    is overwatch broken for anyone else?? i just tried playing a comp match, we all had a minor perk unlocked at the start but it didn't work, i got killed and my entire game crashed and every time i try to relaunch and rejoin, it crashes again. @BlizzardCS

    @OWAnonymous_ If you think the leaver issue in Overwatch is bad, go play Halo Infinite sometime. It's ten times worse over there.

    So I'm not the only one having lagging problems on Overwatch lately right?

    @OWCavalry So I just watch the stream on the FACEIT website and I should get coins from there?? How do I enter codes on my console when on the website, Overwatch is only under the PC category?? I hope this won’t be an issue! Also, how does one link their Battlenet account with FACEIT??

    why does overwatch constantly have the “the server closed due to an unexpected error” bug. FIX YOUR GAME PLEASE

    @ukrisreng1582 @mmmmmmmmiller Broken can't spend four or five dollars. On a couple of things. He would rather spend $25 on a skin in OverWatch. Then get three skins for for like four or five bucks. You can't make this **** up

    @SkywardPlate @ThelVanDamne @HerosDr34m Req packs which affected one gamemode only in the halo community yall blame the devs for people this **** in but cod was doing it and Overwatch and none of the fans from those games blame the game for it. It was literally industry standard and regardless halo 5 was live service.

    @astrowaree @SlizzaCS @ThourCS2 Saying Id dont anything is kinda nonsense. Premier has million times more cheaters. Faceit can't ban all cheaters but cheating issue is significantly less Also we had id system in MM before. The phone number. Valve removed it to help cheaters. Just like they removed overwatch

  • Hacker_LYX

    @lron_Side @Helldivers_NOW The healing darts in killing floor 1, also had the same issue. And Ana from Overwatches dart Rifle, at least when she released.

    Bello! Me analyze Overwatch clip, very critical, like minion! Clip show payload game, lotsa beams, explosions, maybe cheating by Whisperz, bello! Giardia_ow mad, call for ref, suggest foul play. Cheating big problem in Overwatch, FACEIT got strict rules, ban aimbots, wallhacks fast. But maybe not cheating, could be hero skill or game bug, like lag, look suspicious, bello! Need FACEIT check clip proper, ensure fair play. False blame hurt too, make game toxic. Truth matter most, investigate fully, bello!

    I HAVE NOW LOST ANOTHER GAME BECAUSE MY SPIKE GUARD WAS NOT REGISTERING A HIT ON A TARGET THAT WAS UNPROTECTED AND ABOUT TO DIE. FIX THIS NOW. #HAZARD #OVERWATCH #OVERWATCH2 @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS @Blizzard_Ent

  • ThatOddGuyDave
    Dave (@ThatOddGuyDave) reported

    @enchandted Apparently they "lost" the files and data to this while converting to Overwatch 2, and the only way they can "fix" it is by completely remaking it. Don't know why, but I'm not buying that excuse of theirs.

    Overwatch please fix matchmaking in Stadium. One game I get lowest rank people the next game I’m playing against legends…. If your not grouped your not climbing plain and simple.

    @live_lobster @LoovlehCuppaTea like fr ive always had issues with nightmares/terrors and i would wake up in a jolt, punched the wall occasionally...one of those holes was made from an overwatch dream. My body reacted like im terrified dreaming about those games 😭😭 sometimes i will close my eyes and instead

    @JackyRaider @TheActMan_YT @ShitpostRock And given the circles TheActMan runs in, they should knew that, since they are the ones saying it, while still playing their games like Overwatch, acting like their cool now just because they paid lip service to the idea of being sorry... 😒

  • Radraiki2

    @yoshi12370 unfortunately all blizzard games have this problem. WoW for example has had its plot destroyed and sabotaged for decades just to make more money and make blizzard earn money. and overwatch unfortunately falls into the same category. and being a moba doesn't help in this sense

    when flats said this game is about mental it really is, this guy had bad mental every game i played with him. like i understand you wanna win but yelling at your team isn’t gonna fix the problem and i feel like if everyone in overwatch had that mentality it would be a better game

  • Daphne_de_Vil
    Daph!! ☆-☆ (@Daphne_de_Vil) reported

    @trabucooo1 @OverwatchNaeri Yeah that’s kiriko, and everyone agrees its an issue, but she is basically overwatch’s poster girl and also i thoight u didnt care about skins.. so why are u speaking so much on skins now if they add nothing to the game?

    @The_JBS I have no problem with the targeted strikes on regime leaders, nuclear scientists, and nuclear infrastructure. Providing intelligence and overwatch with planes and ships.

    @DarkDragonMasta You’re right, the other live service games are charging $10 for recolors and $25-$30 for costumes (Fortnite, Overwatch, Diablo). Name a live service game that is cheaper than MR? BP next month? All BPs in all these games give maximum value, that’s not even the same comparison.

  • TheFoundingDrlp

    @_wave00 Nah i think this game has fundamental game design issues, overwatch been catering to casuals for ages and TF2 aint even balanced at all and they got consistent player counts lol

  • Big7pointer
    big7pointer (@Big7pointer) reported

    @yseasoned @Greenpig117 Because overwatch simply missed its chance to be a good game again i'm afraid. Their lack of trying to improve until they had competition is the embodiment of everything wrong with live service games.

    R.T (@RyanTmhg) reported

    @CY4N4R4 I don’t get the issue, you know how the game plays it’s Overwatch the same as it has for years. Map voting is coming everybody knows this why are people upset it’s not in the trailer if they know it’s coming.
