  • SailorrSeb Seb (@SailorrSeb) reported

    I can't tell you how many times I've had quadruple kills today and play of the game has gone to some basic ****. Tell me POTG isn't broken #overwatch

  • Flamingarrow72 Branden Reyes (@Flamingarrow72) reported

    @kronole404 @IGN No, just don't buy things IG, I'm still playing overwatch and don't plan on stopping mainly cause its been proven the the ow team isn't part of the issue and also because I have a crippling addiction.

  • Just__Purrfect 🌿W∆CK0 🌿 (@Just__Purrfect) reported

    I have no problem leaving Overwatch after the blizzard controversy They lost me with the trash ranking system and the most likely overpriced dlc painted as a sequel

  • TedsCousinOW Dylan McLaughlin (@TedsCousinOW) reported

    @CheriifulVT @AriyaSusanto Overwatch isn’t dead by a long shot. It still has one of the highest fan bases of any game and one of the biggest competitive scene the only issue it has is that there is no content because they are working ow2 to appeal to both audiences and only make it bigger than it is.

  • RevanRen_ Ren (@RevanRen_) reported

    @rosecloverrr @SFShock @SF_Shockwaves Well why tho? Blizzard overwatch is not the group in trouble and has those accusations, that’s all involving the other team in charge of cod’s and wow not overwatch, Breaking the contract because of another group under a different name has done wouldn’t help or change anything

  • Reignited_Spyro Reignited Spyro (@Reignited_Spyro) reported

    @kzinssiebroiler @JUSTINtime4aLAF Overwatch is one of the most popular hero shooters out there, WoW has been a worldwide sensation since day one, and even people who've never touched a controller know what CoD is. Sadly the same really can't say the same for Spyro and Crash.

  • MorgluxiaXII Morgluxia🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@MorgluxiaXII) reported

    Even if there weren't a strike happening, it's still a good idea to stop playing Actiblizz games. Overwatch is a gambling app, Call of Duty's playerbase is beyond toxic, and they're not afraid to load a game like Crash Racing with microtransactions only after it gets good reviews

  • Ewesson_ow Ewesson (@Ewesson_ow) reported

    Small thread about OW ranked : I think 2-2-2 needs to be removed from soloQ Overwatch even tho it's not the competitive format. The problem with 2-2-2 beyond Q times is that there just are not enough dedicated tank players that play that game at such a high enough level 1/x

  • Tw1stedMK Twisted (@Tw1stedMK) reported

    @rosecloverrr @SFShock @SF_Shockwaves Blizzard overwatch isn’t the issue, and u don’t understand the complications it would cause to do that

  • RiverPlatypus River 🇨🇦 ♠ (@RiverPlatypus) reported

    Side note, now I don't feel the need to fix my driver issues. Overwatch was the only thing that worked better on Linux than Windows, but drivers aren't working on either right now (Nvidia on Linux, left and middle clicks on Windows).

  • Reignited_Spyro Reignited Spyro (@Reignited_Spyro) reported

    @JUSTINtime4aLAF Overwatch and WoW? Definitely. But Spyro and Crash DO NOT deserve to be dragged into this. If you really want to go this route, go after their real momey makers, not a pair of platformer mascots who realistically don't even bring in a fraction of Activision's earnings.

  • AriaCallaghan Aria Callaghan (@AriaCallaghan) reported

    hey i have a cute bag but the problem is it has the overwatch logo on it, is there a safe way to remove printed stuff from faux leather?

  • haloofthoughts Arran “Halo” Spake (@haloofthoughts) reported

    @LotharHS I think it’s an issue for some us of because there is a large number of players that have come from the Overwatch pro scenes and seen that nearly completely collapse because the support wasn’t there. I agree with what your saying but smaller ignition type series would help

  • BannedLULW BackFromTheGrave (@BannedLULW) reported

    @ATVI_AB @Activision Don’t give a **** fix Overwatch and delete gap from the game

  • CaptainMangDiaz MicDiazMangRing #BeothricisComing (@CaptainMangDiaz) reported

    You know? Due to the Activision and Blizzard problems, do you think that Lego may drop out of the Lego Overwatch deal?

