Still solves q times, visual clutter and carry potential issues. Balance would be a nightmare, just like 1-2-2 would be either way but soft lock would allow for original Overwatch promise of diverse comps and matchups, would add more depth to the game. (3/3)

@queue_teaa Overwatch is an inherently non-competitive game but the team won’t accept this so they keep trying to make it a valorant clone because it sucked their remaining player base before it died the same year. Just embrace the zane and don’t fix what isn’t broke

There are real, solvable problems in Overwatch and instead the devs are making up a fake problem to introduce 5v5

I strongly feel that Jeff Kaplan did not choose to leave on his own and that he only did “willingly” bc a higher up told him to leave bc he didn’t agree with changes. Dude loves Overwatch. He was the only one standing up for us that hated certain changes, to fix them.

Here is my peace on Overwatch as a 5v5 game. 1. So many tank players at Pro level are gonna lose jobs. From Tier 1 - 3, it will happen. 2. Instead of solving the overall problem of tanks not bring fun to play, its just been removed instead.

@TranscendentOrb @overwatchleague Bad example role queue sucks case in point they have to literally change the fundamentals of an entire role to try to fix it. In my opinion if brig was never made overwatch would have like a million less problems than it does rn.

@PoMoTV_ @CSGO I have the same issue. Never killed a team mate, doing 10-12 overwatch per day. Helping others. getting positive coms. Never cheated. Never left a game, never got kicked. Just one disconnect due to internet several weeks back. And 50% of matches have at least 1 spinbot...

My only issue with overwatch going 5v5 is actual pro teams. Every single team has to sacrifice a tank player out. What are they gonna do? Find another team with even lower earnings?

The problem is what game I'm going to play next. Overwatch was the only game with a large player base that I liked. I hope I'm wrong, but I might be forced to switch to League if I'm not.

Now my problems with Destiny have infected Overwatch. I might just give up on the whole PC thing. Not my luck it seems.

@PlayOverwatch (4) Dive, Rush, Halt Hook, Double Bubble IS #overwatch; removing a character changes the core of the game please don't even try to tell me otherwise. And then we have the issue of the long queue times, where do you think those players will go to? I expect longer queues.

Changing Topics off Overwatch, @Ford released the F150 Lightning an all electric full size truck. My first take, is that while it's innovative and has some unique features, it's still a waste of money like every other EV since the problems all EVs have have not been addressed.

I don't understand overwatch's 1 tank thing. If the idea is to nerf double barriers and make damage queue times better, why not add a third damage slot? 1 tank doesn't help with the fundamental issue of half the characters being in 1 role.

@codecbot @PVPX_ However, I don’t think there is a clear solution to that problem. When I think of other games in ranked, such as CSGO, LoL, Siege, Halo, Overwatch, etc., they all have that same issue. 2/4

@Blizzard_Ent Can you fix your f****** game Blizzard? I should not be getting stuck in Hero Select and Load-in Screens on console and my internet is just fine. Fix your game or stop banning people who get kicked from comp because your game does not work. #Overwatch

Hot take: No one asked for a 5v5 Overwatch experience nor did we need it The devs literally haven't played their game if they don't see the current issues that everyone has with the game.

@M4SK_ED @Jay3OW Was 2 tanks really so integral to that Overwatch that you loved? Or is it the inability to have 2-3 tanks the main issue?

@Flats_OW Overwatch should fix their matchmaking. I’m a 300 lvl doom main and I get into a match with 30 lvl players, who don’t do anything and just grieve the whole game.

New Overwatch 2 changes's Opinion 5v5: ❌ It does not convince me too much. The main problem is that they are going to eliminate a pool tank and not a dps quota. Maps: GOOD all of them✅ (Especially Rome and New York) Torb Design: Its ok 👏✅ (1/2)

@RancidUndead @OWAnonymous_ Its been pretty balanced in the past year tbh. Especially like september. Overwatch players are just stuck in a state of permanently angry since brig tbh. The game has felt really good to play for about a year now. Obv there are still problems but not as bad as before

Overwatch going to 5v5 is going to cause problems for the 6 person team we usually have 😭

@dafran You know the problem ? - We loved you for the stands you took (Throwing games , quitting the overwatch league , getting banned for stupid **** on twitch and so much more) know why ? - Cause that was you involved. The rebel attitude was cool. This is nothing about you. Give up

@DB_Stand I still enjoy it and play almost daily. It just has a lot of issues that it looks like they're addressing in Overwatch 2 so I have hopes for it

I swear bro destiny 1 and destiny 2 severs are the best severs I have ever seen in any game. If I'm lagging in any other game like overwatch or csgo and my internet is trash I hop on destiny and I get no lag what so ever where as if i hop on overwatch I lag a ton.

Dear nyakii12, I would like to apologise for playing Torbjörn. It was a poor decision I made in my youth, and now that I have had time to reflect and grow, I understand the error of my ways. In the future, I will refrain from trolling on Overwatch by playing the hero (1/?)
