Well this is profoundly frustrating. After a 15 minute test stream of Overwatch, at 1080p60fps with a 6k bit rate, I experienced zero frame drops. Last night I could barely manage 720p60fps at a 4.5k bit rate. Problem is I didn't change anything. 1/

@BlizzardCS Unplayable FPS lag in Overwatch. Played 1 game no issues, moved on 2 number 2 and I drop to below 20fps constantly. Tried optimizing settings, nothing is working. Any ideas?

@flameirl Overwatch 2 PVE will hopefully fix this, although it is a long ways away.

@TeslaSciences My biggest issue is when I encounter people like this in overwatch and report them nothing almost ever happens, I reported so many people for using slurs and being even worse then this just for blizzard to do nothing or like restrict them from using chat for a day or 2.

@HeyMunchables When Overwatch added this I thought the same thing. I should have a limited # of "avoids" per day where I can avoid people. Only issue with this is in high elo if you avoid people there's a limited number of players that high but for majority player base this would be good

@NhirkoHunter The problem with overwatch is that they made the game.

I went 1 in 10 for my Overwatch Comp matches. Is that good? 1100 rating? Lol. I used to be 2200 (which I know is just okay) New season problems this weekend right?

@OWAnonymous_ In the country I currently live in Overwatch's voice chat is literally not joinable unless I use a VPN, so no thanks, I'd rather not put myself through extra lag than have an opportunity to listen to dubious callouts & get harassed in 68% of the matches lmao

Thanks for coming to Sunday Mass...Effect aka I stop streaming mid-stream while trying to fix volume bc idk how to do anything right. I placed silver in Overwatch comp matches, not like it matters. Totally also hit 60 in WoW going on a wild goose chase with a random. So, yeah.

@Jsweeezy10 Have you tried playing overwatch, that game has had core issues for years and no content added and what was added broke the game. Apex is so nice after coming from the abusive relationship that is OW.

@coochtastic to be fair,a lot of PvP games have that issue where MMR is just nonexistent in Unranked game modes. It happened in Overwatch. and also in League of Legends,which just made things very anxiety inducing. afaik,those problems never got fixed either cause the devs don't care.

@M_MRL_Paladins It seems to me ... It will be like with Ana from Overwatch. She came to the service young, lost an eye and returned later, in old age ... So Octavia - entered the service of a young ... lost a leg .. and in old age returned to the battlefield ...
