  @EFlexMusic @Pirat_Nation Nah. Overwatch has a lot of porn but its not like everyones playing it. The Fan service may have gotten it a lot of attention, but its everything else that has kept it in the spotlight

  I’m going to crash out from the queue times on overwatch. This isn’t the first time I’m complaining about it. Istg if the game doesn’t rise from the dead and get some people into my games I will go insane.

  @HubPointless Also if there were ever a topic not spoken about enough, it's this exact issue here. Counter Strike, Overwatch, Valorant, Doom is basically Halo 3 customs with player speed at 150%! Sprint is a gimmick that's fun, but it was never Halo's core experience. Halo 3 was that in spades

  @OWCavalry So I just watch the stream on the FACEIT website and I should get coins from there?? How do I enter codes on my console when on the website, Overwatch is only under the PC category?? I hope this won’t be an issue! Also, how does one link their Battlenet account with FACEIT??

  @StrawbTangerine By all means, prove me wrong. I'll wait. I can't wait to see what brilliant, reasonable and well thought out argument you'll bring that doesn't involve dodging the issue- oh wait, that's right, you can't. Go back to playing Overwatch and maining Venture, no one cares.

  Network interpolation delay in Overwatch 2, typically around 31.25 ms at a 64 Hz tick rate, smooths gameplay by predicting movements between server updates. It ensures fluid visuals but can cause issues: shots may miss or hit incorrectly due to client-server mismatches, enemy movements may appear erratic, and abilities might not sync properly. Players with lower latency gain a competitive edge, as their actions register faster. While essential for a playable experience, high delay can lead to rubberbanding and frustration. Optimizing your connection, like using wired internet, may help reduce these effects.

  @CounterStrike RIP Dangerzone RIP Operations RIP 128 tick RIP Flying Scoutsman RIP Overwatch RIP stable frametimes and latency RIP Achievements RIP distinct CS look, now replaced by soulless comic style Fix the missing content, hitreg and cheater pandemic, then we can talk.

  @arceus227 @JunosHyperRing @PlayOverwatch Overwatch isn't fun, that's the problem, and como don't give you rewards, actual rewards for ranking up, the only progression is the battle pass, which if yo don't pay get nothing

  @aaronkellerOW please fix matchmaking for Drives. It is truly the most miserable Overwatch experience. Drives are the only time where I have ever hated the game.

  About to go to target to spend $60 that I don’t have on an Xbox controller to see if the issue with my overwatch game is fixed by getting a new one.

  @tazalotl1981 @NigelMcKinney Most of the time it's not possible to vet people properly, so a stringent overwatch of these people needs to be implemented, if they want to enter they should have no problem giving finger print and DNA samples

  anyka✨ (@_celestialss) reported 43 minutes ago

  @KurtJP35 I can a guarantee they saw the success of Overwatch since this happened in 2017 and pivoted because of that. They truly are scared of doing their own thing and would rather chase trends in service of making more money

  @lavindarr overwatch and genshin community is an expert in making ships that make nosense or have no chemistry between two characters who dont even know each other just to avoid making hetero ships. i wouldnt see any problems if they didnt judge those who dont share the same ships as them

  @velvetapplez yeahh and like, you can tell alot about a person when you play overwatch with them..joined someone from a xbox group post and they only played support ranked and were kinda bad at it...looked at their profile and had 1500 hours on genji 😭 and i thought i had a problem on mercy..

  How greatness is inevitable: video games. Why? I became top % in many games: 0.5% of 20 million active players in Valorant 15% in league 10% Rainbow 6 siege 10% in Halo infinite 35% on Overwatch in 6 hours. 25% on Fortnite in 12 hours. Another time I won roughly 20-25 games in a row on Valorant via pure **********. I WENT FROM GOLD 2 TO A3 IN 2 WEEKS WHILST LAGGING 100-1000Ms PEAKS. I know how to be great. I know how to conquer. I take what’s mine ruthlessly.

  @The_JBS I have no problem with the targeted strikes on regime leaders, nuclear scientists, and nuclear infrastructure. Providing intelligence and overwatch with planes and ships.

  Overwatch please fix matchmaking in Stadium. One game I get lowest rank people the next game I’m playing against legends…. If your not grouped your not climbing plain and simple.

  @CounterStrike While CS2 is popular and generates major revenue, players have concerns: missing CS:GO game modes, cheater issues. Overwatch added 6 months ago but remains unclear. Ranked required major fixes after months. Slow development progress and a lack of transparency from developers.

  Are we as a community gonna take responsibility, when are you the player gonna take accountability? If never then quit ya crying and play the game, if you got a problem with it go play overwatch where you will have the same issue

  i want to make a big callout post about the overwatch pride not being available in certain countries while it's there in other games but i fear it won't get the attention of people beacuse most can access it without any problem...
