Manny Manuz (@thedragonmanny) reported from Clifton, Arizona@ponyboy818 @Albern__ @Chrisppapples @DestinyTheGame On the same note, many games handle story MUCH worse. Overwatch only recently gave us any Dva lore at all after more than a year of the game being out. Bungie is handling it pretty well compared to more studios. The actual balancing is the main issue with the game right now.

Charlie ⚔️ (@therealcharlie) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@shancake_ Ah. But like, if I fix this then Overwatch will be out of screen for me. It’s weird idk. Fix one game and another one breaks lol 🥺
-
BlackAbsinthe_ (@X_AngelStone_X) reported from Cahokia, IllinoisJeff Kaplan listen.... you disconnected me from my game before we even got a match...I restarted and, the bullshit is saying “Rejoin match” and, it’s not letting me join even though I WASNT IN THE MATCH TO BEGIN WITH. Fix it Overwatch Gods🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 #overwatch

dana 宁才 @ zenkaicon! (@mistyterrainn) reported from Wyncote, PennsylvaniaWhen a league team makes a joke about how overwatch is broken that's how u know blizzard ****** up/needs to rebalance
-
TheNøvaPlays/ HighMinded (@_IAmNovaa) reported from Bronx, New YorkWE SWITCHED TO OVERWATCH BECAUSE APEX IS TRASH @PlayApex FIX YOUR AUDIO MY GUYS
-
The Vegas Take (@TheVegasTake) reported from Las Vegas, Nevada@rebeloverwatch @xNorfTownRebelx Sure I'm part of the problem, for being honest. Let me be clear. I dont care what your opinion is, dont want you as a listener, and you are insignificant as you can be. If you dont care about what I say then ho away. My show, and my life will be fine without mr. Overwatch lol
-
Will Moll (@The_Real_LJM) reported from South Orange, New Jersey@SamitoFPS @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent I actually think a big problem here is the disparity between what Overwatch devs want this game to be and what they want us to want and what the majority of the playerbase actually wants. Story is cool and exciting IF we get NEW GAMEPLAY like you said. We’re stuck in a rut
-
Dan (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ (@JeIIicoe) reported from Woking, EnglandIt’s legitimately not even funny how much of a shambles Blizzard is right now. From Diablo to Overwatch problems and now this, you wonder why even more issues arrive when you lay 800 people off.
-
Kat (@KatGoneGamer) reported from New Glasgow, Nova ScotiaJesus christ I'm just going to delete my tweet. No where did I ever say that Overwatch was the only damn game in existance that had issues. I only said that it has MANY ISSUES *hint at my scarastic number i used*. People of Twitter. Stop reading more into that that don't exist
-
xZero 🍑 (@XzibitZzero) reported from Tukwila, Washington@john_t_gonzales @PlayOverwatch Competitive players who have learned the game inside out, agree that Overwatch has some issues that need to be addressed. And this is for the benefit of the game, fixing it's issues help prevent OW from dieing out.
-
Kenet (@kekekentoi) reported from Davao City, DavaoIf Overwatch won't fix their crappy matchmaking system and update new stuff, I'm going Apex Legends.
-
Slaw Dawg Millionaire (@DaKactusMan) reported from Ballenger Creek, MarylandEverything I’ve tried gets me oh so close then a random crash happens. And all this started cause I played a game of Overwatch that crashed on me. I hate everything. Thank you.
-
Mel Andersson (@NonScaryMelB) reported from Bowling Green, KentuckyI haven’t play Overwatch in over a week. Still have a bad taste in my mouth for it after my placements. Another issue- they buff heroes that do not need it and have left brig useless. Also, watching hours of fkn goats comps during #owl2019 doesn’t exactly get me hyped to play.
-
Lord Prettyfingers (@cartwleft) reported from Ithaca, New YorkMy biggest weakness in overwatch competitive is my computer’s random restart issue. Shit drops me 50 sr almost every day.
-
Jacob (@KaosuNoKage) reported from Los Angeles, CaliforniaI just realized how toxic CGL really is, specifically PS4 Overwatch. Hopefully XB1 isn’t having as many problems.
-
Gareth Hansford (@druyii) reported from Rancho Cordova, CaliforniaOverwatch has become so stale. There is no serious reward system, but the loot boxes create the need to feel rewarded without actually fulfilling that role. New characters are increasingly broken and kill off viability of the original characters rather than building on them.
-
Aaron C (@blahjedi) reported from Hobart, Tasmania@sincespacies It’s all arbitrary gatekeeping bollocks man. Attempting to qualify what the label applies to is the problem. If someone plays 30 minutes of Candy Crush on the bus each day, they’re as much of a gamer as a Twitch streaming pro Overwatch player.
-
Gary Clay (@damascus111) reported from Seattle, Washington@kg_jpg hahah. We are working to fix it. You have never seen Overwatch like this before!
-
Sleepyboi Moosh 🌙 (@SimmonsD22) reported from Sun Prairie, Wisconsin@H0ney_Muztard People who can't flex in overwatch is why I have trust issues
-
Tabi (@iTabi) reported from Jasmine Estates, FloridaThe problem with no limits in Overwatch is when the defense team picks all symmetra/bastion/torb. Like way to go you damn *******, the game isn't fun now 🙄
-
David Acuff (@DavidAcuff) reported from Los Angeles, CaliforniaIt’s probably best I didn’t join the military bc now I’d always be calling in the overwatch sniper or napalm planes. Coworker: We’re out of creamers in the kitchen. Me: no problem *into cuff link* Eagle One strike hot zone 2-3-4 Zulu tango ...
-
Obligatory Nobody Anagram (@Kiaxet) reported from Burbank, California@Briggsycakes Look at it this way: Overwatch League starts next week. It doesn't fix this game, but it's something to look forward to, at least.
-
Mad Dog Malcs 🇬🇧 (@MadDogMalcs) reported from Birmingham, England@UnifyBlood @EssRawr @GearsofWar Well firstly, it depends if it’s a genuine quit or disconnection. Overwatch has a real problem with this aswell. There needs to be a review on how competitive quitting affects the rest of the team that stays in general across all games.
-
Katie Cullen @ Anime Pasadena (@Kiaxet) reported from Los Angeles, CaliforniaOr just PLAYING OVERWATCH AT ALL, because boy did my computer choke and lag madly in the middle of Uprising. Sure did leave @aviekokyre and two randos without a tank. Sorry ;;;
-
♡ Julia ♡ (@JuliaHankins_) reported from Nashville, TennesseeMaybe Overwatch should fix their game first before they continue realeasing toys and other shit. That game is dying and they’re letting it.
-
Jon Prevo (@joncprevo) reported from Ann Arbor, MichiganWifi is not the problem because I switched to overwatch and have like a 30 ping so I'm amazing
-
LZSUPREME (@SUPREME_FLANKZ) reported from Lincoln City, OregonI might just quit Overwatch because the game is literally dogshit right now all the heroes are broken as shit especially Reaper, Bastion, Hanzo, Baptiste and any bullshit hero in the game.
-
𝓑𝓮𝓬𝓬𝓪 ♡ (@becca_Kelly) reported from Liverpool, EnglandThis is 100% me when the team are rubbish specially when plat/diamond 🤭😂😂😂 #Overwatch problems 😂
-
Kensi Michelle (@CiriAntares) reported from Fredericksburg, Virginia@georges852 @MokiAwa I think she should show up at Blizz-con & crash their party! Frankly I'd love to see Moki's fursona as an Overwatch character!
