  • MrDream923 Mr. Dream923 (@MrDream923) reported

    @bkbriggs324 BTW Overwatch 2 is gonna change a lot of stuff so who knows if they will fix the game by only letting you play 1 tank. I think? it's a step in the right direction.

  • DevonVoixVO Devon Voix (@DevonVoixVO) reported

    After seeing some of the replies, I'm starting to think this is a Console Overwatch issue, not so much a PC issue.

  • BrndOlivia Olivia (comissions open) (@BrndOlivia) reported

    @javalb_ Gameplay is a bit like overwatch, it's lagging sometimes but overall it's good for the prize

  • iwaihu Gamer BF Material (@iwaihu) reported

    Horizon's ult is so ******* dumb. Not broken, but dumb. If I wanna get sucked I would play Zarya on Overwatch.

  • RTheboss30 Hypersonic30 (@RTheboss30) reported

    Idk who needs to hear this but overwatch 2 being 5v5 won't fix queue times like at all. Tank queue times will still be faster than dps queue times & not alot of people are willing to be the only tank on the team. Plus it would make playing tank even more toxic.

  • TakeTackToe Joe Jack Jake (@TakeTackToe) reported

    My problem with alot of these redesigns of western AAA game protagonists is that both the original and "new" designs are just two ends of the spectrum in terms of focus-tested design philosophies (ex. TLOU vs Overwatch).

  • yoyokeis 𝗬𝗢𝗬𝗢 (@yoyokeis) reported

    @Advyyth dont get me wrong but twitch viewership isn't that important. Take a game like overwatch, **** has like 20k but still has lots of people playing. That game has much broken things too.

  • LiftedyourFACE Lifted (@LiftedyourFACE) reported

    @thephunkyjedi @YourOverwatchYT 1) That's the joke. 2) Maybe it's my opinion, but it's also the opinion of a lot of people considering apex has more players. I love overwatch, but it doesn't help the game to ignore its problems.

  • P3achsoda22 Peach | Mercy gold gun era ✨ (@P3achsoda22) reported

    Oh my ******* god I hate competitive mode so ******* much I was at 1790 and now I’m at 1689 FIX YOUR ******* PLACEMENTS OVERWATCH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

  • vibingabe jaive (@vibingabe) reported

    Honestly, I didn't have any ping-related problems with Overwatch until I got back home, in which case 100ms hits different compared to 44ms min/54ms max (to Chicago/ORD). Valorant is almost the same, but with half the latency (to Miami).

  • Alchemister5 Jason Baker (@Alchemister5) reported

    I see the Valorant subreddit suffers from the same issue as Overwatch. I wanted to see if any clips or excitement from the event made it off the @VALORANTComp reddit. Nope. JohnySilvers 3K front page.

  • NamesDeadCH NamesDead (@NamesDeadCH) reported

    @AskPlayStation Hi! I just reintalled overwatch origins edition and it displays a message: "Sorry, The Overwatch free trial is not available at this time." I bought the game digitally and dont know how to fix it. Thanks!

  • ThisIsITalk I Talk (@ThisIsITalk) reported

    @ShiinaBR NHL, MLB, WWE, Twisted Metal, Rogue Company, Overwatch, Teen Titans, Crash Bandicoot, etc.

  • TauntedByDemons TauntedByDemons (@TauntedByDemons) reported

    Hopefully OW2 has better matchmaking, i feel like I have to literally carry the entire team on my back consistently or I'm not going to win. It's very draining, I just want to climb in comp but I can cause it's broken. #Overwatch

  • nunusaidquacc 𝐣Δ𝓝 (@nunusaidquacc) reported

    @macawcaw123 @nicisbr Look at overwatch, everybody plays dps so you wait 10-20 minutes for a dps game. Would be the same problem with midlane.

  • Zefram_ Zefram Phan 🕒 (@Zefram_) reported

    @harbleuOW I used this service and went from iron rank in Valorant to top 500 in Overwatch.

  • Ebowed_Cheese ElbowedCheese30 (@Ebowed_Cheese) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Problem Found - Bug - (Gamemode) A.i Training - Showing Incorrect Wording - (Example) Presses Hard or Medium Mode Goes into Death Match or Practice Range - Says "Easy" instead #Overwatch

  • FernWillGrow crystal metheny (@FernWillGrow) reported

    @WestBrook___ @Heliotid3 @OWAnonymous_ tbh I think pick bans will always just be a bandaid fix for the more broad, deeply rooted balance issues in the game. sure it might work sometimes for 1 tricks and other stuff but like... it seems like a cheap answer to only a few of the countless issues overwatch has.

  • raine_eera Raine Eera (@raine_eera) reported

    it would be really cool to play and obsess over Overwatch but the problem is you can't get a game within 5 minutes, it takes 14

  • TheExhaustedLad Hayden Boone (@TheExhaustedLad) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Bruh on PC you gotta buy a new copy of OW to smurf you think they’ll care spending like 10$ over the 10-30$ game price? Overwatch will most likely be cross play very soon so this ain’t one systems problem it’s everyone’s.

  • Lainfan69 Mio?Mio.Mio!♥ (listening to in a city that reads) (@Lainfan69) reported

    @Joltao All they do Is sit on they chair PLAY OVERWATCH ALL DAY And then they just complain about wow widow broken baptiste broken Like smh

  • OWLinesBot Overwatch Lines Bot (@OWLinesBot) reported

    Overwatch... trouble keeping up?

  • Furtive_Raccoon furtive (@Furtive_Raccoon) reported

    @Liefx @DudeWithNose_RL @SpacemanSR VALORANT is like session jazz compared to Overwatch's visual noise. Can't tell you that you should like it, but VALORANT will not have the same problems as OW.

  • AtlasXIV Fear the Reaper (@AtlasXIV) reported

    Seems I'm still having overheating issues, particularly when I'm running something heavy like Overwatch. I need to find a better CPU fan, but part of me just wants to overhaul this whole rig altogether.

  • Fazigail1 Fazigail (@Fazigail1) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ I see alot of comments complaining that @/PlayOverwatch "wont do anything" about the mkn issue on console. The truth is they can't. Blizzard/Overwatch discourages the use of mnk, but since the software is supported by PS&Xbox they can't do anything

  • PearlPique Pearl's Pique (@PearlPique) reported

    Asked my partner their thoughts on #Overwatch , as they aren't as into it as me. They say "The idea, characters and world is interesting but Hammond and Winston ruin it. They undermine any serious tones, beats or issues raised in the story. They are like bad eps of a good show."

  • CTRDoesStuff Chris (@CTRDoesStuff) reported

    I find it amazing that valorant players can excuse the judge but when they played overwatch they said that echo is a broken character. echo takes some skill, the judge does not.

  • OfficialXandr_ Xandr (@OfficialXandr_) reported

    So anyone experiencing extensive lag on #Overwatch for #NintendoSwitch ? Like, there's horrible FPS drops and now this? Fix it, Jesus. @PlayOverwatch

  • BlizzardAccount Blizzard Account Support (@BlizzardAccount) reported

    @ian_c22 Ok, first of all this isn’t a real problem. You’ve created this rule set in your head—there are no rules in Overwatch to directly follow. There objectives, not rules. Secondly, have you tried not being bad at the game? Sometimes that helps!

  • TrueDragonWitch Jeanne D'Arc (@TrueDragonWitch) reported

    You know it's going to be a good day when you rip on some random about video game heroes that are "broken" yet are easily countered. Overwatch ain't a hard game, just get good.
