    @xTrash777 @EspionArts u sure? probably not in prime, haven't seen that message or the overwatch one since broken fang had started

  • DanCodePhoenix Dan - CodePhoenix (@DanCodePhoenix) reported

    Its interesting to see how different service games handle it. Overwatch kept adding heroes, complicating the balance and ruining the experience IMO, but then Fortnite throws out beloved items and brings in newer mechanics in an attempt to keep things fresh.

  • davejahvoo hewtee (@davejahvoo) reported

    I always feel scared to play Overwatch on PC. I use controller because I've issues with my hands :(

    @BlizzardCS hi! I’m having an issue with overwatch on my Xbox, all of my saved progress just suddenly disappeared, now I’m level 1 and I have nothing unlocked.

  • Dreyfis92 Dreyfis92 (@Dreyfis92) reported

    Not to mention OWL off tanks will be out of jobs, all the off tank characters will have to be reworked or they’ll be garbage and everyone will have to lock in main tanks only, snipers will be insanely broken with one less big body to soak shots #Overwatch

    @_As1anBeauty_ Momo had no idea about hee small issue, thank goodness Satomi was here to save her stream. Even though most of the moments are wanting more grinding... Back to the game, They actually lost...overwatch is like thag sometimes.

  • Nighttiger314 Nighttiger (@Nighttiger314) reported

    @RKRigney I think it's a bad idea. Overwatch has a huge smurfing problem and it's a $40 game (granted it's on sale a lot for $20ish). A $10 barrier to entry wouldn't stop many people

  • imlike_Eh Ad (@imlike_Eh) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ If yall wanna spend all day trying to fix Overwatch go ahead. I'm just saying if you want to log on and have fun for a couple hours every night maybe look else where.

    @PlayOverwatch Hey overwatch, I just wanted to let you know that it has been 2 months since I was able to hear and communicate with my teammates due to a bug in your game. Please fix this

  • TrueOcie Ocie 오시 (@TrueOcie) reported

    The most difficult part of Overwatch is figuring out what the problem is. Once you do, it is only a matter of application.

  • celebiemre66 Engineer Gaming (@celebiemre66) reported

  • Im_Noosh Noosh (@Im_Noosh) reported

    Just played a game of @PlayOverwatch where I literally got CC'd atleast once every single time I left spawn by atleast one of 5 enemy CCs. The game isn't fun anymore and overwatch 2 better fix it

  • Naito_Shade Naito-kun (@Naito_Shade) reported

    You increased the mech-drop damage for Dva and that is fine, but you need to nerf it's radius. I have been hit with it when I was not in the immediate area. If it's going to have as much a radius as self-destruct, then Dva is broken. #Overwatch
