@ArtStarcross A lot that platform fighters generally do not have. It's either moderate or even absurd movement tech like air dashing all the way up to replicating that one Genji super dash glitch in vanilla Overwatch.

I was trying this out with Overwatch at 2am and although I'd disconnect because since the usb cable I was using isn't too stable due to it's length and fit I suppose (I'm using a different one now). There was higher latency than I'm used to but that's to be expected since

Instead of agreeing to the terms of service , people should take an IQ test before they play games. Overwatch would be so fun

@NomRandom @JavaadWALRUS @OWAnonymous_ Yes. Keywords are meant to be hashtagged and just coz I already hashtagged a keyword doesn't mean I shouldn't be doing it again. Why do you have a problem with my hashtags anyway? Are you trying to change the subject coz you don't wanna admit that #Overwatch pioneered it all? 🤨

@BlizzardCS Hey Blizzard, why tf can’t I play Overwatch? Can’t apply update error every time. If this is an April Fools joke it isn’t funny, it’s just annoying.

@BlizzardCS Is this connected to Playstation Overwatch just not working today? Because if so, fix it now. It’s unplayable right now. I get bugged out of every game mode and just don’t load in at all. Experimental, Quick play, Custom games, you name it.

Searching for a competitive match on Overwatch on Switch. I get an error applying update, and the game throws me back to the start screen. Upon re-entering the game, I'm advised I'm suspended from competitive for 15 mins. Punished for your error, thanks Overwatch! 🤦

@Zyante_ @iTzHaRoNa @OWAnonymous_ My whole point is that there is no representation of black women in overwatch so according to you, I should just stop playing the game. Also no that doesn't solve the problem, there still is a lack of diversity and representation there for black people so...??

@shanejblair At least they aren't Ubisoft - I love AC but I know every new AC will have some sort of bug in it... Overwatch had balance problems but no actual game bugs.

People who DDOS/use stressers on Overwatch are total losers. I can’t play 3 games of comp without having to unplug my router.

Why is no one talking about how overwatch servers are broken? I am stuck on applying update screen, and before that in another game my duo was stuck on the same screen

@Icex69 @OG_Punchy @Outriders Like what? Overwatch couldn't even launch. Many many AAA games have plenty of issues. I'm just not a well known critic like you..

@katventute I'm just saying, if they did get a character from that company, I think they'd go with Crash way before they went with an Overwatch character. Hell, even if they did go with specifically a Blizzard character, I think Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo have had biggest impacts.

@BulmaBunnyGirl I've never played Overwatch but I've seen enough memes to know what's going on. There's 1 key problem with the game: severe lack of the Chazz!
