    @Sorcereous probably a blessing in disguise if your live evolves around overwatch to the point that you're "crushed" n "broken" lol. Go outside brooo it ain't bad

  • DeyCallMeTravis Travis (@DeyCallMeTravis) reported

    Why do I get an error code when trying to download a physical edition #Overwatch to my #PS5? @AskPlayStation @PlayOverwatch

  • jeziow jezi (@jeziow) reported

    @R1pt1deOw @Sorcereous your point? I enjoy playing overwatch, I made a twitter account for overwatch. I wouldn't be heart broken or devastated if I lost my account.

  • jaxon6661 𝘑𝘈𝘟 (@jaxon6661) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN I just went to reset my sound settings on overwatch (ps4) and it’s just made my game crash and close down and now I’ve been banned from comp is this meant to happen orrrr—? 😭😭💀

  • GoddessIstina Istina 🌸 Vtuber (@GoddessIstina) reported

    Some problems occurred with Unravel that I will need time to fix, so stream game is gonna be Overwatch to see the new event! Sorry for the last minute change but what can I say except it b liek dat sometimes

  • AbbyAZK Abby (@AbbyAZK) reported

    @large_smart Other games have suffered due to it too, Overwatch, Cyberpunk2077 are just to name a few who either faced issues in development or are struggling with pushing out content.

  • Daveycrits Daveycrits (@Daveycrits) reported

    @Froskurinn Anyone who can't believe this is happening... Where do I even begin? Overwatch and Valorant have some of the worst communities period and women have been subject to abuse since the mankind beta. There's no sweeping gesture to fix the world. Attack what you see, drag abusers.

  • b4bushka Babushka ☕⚡ (@b4bushka) reported

    Here's my reminder to myself to login to Overwatch and buy the "BEER!" voice line for Reinhardt

  • pharahjr_ pharah jr (@pharahjr_) reported

    SEE my issue with overwatch is they always push representation off. We have gay characters but their romance is with off screen characters we only mention when we remember them. We have black female characters BUT she only appears in OW2 and also it took us 4 years to develop her

  • nateb39007 Nate @ Unemployed (@nateb39007) reported

    Unfortunately streamlabs obs is still having problems when I try streaming Overwatch so I won't be able to stream OW until I can find the problem and fix it :(

  • definitelymiwa Ji (@definitelymiwa) reported

    I agree with RHB and can see how passionate this editor is about making Overwatch look good. Sad to see their video wasn't a top 5 candidate in OWL's eyes. Definitely could be a rule issue, I have no idea, but a missed opportunity to demonstrate beauty of OW to wider audience

  • ie_Jumper jumper (@ie_Jumper) reported

    Anyone with two monitors having recent issues with Overwatch going Windowed on your other screen?

  • SirCrackerBulb Ben (@SirCrackerBulb) reported

    If your pc has poor air flow and isn't cleaned on a regular basis it might have a chance to overheat but modern pcs and operating systems have procedures in the place to prevent this from happening If this did happen because overwatch overrides these then there's a huge problem

  • JonathonStryker Tyler Gavinski (@JonathonStryker) reported

    @TitanfallBlog You can definitely tell they're obsession with the numbers and balence too much from that narrow view point. I can also tell they have difficulty buffing or nerfing legends on the "right" way. It's much the same issue that I've seen in OverWatch for years. 4/?

  • VoltsIsHere Volts (@VoltsIsHere) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ If you think Hog is a problem with Overwatch you've gotta expand how you think about the game. One anti-nade and the poor guy is useless. Cree on the other hand needs a nerf to his flash, that is actually too easy and too consistent.

  • Leoaltacc ow grinder (@Leoaltacc) reported

    Bro my game crash on overwatch and i cant log back in and tho that i lost 150sr in one game now im 1950 rip

  • Oldest_Rookie Oldest Rookie (@Oldest_Rookie) reported

    @hive_riot @destinytrack @Bungie N let’s not talk about it being pretty hard to advertise for a company like Activision or whoever manages their ads n promotion, when games like WOW, Overwatch n even BattleBorn, had no issues showcasing their characters in promotion art (not talking live action anything) !

  • Deansley Deansley (@Deansley) reported

    been having too good a day off so far, might play overwatch to fix that

  • LeaksOverwatch Overwatch News & Leaks (@LeaksOverwatch) reported

    There is a new exploit in Overwatch which makes it possible to crash your Teammates Game. If you experience unusual lags just use the Option "Squelch Chat" on teammates you don't know.

  • MaybeFyree Fyree (@MaybeFyree) reported

    I will make it my life's work to create an Overwatch Mercy AI that is designed to perform better than Mercy OTPs. The one problem is this cannot be one's life's work because it would take 10 minutes to achieve this.

  • chxilxtte chai ♥ (@chxilxtte) reported

    I am unable to play anything that’s not Overwatch or the Sims and that’s an issue

  • dragonite431 Dnite (@dragonite431) reported

    @PittaMan @PlayOverwatch Dude **** off. Overwatch has plenty of issues, but money-grubbing is not one of them.

  • tylrr__ tyler (@tylrr__) reported

    @PlayOverwatch if you aren't gonna fix your current game hurry the f*** up on Overwatch 2. There's no way you think McCree is in a balanced state right now.

  • ow_Scoob Scoob (@ow_Scoob) reported

    Anybody having a watch party for the overwatch 2 pvp I can crash?

  • MegamiStitch Наташа✨#BLM (@MegamiStitch) reported

    I'm about to stream overwatch for a few hours to keep my lazy *** awake and fix my sleep schedule Running on 2 hrs of sleep here RIPPPPPL

  • DraeganWayne Draegan Wayne (@DraeganWayne) reported

    well the fastest way to kill my desire to play Overwatch is to require me to play *more* to get the same rewards that are offered every year. I think they could get me to play more if they addressed the smurf problem.

  • GameStrikerX2 Austin - Striker (@GameStrikerX2) reported

    @BlizzardCS @BlizzardCS Overwatch crashes (at least on PS4) when messing with Audio setting for some reason. Seems to crash everytime I try to reset them to default so I'm not sure what exactly crashes it

  • gwacu chloe (@gwacu) reported

    @Lainfan69 you may not be depressed looking at overwatch porn but you definitely have some kind of mental problem
