  • Cuddlefissh Ash (@Cuddlefissh) reported

    I hate playing overwatch because people will let a stupid number (My SR) be an accurate depiction of my worth. it’s just tiring and it gives me latter anxiety really bad, which is an issue i’ve had for two years now.

  • JINJlTSU ᴊɪɴ @ ᴍʜᴀ ꜱᴢɴ (@JINJlTSU) reported

    @WRWxBailable @pun_lord @PlayOverwatch Last night and I don’t have a problem with the current meta People are assuming I only meant balance as if that’s the only aspect of Overwatch 😣

  • fps_fern Fern (@fps_fern) reported

    Jeff quitting overwatch team and everyone going batshit like we don’t already know this game is done for LOL, competitive scene isn’t exactly thriving outside of OWL and people think OW2 will do **** when the devs can’t even fix the CURRENT game, get your heads out of the clouds

  • Wagyumi_CH ˚☆⋆ Wagyumi OW┆ VTuber 🏳️‍🌈🐄 ⋆☆˚ (@Wagyumi_CH) reported

    As you may have noticed I do not interact with a lot of the VTuber community anymore and that is because I have a problem trusting, I never fit in and my streams are not that of a usual VTuber standard. Overwatch is my new home and even though there is a lot of toxic people

  • RubenTr68117257 thed.vawaifu (@RubenTr68117257) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Spell trouble for overwatch 2 development Jeff Kaplan has joined dreamheaven I’m guessing I got a feeling somethings not going right behind the scenes a blizzard because the leader ship is under Activision and this is starting to make me worried

  • Kaebi_ Käebi (@Kaebi_) reported

    @itsjeanphilippe @Nibellion Overwatch is a "Game As A Service", so everyone expected him to stick with it some more years.

  • RickShaheen330 Rick (@RickShaheen330) reported

    @Stylosa Overwatch needs a more modern approach so I don't see a problem with this.

  • TillyBread Tilly (@TillyBread) reported

    I've long since withdrawn from Overwatch as a game and community, but Jeff Kaplan's departure has broken more than hearts. Whatever the reason for his decision, I hope he knows that he will be sorely missed, and that he finds a new and better home.

  • WilliHyde William Hyde (@WilliHyde) reported from Portland, Oregon

    Overwatch's matchmaking is beyond broken IMO.

  • chowosen chosen (@chowosen) reported

    @Gcblino Breaking News! Overwatch youtuber "stylosa" tragically dies in a plane crash while shooting a promotional video.

  • pearblimp 🌺 BobaOtter 🌺 (@pearblimp) reported

    my tablet's getting on my nerves everytime i stream anything the fps just drops and i can barely comprehend anything the issues i have with overwatch have seeped into my viewing experience and i HATE IT

  • MrSapphireRose Mr. Violet (@MrSapphireRose) reported

    @YHWdrawings Overwatch is the same too 😔😔😔 companies like HI-REZ and Blizzard really need to fix obvious issues...

  • WildcardJF Jeremy Fortin (@WildcardJF) reported

    @LaydoTV @syberghost @Dexerto No I think he is talking about the point that is it isn't done exactly how XqC wants it than he has an issue with it. And i get it, XqC has been banned from Overwatch, the NoPixel GTA RP server multiple times, and from other things because of his aggressive attitude

  • followTachyon Ian (@followTachyon) reported

    Seeing the followers number go down since I started tweeting mostly about genshin was also pretty funny, tweeting about inane issues with collegiate and overwatch while realising those things would never get fixed got old fast More genshin tweets to come, frick collegiate/OW 🤠

  • Kiepomas Kiepomas (@Kiepomas) reported

    Huh, I still get unnecessarily angry at Overwatch even when I play it on my PS5.... Weird. Thought the new console would fix that for some reason

  • OneTastyChip_ Chip (@OneTastyChip_) reported

    @SkrunkTV I went home and got on my pc and play overwatch for three hours with zero problems. It hurts a bit, but its not the worst.

  • xviinight Alejandro Moreno 🇻🇪 (@xviinight) reported

    I'm getting better at apex. It's very satisfying. I find errors in my gun fights/ game decisions & correct them. The goal is perpetual improvement. My mind & reflexes are sharpening. I was really burnt out on overwatch 0 motivation.

  • StarCompass_ZVX zvx (@StarCompass_ZVX) reported

    Overwatch will crash if i alt tab, ONLY in the middle of comp :(

  • Handstand__ Handstand (@Handstand__) reported

    Overwatch is feeling fun again, might swap until they fix the cheating situation in Apex, its so bad diamond and above.

  • Marika_Squirrel Marika (@Marika_Squirrel) reported

    If this game penalizes me one more ******* time for leaving a bullshit match full of ******* retards I swear to ******* god I will uninstall and never play a Blizzard game ever again. @Blizzard_Ent Get your ******* **** together! #Overwatch Oh and fix my god damn voice chat. +

  • ZenoKagemaru Zeno, The Truth (@ZenoKagemaru) reported

    Another night of boredom, this time featuring a personal reminder why I quit Overwatch; because it’s bad for my health. It’s a colossal problem when nobody is doing anything to even pretend they know what teamwork is, and it’s even worse to be put in genuine pain because of it.

  • casualmemer8 casualmemer (@casualmemer8) reported

    @Ashish_sin18 @HYPEX ok? it's overwatch art. and the guy's talented. so i dont see the problem here.

  • weremagames Weremagames 👾 (@weremagames) reported

    is there a dating service that targets #gamers and have they made a joke about how their matchmaking is better than OVERWATCH’s

  • Worldwide_Wonho WORLDWIDE WONHO (@Worldwide_Wonho) reported

    210419 | FANCAFE UPDATE Wonho replied to a game recommendation 👤: Overwatch. PUBG Mobile 🐰: Don't you have to pay for Overwatch? 🔍: I'm assuming he's referring to PlayStation's online service 🚫 Don't tag official accounts 🚫

  • bballpro1800 TheBBallpro1800 (@bballpro1800) reported

  • dokkabae (@dokkabae) reported

    @Stylosa if overwatch 2 ends up being a well run live service game; we’re laughing

  • mintmakesthings Minty Fresh✨ (@mintmakesthings) reported

    @pocketghosts my guess is that overwatch 2 development is going super smoothly with no problems at all

  • Gawain_Shinkiro Zero (@Gawain_Shinkiro) reported

    @Wario64 No problems with Overwatch 2 at all........

  • schwarzer_z 黒い雨 SchwarzerRegen (@schwarzer_z) reported

    @Win98Tech Overwatch in general the worst part is I bought way too many loot boxes, they turned such a promising game into a game that constantly had broken metas into a queue simulator severely punishing players who want to play DPS..they've gone a year and a half without any new content -

  • spidersmell spider🕷🕸 (@spidersmell) reported
