  NOT TO MENTION SHE SPECIFICALLY STRESSED FAREEHA BEING ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT SHOULD BE RECRUITED??? which was always kind of an issue, there is "trusting Fareeha to take care of herself/Egypt" and there is "I WANT Fareeha to join Overwatch" like good god my heart is exploding.

  nvm the minecraft thing was a new launcher problem and the overwatch 200 ping was just the practise range for some dumb reason

  So these mf's really think they just need new people for Overwatch and that'll totally avoid all the problems of old Overwatch

  @bear_tubby @YourOverwatchYT He said he preferred 321 and liked a more fps style Overwatch. So quiting over 5v5 doesn't make sense. Not enough tanks is everyone problem. In open Q lack of tanks causes toxicity and you never know what kind of game you'll get. In 222 dps get hour Q & 4K tanks get gold games...

  @TwitForcedAcct @shyux2 Lol first thing I could think of. I play ******** out of Overwatch so sorta a hypocrite bit you know what I mean. Everyone ELSE is dumb, everyone ELSE is the problem. Never me. That gamer philosophy. And the tightass that runs it probably got beat up every day in school

  @The_Chimp_Club @owSolo_ If you are classing me as your biggest fan, you are seriously in trouble, I'm technically not even a fan, I technically don't even like Overwatch. I do like Monkeys though. Well, baby ones, riding pigs. Backwards

  @LouisOprisa @AirCycle The biggest shame for those people is they are locked out of multiplayer games, which is why a lot of people play games in the first place. You can't apply these things to online play. I mean Overwatch ran into this issue when they let console users get run over by PC users.

  @ellewasamistake I knew Overwatch had broken me when I was angry that the second one didn't say "This" I need therapy

  The ONLY voiceline combo for orisa, that is acceptable to use in combat... is "Error 404: I was only trying to, EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE" My mind absolutely cannot be changed on this. #Overwatch #DonkeyOmnic

  « issue with her role within Overwatch, her work as a vigilante have her respect within the community — and given that she took up the opportunity to return to the RAF, she was in — decent favor with her government too.

  March 2021 @just_Reaps and me: oh my headset is broken, let’s play Overwatch again next week when I have a new one November 2021: oh that was a long week

  @ItsAmmon Overwatch had become infested with cheaters and I just wanted to do something else for once. Cheaters in roblox are easy to spot so they're hardly a problem. also there's so much stuff to play

  @BlizzardCS login error when trying to start Switch overwatch. Server full or is it something on my end? Internet fine otherwise

  The people that play Overwatch are actually a bigger problem than the game itself.

  Neltharion deserved better (@Myrverion) reported 29 minutes ago

  Overwatch lore is on ******* shambles with entire omnic war being a ******* blank page, and of course Cole name change is what worth five issues comic instead

  Uk all blizzard has to do is fix overwatch 1, maybe make it f2p and boom all the hype will come back. Scrap ow2 if u have to.

  @BlizzardCS Ok cool but why tf is overwatch just not working on Xbox?

  What makes overwatch so bad? I have fun playing it. I just don’t like when people don’t do there job. Though it doesn’t become an over the top issue.

  First issue of “New Blood” is surprisingly good. Honestly, I haven’t been so invested in Overwatch lore for a long time. Cowboy’s new skin is meh, but maybe we’ll have more cosmetics with future comics issues? 🤞

  @popotohime so I noticed I actually have this less in ffxiv than other games (namely overwatch, idk if i tweeted about it but i had this issue in it a LOT) and i think it has to do with my character size? time to try making miss makoto as a femroe :3

  @DarkBlade5739 Proof-> Okay then, make a proper "Watch" tab like DotA has. Make replays get on servers. Make overwatch a thing. Done. They want suggestions, here it is. No bitching. CS has prime, Siege has a price. There's rarely any cheating issues when you have prime. Free trial vs paid game.

  @realguigsy @ATVIAssist False bans are happening all the time and Activision have whittled their support down to almost zero. This Overwatch issue is a good example which shows their current detection methods are flawed and cause false bans. Also banned recently but they will give me no info on why.

  @PlayHearthstone Anything with battlegrounds?. Winning with Diablo doesn't offer any kind of reward or achievement. He's either broken or completely awful to play. Always wondered if we would see Diablo/starcraft/overwatch crossovers in hearthstone but Diablo sucks.

  @BlizzardCS is there an issue with latency on east coast overwatch for ps4? cant seem to play any game without 150+ ping and my connection works fine for everything else
