  Int ruins others game and I would never do that for anyone. Toxicity is something that we should fix in Overwatch. We all need to be better

  I have a weird issue with my Overwatch, when I alt-tab out and in, my game runs smoothly and then 5 seconds after it feels like it drops to 60hz, while the game is consistently running on 300 FPS. When I alt-tab again it stays smooth for 5 seconds and then goes choppy after. help

  @StandardBool @Slasher Thing is with overwatch 90% of the so called "Smurfs" are making a new account and climbing as quick as possible. It isnt a problem.

  My brother has an issue with (found it using Overwatch network stats display). His ping on Playstation 4 is like 150ms, but when playing on the Xbox One its 200+. Anyone had issues like this in the past?

  Overwatch could fix a lot of problems by making a random character op once a day and rotate them out so nothing gets stale and the meta is ever shifting.

  If you need to drink to play ranked is it a drinking problem or an Overwatch problem.

  i just reopened valorant for the first time in months and honestly, i think my problem is that i'm TOO skilled. apex and overwatch have made me so good at tracking moving targets that i can't hit shots on barely-moving enemies anymore. tragic but true :/

  Apologies for the delayed post, it was scheduled for tomorrow, so we got it up now. Also note, Blizzard is currently investigating issues with the Overwatch Contenders website not loading at times.

  @igmrevaporation Fun fact: the company that made all of the fortnite skin’s models are the same company who made the character models in Crash 4 (and also overwatch), they can EASILY bring those models into fortnite 👍🏻

  @pftjschut Ya its upsetting Strange thing with overwatch tho is people used to get banned for playing on linux using wine but blizzard reverted all the bans and now say that there is no problem with playing the game on linux So like at that point you should just port it right?

  @itshundredz Overwatches ranked system is just as broken as apex’s in my opinion. Could you elaborate on what u mean?

  I'm facing some issues. Currently rewriting my program to extract the data out of the Overwatch patches. It might take some time. Sorry!

  @igmrevaporation That too but I was referring to @/airbornstudios, they’ve been sharing crash/overwatch/fortnite stuff lately.

  So can y’all fix your game please? And stop trying to be like overwatch please? @PlayApex @Respawn y’all are doing a great job of losing your community I already know right off the bat 10 people close to me who have quit apex all together...keep it up lol.

  Apex was having issues which I will address and try to fix. But when we went on Overwatch, we dominated. See ya next time

  @_PLAYERR1 The issue is you have overwatch installed and you're trying to play it. Games bad.

• 
  Liquid Mendo (@Mendo) reported 47 minutes ago

  @witmer Yeah same worries blizzard had, and so far it seems like ranked has only gotten worse ever since the first time a third party matchmaking service was attempted in overwatch I just want real competitive games, both as solo queue and 5 stack

  @SooshiYEP I've replaced two mice now because they had a stupid grip on the side that was just glued on, so I finally bought one that didn't have the option to slide off and I 100% blame overwatch for my mouse grip problems

  WHY TF IS THERE NO MUTE ALL CHAT BUTTON IN #Overwatch ?!?!?!?!?! THIS WOULD LITERALLY SOLVE SO MANY ISSUES!!!!!!

  @CrashBandicoot only reason i wouldve bought this version is if you gave Junkrat the trademark crash dance in overwatch. Even when a crash game is arriving on the blizzard platform you still do NOTHING with this (this and hogger's kit wouldve been perfect for crash in hots) :(

  @StandardBool @Slasher Well your friend has to either get better... or just play with him in quickplay. There is a deeper rooted issue with smurfs in Overwatch. Literally ruins chances for people naturally climbing to have a chance.
