    So there's a glitch in overwatch that when you die you for some reason fall right through the map go ahead đįē

  • BeakdMan BeakdMan (@BeakdMan) reported

    Guys i was falsely first overwatch banned and then vac banned for phone sharing although i didn't cheat on any of my 3 accounts,did not give them to anyone, did not exploit any glitch nor even install any software on my pc.And i didn't even smurf.Pls lift the ban @Steam_Support 1

  • Tu_Es_Lindo_Mas Tomás Neves (@Tu_Es_Lindo_Mas) reported

    @mtimbs83 @Jusey1z @therealcliffyb Yh the problem is the lack of hardware on switch. Paladins devs drop every update at least 40 bug fixes, they also listen to their community A LOT,they do what we ask for, they fix what we want, they give almost everything for free.What did overwatch in the last year? 2champions?

  • qaadr_smith VinceQaadr (@qaadr_smith) reported

    All I want is overwatch 2 to have better matchmaking and ranking. If you can’t fix that then your games dead before you even release.

  • Ein_Turkey Ian Terry (@Ein_Turkey) reported

    @BlizzardCS Week 1 lunar new year skin. I really tried hard to get on overwatch over the week.But because of work and other issues I couldn't. I have been supporting overwatch continuously on 3 platforms since it's release. I just want the baptiste skin. Pls. 😢

  • ExiledMythos ExiledMythos (@ExiledMythos) reported

    @KazD6_37 @TitanfallBlog He's trying to force agency onto the devs to try and get them to fix it asap. An Overwatch player would discover and help Blizzard stop cheaters and block cheat engines, and basically used sharing the aimbot/cheating info as a way to force the devs to listen and react.

    OVERWATCH FIX YOUR DAMN SEVERS

  • TtvVaati Vaati Kaplan (@TtvVaati) reported

    @Soembie Yeah I agree, for a while I thought I just wanted overwatch 2 already, but then I realized that I was ok with waiting for OW2, but I really just wanted them to fix the live game. Makes me sad to think of another year without any significant overwatch content

    Overwatch why are you soo broken?

  • SemiObsessed Cailey | ケイリー (@SemiObsessed) reported

    I wanna draw but I also want to watch my dumb home improvement shows but I also want to play overwatch do you see my problem ????

  • RissanaPlays Rissana 🍉 ENVTuber (@RissanaPlays) reported

    by the way is anyone having trouble streaming overwatch these days since maybe a week ago? ever since one of their updates the game goes crazy and lags on stream even though i have a good pc

  • SuperOkazaki Super Okazaki (@SuperOkazaki) reported

    @godofwahhhhhh @Akfamilyhome It's not a problem in online games with competent net code. Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? Imagine games like Fortnite and Overwatch lagging out constantly and their fix is "well just don't play with people with bad wifi lol"

  • miscu_ miscu (@miscu_) reported

    I played two matches of overwatch for the first time in years, and immediately I see people lashing out at each other for no reason. this game should be a case study in pathetic attempts at out-of-the-box solutions to already solved problems

  • nate10ia_ Boostio (@nate10ia_) reported

    FIX OVERWATCH COMPETITIVE YOU STUPID COMPANY BLIZZARD!!! I GET ALL GOLD AND LOSE SR BC THIS GAME IS STUPID

    Anyone else having issues with #overwatch servers just straight not working for ranked games? It's stupidly annoying.

  • MrPoopyFarts Nanu (@MrPoopyFarts) reported

    @AquamarineOW @OWAnonymous_ I don't think you really grasp what the smurfing problem is. there are tons and tons of smurfs in the lower ranks (like bronze-gold). People like myself, who wanna play some competitive overwatch but also meme at the same time and still do okay.

  • rillaow grnt :) (@rillaow) reported

    There is no way anyone ******* plays overwatch, it’s all bots. They make a dumbass play and get rewarded, half the ******* characters are broken as hell. Even when I win it’s not fun, what a ******* joke of a few team who don’t even have the ***** to nerf anything.

  • influx256 Infamous (@influx256) reported

    @HonkyKong18 whoa come on man it dont hurt to try something new, plus the hero shooter genre is downgrading, gigantic failed, battleborn failed, overwatch failed, i can see paladins failing in the future if they dont fix **** but gameplay wise its alright.

  • HyuugaBB AoC Hyu (@HyuugaBB) reported

    @therealcliffyb Paladins not even a question. I enjoyed Law Breakers but the tech issues made it hard to play, never got to try Battleborn and Overwatch isnt too fun in my opinion :D

  • 400Freeze Freeze 400 (@400Freeze) reported

    @gish_ow @blazing_xo WHATS HE DOING RIGHT NOW?! His biggest problem is willingly wanting to play Overwatch

  • morneault_jacob Jacob Morno (@morneault_jacob) reported

    @nate10ia_ Overwatch bad. Game not fix

  • Jusey1z Salju (@Jusey1z) reported

    @mtimbs83 @therealcliffyb They do fix bugs, and they do support the product... Also, Overwatch is deserving of nothing. It's a poorly designed game that had negatively impacted the game industry and it's popularity has harmed many great games that are now dead, like Gigantic.

  • TylerSacre Tyler Sacre (@TylerSacre) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Stop having me join any type of QP/Arcade game when there is less than a minute - especially if there is less than 10 seconds. Your system is broken! Fix it! #overwatch #blizzardDevsSuck @Activision

  • Jellzybelle ☆ 𝙹𝙴𝙻𝙻𝚉𝚈 ☆ (@Jellzybelle) reported

    So to deal with this teeth grinding issue I have, I either need to deafen when playing Overwatch with friends... Or uninstall the game. Yesterday was really bad for it sooo I unno.

  • BradicalPrime Bradical Prime (@BradicalPrime) reported

    @Sailorpalutena @COGUMAZUERO I also play a lot of Overwatch on the switch and I’ve never had any connection issues

  • AzeraW84 AzeraPlays ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 (@AzeraW84) reported

    I am going to stream at some point tonight. I forgot to DL the game (Minecraft). I forgot what my login info was. I forgot what email it was. I am wasn't added to the server. Now I am trying to get in. If this doesn't work... I am playing Overwatch instead.

  • TheGldDragon The Gold Dragon you don't know but kinda like. (@TheGldDragon) reported

    @Postsemreh The internet and the need to be 'first to publish' has kept the normal ability for spell check and most types of overwatch on spelling and grammar errors.
