  • aprilf00zestan eme ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ♡‧₊˚ (@aprilf00zestan) reported

    bought 3 months of playstation plus so i could play overwatch… n the lag is so so bad ;______;

  • captawesomeOW Gaming’s Most Positive Pillar (@captawesomeOW) reported

    I literally don’t do anything to anyone, I keep my head down and grind games and stream, I don’t go looking for problems. This is all because of the fact these people can’t handle the fact that I’m finding success and out working them, being “garbage at overwatch”

  • Marc31__ Mardog (@Marc31__) reported

    I played two comp games. One of them is mid masters and the other one has a diamond and a GM in the same game. Overwatch...idk how you gonna do it, but holy hell PLEASE FIX THESE QUE'S

  • abadwal1 abadwal_ (@abadwal1) reported

    @XboxSupport Overwatch is not really working, it is showing some service issues

  • KyotoNightmare (@KyotoNightmare) reported

    @sweetdreamsh1 Why not simply add in something similar to CSGOs overwatch? Clips are sent and streamers/trusted members of the community can vote on if they’re cheating or not. Not only would that help solve some of the issue it would also be educational and content creation.

  • birch_han Birchie 👾✨ (@birch_han) reported

    I think tomorrow will be my first stream back since I had to stop due to computer issues! The question is, do I play some good old overwatch or maybe try out this cute comfort game my mom suggested called "The Unfinished Swan"

  • solarsaturnnn saturnn! | 🏳️‍🌈 (@solarsaturnnn) reported

    also may i add- EVERYONE THAT PLAYS OVERWATCH CAN SEE THAT NOT JUST THE PLATFORM YOU PLAY ON. ITS CROSS PLAY YOU FOOLS i’m actually glad there’s some decent people in the community but everyone else needs to shut up and fix themselves.

  • MarKiEx814 GingerDoughBoy (@MarKiEx814) reported

    @PaulieEsther1 @DeathBear85 To be fair. I don't think extending PTB would of helped. It is a cross-platform issue from what I'm hearing (even though I still think it's Anniversary event file issue). They need PTB on console, Overwatch and others do it. Even if it takes extra time, I believe it needs done!

  • tabaxii_ tabs ✨ (@tabaxii_) reported

    overwatch i’m begging you please fix mercy’s sigrun skin and give her red eyebrows please.

  • Luna_Kitsuna Luna 🇫🇷💛🤍💜🖤 (@Luna_Kitsuna) reported

    I'm cranky as **** and the worst decision i made today was to login to overwatch

  • spencelliott Spencer Elliott (@spencelliott) reported

    @BlizzardCS After the cenimatic I “press A to play” and it says “error your Overwatch account has been locked”

  • ohhoe rachel (@ohhoe) reported

    @BrainScraps oh i was playing 8 hours a day for months. every waking minute not working i was playing overwatch

  • YuseiFudoGamer STONER BAYONETTA IS CALLED MARIWANNA (@YuseiFudoGamer) reported

    @chinchila010 ...... I do not see any evidence of "unfinished games" their thing about free updates just seems like they want extra content added. They have free updates in tons of games, on other consoles too, but I don't hear y'all complaining about Overwatch being a "fix it later" game.

  • GrantHasFriends Grant (He/Him) (@GrantHasFriends) reported

    Okay I’m gonna say it: Overwatch is still a fun game, the only problem is that the playerbase shrank

  • Huntedwrld 𝓗𝓾𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓭 𝓦𝓸𝓻𝓵𝓭 (@Huntedwrld) reported

    @Kingheights3 Actually the last two times happened on my ps4 slim, this is now the first time it did it on my ps5 Didn't have any issues when i played cyberpunk/ghost of tsushmia/overwatch Plus the disk was pretty ****** anyways

  • ChenRitchie Ritchie Chen (@ChenRitchie) reported

    Dude I wish overwatch was just the way it used to be. Full headon feeding and crying over hanzo's broken ***

  • OWJaeger Jaeger (@OWJaeger) reported

    @tchaikovsky_fps Every character post launch release into overwatch has had 1 or more forms of CC their kit outside of Moira and echo, who have their own obvious problems

  • itshammond ItsHammond (@itshammond) reported

    @CrispyFrise @RaymanForSmash With what? Overwatch? Don't forget aside from CTR the recent Crash games haven't launched on the Switch. I don't think Nintendo would be so keen working with them

  • SIGMILLIONAIRE styx (rt 📌’d) (@SIGMILLIONAIRE) reported

    @Niivia__ Hopefully they fix the balacing issues, overwatch had a bad habit of constantly doing total character reworks so character would be completely overhauled on the fly

  • slut4simps mona @ botw2 crumbs!!!! (@slut4simps) reported

    okay overwatch is redownloading 😎 is echo still broken?

  • MusicLuvrr11 ITzMeB%tch! (@MusicLuvrr11) reported

    @cqtbug @PlayOverwatch This is disgusting, this makes the entire game look bad. Overwatch really needs to fix this problem.

  • M0nsterParent K Krisis (@M0nsterParent) reported

    I go so quickly from: "I'm going to play Overwatch today!" To: "**** Overwatch piece of **** broken *** game."

  • Mr_JFL MrJFL (@Mr_JFL) reported

    @SamitoFPS Overwatch is sadly moving down this path in many ways and has been for a while, lamp and mech recall are the two big ones right now. Others can be rez/inspire but they've "balanced" them. However IMO still has the same problems of being broken or bad in gameplay or in concept.

  • theanitasigg anita jizzy tissue (@theanitasigg) reported

    The fact that they redesigned Sombra for overwatch 2 😌😌 but refused to fix her in Overwatch 1 😌😌 blizzard don’t give a **** about us 😌😌

  • GameNerd8o8 Aloha Jules (@GameNerd8o8) reported

    Why do people DDos QP lobbies on @PlayOverwatch ? It's funny how my connection was perfectly fine when ya'll were pushing cart. The second we start holding it down, I lag so bad and get disconnected. Ya'll that much of a poor sport to lose a non ranked game? #Overwatch #Crossplay

  • PhilWeaks Phil (@PhilWeaks) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Dearest Overwatch , Please fix the state of the game. Blocking 25k as rein in qp dealing 14k dmg and having the most kills and point kills , point time , still being complained about and reported. Please make this better. I do not like giving my best and getting **** on.

  • murlocprincess mel🥰 (@murlocprincess) reported

    blizzard sells overwatch for $5 during their sale and yet some people still think that smurfs aren't a problem LOL

  • thezeiders Casey Zeiders (@thezeiders) reported from Los Angeles, California

    Well Overwatch is officially unplayable with the lag from crossplay now. Thanks @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch.

  • Masakiss1 Masakiss (@Masakiss1) reported

    I think this applies to the EU as well. I believe that all those European nations do not share same language and culture and that can be a problem when playing #Overwatch that heavily relies on communication. Some players NEED to join NA servers to play the game in English 😞

  • smokdbacon smokdbacon (@smokdbacon) reported

    @PlayOverwatch so when i tried to play overwatch today it said that i didnt own the game so i tried to uninstall it and reinstall but it said that i never owned it and that i need to buy it again cause its not in my owned games anymore is there anyway i can fix that?
