  • darthmalishi ari (@darthmalishi) reported

    Tomorrow does anyone want to play overwatch but unfair its a custom game where every character is extremely broken Join my disc if u want to its p fun the code is 6KAGSA

  • RSixbox apophis (@RSixbox) reported

    @KSR6S Would probably be an improvement, the only issue I see is that Overwatch showed that that doesn't really work that well. The only thing worse than no hb is an ash main qeuing on support because the qeue time as entry is a decade. And what role plays what ops is another debate.

  • Darkmynde Kelly (@Darkmynde) reported

    I cant believe I was up until 2:30 am playing overwatch because I got coaxed into a "just one more game" situation that lead to pure **********. I love my friends so much but god damn do I need to fix my sleep schedule

  • martinpoldma Martin Poldma (@martinpoldma) reported

    why it is so hard to create PROBLEMS: well... I have, for example, for the next 1000000 years set up to be played these computer video games: RAINBOW SIX: SIEGE; OVERWATCH; JAGGED ALLIANCE 2: WILDFIRE. it is not easy to set up something similar to this.

    @LEGDAY if you think about it harry hook is doing a good service to the overwatch community. if he ever comes to your aid it's like an emergency siren that whatever you are doing you gotta stop that ****. like a automated reality check to help people act more responsibly :)

  • Mizfitjess perpetual uwu face (@Mizfitjess) reported

    I know i shouldnt care but i know the endorsement system on overwatch is broken because 4 players on the enemy team left which resulted in the match being cancelled but, because video game, my endorsement went from 3 to 2 Cool

  • AdRicoJ Adrián Rico Jiménez (@AdRicoJ) reported

    @Rain20_Sky Kratos, Big Daddy, someone from Overwatch, ryu hayabusa, someone “tales of...", not crash

  • TPaoIucci Rascal Take My Water🐟 (@TPaoIucci) reported

    @JustNatanel I am always amazed at how unpolished League is. The biggest game in the world is more buggy, performs worse, looks worse, and breaks way more than Overwatch. Ive played league for ~ a year and the game has just broken on multiple occasions. Never once happened in my 4 years of ow

  • X22ow Xavier Diaz (@X22ow) reported

    @necros_ow I figured that’s what was going to happen. Well overwatch took 3 weeks to nerf him after he was good after a buff. Let’s go see how long it takes to fix a hero they broke even more...

  • n1ghtmare_ow n1ghtmare_ow (@n1ghtmare_ow) reported

    If you take somebody's main role then flame them for sucking on an off role, you're the problem in overwatch

  • xenkyra Xenkyra (@xenkyra) reported

    @joshm1cks @ShahZaMk talked about the lack of deep strategies with teams relying on only cracked aimers playing Reyna/Jett. With the addition of Astra where site executes become so easy I’m really afraid the game might start having the same issues that Overwatch had.

  • saintnobody saintnobody (@saintnobody) reported

    @LaurakBuzz I had the same issue with Overwatch, for the same reasons. After spending too much on loot boxes, I finally got sick of the feeling of missing out on collecting all the things because I couldn’t justify spending any more than I did on the game.

  • DeltaFireexx D 3 L T 4 (@DeltaFireexx) reported

    @OctyMatoi_ @OWAnonymous_ Trust me, i really ******* wish it wasn’t dying but ignoring the health of the game only makes it worse. I love overwatch more than any other game. I want this game to be good like it used to be but it has so many issues that are just ignored :/

  • PatrikLiba1 Patrik Liba (@PatrikLiba1) reported

    @SavixIrL If you are social and not toxic you have people to play with. Try doing it want to play solo que games playing wrong genre deal with it move on and go play overwatch/lol/any other solo q non mmorpg game. I have 0 issues playing arenas.

    @weenald3305 Go invisible a and run away from my problems (Sombra from Overwatch)

  • ThallidGaming Thallid (@ThallidGaming) reported

    @qHugzz I wish I could say all of this was unexpected but Overwatch league and some of its players have had a bit of an issue from Dreamkazper, Harryhook, Ryujehong, Sinatraa to name a few. Its sad that those with so much talent are so socially inept that they behave this way.

  • Kyrios3445 Kyrios (@Kyrios3445) reported

    @CrashBandicoot So overwatch x crash bandicoot when?

  • mikeinmarlton DogeinMarlton 🗯 (@mikeinmarlton) reported

    @trekonomics @mikeduncan I believe it’s valuable not because it solves these problems, but makes the problems able to be solved-meaning it frames our issues as is. The start Yes to have ubi we must have the other things in place-which means we have more invested in government and need to overwatch more.

  • DylanLaiine Dlaine (@DylanLaiine) reported

    So looks like Overwatch is getting a PS5/X|S upgrade sometime soon, wish I took a screenshot for evidence unless it was an error

  • sm_tfan Legend (@sm_tfan) reported

    @bug_noodle @TheIshikawaRin @Nibellion I don't care about Crash, never even played a game with him before. I'm just making fun of Battle net and Overwatch, both of which are ****.

  • CaseyExplosion Cowsey (@CaseyExplosion) reported

    Even though I didn't buy any lootboxes, I had a serious problem with Overwatch. The artificial scarcity and limited event-tied skins had me playing the game compulsively, obsessively even, far beyond the point where I had stopped enjoying it to get as many free ones as I could.

  • jordanhasbotoxo jordan (@jordanhasbotoxo) reported

    @mamabenjyfishy @Dety0 @KinguinNet maybe depends on product / key you're buying? I've bought windows 10 and recently overwatch from them and no problems

  • OWAnonymous_ Overwatch Anonymous (@OWAnonymous_) reported

    Everyone is complaining about overwatch becoming smurf city after game goes ftp, so hear me out. Right now blizz are never ever gonna fix smurfs because they bring them money. If the game is free there is a chance devs actually do smth about smurfs w/o losing income.

  • eggwrath Egg (@eggwrath) reported

    @BlizzardCS error HF-5 on overwatch or something? getting stuck on applying update, then get kicked out of the game and back to login. Not sure what's up with it, but was fine yesterday.

    @JimBill1992 @AnnastaciaMP What... the vaccination speeds are a federal issue... they are the ones that overwatch the vaccine rollout. Hence why Annastacia was so outraged when a aged care citizen got 4 times the dosage.
