    Installing valheim with the hope to enjoy it and get rid of overwatch for just a while(and hoping I won't lag too xD )

  • Eienteruna Goth Peko (Round 2) (@Eienteruna) reported

    @wingedkitten1 250 hours on Overwatch by itself is a problem... (I don’t want to know my hours...)

  • Gjappy Gjappy, Human Angel (@Gjappy) reported

    Got in an Overwatch match where someone of the enemy team was hacking causing players to disconnect, such a loser.. lol

  • MrBrocoli3 Mr Broccoli (@MrBrocoli3) reported

    @Swagvadar @NVIDIAGeForce Pretty sure Overwatch is the problem here. I got a 2080 and Overwatch used to boot up fine but after an update a while ago the game experiences terrible frame drops as for some reason it doesn't load all the way. Same thing happens with my friend who has an AMD card.

  • BeakdMan BeakdMan (@BeakdMan) reported

    Guys i was falsely first overwatch banned and then vac'd for phone sharing although i didn't cheat on any of my 3 accounts,didn't give them to anyone,did not exploit any glitch nor even install any software on my pc.And i didn't even smurf.Pls lift the ban @Steam_Support @CSGO 32

  • sneakynexow Sneaky Nex (@sneakynexow) reported

    nevermind sorry. I wanted to play Overwatch but the second I loaded into my game it crashed and lost 50 SR because of it again. This is the 2nd time in 3 days it's done that and th 7th crash in 2 days. I dont get it. What is going on. I have a brand new pc and everything.

  • Linkaden Link (@Linkaden) reported

    @urxnot I will never understand why its so difficult for Overwatch. This should have been prioritized for the longest time but they kept updating the game with broken characters and broken balance changes.

  • m0chi_aiko mochi (@m0chi_aiko) reported

    @VisorDaddy @Brenna_AM_ @EskayOW when has ammo ever been a problem in overwatch

  • tiredlilgabe Gabriel (@tiredlilgabe) reported

    People say **** like "delete brig" and "delete symm" as if that would fix Overwatch and never tackle the real solution: deleting Oasis.

  • NathanielLehma2 TacoFett (@NathanielLehma2) reported

    @PlayOverwatch this is a very stupid question but I play on console and I am a competitive person and I wish to stream my perspective but it seems overwatch has trouble streaming from the actual PS4 is it my internet or is it not optimized to be streamed from a console?

  • Danielgrowl1 Daniel Neil (@Danielgrowl1) reported

    @G2esports @AorusOfficial I would stream League of legends and overwatch it would be nice to have a new laptop since my current reach high temps crash sometimes and can barely play league

  • ThinhVo20 masterasia (@ThinhVo20) reported

    @Metro_OW @KingofRGN Overwatch actually have a good anti cheat system. So the ideas of cheater make no sense when Overwatch never face this issue. Smurf however is something that most company dont deal. Even league suffered this

  • nashibby Nashi~ (@nashibby) reported

    Overwatch is still nurfing the wrong characters and not fixing the problems that its players have complained about for months

  • commiemommey uwu (@commiemommey) reported

    @TangIedUpInBlue I used to be a hardcore Overwatch player in 2017 but dropped it when they screwed over mercy mains and it fills me with indescribable rage to see the current state of the game and how broken that **** is.

  • NotGoldfish Not Goldfish (@NotGoldfish) reported

    I hope blizzard announce that they're gonna balance overwatch properly at blizzconline zen and ball weren't really a problem but now they're a lot worse because blizzard nerfed the other tank/support heroes into oblivion

  • ballmainuwu b (@ballmainuwu) reported

    @teocko @ball_gdh he literally only recieved nerfs since his release. and yet he went from throwpick to best tank in the game. are you connecting the dots, retard? people that day hes broken are too stupid to press H and change to something else, which is a core mechanic of overwatch and the game

  • alleycat_127 i'm just here for the memes (@alleycat_127) reported

    I restarted like 7 times to make sure it wasn't internet lag; played overwatch and never once got lag while playing. Never ever had this issue w/ apex legends before the season 8 mayhem update... Thanks @Respawn !! 😒 You just ****** up the game.

  • WednesdayOw Mel (@WednesdayOw) reported

    Anyone having problems with the new battlenet interface? My #Overwatch crashes when I enter a game in the selected hero phase :( and it has happened to me twice in comp now with the match getting canceled😭

  • akfedeau AK Fedeau (@akfedeau) reported

    @jennayow jenna i saw a piece of 3d-modeled overwatch fanart the other day and the first thing i noticed was that they had gone to the trouble of making the character's suit visibly herringbone

  • KlumeScribbles Klume🎺🦦 (@KlumeScribbles) reported

    @txcp1 @hayinator @PlayVALORANT I think the subtitles are for people with hearing issues or attention difficulties to be able to catch important lines like ult casts. Overwatch has it too

  • pesky_joe Joe Pesky (@pesky_joe) reported

    @FoxViking1 @shinobi602 Buy your games better. I don’t have this problem. Overwatch, all dlc is free. Witcher, dlc is a stand alone game basically. Diablo 3, free dlc updates.

  • rnariano Mariano 🪅 (@rnariano) reported

    What the hell I think my overwatch is broken :(

  • pablofranco2233 BiggDad (@pablofranco2233) reported

    @FeliciaVox Cause I’m currently grinding destiny 2. The problem is that I have completed all my missions and stuff. I need a new game to play I guess. Btw you are pretty good at Overwatch 👍

  • thesouphater ihatesoup (@thesouphater) reported

    @MLFoxwell The middle two are lucio from overwatch and crash bandicoot

  • MickGordonStan Pooty X3 (@MickGordonStan) reported

    I **** on Overwatch constantly but it will never disappoint me the way DBD consistently disappoints me. Worst issue I ever had in overwatch was when echo came out and there was occasional server lag and some disconnects from games. DBD makes me scream laugh after every patch.

  • squaps_ **** it, he/they chris (@squaps_) reported

    played some overwatch with some friends on switch (I am aware this is a problem to start with) and it was miserable and I think like 3/4 of them are bad how do I tell them this.

  • GeeOhSeVeN finals are pain (@GeeOhSeVeN) reported

    If you don't see the problem with overwatch balance when every time genji or Ana are moderately good they get gutted but when echo is meta for multiple months she gets her ammo reduced by 2 then idk what to tell you
