@sqwashy_ The problem is that overwatch only counts time when the round is started. It doesn’t even count in between rounds. So if u ask blizzard around 1.7k hours but if it counter like csgo probably 2,5k

(2/2) I would love to see some sort of overwatch system similar to how CS did. Where selected members of the community can skim through these reports and issue the necessary consequence to offenders. I myself would love to do it, and would happily do it for free. Others would too

@OWAnonymous_ a lot of the issues with current overwatch could have been addressed before jumping to removing a player as their only solution don’t want double shield anymore? try reworking sigma so he doesn’t have one anymore + remove the giant shield as symmetra’s ult and return shield gen

i’m having trouble actually finding a game to actually play and enjoy because i still enjoy Overwatch and Cold War, but without people to play with, it gets boring after awhile. so unless i have people to play with on those, what other games do y’all recommend?

if it wasn't for diablo 2 resurrected, blizzard would be in big trouble. I don't even think overwatch 2 will be finished with the amount of employees leaving.

@cosmiqz See the problem with that statement is i can’t tell if it is sarcasm because of the amount of time you’ve put into overwatch

@JeffGrubb Wowww. I guess it was wrong of me to expect all the inclusivity lip service from Overwatch’s lore to amount to anything other than surface level Disney BS in the board room.

@CaseyExplosion This is exactly what I realized, both with Overwatch and Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. I spent money on both of those games at times but not on any kind of regular basis. The real problem was that both manipulated me into playing them in unhealthy ways to try to get content.

Could blizzard like actually fix their **** so I can play overwatch competitive without the overwatch servers themselves ******* booting me off the game then banning me for x amount of time because their game doesn't work???? This is a daily thing, multiple times a day.

Many Mortal Kombat games are interesting but most of them would be dated if they had a Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle, doggy, and kitty

Apparently OW vc is broken. Best time to play @overwatch imo. Nobody is ever on comms and it doesn't matter. Also, I only go in there to hear the entertaining toxicity.

Yes this is an overwatch account but I gotta rant The Dear Evan Hanson movie is the wort movie I have seen in a long time. Ignoring the obvious issue of Ben Platt this movie ruins what makes the musical so so. They cut the one song where Evan gets called out 1/2

I like how instead of like working properly on overwatch to stop it from dying they instead release occasional deathmatch maps and expect that to fix the game for them

The devs have gold in their hands and they don't even realize it and it makes me sad. If only they did something to fix this game it would be the best fps on the market imo. Just hope Overwatch 2 somehow revives Overwatch for the pvp side cuz after all it's what attracts people.

@BlizzardCS Hi I have been having continuous issues on Overwatch. When trying to play competitive games, I play for a bit and then get sent back to the main menu due to "unexpected server error" it's happened at least 5 times today. Is there a reason for this? I have great wifi

@ScorpDK It’s the same bullshit they’re pulling in Overwatch wanting to change McCree’s name. Activision-Blizzard is beyond pathetic to want brownie points than to actually do something to fix their company’s problems

Why does overwatch force me to disconnect? My internet is literally fine, my ping is low at 20, I saw the red warning, I do a rocket jump, the response was instant, so it was connecting just fine, why did it force me to disconnect?

@PlayOverwatch Could you guys maybe give us a last actual playable map for Overwatch 1? Horizon Lunar Colony & Paris were abominations that weren't even allowed in OW League. If you get them in Quickplay, everybody simply leaves. Cooperate problems aside, it's the least we could ask for.

Bastion might have been broken when overwatch first launched but his kit made sense as a cohesive thing I have no idea what role this character now plays

@leighplayssims2 @pleasantsims install smooth patch, edit the graphics rules file and install Nraas overwatch and error trap mods, these will help to fix the lag

If Actiblizz gets sued into oblivion and they go under then I need to do what I can to buy Crash Bandicoot. We need to save him from them. Junkrat and Roadhog too. Not all of Overwatch, I have no use for it. But those boys need their own franchise and I will give it to them.
