-
HaloiOi (@Juicebox343GS) reported@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

A Writer Friend Who Likes Hugs, Pink, and Angst (@grovyrosegirl) reported@acrondle2 Were these guys Overwatch fans? Because it may not be an issue of your voice, but rather just a lack of knowledge on their end.

Alan (@Sidtehfallen89) reported@BlizzardCS Hello I'm having issues with Overwatch 2 I keep getting a "Failed to Connect to Server" it's happened multiple times and I'm hardwired to my console it's gotten to the point where I got banned from Season 16 I'm not sure why that happens but would @PlayOverwatch look into it plz.

𝓴 (@widowmesmeric) reportedokay i’m at my dads and overwatch is running great so idk how to fix this at home, i went through my switch settings and idek 😭 i don’t know what i can adjust since im not the only on on the wifi any advice? i can’t use an ethernet cable
-
CyberQueenAlice (@CyberQueenAlice) reportedCyberpunk 2077's glitchfest launch aged better than Overwatch's desperate microtransactions—I'll take neon bugs & broken NPCs over Blizzard greed any day. Gaming's tragically poetic fall. #HotTake
-
Flib (@m6cayy) reported@mekamercy i like it a lot, i think the main issue people see with it is the makeup or something, i dunno overwatch twitter is miserable
-
trabucooo (@trabucooo1) reported@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
-
kurtz (@jaopd__) reported@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
-
NARCISSIST! (@jillxlara) reportedOverwatch fix ur servers
-
JCRE8 (@JCRE8_) reported@Blizzard_Ent please fix your game? I've been suspended enough times because of your servers. It's ruining my experience of overwatch 2
-
Paperboy (@Reniru1337) reported@Roszaii Thats the Problem with this whole „OW Porn is bigger then the Game itself“ Overwatch will never recover from that and will always have that Title. Normal conversations are nearly impossible for this Game and Characters
-
FabledEggnog (@FabledEggnog) reported@live_lobster @LoovlehCuppaTea like fr ive always had issues with nightmares/terrors and i would wake up in a jolt, punched the wall occasionally...one of those holes was made from an overwatch dream. My body reacted like im terrified dreaming about those games 😭😭 sometimes i will close my eyes and instead

kat :3 (@HugeTiddyGothGf) reportedI’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.
-
Anarchy🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 (@EleutheriaFPS) reportedHonestly taking a break from Overwatch to play a bit of Apex felt really good. My brain got to tackle some problems that I don't get to experience often in OW. And I had to relearn some mechanics as well. So even if I was screaming my head off a lot, it was oddly therapeutic.

kholby 🇵🇸 (@SAINTFIREN0X) reporteddid the overwatch servers just crash for a second…
-
The Grink🇵🇸 (@TrinityJuul) reported@KUMA_BEARR @FroggerOW you never played the PVE Blizzard made that **** was garbage. Stadium is great but naturally has issues that will be fixed over time. people like you are the reason Overwatch still has a somewhat negative outside perception and ruin the fandom
-
🎀Clown🎀 (@Edgyparappa) reported@genebbyy Heh now if they would just sneakily add my oc into overwatch I’ll fix everyone’s problems
-
Jlopez (@Jlopez9417) reported@PlayOverwatch I have a slight input lag on the Switch 2 version of Overwatch 2. Is it only me?
-
Creepy Crawler (@ThCreepyCrawler) reported@fuckhankandtony The main problems with that would be similar to the reason Lifeweaver is hated in overwatch Would there be a confirmation every time he carries you back? If not would that result in a lot of throwing? Stuff like that. Very interesting tho
-
🍉VM106🍉 (@VannaMontana106) reportedTo anyone who plays OW2 on switch i need some help. . Im having some issue with overwatch 2 on my switch when im playing in tabletop/handheld mode. for some reason either when the game load up or during a match in stadium my game crashes for no reason. I removed the software-

ricky (@peculiar1232) reportedWTF was I doing like november period man I woke up and played overwatch all day wtf was my problem + talked to redacted all day ofc I was depressed
-
Grok (@grok) reportedI couldn't find any info on whether Stefan Horrocks is bald, as his public profiles focus on his Overwatch gameplay, not his appearance. The question seems like a playful jab tied to a thread about homophobia in the Overwatch community, where Horrocks used a barber shop analogy. There's no evidence to confirm his baldness, so it's likely just banter. The thread highlights a real issue: homophobia is a problem in Overwatch, with players reporting frequent slurs and harassment. Blizzard's moderation efforts exist but are often seen as lacking, especially in-game. Better community standards could help.

Gunter (@Gunter_Gman) reportedHow 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.

Baridorielor Silvershadow 🏴☠️ (@Baridorielor) reported@JackyRaider @TheActMan_YT @ShitpostRock And given the circles TheActMan runs in, they should knew that, since they are the ones saying it, while still playing their games like Overwatch, acting like their cool now just because they paid lip service to the idea of being sorry... 😒
-
TheWalker (@TheWalker_07) reported@KitanaXMomiji Right, me not wanting to wait 10 minutes just to play a role and never get to switch off it makes me the problem Just go play overwatch if you want one so bad and so trying to make rivals overwatch
-
bleh (@GiniaAlexx) reportedOverwatch can you fix your damn game why am I crashing every time I go to Anubis and why am I suspended from having to restart my game?? I wasn’t in a match BECAUSE THE GAME CRASHED
-
Dave (@ThatOddGuyDave) reported@enchandted Apparently they "lost" the files and data to this while converting to Overwatch 2, and the only way they can "fix" it is by completely remaking it. Don't know why, but I'm not buying that excuse of theirs.
-
Larry T. England (@LarryTEngland) reported@FredGra91716482 @ThatLoganJames @MewZe_ becomes fun" because that's not something I felt playing the OW beta back in the day or when I started Rivals a few months ago. the shields aren't NEARLY as dominating as they are in Overwatch and so far visual clutter isn't too bad. My main problem with OW was the...

pete (@calmassdude) reportedmy kids teacher calls me and saysbthey got in trouble im making them play 24 hours of overwatch ranked and if they dont have a positive wr by the end of it then im just beating them
-
Hooni 🇵🇸 (@SmolHooni) reportedGame is not optimized to this day and they barely work on fixing the balance issues. The only players were ex overwatch players who were playing it because they were mad with overwatch but now they're realizing that it's a **** game and it was never going to actually rival OW
