  • TurlinNole Turlin Nole (@TurlinNole) reported

    @PlayVALORANT I know you are working on fixing cheaters and balacing mm games, but its not working. Why are u only relying on your Anticheat? The community wants to help. Make some kind of overwatch where we can punish cheaters. The mm experience its simply not enjoyable

  • TechnoPupper 𝕋𝕖𝕔𝕙𝕟𝕠 #BLM (@TechnoPupper) reported

    i can't login to overwatch am i suspended 😗

  • MahouMel Mel (@MahouMel) reported

    i think the last time i had a problem was when overwatch had come out, god knows how much i spent every event league we wont talk about lmao

  • MISTER__PURPLE Austin (@MISTER__PURPLE) reported

    @BlizzardCS what is the fix for error bc152 overwatch running on Xbox one

  • EvilToaster EvilToaster (@EvilToaster) reported

    @astrostasis I think that part is just a scale problem. In smaller game communities I've been in, it was very easy for devs to sift through reports and see who was being a problem. A game as big as Overwatch needs an automated punishment system, and everyone knows their way around it now.

  • LiIoHime ˗ˏˋ 🌸 ᴛɪɴʏ ᴍᴏᴏ 🌸 ˎˊ˗ (@LiIoHime) reported

    @TypicalSketch @MercyOfOW This means that you've got disconnected, either the servers of Overwatch or your network have issues. I get that a lot and I usually end up getting kicked out of the game.

  • gooeybea official girl bea (@gooeybea) reported

    @Jo_Jo_Bae @turntechCatfish yeahhh i honestly didnt like overwatch 1 at all, but overwatch 2 seems like something ill really be able to enjoy. the issues i had with the first one literally cant exist in a single player setting so im thinking ill have a lot of fun with the new format...... fingers crossed...

  • DausenMoore Dausen Moore (@DausenMoore) reported

    @esportsawards @Rainbow6Game Siege is easily the best game here. Overwatch was really fun at first but simply doesn't have the replay value and should have gotten a more complex sequel. I think the main problem is their linear on-rails maps/objectives. There no variety in how you play.

  • Lutuleilei Lutu (@Lutuleilei) reported

    Overwatch would easily survive till OW2 if they would just try to fix ranked

  • 29sswada ً (@29sswada) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ i find it crazy how these are professionals and cant fix their own ******* game. overwatch could've honestly been one of the best games but was killed so quickly and its so sad

  • ten777_ Markaizoku (@ten777_) reported

    @OverwatchNaeri @geoffkeighley I hate that I keep seeing people say "idk about you, but I'd hate to see another CyberPunk situation!!" Yeah, no duh. Everyone wants a finished product. The problem is that Overwatch has been getting minimal content for YEARS, and blizzard's handling of things SUCKS.

  • edeniaspride eden | jade main uprising✨ (@edeniaspride) reported

    overwatch really needs to fix their play of the game system. i played mercy and revived someone then killed three other ppl alone, but this mccree got it but only killing one person. like how did i not get it??? it’s so unfair u can’t get **** playing support

  • cherrybunsama *watches anime for clout* (@cherrybunsama) reported

    getting a crash course reminder on why i don't solo q overwatch anymore :/

  • TrueAmdor Amdor (@TrueAmdor) reported

    I heard that @Blizzard_Ent postponed Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 to make sure they fix #WarcraftReforged - good they didn't forget about all the promises and are willing to put time and money fixing it. #sarcasm

  • gooeybea official girl bea (@gooeybea) reported

    @Jo_Jo_Bae @turntechCatfish idk, from what they described it has a lot more content than OW1 has in it even without mentioning that it has the multiplayer in it as well. i think the real issue here is that overwatch 1 was severely lacking in content and should have had a lot more

  • BearTrappy1 Trappy {AGM} (@BearTrappy1) reported

    @BitchAssBowie Yeah lmao, it was back when i actually played overwatch, it all ended with echo, who was so fundementally broken that i just quit the game

  • elementrus Subjectivism (@elementrus) reported

    @FrenchIsRandom @AlsoCyber @geoffkeighley But the original OW was never 60$. They might sell the full bundle at that cost; but for those who own the original Overwatch will probably have to pay 40$ like the initial asking price. I see no issue with the launch of this.

  • Tacticolty 🌈 Colty8 (Commissions open)🌈 (@Tacticolty) reported

    @Jarek_Dragon Valorant Is a game with no soul. Overwatch Is a great game with a bad developer team who doesnt care to Fix the issues, Apex legends Is an amazing game tbh and fortnite is good but im not into it

  • sftysleepy 𝚔𝚊𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚢𝚘☾ (@sftysleepy) reported

    Overwatch’s loot box system is ******* ****, fix your game. @PlayOverwatch

  • iiRava iiRava (@iiRava) reported

    @BlizzardCS when are you guys going to fix the game chat for overwatch? big issue for console players but i yet to see any acknowledgement from you guys. can’t hear or talk to anyone and it’s making me not even wanting to play anymore. isn’t this a team-based game?!?!?

  • performages emet-selch gap moe (@performages) reported

    @gishinankii i think its because its an open world anime rpg on the surface so it attracts a Lot of people who dont usually or never play gacha games? this was an issue a few years back w western games w lootbox systems like overwatch, every couple of days u get someone writing a twitter

  • dibsonthisname aze/josten (@dibsonthisname) reported

    i wanna play overwatch but its ******* impossible on switch and my computer is broken

  • NomRandom Nomporu (@NomRandom) reported

    @Stylosa hard disagree, overwatch is still an unbalanced mess, and they’re ignoring the heroes that are the main issues. Adding more heroes would only slow down fixing the current state of the game.

  • DeadlockJilly Life's a Rodeo -Ashe (Jilly)💜💛🖤 (@DeadlockJilly) reported

    Thats so screwed up when someone leaves before the point is captured that the match ends,Overwatch fix your comp,I had a good team who was super sweet!

  • dejurara Reddy (@dejurara) reported

    me: okay excited to login to ffxiv. also me: *opens overwatch instead*

  • CallMeRRin RRin (@CallMeRRin) reported

    I can't enjoy @overwatchleague after what the @LAValiant did. It just sucks because of "visa issues" 😤 So many players with literally no opportunity to compete in 2021 now. I really hope teams gather these players now because this is bullshit. #Overwatch

  • mercenaryneon YT_MercenaryNeon💜⛩ (@mercenaryneon) reported

    I’ve been waiting a while for Overwatch 2 but guess I might have to wait until 2022, but the longer they take the better since if there’s any bugs or isssues before release they can fix it

  • ThePhantomPlaya 𝕁𝕒𝕔𝕜 𝕄𝕖𝕣𝕔𝕖𝕣 (@ThePhantomPlaya) reported

    @BEST_DBD_PLAYER @DeadByBHVR And all I see is blind fanboyism, just because you don't see the problem doesn't mean it's not there. Game has worse economy than Overwatch & Fortnite put together.

  • FaronThe Faron The Werewolf (@FaronThe) reported

    @CaseyExplosion Thank you. It's nice to see there's more people who see this problem. My sister almost broke her account once because she was trying to get a skin on Overwatch. Ever since then I lost my taste for games like these, because they all have the exact same kind of system.

  • dummynotthicc tired (@dummynotthicc) reported

    is anyone else on overwatch pc having a glitch that makes them randomly move backwards and teleport to a position they were at seconds ago? ever since the newest update it’s been getting worse for me.
