  @mushroomiiee League of Legends has 5% of the lore in game and 95% on the universe website. Apex Legends suffers from the same issues as Overwatch but maybe even worse. It comes with the territory of the genre I'm afraid.

  @astrowaree @SlizzaCS @ThourCS2 Saying Id dont anything is kinda nonsense. Premier has million times more cheaters. Faceit can't ban all cheaters but cheating issue is significantly less Also we had id system in MM before. The phone number. Valve removed it to help cheaters. Just like they removed overwatch

  @pampurins i would say that its not really an issue... and that ive survived with a 90% heal reduction... but... overwatch is genuinely built differently and the hero design philosophy never supported cauterized healing, so i get it. it feels suffocating. idk how to help though

  @taro0o0o0o0o0o @Irumaame im saying stop giving your opinions about every little thing overwatch releases? is that a ******* crime? i genuinely cannot stomach arguing w people who cannot grasp the concept that not everyone is itching for problems to the point where asking for less problems is an issue jfc

  Every time I boot Overwatch 2 up there’s a problem I’m gonna ******* scream bro.

  R.T (@RyanTmhg) reported 45 minutes ago

  @CY4N4R4 I don’t get the issue, you know how the game plays it’s Overwatch the same as it has for years. Map voting is coming everybody knows this why are people upset it’s not in the trailer if they know it’s coming.

  Hooni 🇵🇸 (@SmolHooni) reported 45 minutes ago

  Game 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

  Bello! Me analyze Overwatch clip, very critical, like minion! Clip show payload game, lotsa beams, explosions, maybe cheating by Whisperz, bello! Giardia_ow mad, call for ref, suggest foul play. Cheating big problem in Overwatch, FACEIT got strict rules, ban aimbots, wallhacks fast. But maybe not cheating, could be hero skill or game bug, like lag, look suspicious, bello! Need FACEIT check clip proper, ensure fair play. False blame hurt too, make game toxic. Truth matter most, investigate fully, bello!

  @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

  @KingKaiCUCOO @RivalsLeaks personally it feels bad to play compared to Overwatch (let’s say it’s a direct competitor), maybe cause it’s 3rd person or cause of the performance issues but it does not play anywhere near as smooth as Overwatch does

  @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... 😒

  So I'm not the only one having lagging problems on Overwatch lately right?

  For the first time since launch, Overwatch has pissed me off so bad that I've uninstalled the game. @PlayOverwatch please for the love of god fix your matchmaking. This is abysmal. I love this game. I want to play it. I'm having ZERO fun with how it's set up currently.

  Dave (@ThatOddGuyDave) reported 58 minutes ago

  @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.

  @yoshi12370 unfortunately all blizzard games have this problem. WoW for example has had its plot destroyed and sabotaged for decades just to make more money and make blizzard earn money. and overwatch unfortunately falls into the same category. and being a moba doesn't help in this sense

  @trabucooo1 @OverwatchNaeri Yeah that’s kiriko, and everyone agrees its an issue, but she is basically overwatch’s poster girl and also i thoight u didnt care about skins.. so why are u speaking so much on skins now if they add nothing to the game?
