy3 Emily💗 (@AngelKittyy3) reported

    @PrettyPinkMercy @PlayOverwatch if you genuinely think they’re going to bring it back you have issues because overwatch has even said before that they won’t bring it back also you should just donate the skin shouldn’t be the reason for you to donate

  • viralvinnie Viral Vinnie (@viralvinnie) reported

    @thatoldgamerguy Unde4stand I'm in the minority but for me "losing" Spyro, Crash, Tony Hawk, Overwatch, Diablo, Candy Crush, waaay more impactful than one single IP even it COD I'm ok with acquisitions but not this arms race to gobble up everyone from last few years, need some form of 3rd party
