@BlizzardCS Are you EVER going to fix voice chat on the Xbox in Overwatch? It was broken on the One and still broken on the Series X?

OW community: Fix your **** game. It's been unplayable for the past 2 years now. OW devs: It's still unplayable. BUT. Here's a map for the gamemmode no one plays. And Hanzo wearing some sweet shades. Also no updates on Overwatch 2. You're welcome. Smile.

overwatch's biggest issue is a lack of heroes with so little supports and tanks in the game, only so many DPS will be able to fit into the mold of whatever meta is prevalent at any given time. this is also why metas stagnate in OW so long, because there's not enough options.

@merryh The monitor looks much wider in your photo! I actually started getting the "Render device lost" issue in Overwatch AFTER I upgraded, the fix was pretty odd. It's the worst game to get crashes on since you get penalized (and the team pays for it).

Look... I hate it to the core, but this server issue for Overwatch is seriously upsetting me that I can't log in and play and hate it. This is literally the only game I have this sort of relationship with, and I am very glad for it.

@Myrnisth3word In my knowledge of other games with “game breaking” bugs. You would see a patch or a hot fix and then never see it again. Overwatch for example. I don’t understand how it can be “fixed” which I would assume means changing code. How the hell does it revert back... how.

@merryh If it is the "Render device lost" issue, make a copy of your overwatch.exe file and rename it to something else (like ow.exe) and run the game from that instead of the Blizzard launcher. It worked for me, something to do with nvidia profiles associated with the filename.

@NnamzYT @RealThunder402 @ATVIAssist Nothing is wrong with sbmm in casual playlist. Games like overwatch and rocket league have it. The problem is that this game is doesn't do it right and its not fun to play. You notice how MW and Warzone have sbmm and nobody complained nearly as much. It needa to be tuned

@The_Hive_311 overwatch just isn’t enjoyable anymore. it’s nothing but broken heroes and bad teammates. apex can be the same way, but i can tolerate it a lot more and i’m a lot better at it than i am at overwatch

@AbdullahIbnal @Smithy_Smithy @ComicBook I can't think of a single issue Lawbreakers had, if it just wasn't woke it sure would have surpassed Overwatch at its peak despite the oversaturation of hero-shooters and Cliffy B's general unlikeability and betrayal to his fanbase.
