@CriticalBard Overwatch was great. It had the potential a massive multimedia franchise. People who didnt play the game still wanted to interact with the characters/world.Blizzard eroded so much good will so fast. The greatest series of unforced errors I've ever seen.

What I would do: 1. Fix internal problems at Blizzard. We can't get to a common solution if we can't work together. 2. Gain the playerbases trust back, give us a timeline on what the stage we're currently at with "OW2". 3. Bring back Overwatch cinematics. We all loved these...

@nerdSlayerG I think your postmortem of OW was spot on. Upon seeing beta gameplay, I immediately warned people it was going to have problems: They went for half casual, half competitive gameplay elements, which would ultimately cause frustration for both sides. (1/2) #overwatch

Hmm. Just checking out some twitch streams and I don't see the fishbowl effect as much on theirs, even though they are widescreen. Read that FOV is 103, which fits the problem I see. Need to work on this more as I really want to give this game a shot after writing off Overwatch.

@annoyingaria I had this problem with competitive Overwatch and it got so much worse when I got all pissed off about matchmaking and started collecting data on my win-rates and MMR.

@AskPS_UK I’m trying to re-download overwatch but my origins addition has been replaced with legendary edition and I cannot download it I have tried restoring licensing but it’s not working. Any other things i can do?

I don't know why but for some reason, Overwatch always has these persistent audio issues that crop up. The voice chat can just stop working for no reason, where the only fix is to restart the game. It's almost like Blizzard simply don't care about it any more.

I love that Overwatch still has issues where the game bugs out and prevents you from moving/playing the game but have the nerve to penalize you for it? When is this gonna be fixed?

@RazerSupport fix the chroma apps legit cant use it on overwatch because razer forces the game to run 60 fps with the lighting features on

@Sio_the_man See but the main issue is that blizzard isn’t just overwatch. All of their games are on the line right now, and they’ve already trashed Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch 1. If they don’t save themselves from their reputation, WoW, COD, and StarCraft all die out too.

I found Muck through Steam and not even Dani (I knew about him tho). I swear with as broken as the game felt at first, once you learn it, it's really fun and definitely more balanced than Overwatch. Achievements are hard but the game's math calcs must have taken a lot of time

I think the Infiltration Cinematic might be the most polarizing issue in Overwatch.

@DpsDeku I would like to say i still play Overwatch but i cannot bring myself to accept the ActiBlizz issues. I have to the game Paladins by Hi-Rez studios that for me specifically it scratches that itch.

@raptora_rapture Another similar rumor went when a certain overwatch agent was having confidence problems she fixed him right up. Just like that.

my main issue with Overwatch is that I've mained Dva for so long that im not really competitive if I play other heroes, plus Blizzard ******* sucks now and I only know like three people that still play this

I must say, as many issues as Overwatch may have, at least you get all the characters right from the start. I am considering playing Valorant and it is annoying to have only 5 characters

@vexwerewolf I can't wait for Overwatch to die, so we can talk about what was actually very cool from it without paying lip service to Blizzard.

@AdamJamesRoper It wouldn’t be too much of a problem if challengers actually received backing. It’s always been chalked. One of the few things I think Overwatch still has over COD which from my first hand experience, which is criminal with how much support we’ve lost for that game

Even though I only play Overwatch because I have friends that still enjoy it, it sucks that there's still no permanent fix for throwers, smurfs, etc. #Overwatch #Ps4 #Sony

@Sanic_Tem The problem w/ Overwatch is that the dev team sucks at balancing. Also the issue with team games is that while you have psychological assurance that it’s not your fault, you have to trust other people.

@galarza069 @celestewithgun @Kotaku Lego was making an Overwatch set but they delayed it because of all the legal trouble Activision-Blizzard is in.
