  • ShadowBunny59 ShadowBunny (@ShadowBunny59) reported

    @MxsonBtw @SashaMarvelAri @XboxSupport Takes a while to get rid of DDoS. Overwatch servers were down for 3+ days before bc of it

  • Pietroloz Pietroloz (@Pietroloz) reported

    @MukuroDR1Lover From what I know from friends who still used to play the game even queueing for quick play is basically impossible lmao Can't wait to see all those problems but worse when overwatch 2 comes out in 2055

  • SarcasticGamers Alan Blackwell (@SarcasticGamers) reported

    @ellegreen22 @knnymchl93 @PaulieEsther1 I’d rather not honestly, but at the end of the day I wouldn’t really care. Like Tracer from Overwatch is gay I like Tracer fine, I adore Life Is Strange and that game is gay as heck. It’s just the shoving it into peoples faces I can’t stand. That’s really my only real issue.

  • BoyrRob D4RKFROG (@BoyrRob) reported

    Why is @Blizzard_Ent making overwatch 2 if the original one still needs sort and fix? #Overwatch

  • Smexy_man1011 Ryan Pratt (@Smexy_man1011) reported

    @RacheL_MtF @mapomeke @OWAnonymous_ Listen bro, ultimately, no-one cares about how your personal overwatch experience is, you find a way to deal with your problems. Just don't blame them on a hero when im 100% sure i could go into your replays and tell you things you could have done to prevent an echo ulting.

  • melhoop_II Buds (@melhoop_II) reported

    Ive been having really bad issues with my connection on overwatch and i keep getting kicked from games and I just got a -75% xp penalty for 4 matches like I’m not leaving games by choice wtf 😭

  • setsunabear ✨Princess Setsuna👑✨ (@setsunabear) reported

    It's funny how I never have internet issues ever until I play competitive overwatch. Stop making excuses. It's childish.

  • lspiguesslol LSP (@lspiguesslol) reported

    @sjwdebates JUSTIN OVERWATCH PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZ MY INTERNET ISN'T LAGGING ANYMORE

  • Spex_J Jon Spector (@Spex_J) reported

    We ran tests and surveyed our pro players and confirmed Overwatch plays smoothly at ping levels that would not work well for many other games. Most players didn’t report experiencing “major” issues until they got to 120ms+. (2/8)

  • jzayas7 Jesús Zayas (@jzayas7) reported

    idk wtk is happening, that every single time we r in trouble, i go Sombra and BOOM!... win. She... is.. OP #overwatch

  • SUNKENSATURN 🪐 SλTURN 🪐 (@SUNKENSATURN) reported

    hot take but blizzard REALLY needs to do something about the smurf problem overwatch has.

  • Storyti81408328 Signor (@Storyti81408328) reported

    So I had I game in overwatch in competitive were I lost because I wasn't at my best. So then to people messaged me about how bad I was they were probably in a group. So next game I go up against them and the person who showed me to be a sym main all ways has this problem.

  • yoshi85858555 yoshi85858555 (@yoshi85858555) reported

    @CallMeLilly__ Banners, emotes, wraps. I wouldn't see Epic going with Outfits or backblings being rewards unless they added something similar to top 500 in overwatch. Also they would have to fix the scoring system because currently you can just camp to champion.

  • starsnores sleepystarbaby (@starsnores) reported

    Also has anyone been having trouble with the overwatch servers lately? People keep jumping around and freezing

  • mfledd Matthew Fledderjohann (@mfledd) reported

    @NeilShenvi Justice might be: strict overwatch of future bank managers’ access to accounts with more safeguards in place to prevent illegal redistribution of private funds. Unified agreement of what is evil. Forgiving errors. Trusting in God that evil will always receive God’s justice.

  • secrethellzone l*cus’ divorce lawyer (@secrethellzone) reported

    I’m built like a Barbie but i want to be roadhog overwatch and that’s my ******* problem

  • terrairl t e r r a *:・゚✧ (@terrairl) reported

    @Vyvian07 @CORSAIR @BestBuy For me it was the left click (thanks Overwatch and Genshin), but I upgraded from the original Scimitar to the newest (Elite, I think?) and haven’t had any issues since launch on mine. So I think they’ve improved it or I just got really lucky.

  • WaterninjaX WaterninjaX (@WaterninjaX) reported

    Gonna play Valorant and Siege on stream more often 😎. Maybe more CSGO if I don't cry, so like 2 games a day 😎. I finally came to my senses that Overwatch is pretty but the gameplay is terrible. Rocket League is bad and wont be good for a little while. Fix the rank diversity!

  • octotee crimson (@octotee) reported

    i play overwatch on the switch i don’t think i can even talk about pkmn legends performance issues LMFAOOOOO

  • owroadkill owroadkill (@owroadkill) reported

    Broken record, I repeat: I'm stopping playing multiplayer comp games again, not a good use of my time. Getting rid of the Blizzard accounts (for Overwatch) for not-the-first time. Will likely reconsider at some point in the future.

  • jdeeart jdeeART (@jdeeart) reported

    @extrnal I hate this sm, overwatch has the same issues smh

  • sarenyx 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝑔𝓊𝒶𝓇𝒹𝒾𝒶𝓃 𝒶𝓃𝑔𝑒𝓁 (@sarenyx) reported

    @BlizzardCS are y’all working on a fix for the thing in overwatch where you disconnect from a comp game and can’t rejoin and get to lose SR for free or is it just gonna be like that until ow2?

  • Cupsy_ KENA FAN CLUB (@Cupsy_) reported

    the issue with overwatch is that its so unapproachable for new people.

  • SquireOfVL SirSquireOfTheLewdTable (@SquireOfVL) reported

    @heypixiie Again huh Been like that for some people for the past 2 days Been seeing Overwatch connection problems

  • PatrikLiba1 Patrik Liba (@PatrikLiba1) reported

    @Fleks27 I wonder why would someone with mindset like you play at all literally ??? Anything with progression seems you are all against yet for some reason playing mmorpg for progression. Yo perhaps change genre and get your "fix" in lol or overwatch.

  • Monko2001 Potato Sandwich (@Monko2001) reported

    @DarkLeelan31 @sc_Slayerage The main problem with that was that everyone wanted to play as invader, and you could switch your armour sets mid-game. It’d be interesting to see a role-queue-type thing like overwatch do, but that probably won’t happen for a while.

  • jonteboiiiiii homogayboyy (@jonteboiiiiii) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN so my Friend has an problem when he starts overwatch (remember that he is logged in to the blizzard/Battle net app) it Will say ”failed to log you in” so he tries again but it Will just say the same, it has been like that since the change of the Battle net app

  • KoiCalico gency canon gency canon - BLM (@KoiCalico) reported

    @kaynphel After Overwatch’s collapse, she started a ranch alone to continue her research, and have a space for herself. She took up some vigilante work on the side as well - nothing extreme, its not like she’d go looking for trouble, its just that if she ran into it she’d fight.
