  Be careful playing comp on Overwatch as Rialto is bugged and will crash your game. Please fix or remove the map. It's just comp rules that crashes the game @PlayOverwatch

  @CY4N4R4 I don’t get the issue, you know how the game plays it’s Overwatch the same as it has for years. Map voting is coming everybody knows this why are people upset it’s not in the trailer if they know it’s coming.

  @BbEunjiX @Greenpig117 @chu_ddino for overwatch. you answered your own question. you’re acting like battle net takes up a ton of space or is super inconvenient to launch 💀 i’m not uninstalling and reinstalling the game that works perfectly fine on the platform i’ve played it on for years when it’s a non-issue

  @MarvelRivals overwatch 2. Killing you. It’s not for character reasons. Fix the match making

  Honestly taking a break from Overwatch to play a bit of Apex felt really good. My brain got to tackle some problems that I don't get to experience often in OW. And I had to relearn some mechanics as well. So even if I was screaming my head off a lot, it was oddly therapeutic.

  @Rambo_Hair @GermanStrands that was hardly the issue, from what i saw the game itself ran fine. it was probably the most optimized hero shooter ive seen. very little problems. the biggest issue was character design, marketing and 8 years too late for hero shooters when Overwatch 2 fails to draw a crowd

  @rodiprimes yeah I figured 😭😭 tho what’s funny is that I’ve had no problem adjusting to paladins on pc from getting used to the controls with overwatch

  @BlizzardCS Can I talk to a human about hacking in overwatch two. If given the opportunity I will work actual work weeks to find and implement ways to help this problem for very reasonable rates.

  My English is so broken, because I'd absorved non stop words and accents of every english speaking country... I blame nijisanji and the aussie overwatch content creators.

  See the issue with wow currently is that it was originally designed to be tf2 but over time has become overwatch, and no matter what version of the game you try to launch the community only wants overwatch

  daws (@TTVdaws__) reported 47 minutes ago

  @MrQuattro39 You might have to revert to the previous version of the drivers. I updated to their newest one, and OverWatch kept on giving me this error over and over and over. I rolled back my update, and the issue hasn't happened since

  @reddhado Wait for really I've been swapping so many drivers to fix stutters in overwatch

  Lucky_-1y (@Luckyjust1y) reported 50 minutes ago

  @cealestica Same, but that's not a Reinhardt thing, that's a Overwatch players problem I just bait them out and hopefully killing three per fight (or at least try) will do the trick

  @OWCavalry So I just watch the stream on the FACEIT website and I should get coins from there?? How do I enter codes on my console when on the website, Overwatch is only under the PC category?? I hope this won’t be an issue! Also, how does one link their Battlenet account with FACEIT??

  @dilucswifesband @pampurins No it's the OverWatch servers. had an entire lobby and this has happened four times where each of us on each team. Got kicked out one by one. I've posted about it OverWatch isn't addressing it nor are they fixing it. It is a server issue and a lot of ppl have been dealing W it
