    This is also the last time I try to even play overwatch on stream until I can update my setup or they fix this bullshit cause I just can't ******* deal with it anymore. It happened 5 times today, every game I tried to play it happened, I want to know why it only happens on it

    @antwon_exe @PlayOverwatch There’s actually a fix for this! Open overwatch, press play>training>practice range. That should fix it!

  • nurodev
    Ben (@nurodev) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Unsure how true this is but according to a friend Starlink will send a TCP reset / RST request after a disconnect is longer than 2 seconds, which most games correctly interprupt in different ways & Overwatch it seems takes it as a "Kick to the login screen"

    4. Honestly, it was always Overwatch (1). As often as not I felt bad about myself after playing for a while, but I kept coming back. OW2 is not that - it's past guilt into "we've had past issues, but now you're fully toxic and I'm sorry but I can't have you in my life anymore"

    @iLootGames am i not allowed to not like either? I played apex from day one and quit in season 13, got bored and the game has too many issues. Warzone im bad at and always get rolled by sweats, prefer fortnite for BR and Overwatch

    and not on any other ******* game I play, I can play anything else just fine but for some reason Overwatch will ******* disconnect me from the internet randomly and several times in a ******* row whenever I play it. The only time it didn't was last night so ******* fix your game

    @Luminalmvm @TejaFX @_Lunadria_ Weird how you ignore Activision and Blizzard then, do some research if you believe the people that are the issue are gone, but you wont cuz you dont wanna quit Overwatch

  • Britboytrev97

    @PlayOverwatch Seen "The best gift is spending" and was like overwatch is finally admitting the money is a problem?

    @ILikeTsuKiNo @AcidQueenOW any other occasion id agree but there were a lot of moments where i threw bc my lag was so bad :,) loove overwatch 2 and missing shots i already had lined up

  • Mattkiker4
    Matt_kiker (@Mattkiker4) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix your MMR in Overwatch 2 competitive is bs when you can’t even find a team or they quit or they throw games to stop people from ranking up pretty ****** up if you ask me

  • WickedGood
    Steve Lubitz (@WickedGood) reported

    @ZombiesGoNomNom @SuperiorDavidHS I think if they can have next year’s at BlizzCon it will hit different, for sure, but the issue is that esports isn’t a profit center on its own like it is for Riot or even for Overwatch, and so it’s been asked to do more with less

  • CorneliusZoom
    Cornelius 'Zoom' Thompson (@CorneliusZoom) reported

    @MukiHyena I played Halo infinite (This would apply to any Halo anyway) after Overwatch and found that my aim improved with snipers and everything else I now sucked at using. I couldn't use snipers before. And I keep trying to use positioning in Halo, as if that ******* matters. I'm Broken.

    @OW_SVB FIX OVERWATCH LEAGUE!

  • ainomeaD

    @Blizzard_Ent fix ranked on overwatch 2 already! Also just some salt, but heck your rank decay nonsense! I was gold 4 and now cause rank is based on wins not how good you play (double edged, that) but by how often you win or lose, I'm hard stuck silver 1

  • woof_ow
    Woof (@woof_ow) reported

    There is no possible way to balance current overwatch, blizzard needs to release as many heroes as fast as possible. I dont care how op they are, the sooner we get more heroes the sooner they can add a ban system which would fix so many of the games problems.

  • StarryElsker

    im having internet issues when all i want is too play overwatch, c'mon its Christmas eve let me play for 10 hours pleaseee <:]

    Luminal (@Luminalmvm) reported

    @redwingbuff @TejaFX @_Lunadria_ Where am I promoting valorant? I don’t play it either. And yes i know the issue w blizzard, my view’s that they removed the people who were part of the issue & the overwatch team weren’t involved with that. End of the day enjoy what u want but accept valid criticism of them

  • RandomIdeas03
    TheMuSic (@RandomIdeas03) reported

    @OrdnajelaSomar @excryptor @thegameawards But that IS the problem. U4's have nothing unique to offer beyond the good story. And the gameplay itself have almost no afect on the story. So as far as gameplay goes I think Overwatch deserved more, for its gameplay, polishment and support.

  • LuLuCatcher
    Lu (@LuLuCatcher) reported

    @Surefour Overwatch in general has a content problem. Heroes releases too infrequently, skins are priced too high with skins not releasing frequently enough, shop is barren, map rotations being a thing, reusing Holiday events ALREADY. How do some heroes still only have 3 Highlight intros

    @ItsSomjuu overwatch is one of those games where both high and low elo seem to have the EXACT same problems LMFAO

  • Wildrose1556

    @SuperButterBuns Does overwatch 2 still have the same social problems as 1? Do people still do the whole "I have gold heals as Soldier, he's a healer" thing or instalocking hanzo?

    @OW_SVB @EskayOW For competitive overwatch for sure I agree 100% franchising stinks. But also ow hasn’t supported tier2 or below scene which is a major issue
