  • Gztsby Gats (@Gztsby) reported

    @GreedyReturns Yeah that’s exactly what’s happening to me but, I’m getting no packet loss not lagging in parties and my Spotify doesn’t stop, phone doesn’t do etc so I think it’s overwatch

  • kipokocat kipoko (@kipokocat) reported

    overwatch better fix their lootboxes in ow2. theres 0 point in grinding for an event if the only legendaries you get arent event related

  • FiresideJay Jay: Please release Metroid Dread Already (@FiresideJay) reported

    Man it sucks that people are probably still gonna buy CoD, Crash, Overwatch 2, or whatever ******** and just keep support activision/blizz despite how insanely ****** all this stuff coming out is

  • NoraReed having fun on the computer (@NoraReed) reported

    i have had, in my life, 4 games where i played with all my friends and it was great: neopets, glitch, overwatch, and pubg

  • SparksEchidna Sparks the Echidna - Jr Sol Knight (@SparksEchidna) reported

    @Cyndafrost5 I stopped playing overwatch because of their ****** actions. I honestly can't give up Crash because I just got recently and love it so much, but Crash and Spyro NEED to be bought by another company because this **** irredeemable and I am NEVER buying another Activision product

  • _rockunroll Rock🍀 (@_rockunroll) reported

    cant wait for blizzard to """fix""" their horrible treatment towards their women employees by revealing another gay character at overwatch :) !! fun! (no its not fun, ******* hate blizzard)

  • Rufless_Lemon Lemon (@Rufless_Lemon) reported

    @pogchampmale @Briansc80086688 @Ohmwrecker Coning from a guy who's name is "pogchampmale" Your name and your pfp is grade A ***** repellent. Stop sucking off a Overwatch team and find a girl to fix your nerdy ***, if she aint creeped out by your unhealthy obsession with Dallas.

  • ismailkidd Papa Ish (@ismailkidd) reported

    Yet 20k people watching Overwatch & 19K watching streams of @CallofDuty on @Twitch don’t seem to have a problem with Activision. It’s ******* pathetic.

  • NyanSox NyanSox #BLM (@NyanSox) reported

    No wonder Blizzard cant do anything to fix Overwatch, they are too busy being abusive to their female employees...

  • Borra_Sol Prodigal Gal 🤍 (@Borra_Sol) reported

    Havin' a fun little game zip zap and blastin' people as tracy in overwatch but my internet is possessed by internet demons and they're mad at me so I disconnect every 10 min and can't finish a game. I cry. End of storytime.

  • nerdyviews Elton Wong 🚫👻 (@nerdyviews) reported

    @BlizzardC There issues with your servers tonight. I've been disconnected from my last 4 #overwatch games on Xbox. Please fix!

  • MaverickPrimeGB Gustavo Borealis (@MaverickPrimeGB) reported

    @Cheetimus My biggest problem is not even the lack of transformation, it is that they seem really cheap when Marvel Legends are putting out amazing stuff, just like the Lightning Colection or even the extinct Overwatch series they did.

  • NoraReed having fun on the computer (@NoraReed) reported

    i only got bored and stopped playing one of those! glitch **** down, pubg made all the guns bad, and overwatch made itself bad to play

  • SupesSMTR Smutters: Count Your Sins (@SupesSMTR) reported

    @ShenZxro I feel a little ****** up for thinking that getting people talking about the Crash Bundle was their way of covering it up *this* time, similar to when they did that **** with Overwatch the last few times

  • lottieratworld Rats R Cool!!! Click Here to Enter! (@lottieratworld) reported

    seems kind of out of touch to be like "i wish OVERWATCH didnt belong to blizzard!!" in reaction to the blizzard activision **** like... the mistreatment of their employees u know, inherently affects the product. and the product has its own ****** problems

  • Recon22038713 Cowboy Ghost (@Recon22038713) reported

    @Frank07963325 @StebbersT @charlieINTEL You have a good mindset. I read everything and this isn't main activision's problem It's Blizzard Entertainment. I don't play overwatch anyways so I already got the don't play their games part.

  • say_kaze kaze (@say_kaze) reported

    For now, without a proper solution to FIX the situation instead of them paying their way out of the lawsuit, I won't be supporting any Blizzard related games, that includes playing Overwatch and any other games. (4/4)

  • RaimaNdTV RaimaNd (@RaimaNdTV) reported

    @ishaannnnnnnn @CSGO People receive no XP for overwatch for many months now, people also found out that many player who cheated in OW don't get banned and keep playing. When will Valve talk about that and fix it? Also please separate nonprime/prime unranked and remove OW from nonprime matches.

  • starflame starf (@starflame) reported

    Compared, games like Overwatch or Valorant run absolutely flawless. They don't have these bugs. Apex feels almost like Warzone in terms of general input lag feel. But with admin mode and g-sync properly set up with RTSS it actually feels good, OBS or not.

  • aj__doodle AJ 🏳️‍🌈 (@aj__doodle) reported

    Love that everytime I get the urge to re-download Overwatch, Blizzard gets itself into more trouble and it just pushes my desire away LMFAO! **** Blizzard

    @Anonymous @AnonymousFamily #COINTLEPRO ?? : GLITCH < OSINT / ELINT >> #OVERWATCH

  • AcedZenix AcedZenix (@AcedZenix) reported

    Overwatch Community: Please fix the game stop with these horrid patches Blizzard Employees: yo guys wanna watch me cube crawl haha

  • nerdyviews Elton Wong 🚫👻 (@nerdyviews) reported

    @BlizzardCS There issues with your #Overwatch servers tonight. I've been disconnected from my last 4 #overwatch games on Xbox. Please fix!

  • itsmrmask ⚡Indiana Tan is...Mr. Mask! (@itsmrmask) reported

    I used to play Hearthstone every day, it was my work commute game. Deleting it and selling Overwatch were not actions that broke my heart or made me feel disappointment (because both have always had glaring gameplay issues) but made me know my money wasn't going to facists.

  • spiice___ ⚠ pinned tweet!!📍 (@spiice___) reported

    @P3achsoda22 and i wanted to work for them too.. it was literally my dream to become a concept artist for overwatch... it feels like a little part of me has been broken 😟 not a woman even, I'm NB, but fem presenting...

  • jackiegamescx 𝑱 𝒂 𝒄 𝒌 𝒊 𝒆 ❀ (@jackiegamescx) reported

    Overwatch competitive is so broken

  • PATFORMER PATRINIZER (@PATFORMER) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent I am experiencing alot of technical issues in Overwatch. I'm from Europe & when play as any hero, they freeze in place during the start of the match/at random and cannot move from the spot. It then loads and either sends me to the spawn point or back to the menu.

  • BeeeanyOW Beany (@BeeeanyOW) reported

    Why do the Overwatch devs think that pouring all their ressources into a sequel of a game that has been dying for 5 years is going to save everything? Neglecting the 1st game is the biggest issue there is.

  • Str1ngerBell CFB GURU (@Str1ngerBell) reported

    @ItsTraZix @HitBox_Hiros verbal is enough, employers won’t know the context in most scenarios, unfortunately. but, i think you can talk about problem solving, adapting to new metas, etc..effectively in an interview. I talked about Overwatch for an hour in my final interview in my 1st job & got hired lol

  • DoofenshmirtzE7 Crow (@DoofenshmirtzE7) reported

    @ChristinaTasty There's nothing a couple of gay overwatch characters can't fix...