  • AzureStrikerRai Lovable Scrunko (@AzureStrikerRai) reported

    What Blizzard game should I play? Overwatch? Call of Duty? Crash? #ActiBlizzWalkout

  • JessePyroTV BiJessePyro 💞💜💙💕🌈 I LOVE CATS (@JessePyroTV) reported

    @ItsSunnieP GET EM GRRRRRL ... if i was not on public wifi, i’d be playing as well .. already bad enough overwatch and splatoon had lag issues One time i played apex legends, my character was walking like they were in mud & quicksand .... and died quickly cause the lag...

  • AshritGoyal Ashrit Goyal (@AshritGoyal) reported

    @BlackJack_casts I want ubisoft to go all insane and buff everyone at this point this game is going through the same issue that overwatch did and that game really died for most people

  • GhostieWitch 🤍🖤💀Gothy Senpai💀🖤🤍 (@GhostieWitch) reported

    @ATVI_AB @Blizzard_Ent its not the game content that was the issue. Its the quality of your games and how you treat people. You arent sorry about anything besides the money loss you are about to have. Im sorry, but as much as i loved overwatch, i cannot support your next game till i see the change.

  • SkylerFoxy Skyler ❄️🦊 (@SkylerFoxy) reported

    Today is the #ActiBlizzWalkout - to stand with employees, please don't play any Activision or Blizzard games today, including games in these series: Overwatch World of Warcraft Starcraft Hearthstone Diablo Warcraft Heroes of the Storm Call of Duty Tony Hawk Spyro Crash Bandicoot

  • Craig99mc CraigMc (@Craig99mc) reported

    @sasukesheisty @charlieINTEL A problem you have there though is that CoD has nothing to do with this case, they just publish the game not make it. And if that was the case it wouldn't just be CoD, it would be also overwatch, crash bandicoot, spyro, sekiro and the many other Activision published games.

  • GiCatlin Gia Catlin (@GiCatlin) reported

    @strtdvdsn I have the same problem 😟 I used to play mostly single-player games, but then I got into Overwatch. It's so difficult to get back into them now because I find that I get bored quickly.

  • Peytendo_YT Peytendo (@Peytendo_YT) reported

    @PizzaGamecube @CrashSpyroBanjo @Canadianguyehh I'm not saying Activision is innocent. They merged with blizzard. I'm saying they are basically two different companies. That's why you don't see the Activision logo on games like overwatch. By not buying crash or Spyro games your not punishing blizzard the main problem here

  • kebab_ba Se Ba (@kebab_ba) reported

    @ATVI_AB I don't care too much about your lawsuit. But just take 20 seconds and implement 50 avoid slots in Overwatch. IF I DONT FIND GAMES, THAT IS MY ******* PROBLEM. 70% of the player base is just mentally unstable or just unable/unwilling to focus and TRY TO WIN #Overwatch

  • Stegosaurus7906 Jonathan (@Stegosaurus7906) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Took you that long??? I got overwatch right after release on console and got a computer april 2020 and been playing pc only since then. Got more than used to it like by the end of 2020 maybe earlier. And if you have literally never touched a mouse before 2020 you have issues

  • YeslekGreb Just Kel (@YeslekGreb) reported

    @BlizzardCS why do you have the worst possible system for creating tickets to report issues. Fix the ability to reconnect to games in Overwatch ffs

  • Seagre3n I need healing (@Seagre3n) reported

    please stop saying supports in overwatch are broken/the biggest hard carry i stg im literally losing my mind over that **** you literally play McCree or Hog how dare you say that supports are the hardest carry in this game when half of them cant hit headshots holy mother *******

  • BannedLULW BackFromTheGrave (@BannedLULW) reported

    @ATVI_AB @Activision Don’t give a **** fix Overwatch and delete bap from the game

  • Conrthomas Conner (@Conrthomas) reported

    @JulesBjorn I would still watch Overwatch on Twitch because I don't think streamers deserve to take a hit to their revenue/viewcount/etc because of something that is wholly Blizzard's problem. Not streaming Overwatch would hurt streamers way more than it would punish Blizzard.

  • Liquios1 Liquios (@Liquios1) reported

    @ZaroOCE @HoshizoraOW Apparently the Dev team of Overwatch didn't had any issues.
