I’ll play Apex Comp for hours. I’ll play OW Arcade and QP for HOURS. But once I get on OW Comp? disconnect/can’t connect to server/ban/8 hour ban. How in thee **** is it always when I want to play OW comp? ONLY ON OVERWATCH COMPETITIVE DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME. 🤌🏽😭🤌🏽

Man you know how Overwatch has a problem of no one wants to play healer? Well Paladins apparently has a problem of no one wants to play Frontline (Tank). I got into a match where I wanted to try out a healer and two other people chose healer after me! 3 Healers!!!

I really wish there was a good performing shooter on the switch. Overwatch and Apex both have tons of native input lag and it makes them annoying to play 😞

@madruski @Yassuo Hey at least it isn't Overwatch, where they took a completely fun game at launch, and butchered the **** out of it since. League in sub diamond 1 is almost all skill based matchups, nobody is good enough to abuse broken champs. ADC is a rough role for sure, just find a good supp

@DallasFuel @Favor Admittedly it was because I knew who seagull was! I didn't recognise any other names as I wasn't big into competitive overwatch and so made my allegiance there and then, never to be broken!

@Nerfnow There's multiple issues with Overwatch's role queue, but the main one is that a majority of characters in the game fall under it. Reaper, Widowmaker, and Torbijorn are all under the same moniker of "dps".

@jeffgerstmann Had the same issue with Overwatch not launching for a week. Turns out it was Razer Synapse as well.

My main problem with overwatch is that there’s hot people I think every team shooter should follow the tf2 model where it’s just a bunch of ugly middle aged men killing each other over gravel

@Brig_Lewdholm //I feel like it does have it's place in Overwatch, but the issue is not being able to do literally anything about it. It'll make it so it's harder to stagger someone, and not the easiest thing in the world, y'know?

@READYBRETT @Tak225Th problem I have with outriders is, I follow the marker on the map and it leads me to a dead end. So frustrating. Umm probbs some MP games, gears 5, Overwatch and check out the new Halo update. Don’t want to jump in any SP as Nier is out next week

OWL has completely ruined Overwatch for the average player. Some characters are completely useless on ladder; some characters are completely broken on ladder. And some are just completely ignored entirely (poor Bastion). Overwatch needs to think about the playerbase, not the pros

@RedManedLynx @SekoPanda lots of interesting plot hooks and no development on them because it would risk touching on literally any real world issues and as such alienating possible userbase overwatch's development and its shortcomings scream of skilled staff and **** superiors

The problem with allowing players to give other players a rating is this: They will always give you a low rating even if you did well or aren't a healer #overwatch

First night on the grind and my Overwatch has begun to lag. The bad timing is omega. I'll get it fixed for tomorrow's hopefully.

@ItzUnionJack Love these concepts the only problem is with queue times. For example they split the roles in overwatch so you have to queue a certain role and it killed queue times and it takes forever to find matches even at low ranks.

@DF_Taimou Only had this problem when I played on borderless windowed instead of full screen, works for overwatch, idk if it'd work for valorant

literally the only way to redeem overwatch at this point is to ban 2cp entirely and fix the mmr somehow i would also ban hog and bastion and orisa and doomfist and mei and hanzo and ana and brig AND KINGS ROW but nobody would agree so

@BlizzardCS Are Overwatch servers having problems right now? There's a huge spike in ping and I just had a whole Competitive match cancelled because of it disconnecting everyone.

@reapzlbbh Gameplay wise no. Overwatch clearly has a working formula and more content and new ways to play it the better. Unless it's broken as ****. But I feel overwatch 2 story is gonna disappoint a lot of people because how all over the place people expectations are. I hope I'm wrong

@CSGO Not to mention about broken OVERWATCH system, which don't work at all, thats why after playing over 2k hours i stopped playing at all. This company is a joke.

I had to uninstall the software for my razer deathadder chroma because it would not let Overwatch start up. It's an older mouse that uses razer synapse 2 and not 3. Apparently the newer ones don't have this problem. Now I'm using a zowie ec1 evo. Avoid razr mice.
