  • sam1tron Spy~(6 days 🎂) (@sam1tron) reported

    Anyway cancel overwatch 2, problem solved

  • AstroStar420 AstroStar (@AstroStar420) reported

    Hey @Activision you are a garbage company. Fix your ******* OverWatch servers, get your customer service under ******* control, and stop making ****** decisions when it comes to classic games and multiplayer. **** you and have a nice day

  • SmoothFoxes Shenanigans Fox (@SmoothFoxes) reported

    @Eat_Bray_Love We somehow got all the versions of 40k rules that were worse. Like save stacking, attack ranges. Morale, coherency, even somehow a super broken better overwatch when they *just* nerfed the living hell out of it in 40k.

  • DJK1NG_Gaming DJK1NG_Gaming - Edens Zero & Destiny Lovers! 🇭🇹 (@DJK1NG_Gaming) reported

    @ShadowFoxArche Then there me playing Rogue Company, Overwatch and other online games on Switch and rarely have any issues even Nintendo games I rarely have issues only do because other connection are terrible.

  • Ripcord_exe Make_and_Pull_Ripcord.exe (@Ripcord_exe) reported

    @towelthetank @Wowhead Overwatch situation: sponsors leaving PR situation: On fire Office situation: Women get treated better at the playboy mansion than at blizz offices WoW situation: bleeding players Blizz: Let's make this fix from the feedback we've been getting since Beta! Not impressed.

  • UnderstandDuck Duck (@UnderstandDuck) reported

    @overwatchleague I've been watching overwatch league for the past 2 hours and I have not earned any OWL tokens. Is there any way I can fix this?

  • KatsuneKit Kat | VTuber 🐾 (@KatsuneKit) reported

    Overwatch seems to be causing a bit of a problem? I'm still attempting to make it work, but I'm not too sure if it will. Worst case, we will find something else to work with.

  • DreamieVents 。・:*・゚☆ (@DreamieVents) reported

    ⠀⠀⠀I wish the ******* WiFi would stop lagging for two seconds to I could play Overwatch without being borderline disconnected.

  • HappyOtter9 Otter (Commissions closed, queue is open)🔞 (@HappyOtter9) reported

    @Aemon_Oni I guess that's my main problem. I don't really care about Overwatch, MK, Nintendo Anime and other stuff. And I can't work on something that doesn't appeal to me. So if people wanna watch only their favorite characters being pounded, then maybe I should quit altogether

  • blamydra Blamy (@blamydra) reported

    Internet guy came over and did some **** and hopefully internet will be good. Hopefully no more stream crashes and no more lag if so then more overwatch and apex :)

  • Tronnyverse Tyler Tronny 👻 (@Tronnyverse) reported

    @IGN This sounds like "several students demand school to stop teaching about WWII because it makes them feel bad" levels of not wanting to think about the real issues. 😐 Is Overwatch more important than the victims in all of this to these fans?

  • blackgatomon Blackgatomon (@blackgatomon) reported

    @IGN *Fix: A minority that does NOT PLAY Overwatch wants to change the name of a character that uses a generic name for a cowboy.

  • GeriatricGamer Popadom Priest (@GeriatricGamer) reported

    Anyone else in Suffolk having Sky Broadband connection issues? Dropped around midnight and now won’t reconnect. I want to play more Overwatch damn it 😭

  • tjsthemathguy Tristin Solorzano (@tjsthemathguy) reported

    @ChristinaTasty If you're not buying **** from them then you aren't implicitly supporting them and their practices. I could see canceling a WoW subscription since that is paying them directly. In Overwatch I don't buy ****. I haven't for years, therefore I see no issue playing it.

  • GiraffeBinks Giraffe (@GiraffeBinks) reported

    @BlizzardCS is the league store having issues because I bought 200 league tokens on overwatch and I still haven't received them?

  • sombreity shen (@sombreity) reported

    Overwatch folk?: I’m a mercy main (snore) with over 11k average healing per 10min, but my damage boost is a woeful ~200. Idk how the heck to keep everyone alive and also fix this 😩

  • Everyylol Saint Every , le prince du sel (@Everyylol) reported

    i don't like making this kind of tweet but there is a problem when @overwatchleague peak higher viewership than @LCSOfficial, knowing Overwatch is a dead game. Like how ******** did we get to this point?

  • Npena7880 𝕯𝕰𝕸𝕺𝕹𝕴𝕺 (@Npena7880) reported

    @Tin2Mint @stormisjesus @IGN They just used his name because it sounded like a damn Cowboys name nothing more nothing less he doesn’t even work on overwatch you’re just getting overwatch involved with drama and issues from another IP like ******* always

  • loki_lux ☀️Loki Lux🍡Vtuber☀️ (@loki_lux) reported

    @RosalynnCH If it’s the start it’s a load in issue, whether cpu/storage/internet etc. only time I’ve had an issue Windows was downloading an update in the background for me that royally ****** my frame rate. Overwatch does this for me but I haven’t had an issue with split yet.

  • Maltese_Dude Drew (@Maltese_Dude) reported

    @IGN I think overwatch has bigger issues to fix than a ******* fictional character's name

  • Npena7880 𝕯𝕰𝕸𝕺𝕹𝕴𝕺 (@Npena7880) reported

    @ChristinaTasty @IGN To quote another big brained individual in this comment section how is overwatch specifically the problem?? I would love to know because to me it seems like y’all like grouping overwatch in with the rest of the IP’s dramas and issues

  • silentpotater SilentPotato_ (@silentpotater) reported

    I can no longer play overwatch. The game has been in life support for 2 years now. Activision/blizzard clearly don't care about what the player base want, and in return we get dogshit updates that don't fix anything. The game has no new content for creators and players.#overwatch

  • MindParadox MindParadox (@MindParadox) reported

    @Jbflipmode @IGN Uh, no, Overwatch. Wow has other problems :P (yup, I did it)

  • dyna_power DynaPower (@dyna_power) reported

    @IGN people are complaining about a non issue its a name yes its the name of a bad person but its a fictional character that has this name it wont do ANYTHING if blizzard changes it all it does is increase the work the devs need to do for overwatch 2 by changing a ton of lines

  • dastidar_argha Argha Ghosh Dastidar (@dastidar_argha) reported

    @Stylosa saw it in your video so... McCree name issue solution: Introduce a character arc for the character before the deadlock gang and state that he had a different name and changed it to escape his previous life #Overwatch

  • UnaRiggsEN Captain Una Riggs ⚓ EN Vtuber (@UnaRiggsEN) reported

    Booted up Overwatch just for it to crash instantly

  • Sh1ft82131735 Sh1ft (@Sh1ft82131735) reported

    @PlayVALORANT please fix ur ******* game there is absolutely no spray pattern, theres killjoy mollies and viper walls every ******* site i go to its just cancerous your game is turning into overwatch

  • SilverWolfKR SilverwolfKR 🐺🏁 (@SilverWolfKR) reported

    @IGN The problem with refusing to buy Overwatch to hurt Blizzards leadership is that you’ll also hurt the developers you are trying to defend. Not buying the game could in fact cause its employees to lose their jobs. If a game fails, the company loses money, cut backs will be made.

  • Npena7880 𝕯𝕰𝕸𝕺𝕹𝕴𝕺 (@Npena7880) reported

    @tron11323900000 @ChristinaTasty @IGN Yknow unless I haven’t seen anything that specifically says Overwatch has been the problem because to me it seems y’all like to group in Overwatch as a whole to the drama pertaining to other ips
