    @cr0bar I was hoping to join a friend on stream for some Overwatch, but I guess I'll edit video for now while Discord sorts its issue out

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN @BlizzardCSEU_EN Hi there, I cannot connect to overwatch but my friend and flatmate can. All on PC. I get Unexpected Server Error but they do not.

  • ConnorT84422965 BluR 💙🖤 (@ConnorT84422965) reported

    @PlayOverwatch The issues being the lawsuit, but at the same time, they're trying to do (Overwatch ofc) their best to make what's best for us all, sometimes you just have to appreciate what they make and provide us with, or think.. if they didn't exist where would I be..

  • BlackIceSheep ❄️Jack The King Ophe (J.K.O.)🇲🇽 (@BlackIceSheep) reported

    @chrisllmao @vigilante109 @_Tom_Henderson_ - Iron Sight - TF2 - Counter-Strike - Overwatch 2 (Retains all items from first game) - Diablo 3 - PUBG and it's many spin offs - DOTA - Combat Arms - Crossfire Each had sequels, service changes or engine upgrades. I could go on, there's plenty more.

    It's very easy to detect when an application is being imaged, at least on Windows. Overwatch detects this and issues a "screen-lock". Which just returns a black screen whenever any non-whitelisted application tries to image the client. Valorant detects this too.

  • Solidusstu Stuart Tannock (@Solidusstu) reported

    @CX316 @SkillUpYT @ConfusedRealm Its the same problem as the Ship of Theseus. Its Blizzard only in name. The people who made those games are gone. Recent Blizzard is Warcraft Reforged, Shadowlands and Overwatch lootboxes.

  • AlexTPet Alex Petropoulos (@AlexTPet) reported

    @Dom_Sacco @MonteCristo I feel like another issue is people not reporting in game - I know this is something that the Overwatch team have talked about before - they NEED you to report bad actors to actually get them... AND reporting works!! I've received over 100 confirmations on action taken from mine

  • zer0saber 10sts0u1 (@zer0saber) reported

    @WeetabixA @BenjiSales Im broken up about it when I think of all the amazing games blizzard brung to console last gen like overwatch which I thought was annoying, a million cod games which was all just reskinned dlc, Diablo boring and oh wait I don’t care their games most suck *** on console

  • MitchieTV MitchieTV (@MitchieTV) reported

    It looks like #Overwatch is making an influencer push to get people to play the game again, but stale and broken mechanics need to be fixed first… also the community is beyond toxic 🤢

  • Ole_Official_ Bad_Jungler They/Them (@Ole_Official_) reported

    @ReviceRex @ZenofyMedia @PlayOverwatch Also to add that cosmetics have been the only consistent game updates we’ve had over the past two years, and now we’re not even getting that, overwatch is truely a dead game. Can’t wait for Microsoft to fix blizzards ****

  • fry4me1254 Fallen 1987 (@fry4me1254) reported

    @XboxP3 Please put some kinda of system in place after you become CEO of acti blizz to fight the massive problem of alt accounts of higher rank players abusing the MMR in Overwatch, has been going on for years and continues to get worse and the OW team or Bobby refuse to fix it.

  • Poifix Pierre Abcelli (@Poifix) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Probably should do another one. Can't connect to Overwatch anymore. Unexpected Server Error.

  • PinguBlaster Strawberrynator | Kristin (@PinguBlaster) reported

    @Angiedimal @Blizzard_Ent Long overdue like Overwatch 2. I want to add that the leaders should focus on the people and improve the working conditions and fix their law suits once and for all.

  • PatBateman1987 Patrick Bateman (@PatBateman1987) reported

    @ursaltysupport @PlayOverwatch Yeah that’s the thing, Overwatch kinda had its time back in 2016 to let’s say 2018? That was the golden age of Overwatch, no problems and it was just at the top of being a really good FPS game. But I just hoping for 2023 to be better for the game.

  • TemplarHunter03 TemplarHunter033 (@TemplarHunter03) reported

    A little context. I'm playing role que and everything's going fine. Next thing I know, I'm lagging hard and I get disconnected. I finally get back into the game, and I get disconnected from the server AGAIN with a 20 minute ban from role queuing competitive. Wtf overwatch?

  • Noetic_NRG Noetic NRG (@Noetic_NRG) reported

    @Sash0524 @RoelYento @TheMaverickWS I bet you more people played Overwatch than Halo Infinite. Their IP is worth a fortune, they just haven't been innovating enough and have horribly mismanaged their titles. Microsoft can fix both of those problems.

  • FudgieFreeze I AM ESPORTS 🏳️‍⚧️⌨️ (@FudgieFreeze) reported

    discord broken guess i gotta reinstall overwatch to talk to my wife

  • ConnorT84422965 BluR 💙🖤 (@ConnorT84422965) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Even if some of y play overwatch, maybe y'all should stop being so spoilt or ungrateful, and yes the pandemic is only 15% of reason, as not many give a **** about it now, or won't do, but they're in all these issues, as blizzard (ik OW team was furthest from it) >

  • crangejo Perclórico (@crangejo) reported

    @gredinx @Nurbzwax Overwatch sucks lol Like, at this point just admit that there is a personal reason why you see adding basic muscles to women as an issue

  • KryssArondight SomeKindaHero117 | PNGTuber | Pre-Debut ENVtuber (@KryssArondight) reported

    @jigs_vt Typically, most Overwatch players just have issues with positioning. If this is not your case, and your heals are constantly going off, then it's not your fault. So flame your team for roasting you (If you have the confidence or even care enough to reply to them)

  • Gardy_OW Nolan 🍊🇨🇦 (@Gardy_OW) reported

    @Qwik @AbsolutMoose @Blizzard_Ent Overwatch hasn't gotten a new hero in two years, and hasn't gotten a new map in three years, not to mention the countless balancing issues and game breaking bugs.

  • mordredexe electro priestess (@mordredexe) reported

    i'm sorry guys i got my anger issues from overwatch pls scroll through that

  • TRW2002 Tom 🦖 (@TRW2002) reported

    No Clue what’s going on with my wifi at the moment - seems to be working normally (50mbs download), but whenever it go into a multiplayer game like overwatch or DBD, nothing seems to work (200 ping) @bt_uk only came out last week to fix an issue, so i don’t know what’s going on…

  • Choco_Jello Chocolate Jello (top .01% of jellos) (@Choco_Jello) reported

    @impmoe But knowing blizzard and overwatch id be surprised if the devs even play the game anymore let alone respond to known issues.

  • MiKAuditore Mikael Auditore (@MiKAuditore) reported

    @MrSamir786 @jasonschreier Until next year... Wile Crash, spyro, overwatch, diablo etc etc of IPs are now going to be only for Xbox

  • KJBEccentricArt Kim Jannice Brewer (Mental Health Advocate/Artist) (@KJBEccentricArt) reported

    Only in #Overwatch do nerds unite.... However broken... Or maybe overly horny people still #GLHD BAHAHA 🖖

  • RedLant12166889 Red Lantern (@RedLant12166889) reported

    @SocialJusticeGM @D13Fresh @Sn4kee Bethesda games aren't after these last 2 which Sony had a deal for. Sony will not see hellblade, a new crash, Diablo, overwatch etc.

  • woahman420 Woah.Man (@woahman420) reported

    My favorite overwatch thing is when people call me a bad healer, because they're almost always the problem
