  Why am I flipping banned because overwatch kicked me out???? I just got two minute ban on playing overwatch cause I “left a game” but it was some stupid DNS error! I did not intentionally leave a game!

  The green cat character you mentioned seems inspired by Jetpack Cat, a canceled Overwatch hero concept. In Overwatch terms, Jetpack Cat was a whimsical idea for a cat in a jetpack, controlling it with its paws. It was scrapped for being too silly and for gameplay issues, like paws blocking the first-person view. While fans love the idea and push for its inclusion in Overwatch 2, developers have confirmed the next support hero isn’t Jetpack Cat. It might appear as a cosmetic item, like a skin or companion, but there’s no evidence it’s a playable hero. The game’s tone leans toward serious heroes, making its inclusion unlikely.

  @SkywardPlate @ThelVanDamne @HerosDr34m Req packs which affected one gamemode only in the halo community yall blame the devs for people this **** in but cod was doing it and Overwatch and none of the fans from those games blame the game for it. It was literally industry standard and regardless halo 5 was live service.

  @BlizzardCS Hello I'm having issues with Overwatch 2 I keep getting a "Failed to Connect to Server" it's happened multiple times and I'm hardwired to my console it's gotten to the point where I got banned from Season 16 I'm not sure why that happens but would @PlayOverwatch look into it plz.

  @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.

  @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??

  Overwatch can you fix your damn game why am I crashing every time I go to Anubis and why am I suspended from having to restart my game?? I wasn’t in a match BECAUSE THE GAME CRASHED

  @HubPointless Also if there were ever a topic not spoken about enough, it's this exact issue here. Counter Strike, Overwatch, Valorant, Doom is basically Halo 3 customs with player speed at 150%! Sprint is a gimmick that's fun, but it was never Halo's core experience. Halo 3 was that in spades

  I need a Reinhardt or any other big buff tank main to play with me in overwatch it would solve my daddy issues

  For me bethesda. The only blizzard games (to my knowledge) that I've played are Diablo 3 and Overwatch, and both were, meh. People **** talked Fallout 4, I personally liked it. But then came that cow patty spaghetti sauce with used tampons that was Fallout 76 and everything that came with it, ridiculous $100 1st subscription for a broken *** game, killer Nuka cola helmets with mold in them, inventory boxes that ate anything you put in them never to be seen again. For me, bethesda fell the hardest

  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.

  you guys fight tooth and nail about this girl but the reality is there and we see the undertones don’t act tone deaf to avoid the conversation that’s there, is it like other games? no, but does overwatch have a problem with the way they do **** like this, YES.

  I am currently looking for work as an 3DITOR. I can work in both short and long form. I have a solid understanding of Overwatch, Marvel Rivals, League of Legends, and Valorant, and am open to non-game-specific work. DM For Resume/Reel Discord: divinityy. Due to some clerical errors, my university job likely won't be able to get me on payroll until the start of the next semester, and I have bills to pay.

  @dusk_fps @Forest__O_O @monsterhunter Might be wrong but this is just getting fixes live service would be rivals overwatch cod i would not put a monster hunter in that category

  @PotNoodleOW i had my first crash in 8 years of Overwatch as well last week. the process stopped responding & locked my desktop so hard I had to make a new desktop to bring up task manager & kill it.

  I HAVE NOW LOST ANOTHER GAME BECAUSE MY SPIKE GUARD WAS NOT REGISTERING A HIT ON A TARGET THAT WAS UNPROTECTED AND ABOUT TO DIE. FIX THIS NOW. #HAZARD #OVERWATCH #OVERWATCH2 @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS @Blizzard_Ent

  @yoshi12370 unfortunately all blizzard games have this problem. WoW for example has had its plot destroyed and sabotaged for decades just to make more money and make blizzard earn money. and overwatch unfortunately falls into the same category. and being a moba doesn't help in this sense

  @arceus227 @JunosHyperRing @PlayOverwatch Overwatch isn't fun, that's the problem, and como don't give you rewards, actual rewards for ranking up, the only progression is the battle pass, which if yo don't pay get nothing

  @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.

  @CounterStrike 1 of 10 players cheats in your game that means 1 cheater per game. GAME IS UNPLAYABLE. How to fix: 1. Bring back overwatch 2. Hire 30 people on minimum wage to be admins in games and overwatch people. 3. New anti cheat very intrusive we want just clean gameplay. 4. HWID Bans

  @WeirdoRolo @RivalsLeaks I don’t play rivals or similar games like overwatch but there always seems to be balancing errors. Why don’t the devs just do monthly or seasonal community voted nerfs. Seems like that would fix the issues the community had no ?
