  why does overwatch constantly have the “the server closed due to an unexpected error” bug. FIX YOUR GAME PLEASE

  a lot of fans of certain heroes have it a lot better than they'd make it out to be and I think it has something to do with how the overwatch fandom as a whole has a victim complex issue.

  @arrkstan They were pivoting at every possible turn lol, overwatch comes out- "make it live service" Anthem comes out - "redo the game and make it single player, but water it down for a broad audience" Forspoken comes out - "this shits too lighthearted rewrite the whole game again" wut

  @EXCELSlOR_ Sounds stupid, but Lucio from Overwatch or Doomfist, there was a rumors way back about OW coming to smash, but after like some Hong Kong issue it soured the water

  @xia0ming56 Problem is it China dev game and they don’t do Pride Month (only overwatch does) But if they want Pride so there rainbow Groot with rainbow emote lol

  @ThatOddGuyDave From what I gather the issue is Overwatch 2's structure doesn't allow it to be ported over as is, but they should still be able to simply remake it.

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

  @_foulDOOM Same issue I had with overwatch. This game needs communication and people only talk when you are having your worst game in a month lololol

  @EmperorKermit @evolved117 most characters in Overwatch don't have sprint,just like most of them don't have any clamber-like abilities and it's irrelevant if it's part of the core or not,the real issue with it is that it has no actual purpose other than to copy what others are doing sprinting doesn't add

  @PlayOverwatch Please fix overwatch 2 for the Nintendo switch 2

  @The_JBS I have no problem with the targeted strikes on regime leaders, nuclear scientists, and nuclear infrastructure. Providing intelligence and overwatch with planes and ships.

  Is overwatch broken or is my game broken ??

  @genebbyy Heh now if they would just sneakily add my oc into overwatch I’ll fix everyone’s problems

  @bewitcheddarlin Honestly, I reached diamond 3 without really a lot of issues, but people ego is inflated as hell, it's Overwatch all over again 😭

  BIG HABIBI ENERGY!!! (@justjoddat_ttv) reported 30 minutes ago

  I haven't backed out of any Stadium game on purpose - it's been driver crashes and me trying to figure out the problem and now I'm on a 1 hour suspension. I couldn't even rejoin my game when I IMMEDIATELY relaunched Overwatch.

  Cyberpunk 2077's glitchfest launch aged better than Overwatch's desperate microtransactions—I'll take neon bugs & broken NPCs over Blizzard greed any day. Gaming's tragically poetic fall. #HotTake

  I am so grateful to of been seen by Overwatch again. However I am completely heart broken I cannot receive the copy. 🥹💔

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

• 
  Ryancrazyrhino (@CrazyRh1no) reported 39 minutes ago

  @CY4N4R4 I think that's one of my issues with Overwatch right now, there's no actual new content and I reached a point in my life where Skins don't matter to me and I hate the cash shop and how scummy it is, but at least Fortnite has new events and modes alongside is cash shop.

  @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

  Kevin Nogilny (@CookiesAndPilk) reported 51 minutes ago

  @CalamariSteven @JoshLavis @Splitgate Overwatch cosmetics carried over to Overwatch 2. It's not unreasonable to think a free to play live service game's entire means of keeping players financially invested in the game should have some carryover when the developer migrates over to a new free to play live service...

  @tazalotl1981 @NigelMcKinney Most of the time it's not possible to vet people properly, so a stringent overwatch of these people needs to be implemented, if they want to enter they should have no problem giving finger print and DNA samples

  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

  @juwliaX3 I can’t remember off the top of my head but search tiktok for the owl tokens code and just look up the overwatch code glitch and you can buy them, I got the Toronto defiant tracer with it a few months ago

  @DrValince @DelusionPosting @Asmongold Even successful games get dumped cus of wokeness. Look at overwatch. Instead of fixing issues and making the game better they kept trying to deflect outrage and complaints by outing another character as gay

  @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.

  Paul Toth (@ATC185s) reported 1 hour ago

  @cwebbonline I am all for going into gang areas in company strength. Complete with multiple men on overwatch, armored vehicles, drones, cut the electricity and cell service in the area etc. Hire vets. Let some clandestine element of the military plan it.

  @Blizzard_Ent I literally just got penalized in Overwatch because everything froze and crash while I was in a match, and it just happened twice today..
