I just started playing & I think I know how to fix your game. Fortunately you're no Valorant & Unfortunately your characters aren't as cool as the ones on Overwatch. Possibly a revamp on the mechanics & abilities of the game could make it more attractive. @PaladinsGame

People who DDOS/use stressers on Overwatch are total losers. I can’t play 3 games of comp without having to unplug my router.

I get pretty awful Rubberbanding when playing Overwatch. I feel like it may be my internet connection but I'm wondering if there's any other issues it could be? I'm connected by ethernet cable.

@M0xxLL @CEOofYOSHAAA @OWAnonymous_ Rank doesn’t mean a lack of understanding, and in fact, it doesn’t mean ANYTHING in a game that’s as horribly unmoderated as Overwatch! Sure, I’ll concede that you’ve played her, but that doesn’t mean you can claim she’s broken, especially using goats as an example.

@shanejblair At least they aren't Ubisoft - I love AC but I know every new AC will have some sort of bug in it... Overwatch had balance problems but no actual game bugs.

i don't think the valorant meta is developed enough to justify 6-man rosters yet this was a problem in the beginning of overwatch as well. learning how to effectively use subs was something that took coaches YEARS to understand in that game

@PlayOverwatch Please, pleaseee fix Overwatch on Switch, the sound bug really messes up my ears and the massive fps drops that parchimarchi update brought are unmanageable... before they were ok but now they are very annoying i can’t even aim at all

@NomRandom @JavaadWALRUS @OWAnonymous_ Yes. Keywords are meant to be hashtagged and just coz I already hashtagged a keyword doesn't mean I shouldn't be doing it again. Why do you have a problem with my hashtags anyway? Are you trying to change the subject coz you don't wanna admit that #Overwatch pioneered it all? 🤨

@SamuraiZane @VChidor @TPaoIucci If you get pissed off while playing #Overwatch, you are the problem and not the game itself. Don't play a team-based game if you don't wanna play as a team.

@BlizzardCS hello I've been having issues on PS4 with overwatch "applying an update" and then I get booted from the game, just got a suspension and Sr loss now

@MKViableManatee Simple fix is to have the game run though a client, there is a reason overwatch never had that many cheaters. Run the game through a client and have programs scanned before play, not as bad as kernal, but just have certian programs allowed and others blocked.

I have been flip-flopping on the idea of buying Overwatch 2 (when it releases) because of the whole Hong Kong issue over a year ago, but now with the way they are treating their employees I am done, done. Not a dime more to Activision/Blizzard.

@BulmaBunnyGirl I've never played Overwatch but I've seen enough memes to know what's going on. There's 1 key problem with the game: severe lack of the Chazz!

@BlizzardCS Hi, I’m having an issue when I que for the tank role in competitive overwatch. I have one placement left that I never did, and whenever I que, it keeps saying “applying update.* Then the screen goes red, and I get banned for an hour.

@crablexd @Hazza_RL No problem! Sounds like it's an issue with him and Overwatch judging off of a comment I saw from someone else. Doesn't seem like a great person in general to be honest.

@SbmmWarzone @Activision Activision won't reach out ... you guys got the same issue with the one's running overwatch. the fact that you offer a paid service became a red flag for them.

@PlayOverwatch Can you guys please lower resolution on switch (while docked) or fix the horrible frame rate on it? I literally only play on handheld because it's unplayable while docked. #overwatch #NintendoSwitch
