  • saltygingers Easy Tiger 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@saltygingers) reported

    @GreatCheshire Toys for Bob brought both crash bandicoot and Spyro back to life and their reward was being made to work on Overwatch 2

  • SparksOCE Sparks (@SparksOCE) reported

    @KracktGaming No its cause it was once more popular than valorant but blizzard made some bad decisions. Overwatch 2 is meant to fix those bad decisions

  • SAKURAMAGlC sofia | 🏳️‍🌈 | (@SAKURAMAGlC) reported

    did anyone else’s overwatch just crash?

  • SparksOCE Sparks (@SparksOCE) reported

    @JustSharkki I think overwatch 2 is just them trying to fix the game they destroyed and rebrand the series

  • HecklerUndNeko 🇺🇲Heckler_Und_Neko🏯 (@HecklerUndNeko) reported

    Black ops 4 is still the worst CoD MP I've played, I hate Vanguard but Black Ops 4 was just so bad. It wanted to be overwatch desperately, some characters like Torque, Crash, and Zero, prophet where crazy OP, jumping around corners was very meta because of bad netcode.1/?

  • harvv harvey (@harvv) reported

    i’m so tired of people spreading rumours about me, if you have a problem with me, say it to my face. i do not care for random overwatch players trying to beef me because you are literally wood tier at the game.

  • d3lkogaming D3LKO 👾 (@d3lkogaming) reported

    Just played ranked Overwatch for the first time in a month and had throwers in 5 out of 7 games. This game is so beyond dead that Overwatch ******* 3 couldn't fix it.

  • _AteoGaming Ateo (@_AteoGaming) reported

    I think sadly the end of gaming how we knew it is upon us and the state of games like diablo and overwatch and many other AAA franchises proves this. The company only cares about lining their pockets and the younger generation does not see a problem with this.

  • stonhs ً (@stonhs) reported

    been playing overwatch for 7 hours straight i think i have a problem

  • FayzaanSh BAD BOY (@FayzaanSh) reported

    @maowtf_ @Ferg Another problem with it is that it uses that old overused gameplay in which each character has its ability. Like ffs there are so many games like ex- valorant,shellfire,overwatch,modern combat vrs that i want smth new and codm wasnt like that so i still like codm more thn apex

  • ZeFilhote • KAI • (@ZeFilhote) reported

    Are you having problems with the Overwatch League website? my account is connected and the green light appears, but sometimes it disappears out of nowhere 🤡🤡 #Overwatchleague

  • crescendolll Crescendolll (@crescendolll) reported

    GGWP SHANGHAIIIII 🎉🎉🎉 Massive props to Seoul for taking it all the way, that was premium tier Overwatch. I'd thank the teams for the extra tokens the map 5 generated but I forgot to login, also I'm dead now anyway. #OWL2022

  • fuw4Q FUWA (@fuw4Q) reported

    If Overwatch 2 PvE isn't even half as immersive as the PvE in Fortnite live events, honestly just shut the servers down, you've ruined the IP already.

  • JoeZubac Joe Zubac (@JoeZubac) reported

    @CNN He says this, as he has secret service armed guards, and overwatch with AR15s making sure no one harms him.

  • ShawnIsShady 𝘚𝘏𝘈𝘞𝘕 ❌ (@ShawnIsShady) reported

    @NapstaRem @ShanghaiDragons Well it’s always a team problem, overwatch is a team game. I never said it was all whoru fault. He’s good on the heroes he specializes It’s just the fact that when he’s in they’re limited to like 2 comps lmao, and if those comps don’t work, we get what you just saw. 0-3

  • AzulAlvz Azul Alvarez @ Commissions Open 🌿 (@AzulAlvz) reported

    To the random guy I was playing Overwatch with: Sorry dude, didn't mean to disconnect like that. Hope you find more friends 🙌🏼✨

  • NVR45er NVR45er (@NVR45er) reported

    @LindseyGrahamSC Hey Lady G , how bout abolishing Space Force and creating a School Protection Force with all the Special Ops fixins ? Including but not limited to Fighter jet , drone and sniper overwatch ? That shouldn’t cost the taxpayers too much and I’m sure that would fix everything? 🙃😶🙃

  • Gale_Adelade Gale (@Gale_Adelade) reported

    HEY CAN WE DECIDE TO FIX THE CHEATER ISSUE IN OVERWATCH? PLAYED 10 GAMES TODAY AND EACH GAME HAD A CHEATER IN IT!

  • BigDuckFight BigDuckFight (@BigDuckFight) reported

    @JoshStrifeHayes Warcraft 3:Refunded Overwatch 1.2 Diablo Immoral What other crash can will Blizzard release?

  • StarAlienML Star (@StarAlienML) reported

    Made a rudimentary neural network finally in the Overwatch workshop. It’s pretty bad so I won’t show it but hopefully if enough time can pass the AI I’ve built can start to eliminate the two training bots it’s with. Big problem with it is the server crashing due to bloated code

  • MammothRick Grafitti Rick (@MammothRick) reported

    @TuskenMommy Yes but the problem is that Overwatch ends up wrecking me 😭

  • cursed_catt Blackout (@cursed_catt) reported

    @alphaINTEL The problem with esports is that eventually the base game is made miserable to the average player because of pro player complaints, happened with Overwatch, its happening with Apex

  • CherryEsoteric Cherry 🍒 (@CherryEsoteric) reported

    @HoshizoraOW as much as i'd love to see overwatch explicitly support us, i also think that with all the problems they've had in the last year it would probably just look as performative as every other company. though even just a rainbow would be nice 🤕

  • games_miz Mizy Gamez🇺🇦💙💛 (@games_miz) reported

    One thing I got to fix an Overwatch is that it'll put you into a match that's already a ended or almost ending it's annoying fix it please

  • NSCSGaming NotSoCommonSense (@NSCSGaming) reported

    @StepBroCy The issue always has been what roller is good at. Aim is the most respected skillgap in fps and controller devalues that skill. The way to fix the problem is the overwatch treatment. In pc lobbies no AA, tournaments are held on mnk. Everyone else can have .9 for all I care lol

  • decafbussy Zeric (@decafbussy) reported

    My problem with role queue Overwatch is ppl SUCK as dps

  • krzym0nkey Luis (@krzym0nkey) reported

    @amandaImighty I once became friends with a TD Bank customer service rep and a spectrum customer service rep and we would play Overwatch together

  • Finno12307 Finn Byrne (@Finno12307) reported

    @Stylosa just watched your interview regarding overwatch, it’s many issues and possible redemption. Incredibly insightful. I was rather surprised about your feeling that we have seen the last in person blizzcon. Surely Microsoft/blizzard cannot just kill something so loved?
