  • DusttinBowerman The Dusttin Bowerman Show (@DusttinBowerman) reported

    @ggbench Right, I think they've still had their issues in Overwatch, and I can tell they've made improvements in Overwatch. But this is more of a warning for future players in esports titles that are early on that don't realize their full potential just yet.

  • XxEnceladusXx Bandi 🔞 #WearAMask | Trading Shiny Pokemon (@XxEnceladusXx) reported

    @Kootiepatra I know he got into trouble with the Overwatch League, and Overwatch in general with online toxicity, but then I hear "he's not bad, he's just stupid" or something like that. And I'm like "okay, well most people seem to think it's okay."

  • RubiixCube Ruben (@RubiixCube) reported

  • YoongleLily ᴮᴱLillie⁷ 🍊 (@YoongleLily) reported

    @HeroVange Games - Genshin Impact, Overwatch, Guild Wars 2, Bloons Tower Defence Problems (eh mostly family)

  • FuriousSyndrome Furious Syndrome | ✨Content Creator✨ (@FuriousSyndrome) reported

    @CoreKrysten I will try fix some Overwatch but most certainly Minecraft

  • TaikoTV Taiko (@TaikoTV) reported

    @RocketJumpNinja I mean what game is welcoming to new players at this point? All popular FPS are running as a game as a service with new content being added all the time, and since Siege and overwatch have a VERY outdated tutorial and Apex and CS don't have anything there's just watch YT...

  • glixia_ Mace Lindu =^._.^= ∫ (@glixia_) reported

    I need to lay off social media a bit. I'm at the the point where seeing other's success is making me haaaate myself and I suck at everything I love. If I fix my ranks in overwatch and league maybe I'll be fine. Then I'll be happy enough streaming them 👌

  • NOVAAAASAN NOVA #Demon (@NOVAAAASAN) reported

    people in overwatch have to realize...maybe your sr fits you more then you think....cause the people who become toxic when losing, deserve to be under diamond and realize you might be the problem and not your whole team.

  • AshJLong Chu (@AshJLong) reported

    @DusttinBowerman @ggbench I think it just feels left field because, comparatively speaking, in and out of Overwatch I think Cloud9 has had some of the least issues/player grievances of any org in Esports.

  • MIRR0RICAL Mirror || HU TAO IS HERE (BASICALLY) (@MIRR0RICAL) reported

    @genshnstruggles i used to play overwatch so i have the same problem pain

  • Drafted_Sadx kiriiiii🥀🍻 (@Drafted_Sadx) reported

    I used to dream of zaryas beam going burrrrrrrrr but now I dream of a suppressed kar98. I have finally broken out of overwatch warzone it is brothers I’m down bad

  • PrincessOtC Sister Rose | Virtual Púca (@PrincessOtC) reported

    Probably not going to stream Overwatch for a while as I'm having some tech issues with it and I get super anxious/light headed trying to play the game and talk about it's mechanics at the same time. Going to spend the next week working out my next lot of streams.

  • Stryxus Stryxus (@Stryxus) reported

    Today is a fun day in Overwatch: I keep getting mained by a tank or dps or 2 tanks. I also keep forcing the one who only picks broken heros to choose hanzo. I only get killed by his brokeness aka 2x collision box for ult and teleporting arrows

  • airviewstudio SMDStudios Jdfskitz (justin fitzpatrick) (@airviewstudio) reported

    @Ryaniken101 @NSuperGamerGuy @PlayerEssence Diablo 3, Overwatch, Spyro Reignited, Crash, Crash Team Racing, GTA, Ark isn't really a skill tree. its a Build tree.

  • Ash_061500 Ash ( . _ . ) (@Ash_061500) reported

    @ImFreeMasonLive Overwatch needs to fix there stuff and so does Apex

  • MogMoira Dr Moira O'Deorain - Minister of Genetics, Oasis (@MogMoira) reported

    @aldaneron She's also aware that systems need antagonistic balance. Talon just causing chaos would be a problem. They need somebody to go in and stop any disasters that happen as a result. The new Overwatch is perfect for this. Too small to be a problem, but big enough to solve disasters.

  • Thirstyghostbby ThirstyGhostBaby (@Thirstyghostbby) reported

    I don’t like the idea of passives in OVERWATCH 2. That’s not gonna fix everything chief. Now individualized passives...

  • sunfl0wer717 ✨sunflower✨ (@sunfl0wer717) reported

    why doesn't overwatch's tutorial include the settings? where to find everything, how to fix/ fine tune your sensitivity, the different settings for each hero, etc. if you've ever played on the default sens it is just garbage and idek why they have it set to that.

  • SullustanRebel9 SullustanRebel92 (@SullustanRebel9) reported

    @artemisthemp @pushsquare Technically a good thing, a game funded by mtx that is constantly update e.g The Division, Apex legends, Cod war zone, Fort nite, overwatch, Destiny. But realistically its devs ****** excuse to release a broken unfinished shitshow

  • Ash_061500 Ash ( . _ . ) (@Ash_061500) reported

    @ImFreeMasonLive @PlayApex It happends in Overwatch too, I've been having problems where I can't hear weather points have been captured or when I get a health pack.

  • kaezeeroszee kz 🌙 (@kaezeeroszee) reported

    hey does anyone have like really weird stuttering issues in overwatch despite having generally stable 100+ fps. like the game just locks up over and over. its not like its just lagging.

  • ShoopusMyWoopus Dirt (@ShoopusMyWoopus) reported

    every moment that passes without me being productive causes my brain to feel A Lot Of guilt due to the fact that im not working towards living my best life HOWEVER fortunately for me, a more prominent part of my brain simply ignores that . time 2 play overwatch lol

  • MogMoira Dr Moira O'Deorain - Minister of Genetics, Oasis (@MogMoira) reported

    @aldaneron Sanjay: Bought up most of the Blackwatch assets following the fall of Overwatch. He wanted a corporate intelligence service, but accidentally bit off more than he expected as Talon took the move as a bid to join Talon. They accepted him and basically put everything in his name.+

  • DusttinBowerman The Dusttin Bowerman Show (@DusttinBowerman) reported

    @ggbench I mean I also said multiple other titles besides Overwatch. I included it because they had issues over here like I mentioned. The primary focus was on all esports not just Overwatch though.

  • connor87150367 connor (@connor87150367) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Can you guys fix the problem of joining games in the middle and even at the end of games?! Really annoying to spawn in and there are seconds left of a match and I can do a damn thing about it! Wow overwatch you ******* suck

  • nova700et2 Nova700et2 (@nova700et2) reported

    @Metro_OW Winning in overwatch feels really good sometimes, but losing is the literal worst experience in gaming I have ever had. I had to change my mindset to give 0 fs about my rating and just play. How do they fix it? Is it just match making?

  • LastofTheLewd Ellie/Abby (@LastofTheLewd) reported

    @foxhoundRP // I'm just talking about being disappointed to find an account in the same verse only to discover that you have zero compatibility with them. Especially for smaller verses like TLOU. If I was an Overwatch account, I'd have zero trouble finding people of similar interests.
