@bkbriggs324 BTW Overwatch 2 is gonna change a lot of stuff so who knows if they will fix the game by only letting you play 1 tank. I think? it's a step in the right direction.

After seeing some of the replies, I'm starting to think this is a Console Overwatch issue, not so much a PC issue.

@javalb_ Gameplay is a bit like overwatch, it's lagging sometimes but overall it's good for the prize

Horizon's ult is so ******* dumb. Not broken, but dumb. If I wanna get sucked I would play Zarya on Overwatch.

Idk who needs to hear this but overwatch 2 being 5v5 won't fix queue times like at all. Tank queue times will still be faster than dps queue times & not alot of people are willing to be the only tank on the team. Plus it would make playing tank even more toxic.

My problem with alot of these redesigns of western AAA game protagonists is that both the original and "new" designs are just two ends of the spectrum in terms of focus-tested design philosophies (ex. TLOU vs Overwatch).

@Advyyth dont get me wrong but twitch viewership isn't that important. Take a game like overwatch, **** has like 20k but still has lots of people playing. That game has much broken things too.

@thephunkyjedi @YourOverwatchYT 1) That's the joke. 2) Maybe it's my opinion, but it's also the opinion of a lot of people considering apex has more players. I love overwatch, but it doesn't help the game to ignore its problems.

Honestly, I didn't have any ping-related problems with Overwatch until I got back home, in which case 100ms hits different compared to 44ms min/54ms max (to Chicago/ORD). Valorant is almost the same, but with half the latency (to Miami).

I see the Valorant subreddit suffers from the same issue as Overwatch. I wanted to see if any clips or excitement from the event made it off the @VALORANTComp reddit. Nope. JohnySilvers 3K front page.

@AskPlayStation Hi! I just reintalled overwatch origins edition and it displays a message: "Sorry, The Overwatch free trial is not available at this time." I bought the game digitally and dont know how to fix it. Thanks!

Hopefully OW2 has better matchmaking, i feel like I have to literally carry the entire team on my back consistently or I'm not going to win. It's very draining, I just want to climb in comp but I can cause it's broken. #Overwatch

@macawcaw123 @nicisbr Look at overwatch, everybody plays dps so you wait 10-20 minutes for a dps game. Would be the same problem with midlane.

@WestBrook___ @Heliotid3 @OWAnonymous_ tbh I think pick bans will always just be a bandaid fix for the more broad, deeply rooted balance issues in the game. sure it might work sometimes for 1 tricks and other stuff but like... it seems like a cheap answer to only a few of the countless issues overwatch has.

it would be really cool to play and obsess over Overwatch but the problem is you can't get a game within 5 minutes, it takes 14

@OWAnonymous_ Bruh on PC you gotta buy a new copy of OW to smurf you think they’ll care spending like 10$ over the 10-30$ game price? Overwatch will most likely be cross play very soon so this ain’t one systems problem it’s everyone’s.

@Liefx @DudeWithNose_RL @SpacemanSR VALORANT is like session jazz compared to Overwatch's visual noise. Can't tell you that you should like it, but VALORANT will not have the same problems as OW.

Seems I'm still having overheating issues, particularly when I'm running something heavy like Overwatch. I need to find a better CPU fan, but part of me just wants to overhaul this whole rig altogether.

@OWAnonymous_ I see alot of comments complaining that @/PlayOverwatch "wont do anything" about the mkn issue on console. The truth is they can't. Blizzard/Overwatch discourages the use of mnk, but since the software is supported by PS&Xbox they can't do anything

Asked my partner their thoughts on #Overwatch , as they aren't as into it as me. They say "The idea, characters and world is interesting but Hammond and Winston ruin it. They undermine any serious tones, beats or issues raised in the story. They are like bad eps of a good show."

I find it amazing that valorant players can excuse the judge but when they played overwatch they said that echo is a broken character. echo takes some skill, the judge does not.

So anyone experiencing extensive lag on #Overwatch for #NintendoSwitch ? Like, there's horrible FPS drops and now this? Fix it, Jesus. @PlayOverwatch

(@BlizzardAccount) reported
@ian_c22 Ok, first of all this isn’t a real problem. You’ve created this rule set in your head—there are no rules in Overwatch to directly follow. There objectives, not rules. Secondly, have you tried not being bad at the game? Sometimes that helps!

You know it's going to be a good day when you rip on some random about video game heroes that are "broken" yet are easily countered. Overwatch ain't a hard game, just get good.
