Gaming’s Most Positive Pillar
(@captawesomeOW) reported
I literally don’t do anything to anyone, I keep my head down and grind games and stream, I don’t go looking for problems. This is all because of the fact these people can’t handle the fact that I’m finding success and out working them, being “garbage at overwatch”

@sweetdreamsh1 Why not simply add in something similar to CSGOs overwatch? Clips are sent and streamers/trusted members of the community can vote on if they’re cheating or not. Not only would that help solve some of the issue it would also be educational and content creation.

I think tomorrow will be my first stream back since I had to stop due to computer issues! The question is, do I play some good old overwatch or maybe try out this cute comfort game my mom suggested called "The Unfinished Swan"

@PaulieEsther1 @DeathBear85 To be fair. I don't think extending PTB would of helped. It is a cross-platform issue from what I'm hearing (even though I still think it's Anniversary event file issue). They need PTB on console, Overwatch and others do it. Even if it takes extra time, I believe it needs done!

@chinchila010 ...... I do not see any evidence of "unfinished games" their thing about free updates just seems like they want extra content added. They have free updates in tons of games, on other consoles too, but I don't hear y'all complaining about Overwatch being a "fix it later" game.

Okay I’m gonna say it: Overwatch is still a fun game, the only problem is that the playerbase shrank

@CrispyFrise @RaymanForSmash With what? Overwatch? Don't forget aside from CTR the recent Crash games haven't launched on the Switch. I don't think Nintendo would be so keen working with them

@Niivia__ Hopefully they fix the balacing issues, overwatch had a bad habit of constantly doing total character reworks so character would be completely overhauled on the fly

@SamitoFPS Overwatch is sadly moving down this path in many ways and has been for a while, lamp and mech recall are the two big ones right now. Others can be rez/inspire but they've "balanced" them. However IMO still has the same problems of being broken or bad in gameplay or in concept.

Why do people DDos QP lobbies on @PlayOverwatch ? It's funny how my connection was perfectly fine when ya'll were pushing cart. The second we start holding it down, I lag so bad and get disconnected. Ya'll that much of a poor sport to lose a non ranked game? #Overwatch #Crossplay

I think this applies to the EU as well. I believe that all those European nations do not share same language and culture and that can be a problem when playing #Overwatch that heavily relies on communication. Some players NEED to join NA servers to play the game in English 😞
