    @VMissingno >overwatch Found the problem

  • suikerstuiker Domien (@suikerstuiker) reported

    @complainin_dude @Pimp_CSGO You must genuinely have some brain issue. Trust Factor doesnt ban people. Trusr Factors works perfectly it puts toxic losers and cheaters in the same lobbies and sends their cases to overwatch. You should probably stop beeing a toxic **** in csgo if ur in these lobbies :)

  • Menace2Tacos Menace2Tacos (@Menace2Tacos) reported

    Overwatch 2 was broken the day it was made free to play.

  • YaOldBuddy YaOldBuddy 🍥 (@YaOldBuddy) reported

    I really want to like Overwatch... The main issue im having with it is the overall matchmaking. It takes forever to just get into an arcade game atm even if it is fully populated. Often it happens that you are being put into a game where its already ending as well.

  • MichaelG_3D Michael Guerrero (@MichaelG_3D) reported

    @fairyfayaa @RSPN_Hideouts This is so upsetting to see, overwatch has the same problem idk how these people have no sympathy after saying such terrible things :(

  • nemolee_exe nemolee.exe (@nemolee_exe) reported

    Somehow my laptop crashes everytime I play Overwatch with a clock watchdog error BS. I have tried everything. @msiUSA_Tech can you tell me what's wrong?

  • BrokennGlaz BrokenGlaz (@BrokennGlaz) reported

    @MEA_Sonic @punishedjequin @Griggity And when they do put something out, it's broken AF. Look at Overwatch "2" or Warcraft 3 Remastered for a prime example. Anything would be better than the current management in higher to be honest.

  • NeoBoneGirl #1 razor λicking himejoshi NA (@NeoBoneGirl) reported

    @leadenfist They already made a TF2 with less broken physics, it's called Overwatch and sucks ***

  • rodakscreens grouch (@rodakscreens) reported

    If crossover events become the norm in Overwatch 2, it'll be the biggest admittance of defeat. ActiBlizz can't keep up with Sweeny's online daycare service and I think that's hysterical

  • Fuhroos Sou1 (@Fuhroos) reported

    i am looking at my overwatch clips and all they are is just me pressing Q. Life of a reaper main 😭. I was a demon sojourn tho but she was broken so it doesn’t count

  • tokaidotokyo 秋山 (@tokaidotokyo) reported

    @MISOPPA44 I just hope that they'll fix **** and make game fun to play. Before, Overwatch was a good FPS, but then Blizzard killed it, and now there are not that many good shooters imo.

  • wannabe_bard7 Tyler (@wannabe_bard7) reported

    @VonClownsewitz Many thanks, I actually didn't expect a reply. I can definitely understand your feeling there, coming back online after an outage to this, and being that I'm someone who maintains it is wrong to use a militant approach (imo we need "Overwatch", not armies), this is just...

  • CROWNX13 CROWNX (@CROWNX13) reported

    @aaronkellerOW Dear aaronkeller I just want to said that competitve overwatch 2 is MISERABLE. I just cant wait no more. I know it take time to fix some stuff but pls fix the matchmaking. I am tired each day to play with silver and gold tank / dps when i am master in support.

  • ThePigeonFish PigeonFish (@ThePigeonFish) reported

    @FOSSpatents I have zero interest in CoD; haven't played WoW in over a decade; not into Overwatch; own all 3 consoles; hell, I've never even played a Crash Bandicoot game in my life. I'd still like to see the deal pass because...

  • Ohtaetae1 ♡Bunnie♡ (@Ohtaetae1) reported

    @PlayOverwatch And before anyone says I have controller drift, it’s only on overwatch and usually only when using aim in characters like Ashe and widow. My partner also has the same issue on his console and many other are also having the same issue. Plz fix!!

  • billy_the_fatty Tubby (@billy_the_fatty) reported

    @londynwithawhy @Andriatic fr? it hasn't worked for me since the launch on overwatch, I've contacted blizzard and shown them video proof of it not working and all they say is " use our forums" lmao

  • xo_diawna d!ana (@xo_diawna) reported

    ARE ALL BECAUSE IM SWEATING MY *** OFF BECAUSE 1 PERSON CANNOT PULL THEIR WEIGHT. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD OVERWATCH. PLEASE. FIX. THIS. IM STUCK IN BRONZE ELO BEACUSE MFS CANNOT PULL THEIR WEIGHT.

  • TopherTerps Mfer. Terps (@TopherTerps) reported

    @hutchthequack Yeah we will have 5 devices on, streaming tv, and I will play overwatch with no issues. Just download the app and make sure you have good visibility first. Even on crazy snow days, its 100x better than what I had.

  • WilliHyde William Hyde (@WilliHyde) reported

    Comp placement in Overwatch is broken. As a tank: 10k+ more damage then the DPS. 20+ more kills on average. Games not challenging at all. I guess I'm fine in the lower rank. Sorry for the people there with me.

  • soynoid oi 🫥 (@soynoid) reported

    Overwatch 2 has to be the most broken and unfair matchmaking system when it comes to ranked. As a diamond why am i going against diamond players but the game puts players who have zero clue what there doing on my team and i get punished for it.

  • NZudilov nikolai zudilov (@NZudilov) reported

    @OhReallyJared You're doing a stunningly mediocre job with Overwatch 2 guys. Matchmaking frustrates people to the limit, there is simply no progression and the game does not deliver either casual or hardcore gamers. BUT you have anime skins now!! This of course will fix everything.

  • ReshiRed_ ℛ𝒆𝓼𝓱𝓲ℛ𝒆𝓭🌺 (@ReshiRed_) reported

    They gotta get rid of this hyper burst healing stuff in Overwatch, it's insane how much value it gets atm. Also the mmr in both qp/comp, fix it, it's not fixed at all.

  • axirez Destined Axirez 🏵️ (@axirez) reported

    @VerMMOverdrive Im screaming cause overwatch is lagging completely at random

    ㅤ ㅤCurrently trying to collect data from the overwatch database, but an error keeps popping up. ㅤ“ くそ — Kuso.. ” (Damnit..) ㅤ

  • DS_DoggerX DoggerX, Tarnished Hunter (@DS_DoggerX) reported

    Why does overwatch keep matching me with people who have seemingly never played a single video game in their life. Dps with no kills, supports with no healing, tanks who just rush alone. PLEASE FIX THIS MATCHMAKING WTFFFF

  • Stryxus Stryxus (@Stryxus) reported

    My @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch automated unjustified suspension from the game expired and, I am still suspended. I hope @Qwik can fix all this mess when he has the powers for it.

  • FlameChico ChicoFlame (@FlameChico) reported

    Bye my overwatch is lagging so badly and I am getting penalized because of the lag making me leave games cuz I’m moving left and right violently

  • C0SMICESPORTS COSMIC (@C0SMICESPORTS) reported

    The problem with overwatch is that it's so HEAVILY team based that unless you have a decent 5-stack, the game isn't fun because you either destroy the other team or you get destroyed.

  • trexocc trexo (@trexocc) reported

    @AfraidOfMoose to me, it seems like they’re trying to pull pieces of kits and combine them into one agent which only really results in the agent being overtuned or super underwhelming. overwatch has the same problem w kiriko who is incredibly overtuned imo hopefully it’s not the same w gekko

  • XgTeddy TeddyXG🇩🇪 (@XgTeddy) reported

    overwatch2's pinging system is cancer... 9 out of 10 times when i try to ping an enemy who is flanking from behind or a sniper I get the too much messages error message, even when it's the first thing I try to ping after 2 minutes (no chatting before that) #Overwatch
