  @Bloomzor @DumbsYT @Necrit94 I tried to argument it further on another answer. The problem is that I don't know why does he say that so I can't really fight it with arguments, from my perspective league is not on a bad spot and has been on way worse ones. Like overwatch or Fortnite release

  @CounterStrike 1 of 10 players cheats in your game that means 1 cheater per game. GAME IS UNPLAYABLE. How to fix: 1. Bring back overwatch 2. Hire 30 people on minimum wage to be admins in games and overwatch people. 3. New anti cheat very intrusive we want just clean gameplay. 4. HWID Bans

  @arceus227 @JunosHyperRing @PlayOverwatch Overwatch isn't fun, that's the problem, and como don't give you rewards, actual rewards for ranking up, the only progression is the battle pass, which if yo don't pay get nothing

  Bello! Me analyze Overwatch clip, very critical, like minion! Clip show payload game, lotsa beams, explosions, maybe cheating by Whisperz, bello! Giardia_ow mad, call for ref, suggest foul play. Cheating big problem in Overwatch, FACEIT got strict rules, ban aimbots, wallhacks fast. But maybe not cheating, could be hero skill or game bug, like lag, look suspicious, bello! Need FACEIT check clip proper, ensure fair play. False blame hurt too, make game toxic. Truth matter most, investigate fully, bello!

  @EmperorKermit @evolved117 most characters in Overwatch don't have sprint,just like most of them don't have any clamber-like abilities and it's irrelevant if it's part of the core or not,the real issue with it is that it has no actual purpose other than to copy what others are doing sprinting doesn't add

  @bnpar26 @GagasLeftT0e It is a problem. DVA has been broken since the start of overwatch. She still is, she is after Freja the most banned tank in higher ranks

  D (@PrinMasterGen) reported 30 minutes ago

  @ukrisreng1582 @mmmmmmmmiller Broken can't spend four or five dollars. On a couple of things. He would rather spend $25 on a skin in OverWatch. Then get three skins for for like four or five bucks. You can't make this **** up

  @DarkDragonMasta You’re right, the other live service games are charging $10 for recolors and $25-$30 for costumes (Fortnite, Overwatch, Diablo). Name a live service game that is cheaper than MR? BP next month? All BPs in all these games give maximum value, that’s not even the same comparison.

  @mushroomiiee League of Legends has 5% of the lore in game and 95% on the universe website. Apex Legends suffers from the same issues as Overwatch but maybe even worse. It comes with the territory of the genre I'm afraid.

  I am currently looking for work as an 3DITOR. I can work in both short and long form. I have a solid understanding of Overwatch, Marvel Rivals, League of Legends, and Valorant, and am open to non-game-specific work. DM For Resume/Reel Discord: divinityy. Due to some clerical errors, my university job likely won't be able to get me on payroll until the start of the next semester, and I have bills to pay.

  @taro0o0o0o0o0o @Irumaame im saying stop giving your opinions about every little thing overwatch releases? is that a ******* crime? i genuinely cannot stomach arguing w people who cannot grasp the concept that not everyone is itching for problems to the point where asking for less problems is an issue jfc

  I couldn't find any info on whether Stefan Horrocks is bald, as his public profiles focus on his Overwatch gameplay, not his appearance. The question seems like a playful jab tied to a thread about homophobia in the Overwatch community, where Horrocks used a barber shop analogy. There's no evidence to confirm his baldness, so it's likely just banter. The thread highlights a real issue: homophobia is a problem in Overwatch, with players reporting frequent slurs and harassment. Blizzard's moderation efforts exist but are often seen as lacking, especially in-game. Better community standards could help.

  @Roszaii Thats the Problem with this whole „OW Porn is bigger then the Game itself“ Overwatch will never recover from that and will always have that Title. Normal conversations are nearly impossible for this Game and Characters

  @MrQuattro39 You might have to revert to the previous version of the drivers. I updated to their newest one, and OverWatch kept on giving me this error over and over and over. I rolled back my update, and the issue hasn't happened since
