    @landoralpha @TruInfernoPoGo Wouldn’t hold your breath. I play Overwatch on ps4 and tried it on switch and it was dog poopy. So much lag from the lack of hardware capabilities and the character models looked horrible

    @BlizzardCS Hey I was DC'd from a game in Overwatch at the very last minute. I don't have internet issues ever where I am. I was at 2913 SR and was penalized for something I didn't do. Wasn't able to rejoin as it was the end of the match. No rejoin option. Negan#11404

  • kiyarie Sun San💗Ignis ⚔️💍 (@kiyarie) reported

    The controls I have for Overwatch & FFXV are entirely different but because I play these two games for so long I have no problem switching my brain

  • MarkJones_1998 Mark Jones (@MarkJones_1998) reported

    @NVIDIAGeForce Release new drivers that make Overwatch not lag like crazy for the first 5 minutes

  • jaydenchess Jaiden (@jaydenchess) reported

    @Kaizokuman @geri89xd @IGN Doom Eternal and Overwatch are 2 of the biggest third-party games on Switch and Crash 4 is coming next month. along with that, the 3 characters are all undoubtable gaming icons + they seem like characters Sakurai would want to add

  • HulkGamerYTV HulkG (@HulkGamerYTV) reported

    @ShivFPS DISGUSTING, feels like im playing Overwatch or Destiny with all the META going towards broken abilities and broken weapons as opposed to MECHANICAL SKILL, so sad to see Apex going down the drain as a casual RNG bs game 😞💔

  • itsFODDER itsFODDER (@itsFODDER) reported

    If you are in the content creator Discord server for Overwatch and you're too scared to speak your mind like Samito about all the game's issues, then you are part of the problem and the reason why Overwatch is in the dire death spiral it's in. Stop being betas and speak up.

  • tsukimitzu tsuki🌙💜 (@tsukimitzu) reported

    living with parents during COV*D problem #121: getting called by your dad at 10pm for yelling “I bet your **** cheese smells like death” too loudly while playing Overwatch

  • CPJackalRock Jackal Rock/Snickerman (@CPJackalRock) reported

    And the issue is apparent on games like Overwatch, Warframe, and Volcanoids the most (for the ones I actually play) and has yet to show up (thankfully) for games like Terraria, The Forest, and Minecraft.

  • ruok3_ ruok3 (@ruok3_) reported

    PC OVERWATCH IS AFUCKING JOKE LIKE SERIOUSLY WHAT ******** MADE ME THINNK IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO EVEN ******* BUY THIS THIBG ******* 10 GAMES PLAYED TONIGHT 3 LEAVERS I GET ******* SILVERS WHEN I WAS DIAMOND ON MY TEAM @PlayOverwatch FIX UR ******* GAME

  • JustinZoras Justin Zoras (@JustinZoras) reported

    @BlizzardCS I’ve been having issues with overwatch for weeks, random disconnects and dying through the map.

  • angclbun s 🌸 (@angclbun) reported

    @ATT hey AT&T can u fix the broadband outage in Houston already I would really like to play overwatch origin editions on my Xbox one thanks

  • Goldspira1 goldspiral (@Goldspira1) reported

    Nintendo Direct tomorrow. I'd like to see a BotW 2 trailer, and Mario Kart 9. For the smash character, I think Crash Bandicoot could get in or Tracer based on Blizzcon being right about now. Overwatch randomly got ported onto the switch and it's a possibility

  • DocZenith “Famous” Streamer DocZenith (@DocZenith) reported

    @GoldenFlameZero That’s the issue with Overwatch. Every time something that requires the least amount of engine mastery is revealed, they remove it.

  • BooksLater OneThousandBooksLater (@BooksLater) reported

    @camillo1978 Relative who plays Overwatch if it was unsuitable for a 9-year-old, says no problem. "It's the most cartoony shooter game out there. And the worst word any of the characters ever says is 'Dammit!'"

  • JustinZoras Justin Zoras (@JustinZoras) reported

    @BlizzardCS Still haven’t fixed the constant DC issue in overwatch. The last few weeks have been brutal.

  • scrubcoral Mint (@scrubcoral) reported

    @shyfluffer @Niandra_ P.S. Please bring back 3-2-1. If balanced correctly, it can fix a number of Overwatch's glaring issues. Previous open queue experiences should not effect your opinion on 3-2-1 Role lock

  • tartafaa Ren 🌟 Faasan advocate (0/300) (@tartafaa) reported

    i blame maining d. va in overwatch for all my problems

  • wujupril an 💫 (@wujupril) reported

    i just tried to save in overwatch my brain is broken

  • Zarina_Kassir Wintry Zarina | BLM/ACAB (@Zarina_Kassir) reported

    "Fixed an issue where unbreakable sets could be broken." BHVR is SICK for patching this out. Should hace just accepted it as a new feature, like how Overwatch did with Mercy's Superjump.

  • jaydenchess J (@jaydenchess) reported

    @geri89xd @IGN Doomguy, Crash Bandicoot and *sigh* Tracer from Overwatch are probably the most likely characters

  • ItsYachabu 🤎🤍 jacob 💛🤎 (@ItsYachabu) reported

    Now i need to get that overwatch platinum Only problem is that i need to get rapid discord, and a quad with junkrats ult
