    @drdisrespect what are your thoughts on battleborn? it got turned off a few months ago but with all the overwatch/paladins issues, im realy getting a craving to play it again

  • Jon_4L ✡Jon *The World Is Jew-Hating* Forel ✡ (@Jon_4L) reported from Torrance, California

    @ArimiaDev Exactly. And this is a problem plenty of people have in any industry. One thing that makes it worse is when fans start the comparisons. Someone wrote a whole article saying basically "stop calling Gundam Evolution 'Overwatch but Gundam'" because that's how prevalent it is for

  • NiftyHere NiftyHere (@NiftyHere) reported

    Am I the only one that can’t spectate the person that just killed me in Overwatch? Is it a bug or is it something I can fix in my setting or..? I was just playing Brigette and a Hog hooked me through it so I wanted to see the replay through his perspective and instead I spectated

  • Dhuggzthedon Dhuggzz (@Dhuggzthedon) reported

    @ConorThomas_13 @DaniaDuran follow danieldon i got a question about the overwatch problem when it gives that error code im having the same problem and i wanna know if you fixed it if so how?

  • June3rd_ Just Smile :) (@June3rd_) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Don't kid yourself. The only reason we needed role queue is because brig literally broke overwatch. She destroyed any meta involving dps. This resulted the in the most boring comp, GOATS, which they needed to fix somehow, but the damage had already been done. Role queue was made.

  • WorstSombra Mightyy (@WorstSombra) reported

    @RedshellOW If they have new technoligy in overwatch 2 for the sequal and its not in Overwatch 1 it would have to be moved over from the branch and would create alot of issues, basically double the work. While It's possible It's a headache from a technical standpoint.

  • chriswhoisgreat chrisisgr8 CAST HOUR⏩ (@chriswhoisgreat) reported

    @squijid Overwatch was the only multiplayer game where they balanced the game to be fun, whereas other multiplayers I've played seemed content with keeping broken or unfun mechanics if they could "be dealt with"

  • honter_bunposts hunter (🐇) (@honter_bunposts) reported

    @FUNKePills @closedcaskett Literally I think the biggest issue with Overwatch's lore is that the game ITSELF isn't canon The lore is 100% disconnected from the pvp in every way except a few voice lines

  • azrialgray RiouleThebeats (@azrialgray) reported

    @Respawn @PlayApex Ok im not sure if its my internet or my Xbox but every sense the new season and you adding an extra to cross play im lagging hard. Even in overwatch ever since they added cross play I can't even play comp

  • Daniel72156729 Daniel (@Daniel72156729) reported

    @hexagrams I don't think people realize that Blizzard doesn't care about Overwatch. 15 min DPS queues, low quality matches, stupidly broken heroes, dumb patches that don't make a difference, barely any content.

  • HighNoonie Noonie (@HighNoonie) reported

    i will fix overwatch.

  • FredCasden Fred Casden (@FredCasden) reported

    Is it wrong that in Overwatch as of late I've gotten really good of getting myself out of trouble as Dva because of the often-questionable decisions the randoms I get stuck with make?

  • Zanyard_ CC | Zanyard (@Zanyard_) reported

    You can Tell Overwatch is in desperate need of money because of 2xp on The anniversary in hopes of selling smurf accounts (which is why they havent addressed the smurfing issue btw) and re-releasing the mvp skins.

  • kukamaca2 kukamaca (@kukamaca2) reported

    @ChampagneChino @Activision @RavenSoftware Yea for me if they don’t fix anything when I get back on games it’s going to end up just being apex , battlefield , overwatch. If I end up getting a piece probably valorant

  • CraigArtasin 💚🧡Craig🧡💚 (@CraigArtasin) reported

    playing overwatch quick play. our team is destroying... suddenly i lag and DC... I have amazing internet... so I know someone on the enemy team got so triggered they had to cheat and DDoS me lmao. sad to see in a mfing qp game.

  • NE0NB1K NE0N👁‍🗨 (@NE0NB1K) reported

    Apex has the overwatch problem and it sucks sometimes

  • Paracelsus Para (@Paracelsus) reported

    also imagine admitting that you are someone who can be potentially distracted from real issues by **OVERWATCH 2 NEWS**, isn’t that just so pathetic majshshs

  • vilevalentine 🖤 (@vilevalentine) reported

    not my overwatch disk being scratched and not working 😭

  • Bflat_collin collin (@Bflat_collin) reported

    been playing tf2 and overwatch a bit lately and honestly, if tf2 didnt have such a bad bot problem, it would be the better game by so far really hope overwatch 2 can copy the way the source engine handles movement mechanics like air strafing a bit better, also **** role queue

  • f0ggy_y f0ggy (@f0ggy_y) reported

    @Frank_Supercell Blizzard is falling apart, not surprised about this. They got bigger problems. I believe that they're really behind on the table with Overwatch 2. They need to rework the game completely. I think 6 people are way too many to maintain. Considering they also have coaches/analysts..

  • kenichigaming PinkBerry (@kenichigaming) reported

    Yo got a four elim on overwatch last night but before I could record it I lagged out and lost the file. My friend @allcoldinside will tell you the same thing T-Mobile fix your **** dude

  • SmokeKaon The Gorilla (@SmokeKaon) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ The issue with Open Queue is that it doesn't feel like an official competitive mode. And so people don't take it seriously. The most toxic players of overwatch hang up there.

  • StanVioletE hannah (@StanVioletE) reported

    overwatch probably is the most consumer friendly live service game on the market i really hope overwatch 2 doesn’t mess that up but i know they will

  • UnaRiggsEN Captain Una Riggs ⚓ EN Vtuber (@UnaRiggsEN) reported

    Looks like I'll be streaming in about 20 minutes on twitch! Not entirely sure what we'll be playing it (Though it might be Overwatch if you don't have an issue with that)

  • SeraphimKitsune DeAndrew Dillard (@SeraphimKitsune) reported

    @Hcpeful_ The issue with Overwatch imo, were the videos. In the beginning it felt like a huge build up and teaser for content we were never going to get. Each cinematic felt like it was building up to a movie or playable content/more events but all that dried up.

  • cookie_kat14 🏳️‍⚧️Cookie Kat (Tsuyu Asui Simp)🍪🐈 (@cookie_kat14) reported

    @PotatoCouch6 This service was said to be the casual mode killer (Casual mode is the default way to play tf2) because it had no bots, but the fact that it said that made it even more apparent that they didnt realize TF2 is so much more different compared to CSGO or Overwatch, since their wa-

  • Reaperzhusband CJ🌿 (@Reaperzhusband) reported

    This game is literally but refuge from overwatch bc I can't find myself enjoying playing it anymore and I'd hate to see the same problems continue with apex 😔

  • Renko_OW Renko (@Renko_OW) reported

    Lets fix this for Overwatch 2 @PlayOverwatch @BarackObama @Chris

    { * would anyone want to help me admin/mod an overwatch ic && ooc group chat? &&, yes, duplicates are most welcomed. i only ask that you're over 18, or 20 to avoid problems with minors.

  • cheetahcheza Cheza (@cheetahcheza) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ The problem was that everyone would 5 stack dps and suck at it and refuse to switch, so you’re left to just lose. If you have a group of reliable people, yes, I’d love no role queue. But randos? The dumbest people in Overwatch if it’s left up to them.
