    @diegosalnav Overwatch fue un error

  • DPV_art Domenico Pisano (@DPV_art) reported

    @geoffkeighley But do we really need a new overwatch? They could have used those resources to improve and fix and balanced...basically all the characters! Plus the new modes could have been implemented as well in the first one.

  • don_dodda123 Freakzilla Scott Steiner 😎 (@don_dodda123) reported

    I feel like COD could be on switch if they can make games like Doom, Overwatch, and The Witcher run fine on it then I dont see the problem with Call of duty

  • joanlemmesmash Lexie. #B.L.M (@joanlemmesmash) reported

    not sure if work vpn making overwatch kick me from games or if overwatch is having server issues lol

  • itsheartilly heartilly (@itsheartilly) reported

    overwatch and its perpetual issue of same-facedness (especially the skins where a hero is made to supposedly look more "asian") is ******* TIRING.

  • bandicootpage CRASH BANDICOOT CLUBHOUSE (@bandicootpage) reported

    Looking ahead to Q4 2021 Activision will be releasing their annual Call of Duty title alongside another full priced title. We already know Diablo and Overwatch are not coming this year but whether or not this means Crash or Spyro remains to be seen.

    @OWAnonymous_ therapy lol it’s literally a game. if you’re this mad at some pixels this isn’t just an overwatch problem

  • mint_blossoms jasmine ♡ (@mint_blossoms) reported

    @yakouseiii I think I only ever spent money on overwatch lootboxes at one point and was lucky I got stuff I wanted OR I had enough in-game currency to buy the things I wanted instead. It's a problem when people act out like I've seen, it's something you need to accept when starting a

  • okLifeisGood Marty (@okLifeisGood) reported

    @CSGO Can u please fix overwatch i play cheaters everygame it feels like. im tired of winning a game and then they pause and come back with a kid who is spin botting because they cant lose to better players

  • warrystars Rey Kenobodi lost the Star Wars (@warrystars) reported

    @Siothemememan @WarpstarCardia @geoffkeighley The hell is your problem? Another bootlicker, no worries it's not a crusade against your Overwatch waifus, you'd rather sound like you're siding with Blizzard against human rights issues than let people mildly criticize them. Idiot.

  • 100milfz Echo McDiamondknuckles (@100milfz) reported

    I see overwatch tried to fix their queue time issue by... ahem... creating priority passes??

  • piggiepai piggie pie (@piggiepai) reported

    there are so many problems with overwatch and the devs are insanely slow with addressing them

  • snakuwu ⋆*snakuスナク*⋆ (@snakuwu) reported

    Overwatch is the worst game to ever exist, broken *** game.

  • Swindyswindy Mike Swindell (@Swindyswindy) reported

    @Stylosa @stylosa Is there anything you can tell me about Blizzard connectivity? I play PS4 and LOVE Overwatch but can't play due to me getting sporadically disconnected and banned for faults that aren't my own. I play a lot of other online games and have no issue whatsoever with them??

  • NotoriousVIDA VIDA (@NotoriousVIDA) reported

    @RK_Crown It's the truth, dawg. You've seen me play. Problem is: There are too many selfish cucks that play Overwatch and not enough team players. I am a leader on that battlefield, dawg.

  • OtterCrispy Crispy-otter 🍃🐰(commissions closed💖 ) (@OtterCrispy) reported

    @tired_tiefling_ So people stop playing and that right their plays into Overwatches problem, Nothing happens so the entirety of the game becomes boring and no one wants to engage and then all of a sudden you don't have any interest in the game anymore

  • ThinhVo20 masterasia (@ThinhVo20) reported

    @James_ENTMT_ @VentureBeat @Tolkoto Nah. It just objective fact. They literally leak overwatch 2 about 6 months before blizzcon to hype up hotel ticket and convention. If anything they would be in more trouble if they didn’t show it on that day.

  • WeirFoxcoon Divine Beast Vah Weir (@WeirFoxcoon) reported

    I'm having some unexplained performance issues while playing #Overwatch. There's constant frame drops making it impossible to play. I have no idea what causes it. @PlayOverwatch

  • Sp1ritB0x Heml0ck (@Sp1ritB0x) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ the problem goes waaay deeper than just overwatch bud...

  • recklessly_x xRecklessly (@recklessly_x) reported

    @_TomHenderson_ They have: crash,cod,diablo,overwatch,candycrush.

  • FazolianZ Fazolian (@FazolianZ) reported

    I'd much rather have overwatch 2 come out in 2024 polished and ready to go while having updates to the main game and story regularly. My problem is that we havent gotten anything in three years or so.

  • taliehaze Hazeebabie (@taliehaze) reported

    Anyone else having issues with #overwatch loading for them still? It’s been a few hours...

  • TheFilmandGame1 The Film and Games nerd (@TheFilmandGame1) reported

    @CallofDutyHope Two more franchises Crash and Overwatch perhaps .

  • pillar_of_sa1t Stunt Double (@pillar_of_sa1t) reported

    @JillFilipovic What would the police do if women just started taking care of their own? Like, women set up a nightly overwatch service, escorted other women and beat the **** out of this guy?

  • Brenna_AM_ Brenna 🌈 (@Brenna_AM_) reported

    there better be some god damn content for OW1 on the way this year if Overwatch 2 isn't coming out for another new main maps please or fix the ones that are removed from rotation or people just straight up don't like playing both SOMETHING pls

  • JohhadaMikael Sir Seal (@JohhadaMikael) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I remember having at least three times as much fun in overwatch when TTK was high and rein/zarya was the go-to tank lineup. This is a gravely serious problem with your game. Your sales would actually go up if you removed some toxic heroes.

  • kizuato_vw kizuato_vw (@kizuato_vw) reported

    My girl left me, black clover last episode is in March and overwatch 2 won't release until 2022......... I'm just a broken man beyond repair 😔😭

  • drfrogscreams frog (@drfrogscreams) reported

    I don’t think I’m good at overwatch because when someone tbags me I don’t care about winning anymore I just focus on bullying them and the problem with that is that I play support
