What I would do: 1. Fix internal problems at Blizzard. We can't get to a common solution if we can't work together. 2. Gain the playerbases trust back, give us a timeline on what the stage we're currently at with "OW2". 3. Bring back Overwatch cinematics. We all loved these...

@annoyingaria I had this problem with competitive Overwatch and it got so much worse when I got all pissed off about matchmaking and started collecting data on my win-rates and MMR.

@AdamJamesRoper It wouldn’t be too much of a problem if challengers actually received backing. It’s always been chalked. One of the few things I think Overwatch still has over COD which from my first hand experience, which is criminal with how much support we’ve lost for that game

@CriticalBard Overwatch was great. It had the potential a massive multimedia franchise. People who didnt play the game still wanted to interact with the characters/world.Blizzard eroded so much good will so fast. The greatest series of unforced errors I've ever seen.

I think the Infiltration Cinematic might be the most polarizing issue in Overwatch.

Even though I only play Overwatch because I have friends that still enjoy it, it sucks that there's still no permanent fix for throwers, smurfs, etc. #Overwatch #Ps4 #Sony

@SFShock The entire game needs a rework and the only reason it’s dying and overwatch 2 might die is because the pve has been more fun then the pvp due to broken Characters from 1 shooting then doing 2000 damage in 3 seconds. And characters that if you play them, someone can switch to end

I found Muck through Steam and not even Dani (I knew about him tho). I swear with as broken as the game felt at first, once you learn it, it's really fun and definitely more balanced than Overwatch. Achievements are hard but the game's math calcs must have taken a lot of time

I must say, as many issues as Overwatch may have, at least you get all the characters right from the start. I am considering playing Valorant and it is annoying to have only 5 characters

@Niann_03 @totallynotbekah @Phyerx What you say about him being totally immobile after the ult is true. That's the easiest moment to put him to sleep. The problem is that every time they use Meteor Strike they go after me!!!!! T_T. And yes, 90% of my time in Overwatch is just casual playing.

Hmm. Just checking out some twitch streams and I don't see the fishbowl effect as much on theirs, even though they are widescreen. Read that FOV is 103, which fits the problem I see. Need to work on this more as I really want to give this game a shot after writing off Overwatch.

I love that Overwatch still has issues where the game bugs out and prevents you from moving/playing the game but have the nerve to penalize you for it? When is this gonna be fixed?

@nerdSlayerG I think your postmortem of OW was spot on. Upon seeing beta gameplay, I immediately warned people it was going to have problems: They went for half casual, half competitive gameplay elements, which would ultimately cause frustration for both sides. (1/2) #overwatch

@1cePrime The only confidence that kind of attitude inspires is one of being passive in the face of abuse. We saw this same **** with Overwatch. They didn't make a sizeable attempt at banning toxicity for almost two years. By the time it mattered, they had a myriad of other problems.

@DpsDeku I would like to say i still play Overwatch but i cannot bring myself to accept the ActiBlizz issues. I have to the game Paladins by Hi-Rez studios that for me specifically it scratches that itch.

I don't know why but for some reason, Overwatch always has these persistent audio issues that crop up. The voice chat can just stop working for no reason, where the only fix is to restart the game. It's almost like Blizzard simply don't care about it any more.

@Sanic_Tem The problem w/ Overwatch is that the dev team sucks at balancing. Also the issue with team games is that while you have psychological assurance that it’s not your fault, you have to trust other people.
