  @carechis @jamiefrankland4 @SFShock nope. i’m just linking a photo of one of the ow team people mentioning that overwatch specifically isn’t an issue. it’s blizzard and activision

  @WardoTWT It would have the same exact issues it has today Overwatch is literally the greatest FPS to exist the issue is it’s balance; new heros pushing older heros into obscurity/hitscans all shoot so fast there’s no point to playing projectile/lamp/brig respawn wouldn’t fix any of that

  If someone came to the past and told me that there would be a Pokemon game that would have the same problem as overwatch, I would've told them it was impossible.

  @raven_apex Too early to judge, but it already seem broken. I don't think Apex should have mechanics that cancel healings. So many scans too now, Bloodhound, Seer and Fuse Ult.. This is almost Overwatch level mechanics, not sure its healthy in Apex. Just my humble opinion.

  @StanFollower @CloverWzy The only reason players complain about the game is because they care about it, if you are gonna let every problem just stay there then the game will die due to horrible balancing. Like in overwatch, the goats meta basically killed the game.

  @Micky19Cooney @kkffoo This mod is not an all-in-one fix, you may still experience errors that Nraas ErrorTrap or Overwatch might be able to fix. It's also necessary to cap the game's frame rate and update the Graphics Rules file.

  "Bruno, you play video games right?" *Desk has crash bandicoot, monster hunter, overwatch, and mega man figures* No I don't, why?

  @WarnTV my friends had it and they peer pressured me into getting it,fast forward a few years and i have no friends, just trauma from overwatch and serious spending issues on valorant

  @OWAnonymous_ The overwatch team is probably one of the less offensive offices but there's still probably some issues as well

  Jay (@Jayykkr) reported 28 minutes ago

  @nemuicunt sometimes i can hit shots but i aim retarded i sometimes kinda "predict" shots on widow idk how to explain just feels ******* weird but must not be a me problem it has to be overwatch

  If you have a blizzard game like Overwatch. Talk about the problem on their game chat. Make everyone know what happened. Hold the leadership team accountable #blizzard #blizzardlawsuit

  @TTriforce @caluuna @Soldier76bot Absolutely no problem :) The more people know, the better. You don't have to worry about playing Overwatch - just don't forget to not buy any lootboxes - skins come back every year. As for OWL tokens, I know a large portion goes to the teams but I'm still working out the details.

  @DespawnM @reapersbf @OWAnonymous_ Playing the game was never the issue here. My friend wanted to work on the overwatch team making their awesome cinematics. She didn't even want to work on the game itself, just the story behind it. It isn't a gaming thing, it's acareer path she's been dreaming about for years.

  @TracerOneClip Ever since Overwatch came out, I've played nothing but that game. Before, I religiously played BO3 zombies. I tend to get obsessed with things. But now that my lack of wifi and broken controllers are a nonstop issue, I cant play OW anymore. Also I have no time ): too busy

  Hey friends. If you currently play any games made by Activision Blizzard (Call of Duty, Crash Bandicoot, Diablo, Warcraft, Starcraft, Overwatch, Hearthstone) and you continue giving the company money after hearing about the lawsuit brought against them, block me & get ******.

  If you currently play Activision Blizzard games — Call of Duty, Crash Bandicoot, Diablo, the Warcraft and Starcraft games, Overwatch, Hearthstone — take a moment to think about what it is you stand for before continuing to give them your money. Don't tolerate or fund abuse.

  @GPrime85 Turned my back on Blizzard after cataclysm since it got bad, came back for overwatch: the ru8ned it after a while, watched wc3 reforged crash&burn from afar, enjoying their downfall with glee, even since way before the current debacle

  @TaliesinEvitel If I hadn’t stopped playing wow a few years ago due to a broken computer I couldn’t afford to replace, I’d be done with it now. As it stand I will no longer spend money in Overwatch. Haven’t played that in months either. This is so disturbing. Men, yes men must do better.

  @The_Sopralto i have a personal problem with overwatch but i have never even unfollowed someone just because they were playing a blizzard game... like.. there is no ethical consumption under capitalism anyways so can i please just enjoy myself instead of walking on eggshells..?

  Update: Due to recent controversy, I will not be accepting characters from games made by companies like Activision, Blizzard or King, such as: Overwatch, World of Warcraft, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, etc. I don’t wish to give these companies my support or exposure.

  Hunter (@NemukeOW) reported 49 minutes ago

  @WardoTWT I feel like the only company who could really do well with overwatch other than blizzard would be RIOT Games if they werent already busy with Valorant. They have their own issues but 2 for 2 the games they have come out with are very good.

  I wonder if this glitch can still happen in Overwatch today. @PlayOverwatch

  Is everyone's Y button broken on overwatch? Like please press it I beg 😭😭 I'm on my knees just press ******* Y 😭😭

  RunningOnEmpty (@Runnin0nEmpty) reported 53 minutes ago

  @ZyoniK_ seems like more trouble than its worth honestly. its just how the game works. learn to play multiple characters. it took overwatch YEARS to add role queue. and now that it has role queue if you want to play the 'popular' role you have to wait 10 minutes longer to find a game.

  @Evernighttt @FRANA_OW Im with @Evernighttt on this one, the biggest problem for me is I cant get people to try a new game, and we all come back to overwatch to be with each other more than anything

  That's probably the same problem Game Devs face when creating new Operators (R6) new champions (LoL) or new Heroes (Dota, Overwatch, etc). 😌

  @Parasol0fDreams Firjcje tru Tho overwatch is a sensitive subject because of their company and all the legal issues going on rn i just cant support that But i wont give u **** for playing

  @FRANA_OW Don’t worry it’s mostly the teams working on new games that are having this issue. The overwatch team is mostly fine right now, or atleast from what I know.

  @GrumpyCatterman Very true, but the fact is that the far left are being officially recognized by the Biden admin as a problem which means that if they don't start overwatch on them they open themselves up for a lot of potential lawsuits in the future.
