  @Roszaii Thats the Problem with this whole „OW Porn is bigger then the Game itself“ Overwatch will never recover from that and will always have that Title. Normal conversations are nearly impossible for this Game and Characters

  Are we as a community gonna take responsibility, when are you the player gonna take accountability? If never then quit ya crying and play the game, if you got a problem with it go play overwatch where you will have the same issue

  Honestly taking a break from Overwatch to play a bit of Apex felt really good. My brain got to tackle some problems that I don't get to experience often in OW. And I had to relearn some mechanics as well. So even if I was screaming my head off a lot, it was oddly therapeutic.

  Game is not optimized to this day and they barely work on fixing the balance issues. The only players were ex overwatch players who were playing it because they were mad with overwatch but now they're realizing that it's a **** game and it was never going to actually rival OW

  @dottanic I hate that skins seem like the only actual piece of content we can look forward to.. like the whole trailer was 30 seconds of stadium **** and the rest was showcasing skins.. I don't buy skins but I think overwatch created this problem themselves and likes when people are upset

  @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.

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

  @wildcatsmine this is overwatch biggest problem the battle pass is always so random

  Kevin Nogilny (@CookiesAndPilk) reported 13 minutes ago

  @CalamariSteven @JoshLavis @Splitgate Overwatch cosmetics carried over to Overwatch 2. It's not unreasonable to think a free to play live service game's entire means of keeping players financially invested in the game should have some carryover when the developer migrates over to a new free to play live service...

  @PotNoodleOW i had my first crash in 8 years of Overwatch as well last week. the process stopped responding & locked my desktop so hard I had to make a new desktop to bring up task manager & kill it.

  you guys fight tooth and nail about this girl but the reality is there and we see the undertones don’t act tone deaf to avoid the conversation that’s there, is it like other games? no, but does overwatch have a problem with the way they do **** like this, YES.

  @EXCELSlOR_ Sounds stupid, but Lucio from Overwatch or Doomfist, there was a rumors way back about OW coming to smash, but after like some Hong Kong issue it soured the water

  @j_step21 Hot take, but Concord wasn't 'terrible' as a game. The issue was, it was just Overwatch but slower. The lore was pretty decent, and it seems someone put effort into that. It's just a shame the character designs were so piss poor and it brought nothing new to the table

  @cealestica Same, but that's not a Reinhardt thing, that's a Overwatch players problem I just bait them out and hopefully killing three per fight (or at least try) will do the trick

  @ceroeit Thank you! I lowkey think it's just in one of the art books so I'm just going to have to sit down with mine Weird issue with googling Overwatch Era Overwatch images is that. That's the. Name of the franchise. So it doesn't work

  @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

  @CounterStrike 1 of 10 players cheats in your game that means 1 cheater per game. GAME IS UNPLAYABLE. How to fix: 1. Bring back overwatch 2. Hire 30 people on minimum wage to be admins in games and overwatch people. 3. New anti cheat very intrusive we want just clean gameplay. 4. HWID Bans

  @Blizzard_Ent I literally just got penalized in Overwatch because everything froze and crash while I was in a match, and it just happened twice today..

  Why am I flipping banned because overwatch kicked me out???? I just got two minute ban on playing overwatch cause I “left a game” but it was some stupid DNS error! I did not intentionally leave a game!

  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

  @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.

  @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.
