  • Caspr2K casper~! (@Caspr2K) reported

    was causing issues in overwatch and someone decided to say "i don't need a thirsty boy like you when i have my man's bbc" ****** need help

  • AramyxDraws Aramyx Draws Lewds (@AramyxDraws) reported

    It's sad to see Overwatch getting as Roasted as WoW nowadays and they don't even need the Blizzard company issues to get so roasted lmao. Worse part is I wouldn't even defend OW anymore after their asinine handling of the IP the last months.

  • pampurins ━ ♡ pampurin (@pampurins) reported

    True that if Lego cuts ties with Blizzard bc of all the issues, Goodsmile might too and we will not have anymore Overwatch nendoroids or figmas, Reinhardt was the last one and it didn't really sell as much.

  • FudgieFreeze I AM ESPORTS ⌨️🖲 (@FudgieFreeze) reported

    [i actually use an overwatch mug at work just so if it gets broken i wont get mad but i ain't letting people know that lmao]

  • Coconut0W Coconut (@Coconut0W) reported

    Internet get fixed tomorrow I can finally play overwatch for 8 hours straight without any problems 🙏

  • jannadotwav fun times ー (@jannadotwav) reported

    ++ it was something new to me besides always playing elsword, overwatch, and league. but there's so many issues i have with the game as of now. like dbd is unplayable with this new ranking system so i have to queue with a friend or a full squad to even enjoy the game ++

  • fixing_stupid7 Fixing stupid (@fixing_stupid7) reported

    Anybody else mic not working on overwatch?

  • XACTIC_Valor patrick lovie (@XACTIC_Valor) reported

    @kandyrew @Big_E This would bring in soooo many people tho. Lot more cod and overwatch players. It would help with this issue

  • 2and2equals5 Marie Euler (@2and2equals5) reported

    @SamitoFPS If the Overwatch team had nothing to do with the problems why was one of the heroes named after someone who was a part of the problems??

  • sr_kiiva Subliminal Message Girl from Spongebob (@sr_kiiva) reported

    Overwatch won't stop lagging

  • ow_nebula Nebula (@ow_nebula) reported

    @verge This sucks, I wish Jeff didn’t leave, the Overwatch team was the only one who didn’t have any real problems with the lawsuits because of Jeff.

  • legacian Legacian (@legacian) reported

    @GameSpot Underlying anger problems. Has nothing to do with overwatch or being gay. Could've been any argument or any couple. The tragic part is that they were together for 10 years. I can only imagine what happened over those 10 years to lead to this.

  • astruhchan Serena ♡ (@astruhchan) reported

    if respawn isn’t careful, apex will suffer from the overwatch problem 😬😬😬

  • dshafik Davey Shafik 🦁🐉🏳️‍🌈 (@dshafik) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @DarkHorseComics how come the Overwatch Anthology: Expanded Edition, printed in December doesn't reflect the Cassidy name change. This was the perfect opportunity to fix it in print. Disappointing.

  • honeymellilla honeymellilla (@honeymellilla) reported

    @PlayVALORANT i dont think the fix is disabling the practice range/customs because your servers are ****, i think the solution is shutting down the game for maintenance and fixing your ****** servers. not even blizzard would close the overwatch practice range or custom games lmao

  • complete_phased James Beasley (@complete_phased) reported

    People blame Battlefront 2 for the whole Lootbox problem but lets not forget when Overwatch first came out everyone's YT feed was FLOODED with opening videos. Content Creators were spending thousands on lootboxes and a majority of people ate that **** up.

  • zidise ran (@zidise) reported

    Miskas like. hes such an ******* in a good way in like he olays valorant until 6 am every night and thats where all his issues come from hes like so sleep deprived from insomnia and overwatch or whatever that he hallucinates his own dead mom in the hallway and it ruins his mood

  • subkittenboy Sammy ʕ ꈍᴥꈍʔ (@subkittenboy) reported

    @buttplugio @kusakyuu I tried the SDT one and Overwatch ones too! Only problem I had was websocket 12345 was in use by another program and took me a while to figure out which one! Ended up being leapmotion

  • BrandonCaples Brandon (@BrandonCaples) reported

    @madsiesss @Mx51705 @PlsGiveOW2 If you’re responsible for the massive success that was overwatch, then it wouldn’t be hard. If they love their IP and want to work for a ****** company that doesn’t care about them, then that’s their problem. If people want to support the individuals fine, but don’t play or pay.

  • complete_phased James Beasley (@complete_phased) reported

    Yes Im still upset about how shafted Battleborn got. Yeah it had its problems but it could have been something cool. What happened? Well Blizzard happened. They picked the exact day Battleborn launched to release the public beta for Overwatch. This basically killed all hype.

  • jordon_af bone lounge (@jordon_af) reported

    Overwatch is so weird. I'll get 5 losses in a row because my team is obviously disorganized and is unsure how to fix it. But then I'll get a random tank that is in upper bracket for damage and just carries ******** out of us. I don't understand lmao

  • BenjiSales Benji-Sales (@BenjiSales) reported

    @PaulTassi Yeah abandoning Overwatch 1 to make a sequel instead of just continuing to support and make OW1 a long term service game was a big mistake imo In April it will be 2 years since Overwatch 1 has gotten a new Hero or any meaningful new content. 2 years. They just.....killed it

  • BrayKujo Bray. (@BrayKujo) reported

    Overwatch needs to fix up their ****** game. Accidental DC's due to lag and you get suspended from comp but yet you join back and win the game. Its so ******* ****.

  • 413scod pj (@413scod) reported

    me: acab!! the police system is broken!! overwatch police skin dva: what was that me: nothin babe haha

  • NotBradley1 Not Bradley (@NotBradley1) reported

    Spot the difference "Im going to go play overwatch" "I going into mental warfare" *Hint* there isnt Sad to see this game be butchered by its balance team, the first time they change the game in ages and then fail to acknowledge the main issues with the game while breaking it too

  • TheReal_ClamBoi ClamBoi (@TheReal_ClamBoi) reported

    @PlayOverwatch hey for the past 3 days overwatch has been unplayable with the amount of lag.

  • RampItUpGaming Ramp It Up Gaming (@RampItUpGaming) reported

    Been away for almost a week and the new #overwatch season dropped and heard its all kinds of broken again... do I even do placements?

  • ZzVinniez VinnieDraw🔞 (@ZzVinniez) reported

    @Vzx80078208 Overwatch ana amari mask. Im sure u can get it fron aliexpress or fado. Just because it might end up broken like mine. But i fixed it

  • axeman__ Axe (@axeman__) reported

    @PH7RAOH that would require enough players on overwatch to cause server issues to begin with

  • HenesysPark Soundless 🐨 (@HenesysPark) reported

    @RonimoGames Make a sequel to nauts (doesn’t even have to be a moba), just do something with the IP. Or hell you could go the Overwatch 2 route and have co-op be the focus, with comp as an optional game mode. Even just a polish patch to fix the current remaining bugs would be enough.
