  • TrRosieBitch TrRosie (@TrRosieBitch) reported

    I'm unable to get into games and tried every little tactic to try and fix my game, wanted to stream a little more Apex (then Overwatch), and cannot get into a single game. The longer I queue the more I feel my game is about to dc lol. Help @Respawn

  • willwarr_ 🌻Will🌻 (@willwarr_) reported

    overwatch was better when quickplay classic was the main game mode. limiting swap options may have prevented some players from ignoring their team but in fixing one problem the game had they put an end to so many possibilities that made the game amazing

  • TheChaoticBlade Kiri (@TheChaoticBlade) reported

    Might change my stream schedule a lil, Tuesdays was Online Fun but Apex had problems, Got bored of Super Animal Royale after an hour and dont want every week to be Overwatch lol so probably change it to a "whatever I feel like playing" day

  • eliasinatra Elias ✞ (@eliasinatra) reported

    overwatch is broken

  • ItzMysfyt Mysfyt (@ItzMysfyt) reported

    Aight **** it I need to start casting Valorant. Problem is I don’t know the game nearly as well as I know Overwatch. Valorant casters or players, what should I look at when breaking down a round? Economy and composition of course, but what should I learn so I can cast Val?

  • hal_v69 hal (@hal_v69) reported

    hello smart people what is the average input lag / sim number in overwatch in games. because it feels like my game is mad sluggish. i get like 7 in fights in normal games and i get like 4 in deathmatch in queues and it feels 10x better

  • camaropharaoh E-Solo (@camaropharaoh) reported

    @gehitmusiken I feel this... It’s one of the things I enjoy about the Switch. When I was playing Zelda, I never saw the title screen. Quick Resume ALWAYS works w/Overwatch but I have to sign in again so it’s pointless... Oh well.

  • KazeTalks Kaze (@KazeTalks) reported

    @liem_ross Overwatch is a game that needs to be played with a team that you know and trust. Only then will games be competitive and fun, regardless if you win or lose. Because if not, you either steamroll or get steamrolled. I genuinely think the matchmaking in OW is super broken.

  • MercyGamer6 MoodySupportMain (@MercyGamer6) reported

    @The_Hunted_FoXx If you mean in overwatch i think its the servers, weird lag spikes i thought it was my internet but every other game is fine

  • NickdeBruyne Nick de Bruyne (@NickdeBruyne) reported

    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?

  • sorrowfulwrites L. (@sorrowfulwrites) reported

    my controversial games opinions. DnD 4E was better than both 3.5E and 5E. the best block in MtG history was Scars of Mirrodin. overwatch is fine actually, people just hate on it because it wasn't the game they wanted it to be and overwatch 2 won't fix that.

  • Red_Panda_pants Pandapeeps💜♠ (@Red_Panda_pants) reported

    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.

  • wifipwd North Wifi (@wifipwd) reported

    @ElrondDZN Overwatch or Crash

  • obunnga obunga (@obunnga) reported

    please fix the apex servers i dont want to solo q on overwatch

  • mushroom_group The Mushroom Group (@mushroom_group) reported

    Blizzard $ATVI will rip... patience. Overwatch 2 (HUGE game) , Crash Bandicoot mobile. Overwatch mobile. Holy fukkkk I don’t know video games but got damnnn

  • Mendo Liquid Mendo (@Mendo) reported

    @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

  • theologicaI theo⁷ (@theologicaI) reported

    all these minecrafters and not one of them can help me fix minecraft 😭 ig i gotta play overwatch now

  • PippinPoubelle Pippin 🗑💜 (@PippinPoubelle) reported

    I wanna try to up the quality on my stream i might try to test out bitrate stuff using overwatch. I need to find the sweet spot so i dont lag but also so i can make the stream look a lil nicer. I am an absolute novice at this kinda thing lol

  • Formenis Yann / Form (@Formenis) reported

    I gave another chance to @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch , but when the Q time is longer than the actual game you know that there is a problem that Overwatch 2 won't fix.

  • Justinh00925559 _hi _ (@Justinh00925559) reported

    @PaladinsGame Bro I’m serious fix your ******* game I keep crashing and freezing it’s getting annoying I’m about to put in a report and tell everyone to go to Overwatch YALL are down bad rn

  • Behaxeltzi Behax 🔞🌟Commissions closed🌟 (@Behaxeltzi) reported

    @DarkMoonlore Part of the issue isn't even denouncing those things, its that the meanings have been stretched so thin they might as well not even mean anything any more. (I remember when people were trying to call an Overwatch ship between 2 ADULTS **** because of an age gap : | )

  • LilithEris ⎛⎝ Lilith Eris ⎠⎞ (@LilithEris) reported

    @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

  • CalebGamerOW Proto VI (@CalebGamerOW) reported

    @Dixid_01 No, they always do this every year it's just saying that if you don't to login to Overwatch before 12/31/2021 then you won't receive your tokens so this shouldn't really be anything to worry about unless you don't play Overwatch anymore then yeah I can see it be a problem.

  • ChrisFizzywig Chris (@ChrisFizzywig) reported

    @XboxSupport I have the xbox series x and lately when in the middle of a game overwatch being one of them, the xbox kicks me back to dashboard and says reconnect controller. I can’t find a fix anywhere. Please help.

  • DEMlLlCIOUS norma california. 🥯☕️ tobi enthusiast 💕 (@DEMlLlCIOUS) reported

    @pepperonijuice HEMDEJS... my old laptop was like weird it could handle games like overwatch but at 10 FPS but a pixel game like stardew?? glitch glitch glitch

  • CalebGamerOW Proto VI (@CalebGamerOW) reported

    @Ruby_Qrow @overwatchleague @TMobile They only expire if you don't login to Overwatch to claim them after watching the OWL matches.

  • RobbieisBatman1 Silver Is Hard (@RobbieisBatman1) reported

    so... looking at a match replay... and I have a situation where I look sus af... like it looks like I'm walling, but in reality i'm just looking for a vault prompt... could this be an issue going forward? should there be something like csgo has overwatch?

  • killingedges moira o'deorain lovemail (@killingedges) reported

    @Juppyteer a few months ago i was playing overwatch and i had an open bottle of snapple that i forgot to close and when i switched my hand to my controller to ult (i use mouse and controller at the same time it helps wdexterity issues) it spilled right over my desk lap and controller

  • RealMattPL ᴍᴀᴛᴛ 🇵🇱 (@RealMattPL) reported

    @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.
