    @FBI Regarding the reported call to aggressive protest at our states’ capitols: I would not exclude Philadelphia, perhaps Independence Hall, etc. for overwatch in case trouble erupts there. Just a hunch.

  • OWAnonymous_ Overwatch Anonymous (@OWAnonymous_) reported

  • Tyler85940111 Tyler (@Tyler85940111) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ The only way to fix overwatch is to remove jeff kaplan and the current balancing team from being capable of making anu changes to the game that they dont know how to balance. They nerf all the wrong characters instead of buffing the right ones. They suck at their jobs.

  • Revalation77 Revalation77 (@Revalation77) reported

    Overwatch has fallen to the dumps now it's all broken bad.

  • Revalation77 Revalation77 (@Revalation77) reported

  • MTalbs9o Matthew Talbot (@MTalbs9o) reported

    Unranked to grandmaster or whatever the highest rank in that game is would be more interesting if you actually started in the lowest rank. I want to see if these awesome players also have trouble climbing out of the hell hole of bronze #Overwatch #LeagueOfLegends #VALORANT

  • DylanJJacobson Dylan Jacobson | (BLM) (@DylanJJacobson) reported

    I couldn’t get Cyberpunk 2077 to run D: I got in, set the game to windowed, and it handily crashed. It continued to crash every launch. So Overwatch it was.

  • NaruBrilu Brilu (@NaruBrilu) reported

  • koltyek colin (@koltyek) reported

    @de_Leaf2 @ECA_tank 1. overwatch is a private service, 2. stop being a transphobe lmao

  • UnofficialHP0 nicki minajs other son (@UnofficialHP0) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ no. Just remove the game to fix Overwatch

  • JarockiWilliam William Jarocki (@JarockiWilliam) reported

    @CyberpunkGame It is very nice to hear these guys are not giving up on this game. Neither am I, the refund old gen is not necessary. In spite of what I think the old gen console was made to crash. Games like, overwatch, apex, Conan exile, red dead 2 and many other crash as well and still do

  • FredCasden Fred Casden (@FredCasden) reported

    @comcastcares was on the ball in getting things sorted with my upload speeds, and so tonight's stream of Overwatch was a hell of a test, for the first time ever I was actually ever to stream at 3Mbps with no sign of any issues! #twitch #twitchstreamers

  • HealsNKills_ow HealsNKills_OW🌐 (@HealsNKills_ow) reported

    Overwatch is so broken right now and yet, I still play it everyday. It's as if I like punishment or something. 🙃

  • elementgs John Gannon (@elementgs) reported

    @seekupTx @DaniellaMicaela Do you know this from your decades of military service? They're fine. There is always an overwatch. Do you think men don't sleep while at war?

  • eboyjinx ✰ p e r s ✰ (@eboyjinx) reported

  • MomentumOW Momentum (@MomentumOW) reported

  • Phoenix_Point Phoenix Point (@Phoenix_Point) reported

    @MCiavala I believe we call that Overwatch in English (the cone?). We did fix a few instances where the game would freeze, but I don't know if your specific issue was tackled. 🤞 Did you submit this?

  • fidelityow fidelity (@fidelityow) reported

    @de_Leaf2 @ECA_tank except overwatch is a private service, which is a privilege to use, not a right. you are required to follow their terms to use the service or else you can be removed from said service. not only that this is discrimination and harassment too, as this player is specifically

  • Xardian_OW Xardian_OW (@Xardian_OW) reported

    The good thing about Ball and Echo being broken in S26 is that people at lower ranks will be forced to play dive or semi-dive and learn it. This is great for the game cause now the avg player can only play with static Rein/Orisa comps. #Overwatch

  • Sgtspacedad76 ◇ Ash ❄️ ◇ #bIm (@Sgtspacedad76) reported

    I remember when I moved from playing Overwatch to playing league and I couldn't stop calling the League champions 'heroes' and now I have the opposite problem (Except I'm not moving back to Overwatch)

  • mintyfreshlife The Nanny Named FranXX (@mintyfreshlife) reported

    The overwatch community is funny. I guess it’s the same in any game, but as soon as something becomes meta, people will cry that it’s the most broken, OP thing ever put into the game Then forget about it once the next thing becomes meta

  • iEnglishBetter AV | Josh (@iEnglishBetter) reported

    I've run into a problem where there are too many games I wanna get good at and not enough time to get good at them. Tekken 7 UNICLR Overwatch Spellbreak OSRS Wizard 101 (not even kidding) Grind-lord Josh is about to be underway

  • ZephyrSenchou The Captain|船長 (@ZephyrSenchou) reported

    Overwatch team releases comics with lore but can't seem to fix the game to make it fun? Okay I see you Blizzard 🤔
