@Blizzard_Ent destroying Overwatch cause you’re money hungry rather than actually looking into the problem. How have you turned ow into the state it’s in now. #deleteow #overwatchisgay

@PlayOverwatch Will you make sure to fix wallclimb in Overwatch 2? Because you never did in Overwatch 1.

I don't usually have this problem, I say, as I only slept for like two hours instead of my usual 15. Trying this sleep thing again, because I'm absolutely horrid at Overwatch.

@Jay7Ow @OWAnonymous_ When it happens in every other ow game with a woman in it, it's an overwatch problem. Therefore, an overwatch take.

@TheFireDen @OmidLotfi17 @HyuugaBB in situations where the enemies are hesitant to break a shield, it can lead to boring matches especially since once you destroy the shield, there is another one immediately up. overwatch has had that issue with combining 2 strong shield tanks, therefore their shields got nerfed.

That's not a ******* joke. We had a problem with people who were spectating complaining about the smell of the room at our Smash events that we had to add a rule about it. We hold stuff for League, Overwatch, most fighters, you name it. No problems with them. **** Smash. (2/2)

I think Blizzard changes their mind every month when it comes to balancing Overwatch. One month they are like "we're gonna fix the Powercreep issue" Next month they're buffing powercreep again, it literally makes no sense to me 🙃

@Seb2_UbiDev @TheGodlyNoob Problem is, it feels like every single attempt at Siege art is targeting an audiance playing Overwatch or Fortnite. If you showed people what was the Rainbow Six Series about up to Siege 2016, i think they'd call it either too hard or not appealing to them.

Lagging issue pretty much solved, kinda not really though😭, although I figured out it's only steam games that have trouble rendering, and keeping up with frames, so I'm streaming overwatch in about 20 mins

I literally hate Overwatch right now! I feel like all the characters are broken in there own sense, but I think the biggest issue right now is arrogant players who think they’re better and don’t switch to different characters to help cause it’s their main, idk #Overwatch

The thing that annoys me about overwatch comp is that people play who they want to play and not necessarily who needs to be played to address certain issues, and because of that we sometimes like in an area, annoying

@m2ro_ @necros_ow This is not real, the real Overwatch forums people would have said "everyone can play Genji, he is broken", are they evolving?

@BehemothOW Good for you! I'm done with Overwatch. They have teased their fans with a promo back in 2019 and all indications point to the fact that the game isn't coming out until 2022! Say what?! Why bother playing a game with a broken competitive ranking system and sparse new content?

@AghajiOgechi @Frosty2495 Overwatch isn't even remotely comparable to the problems of Legend of Korra.

@InfernoOmni Overwatch is a good game, and one of the biggest problems is not the balance team, but the player base's lack of knowledge about the game.

have you considered googling your problems in overwatch to see if anyone else has overcome them? no, you just assume because of your rank you don't have to learn, huh

Sadly, not talking about Overwatch and it's poor balancing means I don't get to title a section "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Mercy-a" but I can probably use that bit for part 4.

@ReverieDawns Blizzard can't prevent cheaters in Overwatch either - their miltimillion dollar esports game. The best thing that happened for anti-cheat with blizzard was a fan run service that looked for cheaters, found the source of the hack, bought it & shipped it to blizz for cracking
