  • mizliz_ Liz Richardson (@mizliz_) reported

    I'm one of the biggest Overwatch copium huffers out there, but even I'm disappointed with communication about server issues. There has to be a better (and quicker) way to let people know issues are happening than waiting hours for an update on either Twitter account.
