    @HoshizoraOW Everyone I know who plays 'normally' i.e. turns off the moment they get bored still loves the game. It's like imagine if you watched your fave film over and over, you'd grow to hate it, same thing. The problem isn't overwatch, it's streaming it 12 hour a day, ofc you dislike it.

  • YogaMatt66 LookHoneyAnAbominationTTV (@YogaMatt66) reported

    @Gergalerg Apparently it is, but like overwatch is the main company/game where the problem lies??? Or some ****, it’s weird

  • wild_golbat golbat (@wild_golbat) reported

    @biggestsonicfan overwatch 2 will fix all of it

  • CarelessCoach Austin "Careless" Crawford (@CarelessCoach) reported

    @Capt_Jack87 @InfektedOW Don't mistake me, it's very very important for the health of the upcoming changes in P2P and Overwatch as an esport that tournaments like this are happening, there just seems to be a major disconnect between some groups as to how to go about that effectively.

  • cycIehit ً (@cycIehit) reported

    @sadboyjefflmao fix it to wake up earlier to queue up overwatch comp

  • TerriblePancake Wafuls at midnight🔞 (@TerriblePancake) reported

    I really wish I could be excited for the reveals in Apex. Instead I feel like I'm watching a car crash about to happen. If they go down the route of 'spooky DID!' like Overwatch did with Sigma I will not be majorly surprised but I will be incredibly disappointed.

  • m3gaoanda M3gapanda (@m3gaoanda) reported

    @GucciSerg @back4blood @wbgames I think people are going to run into the same problem as overwatch/tf2. If you try and compare the two and nitpick everything its going to suck, but if you try it out its actually a really fun game.

  • ScorchCakeTM Red Velvet Sounds Cool - 🏳️‍⚧️ (@ScorchCakeTM) reported

    My problem with Apex rn is the same problem I have with Overwatch I can’t have fun because randoms tryhard so much but I have no friends to play with so like 😞

  • winstonCOCK Winston spookycock (@winstonCOCK) reported

    I feel like the overwatch team are that one student in the class that shout "MY CODE'S BROKEN MAN" but stay on their phones instead of actually fixing it.

  • SimmerZozo Simmer Z (@SimmerZozo) reported

    @josefbutwithanF What lags will be the routing issue for the Proprietor. Which Overwatch will inform you if it's a regular thing. All you gotta do (which always fixes for me) is to place a Proprietor marker with the Buydebug tool. But you need to install it from Mod TheSims cause it's locked.

  • DARKDUME ⎝꧁꧂ ⎠DUM💀E85⎝꧁꧂ ⎠ (@DARKDUME) reported

    @bobposting to be clear both overwatch and the console are a problem.

  • TheLusin Lusin (@TheLusin) reported

    @ATPOverwatch I personally don't like the short that was posted just due to how shorts work with them being 4:3 ratio it just doesn't work with Overwatch in general if there is a way to fix that then it'd look nicer but I do like how its alot more straight to the point!

  • ctizz36 Craig Treichel (@ctizz36) reported

    @PabloGarduo8 @JC330585664 @FallGuysGame I played many game over Wi-Fi, with little to no problems, like TF2 and Overwatch… Ridiculous.

  • Grifdy Grifdy (@Grifdy) reported

    @iluvtitt Your first issue was "overwatch"

  • SilverTheSilen1 Silver (@SilverTheSilen1) reported

    is #Overwatch literally ever gonna fix its ******* smurf problems i am so tired of plat skill level people in my BRONZE lobbies with a lvl 2 account. Quit being ******* cowards just because you get money blizzard. #StopAllowingSmurfs

  • SWenerski Szymon Wenerski (@SWenerski) reported

    The problem with Double Control Point in Overwatch was not that this mode/maps were bad for the game. It was deffinitely most boring mode in PvP.

  • Alexji_OW AlexjiOW (@Alexji_OW) reported

    I stop playing Overwatch this time because i try to restart myself i have stuff to do with my family or just i have to much problems with myself like everyone is stop to playing Overwatch my friends they just leave me alone and i play to much Overwatch i start to play year 2016

  • salty_troll Salty Troll (@salty_troll) reported

    @MatiasHOe @BlizzardCSEU_EN They won’t fix anything, they will drop something new and shiny and call it an update. We will still have the same problems. Look at WoW (a buggy garbage mess) overwatch( same) hearthstone( unbalanced garbage) maybe it’s time to tach blizzard by not buying their trash anymore

  • Alexman_47 Alexman (@Alexman_47) reported

    Junkenstien is unplayable, with 1 hour of streaming of it, each match crashed mid round, and when I was allowed to reconnect, I respawned and died to the bosses along with everyone else. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. This crash happens every year. #activisionblizzard #Overwatch

  • JakeParkerLIVE Jake Parker, M.Ed (@JakeParkerLIVE) reported

    Dropped from silver to bronze in Overwatch because stupid randos decide to either AFK the entire match, feed the enemy team, disconnect from the match, or refuse to play objective at all. Actually frustrating.

  • RavenWings_ raven (@RavenWings_) reported

    As someone who has done Overwatch events, if you do a tournament 3 times and each time has more and more issues, there is a serious problem. I respect that they're taking feedback, but most of the problems could have been avoided before the tournament even was announced.

  • Daisymomma3 Akyda of the Wilds💙👵🐱‍🏍🤡🦈🌮💙 (@Daisymomma3) reported

    @BlizzardCS okay I'm not playing pvp to get my reward. I played all of your junkenstein games, it even said i won the genji skin, and the genji skin is not unlocked. what the heck guys? fix your ****. #Overwatch @PlayOverwatch

  • S41TH4M Smaytham 🇧🇪 (@S41TH4M) reported

    I might actually be a *********. I keep playing Overwatch as a support. I don't care how many people tell me Ana's kit is OP or that Bap's immortality field is broken. Try playing support and see how long you last, getting dunked by Doomfist, getting slashed by Genji and so on.

  • Burn_n_learn Mark (@Burn_n_learn) reported

    @BlizzardCS **** overwatch. Fix D2R or offer a refund to console players, by monday. Pretty simple. #refundd2r

  • ClearTogether 🏩ClearTogether💙💛🏳️‍🌈Ⓥ (@ClearTogether) reported

    @vikfinity @ohhater @SeoulessOW pharah was 12 in that picture, mercy was 17. that picture has been retconned anyways + mercy was only volunteering (not working) at overwatch at the time

  • WwendyWwilliams SweetTeaPls (@WwendyWwilliams) reported

    @LXRD_KVRAMA @eggo_k Stun is one the biggest issues in Overwatch, point blank period. Like, McCree & Roadhog being quite simple characters while being able to 1 shot people with a stun ability is quite ridiculous. I think stun shouldn’t be a thing. At least Brig & Sigma’s stun isn’t like that.

  • AtreidesRon RonPaulAtreides (@AtreidesRon) reported

    @mightbemayoo Asking for trouble with this one :/ the overwatch simps are ******* loko just scroll down on that post to see very lovely tho

  • DARKDUME ⎝꧁꧂ ⎠DUM💀E85⎝꧁꧂ ⎠ (@DARKDUME) reported

    @bobposting the real problem here is overwatch on console not how close she is.

  • carlosthepotato Carlos Caballer (@carlosthepotato) reported
