The Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle in Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is a huge part of what makes the game overhyped to play

There’s this stupid glitch on overwatch when that inactive alert starts and only gives you 10 seconds to move and fight. But when I go back out of the spawn room and head back into the match, the count down still goes on until it fricking kicks me out the game and it’s stupid.

@ZvG_YT Problem is inherently the win to lose rp ratio, really not different from any competitive games like overwatch or lol or fighterz. The problem is the game has 50/50, rng mechanics that need to be addressed

@nonsenseOW @Reiner_OW Mercy is overturned, sure. Slightly. Damage amplification is insanely overtuned in Overwatch. But mercy is currently being exploited in ranked... because it's ranked. Letting 1 braindead player freely buff a smurf/carry is going to feel frustrating. Overtuned? Yes. But broken? No

@ZeddyHS Between the crazy blizzard stuff and broken quests just being out of control I stopped having fun so I stopped playing the game, I tried mercenaries for hot min but just not in the mood for it. I’m out. I use to play all blizzard games, wow, HotS, overwatch, Diablo - now nothing

@OrcusVaruna Overwatch had the exact same matchmaking issue. In fraction, pretty much every shooter I’ve played approaches matchmaking this way and I don’t get why. It’s the worst player-side experience for everyone involved.

@BlizzardCS Getting an error when trying to update Overwatch. Says We couldn't access a folder. This is usually because you're not logged in as an administrator. I just did a Diablo 3 update fine it's only affecting Overwatch.

@AboutNintendo Just burn down the company, the biggest loss will be crash I doubt many people will care that the declining COD games and overwatch 2 would be no more

@TheNCSmaster I don't think turning any overwatch characters gay/trans is gonna fix this one

@pelican_food @TheNCSmaster they cancelled the overwatch presentation till 2021 they were like "hey look 3 crash games for 79.99!" And remember Activision will use other ips to distract you from the scandals (works as people claim crash has nothing to do with blizzard despite both being owned by Activision)

@LocalMedicalGF Brats? Overwatch was filled with them until one after another he got his bil ol' hands on them. Her? Some curvy citizen medic? She'll be broken into a sow in little to no time.

@TheDStecks Damn, this thread was on point. Basically it comes down to either dedicated servers so people can manage things on thier own or community involvement. Take a game like Paladins. That should have the same issues as overwatch bit the community manager is on point.....

@TheDStecks ...not saying paladins doesn't have these issues but they're not as prevalent as something like overwatch.

Just found out it's not even my internet making me lag it's Vanguard itself lol, idk how that stuff works but I'm running 60 ping (my normal ping) in Overwatch and Sige, but as soon as I get on Vanguard I get 100+, I seriously have no idea how that works but it pisses me off

@PlayOverwatch Hey, maybe you should do something about your smurf problem. Smurfs are *****. Oh no wait, you're to busy abusing women. Forgot about that. **** your game. I hope your company burns to the ground. #overwatch

We don’t really need an Overwatch 2. Here’s a rough draft, The game can be reworked via Overwatch 1 and kept alive by being a live service game and if it people want lore then go watch “Overwatch The Animated series” pt2

@KarQGames There's a bug that happened quite a while ago. It said a game called overwatch 2 was being made. Obviously this was just a technical glitch/bug on blizzards behalf

@aidanthedestroy The characters differences is what makes it Apex just as Overwatch, but thankfully the Characters aren't Overwatch Broken. Many players still get outplayed by raw gunskill

@KurtSchlichter Great movie, but why didn't they leave an overwatch element on the Sulaco just in case things went bad. Grave tactical error on their part.

@MrSulla_ I’m really only playing RuneScape and overwatch anyways with stock **** on the side so I didn’t really think hard drive is an issue
