  will never get over that blizzard introduced a hero so terrible it completely broke overwatch, they then completely destroyed the whole game to try to fix, but the hero is still the same and still broken

  @BlizzardCS Hi why is Overwatch running at 2 fps with hard dips? It used to work completely fine and now it looks like I'm trying to run it at 8k with a toaster I'm playing at 1080p (medium to high) with a 2060 is there a driver issue atm? I have the most recent one.

  @0kbps the biggest issue with Overwatch was following any fight was incredibly difficult, glad they're not addressing that.

  I don't like that i can only aim decent with 800 dpi and 4 ingame on Overwatch. Any higher and i overshoot, any lower and i undershoot / more trouble turning around 🙃

  @Jim674 @OWAnonymous_ There could be an exception. Shield gen sym was infinitely more popular than launch-sym. Besides, I don’t think anyone actually wants pure launch Overwatch. It was a buggy, broken mess. But a few major patches post-launch though...

  @BlizzardCS i keep getting kicked from overwatch matches with the message "unexpected server error occured". a quick search says this is happening to others, too

  @kilsupreme Found my second problem with overwatch. One ranked loss and they snatch 100 of my fcking points. Sick of the games

  DDoS attacks are illegal under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Starting a DDoS attack against a network without permission is going to cost you up to 10 years in prison and up to a $500,000 fine. So before you doss in playoffs, is console overwatch tournament worth 10 years?

  I take one week away from Overwatch, and can barely play now. Mix that with my broken mouse and keyboard eek :$

  @BlizzardCS I was just trying to buy Overwatch for my friend and you guys have turned this into a nightmare, your service is THE WORST

  @PlayOverwatch can y'all please fix the server issue 🥺 I lagged out twice in comp and couldn't get back in for like 5 secs 😭 it's very annoying #overwatch #gaming

  @Blizzard_Ent fix your banning situation on overwatch I just had a ******* 3 stack afk the whole game and the worst thing is that the other 2 people playing actually ******* won fights with me. THIS WAS MY ******* HIGHEST RANKED GAME EVER AND I GET THIS ****

  Overwatch you really need a more friendly inactive timer I can't do anything once the game starts and with my lovely mother always calling me for some dumb bullshit I get kicked that ******* timer and lag get me so ******* angry

  @Snowii_ @ApparentlyJxck @RocketLeague That’s not a problem it’s a correct feature. Why would you want a game to start without a full lobby? One team would be at a huge disadvantage. You’re desire makes no sense. Also Overwatch and Siege have similar features at the start of games

  @YoshiEmblem feel free to add me on steam cause i have a shitload of these cache sets and nobody to trade them to! also they just recently added in a league-like overwatch system to combat the griefing and cheating so, at least valve is trying to help with the toxicity issue

  @alexonelol @Im_Cliche @Kephrii First the Elimination system. I get that in many team based games and shooters, the final blow is given to the person based on the last hit. OverWatch has many different heroes that do different thing, doing different sets of damage. One problem that came flared up from this is

  Does anyone know the rules for co-streaming/live viewing for Overwatch league this year? I would love to do it but I don’t wanna get in trouble

  My issue with #overwatch is the fact that the game caters too much to the dps mains and not so much to the support and tank mains.

  Crash is still a special interest. Tf2 is a special interest i think. Or just a big interest/fixation that i do wanna get back into. But overwatch seems more interesting rn bec sigma.

  Did anyone else get a server error message on Overwatch just now?

  Adam (@plasticfreeAdam) reported 50 minutes ago

  @itisnatty @Bee_4Time For me, I tend to play a game to death with a few games at the side. I did it with WoW, Overwatch, BoTW, I even have 300 hours on stardew. So lack of games isn't a problem as long as something hooks. But no easy stock solves the problem "should I buy a console?" right now.

  @ministilinski13 @Rikihanks @PlayOverwatch tf lol? anyone in the overwatch community can agree the game is in a miserable state right now. they cant even fix their first game before making another one. it takes them 3 months to make trash balance changes and fix bugs. we've gone without good content for 2 years.

  Overwatch is so ******* annoying. Like I have literally left this game 8 times and it keeps adding me back to it. Please fix that.

  As Symmetra player on Overwatch, I am no stranger to random messages from teammates after games. Funny how they always assume we lost cause of me. Smh. Gold in kills and Objective kills and I die in the single digits. 99% of the time its them not working together.
