    Oh wow, Overwatch doesn't have support for ultrawide monitors At least my GTX 1060 won't be a problem at 1440p

  • BurtonGuster__ Justin M.I. Wyatt (@BurtonGuster__) reported

    Playing ranked support on Overwatch feels like working customer service.

  • BotWithOpinions Video Game Opinion Bot (@BotWithOpinions) reported

    Many R.C. Pro-Am games are terrible but most of them would be lazy if they had a kitty, Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle, and taser

    @TherealmoneyND @v_366169787 So I guess the next cod,crash, spyro, perfect dark, wow, overwatch will all count even they might have been in the works before Microsoft acquired those companies.

  • Alpha_C3ph Ryan Granquist (@Alpha_C3ph) reported

    @chaddahsmist @OWAnonymous_ Because the game doesn’t mean anything in the grand scheme of things, if you’re going that far over Overwatch than the real world is going to be brutal. Its not a problem with empathy at that point, people don’t play games for the same reasons and some just play to blow off steam

  • MaridonGaming Maridon (@MaridonGaming) reported

    You know @Blizzard_Ent really dgaf anymore when the friends list glitch is still ongoing weeks and weeks later. Why couldn't a better company have Overwatch?

  • lilnekogirlvr lilnekogirlvr🐱 🔞 (@lilnekogirlvr) reported

    If overwatch disconnects me one more time I will disconnect that game from my drive I swear #gamergirl #gaming

  • Arsynyst_ Arsynyst (@Arsynyst_) reported

    @WarnTV My problem with Overwatch is I solo queue on Console and it's like the equivalent of betting it all on Black, but the outcome is somehow ******* Pink.

  • bluntzeraa bluntzera (@bluntzeraa) reported

    @CSGO vac when? overwatch for dangerzone when? Maybe time to remove ranking from dangerzone, it has become this nightmare every single day for the entire day TONS of cheaters, REPORTING IS NOT WORKING NEITHER IS VAC!

  • DavidThegrange David Langfield (@DavidThegrange) reported

    @CaptainCanola @burgess_ag Trouble is no Overwatch nearby

  • oopwes oopwes (@oopwes) reported

    i am less than 100 of those purple overwatch point thingies away from getting my next golden gun, the issue is that i have to play overwatch

  • secretanjouu anjouu (@secretanjouu) reported

    i feel like every game that has characters like valo apex overwatch were all better when they didnt have 100 different characters with 1000 different abilites that can crash the server if used at the same time

  • Jickboi308 Jickboi308 😎👌 (@Jickboi308) reported

    @mazmations @Saturn08996235 @OWAnonymous_ In handheld it’s not the worst but it definitely isn’t amazing either until you get used to it or find the best way to work with it. but I definitely prefer docked gyro in overwatch, unlikely to have my joycons disconnect mid match because they slid a bit while docked.

  • WolfieDamn Wolfie (@WolfieDamn) reported

    @UserDeport CGL and Overwatch arent worth the trouble, even more so when everyone is the biggest scumbag known to history

  • enrageful EnragefulEric/EnragefulTriceratops (@enrageful) reported

    @tonygoldmark I had no clue about Bobby Driscoll until everyone brought it up. It’s just like the McCree/Cassidy thing with Overwatch. While it’s messed up, wouldn’t Disney themselves be the issue for cutting Bobby’s contract then using Peter Pan in other mediums for decades later?

  • lemonvulpix aj (@lemonvulpix) reported

    i am addicted to overwatch but the problem is that i'm really really really bad at overwatch

  • spookyDoomz spóòkyDoomz (@spookyDoomz) reported

    @SoupyFPS It is truth and it’s sad :( I’ll play cod fortnite or overwatch at 120 no problem but nope not apex

  • WagenerKyle1 Kayu (@WagenerKyle1) reported

    @PlayOverwatch PLEASE START BANNING SMURFS! There should not be a 4800 in a bronze game. This is why Overwatch 2 won't make it off the ground and it'll die before it's released. Fix your current game before ruining another one with your **** "skill based matchmaking"

  • LukeAndrewMason Luke Mason 🎙️ (@LukeAndrewMason) reported

    Overwatch is still a broken mess, in case anyone was wondering. Just a bloated corpse of a game complete with flip-a-coin matchmaking, awful balance, and a fundamentally flawed competitive mode.

  • Sparkle_Emotion Sparkle ✨ (@Sparkle_Emotion) reported

    Anyone else having issues with Moira’s healing in #Overwatch yellow isn’t working no matter how much energy I drain.

  • Capitangeeky Capitangeeky (@Capitangeeky) reported

    @Qwik Overwatch 2 has no reason to exist. Blizzard killed their own live service and now wants more money for overwatch 1.1

  • kingkokonome Kingkokonome (@kingkokonome) reported

    It's really sad that still after years of playing #Overwatch the player base still fights each other instead of @Blizzard_Ent. The matchmaking and ranking are broken. Alt accounts do not help it and they can easily fix it with limiting comp play with Mac addresses. #gamers #game

  • WarnTV Warn (@WarnTV) reported

    @Ghosttycros__OW I’ll fix Overwatch 2

  • SparksofTiLight 🔪 Ti Himiko! 🩸 (@SparksofTiLight) reported

    I slept for 2 hours and got woken up at 7 am to help my grandma fix her phone. Took 26 minutes to fix and couldn’t go back to sleep so I chose violence and played overwatch for a few rounds. Now I’m going out for a bit so when I get back I’m definitely going back to bed.

  • ChickyyNuggyy justin (@ChickyyNuggyy) reported

    I remember a few years ago someone I was friends with and I were playing comp matches in overwatch but her toxic ex joined that she had just broken up with, and we kicked him but he joined again right as we found a match so it put him with us he kept saying "you did this to —
