    okay so when are they gonna fix overwatch voice chat? everyone is peaking and it sounds like absolute dog ****

  • _Johnlol John (@_Johnlol) reported

    @RedshellOW @gello_x Truth be told whatever it is you guys are hyped about won’t change anything at the core of Overwatch, which is the problem.

  • XTowerofHeavenX Emily 🍄 (@XTowerofHeavenX) reported

    Anyone that still plays #Overwatch is your game broken? My brother and I try to queue and never get into a game. We’ve been in 3 different 40 minute queues before we gave up. We’ve both gotten into a game when not grouped up @PlayOverwatch

  • krimsonkappz Kappz (@krimsonkappz) reported

    Overwatch copium/hopium is reaching critical mass. Im so cynical that i dont think they will know how to fix any of the problems currently w ladder or the game in general so looking at all the “the wait will be worth it i swear!¡” its just so stupid to me i dont know why

  • samwell_richard Richard Samwell (@samwell_richard) reported

    @BlizzardCS Any news on an ETA for that fix for Overwatch crashing on console? I haven’t been able to play for the past three days and it’s been bumming me out.

  • DadyMemeMachine pooby bubb fard (@DadyMemeMachine) reported

    Lowkey so sad I can't play the new #Overwatch #WinterWonderland update on my birthday :( I was looking forward to this for so long man this kind of sucks :/ hope they fix the Xbox bug soon ughhhh

  • spaceedonut birthday brii 💫 (@spaceedonut) reported

    “Live service we are paying for.” Overwatch is literally a one-time fee to play the game. You aren’t paying a subscription you dont have to buy loot boxes. You dont have to buy skins or a battle pass. The game goes on sale every year if u wanna buy a new account. Stop whining.

  • mah_cody Arlo & Benson (@mah_cody) reported

    @SombrHack @rleiper84 @EeveeA_ And diablo 4 and overwatch were announced how many years ago? And apart from the development and release dates and short gameplay footage and teaser trailers, we haven't seen anything. We don't want a broken release game like cyberpunk, so if it takes longer to develop properly

  • DaymnItsTommy Tommy Longoria (@DaymnItsTommy) reported

    It hasn’t been mayhem on arcade for a few days now @Blizzard_Ent on @PlayOverwatch. What’s the issue?!#overwatch #gaming

  • Brightside_FPS Festiveside🎄🎁 (@Brightside_FPS) reported

    @HiJirachi My biggest problem is that the information might be crucial for the future of Overwatch Pro play. We can wait but it might depend on their future for the game

  • ArcadiumOW Arcadium_OW (@ArcadiumOW) reported

    @WarnTV @pampurins There is a strange and almost arrogant tone to this comment. No, we should not be "grateful" for being told effectively nothing. Overwatch is not a favour, it's a live-service game we pay for.

  • RoliePolieOli11 RoliePolieOlie (@RoliePolieOli11) reported

    @verysmartz @etc_aether Not a problem in the games back then, why be a problem now? I don't mind a diversity, basara, dynasty warior, apex, overwatch?

  • Im_Cuber Cuber (@Im_Cuber) reported

    Wait hold on I have my monthly login on twittle dot com and all I see is positivity, hope and enthusiasm for Overwatch????? What the hell kind of warped alternate timeline have I stepped into???

  • alex_ohlson_ jingle bubs (@alex_ohlson_) reported

    @Halo hi I’m sick of overwatch but whenever I try to play Infinite, my game crashes? I load into the match, and then when I’m supposed to respawn, my client closes. not a driver issue, not a computer issue. why? I just want to have fun

  • stryftek stryftek (@stryftek) reported

    @StephenSeanFord I don't get the lootbox issue, especially how Overwatch and Apex implemented it. Purely cosmetic rewards. I do see how other games that have put gameplay rewards or even characters in them are an issue.

  • KaFeOW 𝓚𝓕☃️ (@KaFeOW) reported

    @Tracing_Fps I think is overwatch the problem

  • WildBoyFriend Best Boyfriend (@WildBoyFriend) reported

    The problem with overwatch is the men have such low standards and are so desperate every single girl thinks she's Beyoncé.

  • asdfsloth pls release overwatch 2 (@asdfsloth) reported

    @h0lden_ow @CujoA @mL7support Idc about that im just saying we get promised these things but they never deliver so thats why we all have trust issues when it comes to overwatch lol

  • dz_Sapphire 💚Celestial Catgirl Sapphire❤️ (@dz_Sapphire) reported

    alright, complaining about security breach again. you know what runs better than this game? fortnite on switch. smash ultimate online. mario maker online. ******* smash BRAWL online. i would seriously rather play competitive overwatch than deal with how unpolished and broken-

  • NarwhalTiger 『TrashRatKinz』 (@NarwhalTiger) reported

    @BlizzardCS I can’t load into Overwatch after the winter update and I’m on xbox smh I already hard restarted my xbox and uninstalled and reinstalled it too still not working

  • ItsCoZ_ ItsCoZ (@ItsCoZ_) reported

    @DrKelleh That’s a graphics problem, not a overwatch problem. Try your graphic drivers first and see if that fixes it. If not… your card might be going bad.

  • RoliePolieOli11 RoliePolieOlie (@RoliePolieOli11) reported

    @JJono_ @etc_aether @GenshinImpact Not a problem in the games back then, why be a problem now? I don't mind a diversity, basara, dynasty warior, apex, overwatch?

  • InvictusFrags Invictus (@InvictusFrags) reported

    @CassandraCota @Gilbot9000 Overwatch has consistently gotten worse since beta. They’ve failed at every turn to take and listen to feedback. They were literally warned about game breaking changes told players they didn’t know how to play then had to fix the changes a week later.

  • Scary_Dragons Scary Dragons (@Scary_Dragons) reported

    I could keep going but I'm done spamming. This is still a mere fraction of what's wrong with Overwatch. To see this game to having one of the most legendary game launches of all time to it's current state is just sad. Fix your ****, Blizzard.

  • V0NVIC Vaguely Human (@V0NVIC) reported

    The Latency and Lag is so bad in overwatch right now. Tried to sleep a bastion on Lijiang, stuttered across the map for 5 seconds before shooting into a wall.

  • geckiga Geck 🛸 (@geckiga) reported

    @PlayOverwatch you guys need to fix your game. The amount of console players using a mouse and keyboard is crazy and it’s ruining it for everyone ever since the cross platform happened! #Overwatch Also nothing ever happens with the reports which is very upsetting

  • CrowdDemon Cr✪wd Sci The Guyance Nye (@CrowdDemon) reported

    It lasted just 3 years... It would crash playing Overwatch and Left 4Dead at high settings at 1080p when it was marketed as a 1440p card in 2018. And I've mostly been playing Team Fortress 2 and recently GTAV over those 3 years.

  • saoirseplays saoirse (@saoirseplays) reported

    the weird thing about this to me is I don't remember enabling it + this issue with overwatch and other games crashing my PC has been VERY recent (since the cassidy event in nov)

  • CAPTSPCEBOY mini gf (@CAPTSPCEBOY) reported

    there are no "toxic" games, you people are the problem. Except overwatch, that game is inherently toxic.

  • Will_Roll_Tide Will (@Will_Roll_Tide) reported

    Serving should not make a member wealthy. The framers intended service to be a sacrifice. Any member not supportive of an overwatch of members' investments, including crypto, should not hold office. This effort should be bipartisan with 100% support by all members.
