  About to go to target to spend $60 that I don’t have on an Xbox controller to see if the issue with my overwatch game is fixed by getting a new one.

  @BlizzardCS Hello I'm having issues with Overwatch 2 I keep getting a "Failed to Connect to Server" it's happened multiple times and I'm hardwired to my console it's gotten to the point where I got banned from Season 16 I'm not sure why that happens but would @PlayOverwatch look into it plz.

  @SkywardPlate @ThelVanDamne @HerosDr34m Req packs which affected one gamemode only in the halo community yall blame the devs for people this **** in but cod was doing it and Overwatch and none of the fans from those games blame the game for it. It was literally industry standard and regardless halo 5 was live service.

  @whimsyuri most sane reaction to overwatch not working:

  @Gracellynn6 @Vodible @MarvelRivals Agreed. Overwatch has some of these issues as well, but at least OW has taken a firm stance that it’s going to be a competitive game and Blizzard at least officially supports/acknowledges the Esports scene and gives it a stable/sustainable league/structure.

  @bnpar26 @GagasLeftT0e It is a problem. DVA has been broken since the start of overwatch. She still is, she is after Freja the most banned tank in higher ranks

  @PlayOverwatch Please fix overwatch 2 for the Nintendo switch 2

  @Coach_Spilo why are you trying to defend him while acknowledging that he has bigoted views? seems like there is a big issue with overwatch content creators/pro players ignoring that people like awkward, dafran and now gamin4hope are extremely hateful people, especially towards minorities.

  See the issue with wow currently is that it was originally designed to be tf2 but over time has become overwatch, and no matter what version of the game you try to launch the community only wants overwatch

  @Greenpig117 >overwatch players came over Bro we were there day 1😭😭😭 And ow players knew where problems might appear and were right. I want rivals to succeed long term but holy ****, not with this attitude

  i want to make a big callout post about the overwatch pride not being available in certain countries while it's there in other games but i fear it won't get the attention of people beacuse most can access it without any problem...

  @j_step21 Hot take, but Concord wasn't 'terrible' as a game. The issue was, it was just Overwatch but slower. The lore was pretty decent, and it seems someone put effort into that. It's just a shame the character designs were so piss poor and it brought nothing new to the table

  @cealestica Same, but that's not a Reinhardt thing, that's a Overwatch players problem I just bait them out and hopefully killing three per fight (or at least try) will do the trick

  Is overwatch broken or is my game broken ??

  @ShitpostRock Blizzard, it's not even close. From Warcraft 3 to current WoW... From Diablo 2 to Diablo 4 VoH... From Overwatch to the many broken promises of OW2...

  Overwatch need to stop giving me 200 ping when im the only ***** up in my house. i get better ping when all the tvs is on this **** is stupid @PlayOverwatch @jeffkaplan Fix my **** **** *****

  @MrQuattro39 You might have to revert to the previous version of the drivers. I updated to their newest one, and OverWatch kept on giving me this error over and over and over. I rolled back my update, and the issue hasn't happened since

  @KingKaiCUCOO @RivalsLeaks personally it feels bad to play compared to Overwatch (let’s say it’s a direct competitor), maybe cause it’s 3rd person or cause of the performance issues but it does not play anywhere near as smooth as Overwatch does

  @xia0ming56 Problem is it China dev game and they don’t do Pride Month (only overwatch does) But if they want Pride so there rainbow Groot with rainbow emote lol

  @CounterStrike RIP Dangerzone RIP Operations RIP 128 tick RIP Flying Scoutsman RIP Overwatch RIP stable frametimes and latency RIP Achievements RIP distinct CS look, now replaced by soulless comic style Fix the missing content, hitreg and cheater pandemic, then we can talk.

  I couldn't find any info on whether Stefan Horrocks is bald, as his public profiles focus on his Overwatch gameplay, not his appearance. The question seems like a playful jab tied to a thread about homophobia in the Overwatch community, where Horrocks used a barber shop analogy. There's no evidence to confirm his baldness, so it's likely just banter. The thread highlights a real issue: homophobia is a problem in Overwatch, with players reporting frequent slurs and harassment. Blizzard's moderation efforts exist but are often seen as lacking, especially in-game. Better community standards could help.

  @tazalotl1981 @NigelMcKinney Most of the time it's not possible to vet people properly, so a stringent overwatch of these people needs to be implemented, if they want to enter they should have no problem giving finger print and DNA samples

  @EXCELSlOR_ Sounds stupid, but Lucio from Overwatch or Doomfist, there was a rumors way back about OW coming to smash, but after like some Hong Kong issue it soured the water

  Cyberpunk 2077's glitchfest launch aged better than Overwatch's desperate microtransactions—I'll take neon bugs & broken NPCs over Blizzard greed any day. Gaming's tragically poetic fall. #HotTake

  I haven't backed out of any Stadium game on purpose - it's been driver crashes and me trying to figure out the problem and now I'm on a 1 hour suspension. I couldn't even rejoin my game when I IMMEDIATELY relaunched Overwatch.
