@SaduzBR @VGC_News I dont know why yall think microsoft isnt the type to snatch COD away from its competitors or overwatch, diablo, crash ban. or the 6+ games the 15 studios activision has that release per year.this is bigger than cod, cod is the biggest name so sony focus on that to the regulators

@xXEndermanManXx @mizliz_ Yes, but the fact that the tiny details like the pinatas and lampposts are almost identical is the issue. It's almost an exact copy of Overwatch's version, just with snow on it.

@justR3TH @magicm8ball I feel like one of the biggest issues is, and this is coming from someone who is entering overwatch 2 as a noob, when I go to look for streams I'm mostly looking for top players, there's very little pro players actually streaming, the owners need to push there pros to make contnt

@pingoonootnoot @sapphicslike Is it bad just cause if you ship a straight ship that’s normal but anything gay is considered ‘ruining’ it? Perhaps some Overwatch characters would be a good example? Representation is fine. Shipping is fine. If anyone threatens or argues that’s the problem.

I only say this because people are getting more and more annoying with it when the actual problem is dps moira and brigitte going on 30 kills with high heal scores. I wish overwatch would decide if supports are also going to be KILLING characters or not.

I like Riot do inclusivity on Valorant, killing CSGO which mostly male chars. That's why Overwatch great, they not only put women. They also put orientation and race on our face directly. Also #CallingAllHeroes was a good step from dev to bring problem into page.

just gonna throw it out there that overwatch push maps would be better if the progress was traded back and forth, it wouldnt fix all the issues that the mode has but its a better starting poimt than push currently is. the bot should push the barrier back to center

When you wanna go riding but its raining so the trails will be muddy and then you still have a back/neck issue going on. Guess I'll play Overwatch and be a lazy dog around the house.

Me and my friend have been having a big on overwatch where it won’t let us join a group together? I’ve seen nothing about this bug with literally anyone else and their games so I’m just not sure if it’s just an us problem or what

The overwatch ranked system is just completely broken. I lost at least 10 games in support in a row or something, probably more, went from diamond 4 to 5. Like it's ******* broken. In ow 1 with an actually somehow working ranked system i would have never been able to hit diamond

I love dps players in Overwatch complaining about not getting heals while I have the most healing in a game and on top of that also have 50% more damage than they do. But sure the supports was the problem.

@Tumbae_ Mmmmm Problem is that you can't do that from level 0, so it doesn't get realised by new players, UNLIKE in the first game. Blizzard did a fucky wucky with overwatch 2

@adovahkitty OOO I've got one. Tank Player: "You guys suck. If you have 0 assists on DPS you're not doing your job because you're not working with your team." Thought I was on Overwatch TikTok for a second. @Roll0fSushi can confirm this happened in game.

@BlizzardCS I’m playing overwatch 2 and my settings have been randomly changed so that pressing L stick in the middle of a game opens the chat and it’s making it very difficult to play the game. I don’t see how to fix this as there’s no setting for chat button that I see.

@magicm8ball As a „okay“ player in low ranks watching overwatch streams just puts a lot of pressure on me thats why i dont really watch it cause it makes me think **** like „ill never be THAT good with ana“ for example. Skill issue i know 🤷🏻

@GetQuakedOn Overwatch 1 didn’t have heroes going invisible, reloads going twice, strange lines in place of your cooldown times, and a thousand other game-breaking bugs. The meta right now is because of the insane power creep issues we’ve been having, I’d much rather the game be balanced

If The Overwatch Team or Blizzard can fix those issues, to where they are actually hearing us and just saying it, by adding in even simplistic motivation ideas especially for the F2P Players to continue playing the game, then colour me impressed. Otherwise, I'm gonna skip S2.

@QueenLoutre agree though i understand them wanting to define roles more finely but if they overdo it we might end up with overwatch type of queueing issues ngl

@QuicheNuts I'm a big agreer on this one. I don't think this is the main issue with the twitch viewership but it's such an important point to make when talking about Overwatch's accessibility as a game
