  • MrZilla321 mrzilla (@MrZilla321) reported

    @animedino791 @BerserkWeeb @heavyfortres it’s definitely less of an issue in tf2, overwatch basically took me off the game, but the issue is in tf2 even if subtly. also idk if I worded it wrong but what I mean is that people will attack you for playing a certain class, making you want to swap, not telling you to swap

  • 7amadena أحمد العبيد (@7amadena) reported

  • chivacharva Chivacharva (@chivacharva) reported

    Overwatch streamers will complain matching is broken and then do an unranked to GM #57 where they absolutely obliterate people that have 3000 less SR then them

  • BcrcGaming BCRCGAMING (@BcrcGaming) reported

  • fantasy_ow_ 👑 (@fantasy_ow_) reported

  • vampireceyz Zoltan! | Vampire PngTuber (@vampireceyz) reported

    I'm so tired of not having a pc, I just wanna play overwatch without the lag. I'll buy a pc off the dark web at this point..

  • FantasyBalance Fantasy Balance (@FantasyBalance) reported

    @M1CTL4N @AndreaPichinini Fallout 76, Elder Scrolls Online, Overwatch 2, Warzone, Sea of Theives, Hearthstone, Diablo... You see the pattern? Why do you think Sony bought destiny? Xbox is eating their lunch in Games As A Service while Sony is focusing on one and dones. That's why they HAD to buy Destiny.

    @bstategames Solve your cheating problem first. At least implement a overwatch system or killcams

  • browntulstar Browntul | Commentator / Producer (@browntulstar) reported

    @JessGOAT @Olympics But then one might wonder, a game like Power Pros is already endorsed by a world sports entity WBSC. What world sports entity will endorse VALORANT, Overwatch, etc which has no relation to current trad. Olympic sports? The approach to defining esports is the ultimate problem.

  • DNo1432 DifficultyNo1432 (@DNo1432) reported

    Hey , I started shooting a video on the game , who can watch and advise what to do best. If anything write to me or in the comments. I will read everything and fix it. #Overwatch #Overwatch2 #Overwatchfanart

  • MllY30N Miyeon (@MllY30N) reported

    Ive been trynna play overwatch all day and every single time i do “the server closed due to an unexpected error” so frustrating 😭

  • animereaper69 Reaper (@animereaper69) reported

    Has anyone else experienced issues with Overwatch 2 lately? Like a few minutes ago, everything was fine and then everything broke- Like, EVERYTHING Lobbies are breaking, continuously getting kicked out of matches and removed to another, and then removed the game as a whole?

  • U6SexiestSaiyan Caulifla and Kale //💤Sleeping💤\\ (@U6SexiestSaiyan) reported

    //so I boot overwatch 2 up on ps5 can’t login due to not connecting to game server, but if I boot it up on my switch it works? Is there something going on with ps5 or something?

  • RC_Polygons rc_polygons (@RC_Polygons) reported

    @PS_Inquisitor @GoodGameKofi @thicc_stick_boi Microsoft is going to fix their exclusive problems by the acquisition of ABK. Most if not all ABK games will become exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem besides COD and overwatch. PlayStation fanboys want Xbox to do better, so Xbox copies Sony and aquire some studios.

  • mushaz_ MushaZ (@mushaz_) reported

    was winning and then server closed, fix ur damn server stupid overwatch istfg

  • Bensam123TV Sam Adams (@Bensam123TV) reported

    Fix your streamsnipe protection/anonymous mode @PlayOverwatch. Your name needs to be hid from others in the lobby for it to be remotely effective. Also why does it show when you have a queue delay on?!?! Literally defeats the whole point. #overwatch #overwatch2 #esports

  • KarasuTheClumsy KarasuTheClumsy (@KarasuTheClumsy) reported

    @PSLifeStyle I dont care much for most of activisions games (except overwatch) but this is a pretty blatant antitrust issue and on principle I dont think it should be allowed to go through
