Manhattan, New York
@KIRNEILL I've been on W11 since insider beta and haven't really noticed issues. I'm over 400 fps in Valorant, don't play warzone so can't test. Overwatch 2 Beta ran great, all the story driven games I play hit 4k 90+fps. Seems more like diminishing returns to stay on Win10?

@AlandreaRogers @djknx Overwatch had this problem when hitscans had 70% dmg reduction and Phara/Echo being consistently free even against McCree/Soldier/Ashe. No it just isnt something Drogoz ever needs. You have rooftop surfing for that

@ehflep @ysl_guy @Spex_J I think it’s more than just wanting to divert all resources to overwatch 2, granted thats definitely a reason but it doesn’t really make sense to update a game that’s about to be completely replaced, which is why they promised a live service which guarantees constant updates.

@afflixtions And Overwatch 2 comes out as well so hope there will not be bugs and problems 1st half of the new season players will leave and check out Overwatch 2 because only thing that saved Apex in S13 was no big game release when the bugs and glitch happened players would've played OW2

@strehyed Whenever there’s a LOT going on on screen everything gets blurry. Only happens with Overwatch cause of how much actually happens. No matter how high I boost my bitrate it’s always a problem

@CODLeague @scump Never seen another esports organization with as many delays and stops as the CDL. Take Overwatch for example, another title under Activision/Blizzard. The players can initiate a pause in game or between matches and the issues are resolved in seconds or minutes.

@CaliberJacob Question. what do you do with all of the cosmetics that are in Siege 1? just throw them away or will we get the chance to port them over to Siege 2. if we allow porting, that may cause it's own set of issues. I just don't want an Overwatch 2 situation with siege

@PrValkyrie I remember super early "reviews" of smash bros ultimate, overwatch, and other competitive games getting completely flooded in "[thing] is completely broken, I keep dying, boohoo boohoo, I can't get good" just for a patch to drop the next day, but that 1/5 review doesn't change.

@Cristagalli @m4raspeakingfax @OWAnonymous_ Toxic players isn't an overwatch problem. They can be banned if they throw or say slurs but that's an inescapable part of the internet.

@allkpop @WekiMeki The overwatch game ended and they flashed an image of a fat white guy forcing a smile by the top right ceiling. They don't have to be in my life and I don't care what they think about my private activities in life so what's their problem? They put food smell in my nose now and

Ya know. I haven't felt so much RAGE over a game company **** up in a long time. I just found out blizzard has a issue where PSN apparently can't ******* connect to the overwatch 2 beta servers. I'm ACTUALLY pissed about this. I'm fighting with my system to get the thing to+

@AuraTrainerG @OverwatchNaeri @Helba_The_AI "Entitled to your money" ???? You paid for overwatch ONCE and received years of free content. They treated it like a live service game even though it wasn’t one. You knew what you were getting when you bought ow and ended up getting much more. Blizz doesn’t owe you a single thing

@CODCode904 Overwatch does have anticheat. But it's as bad as Rockstar's. If someone got caught, they had really bad cheats. Usually when a Windows game like this can run on Linux with absolutely no issues that's not a good sign because anticheats will usually flag a user if they're on Linux

@RandomTiger Wired connection gives same result of 55-60mbps and I play at all times of the day/night. I guess it could be the game servers? Battlefield/Siege/Halo/Overwatch lag & packet loss errors. Hopefully getting fibre soon, so guess I’ll just have to hold out. 🥲

@strangelesbian It's the overwatch effect at work, the fanart and official art has picked up the slack the company has been lagging on.

@GameSpot No surprise. Games come out broken, it takes them 1 year to clean up their bad code, all the while pressing you to buy content, but they don't release content to drive the game, then release the next 6. Look @Rainbow6Game for quality game and support & Overwatch.

@Spex_J Are there any plans to address the real problem with Overwatch and rework how overtime works for overwatch 2? 2cp would be fine if overtime and last second hero swaps weren't a thing. I mean just lock hero's during overtime and most of your problems go away.
