@DankHazardous @MonstersMortals It’s okay to still love a game even if you hate the dev or company. People obviously still play overwatch or other stuff even after the whole issue with Activision.

.@BlizzardCS got back to me about my inability to connect to the Overwatch game server. Apparently, it's an issue currently with Wave Broadband users on the west coast of the US. They recommended using a VPN (it's not a solution, just a workaround) until it's fixed. #Overwatch

@Blizzard_Ent please fix overwatch, so that random disconnects before getting in to a game, don't cause ban and -50 sr. Even if there is a Rejoin game button (when never even being in a game) is nice, it would be nicer if it actually did something. thx for the bans and loss of sr

The difference between my old PC and my new one is ******* unbelievable! The old one would crash if it so much as *looked* at most of my games. And the ones it *could* run were at like 18 FPS. The new PC hasn’t so much as blinked at any game i’ve tried - Overwatch, Path of Exile,

@BlizzardCS hi, I am reaching out to you guys seeking help because I feel helpless at this point. every time I try to load up Overwatch, I get this error code: (Lost connection to game server LC-202). I have done many things to try and fix this issue but nothing I do helps.

This girl joined our overwatch group talking about “I don’t get why other women are hostile towards me in this game” and then said “I’m not like other girls I’m not just going to play dva and mercy” … 💀 yes I wonder why we would have a problem with you

@CSGO Do you actually improve overwatch, fix issues ? People tell me that there are hundreds of bots which block the overwatch bans. Do we get improved answer for overwatch custom description, signal bugs over overwatch not following suspect plays. +++ more tools we need.

@PaladinsGame I've had issues N the past with other games with the balancing damage movement speed an progression all being a lot less than it's supposed to me so as a new player I just was giving you a heads up thank you. OverWatch is extremely similar could be like a ripoff ofU

@__CS11 @PlayStation Eh, Overwatch was a live service and got out 3 per year (used to, at least), so long as other thing are added in between heroes, then it should be fine tbh.

@Fritz844 @FIGfluencer Yeah there is a network effect, but it can be broken quickly by releasing one bad title, or waiting to long to release a new one because of how competitive the industry is. See for example Overwatch.

the biggest problem with Overwatch is that you have very long Q times as a dps, but in the end most than half your games are rigged and bad quality. You wait a long time just for your game to not even be decent. Splitgate is much funnier lmao

@R1vendark @EricDJuly If you want a specific game, my vote would be Overwatch. That game had balance issues and people whining on Reddit caused so many meta changes based on Devs knee jerk reactions.

Does anyone have this glitch in #overwatch where you hear stuff on the left side of your headphones when in reality it happens on the right side and vise versa??

"Doomfist is broken" Ok so how come all these heroes HARD counter him? Echo, Mccree, pharah, sombra, torb, ana, brig, MCREE, & bap (tho lamp counters everything) He loses the 1v1 to Hanzo, widow, reaper, & zen discord is a death sentence. Sig & hog have CC too. #Overwatch

So yeah, took longer than I wanted but I managed to fix all the bugs in my twitch overlay to track overwatch results (I am not a front-end dev, but its good to learn new things!). Off to run my weekly 5k, then I'll be testing that out in a couple hours... fun!

@Blizzard_Ent is ******* ridiculous i have a issue with launching up overwatch were it goes to a black screen and the game closes i have done no joke 20 things to try to fix it and the only thing that fixed it was DELETING a really important file for other games to run-
