  • TheExhaustedLad Hayden Boone (@TheExhaustedLad) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Bruh on PC you gotta buy a new copy of OW to smurf you think they’ll care spending like 10$ over the 10-30$ game price? Overwatch will most likely be cross play very soon so this ain’t one systems problem it’s everyone’s.

  • RTheboss30 Hypersonic30 (@RTheboss30) reported

    Idk who needs to hear this but overwatch 2 being 5v5 won't fix queue times like at all. Tank queue times will still be faster than dps queue times & not alot of people are willing to be the only tank on the team. Plus it would make playing tank even more toxic.

  • ThisIsITalk I Talk (@ThisIsITalk) reported

    @ShiinaBR NHL, MLB, WWE, Twisted Metal, Rogue Company, Overwatch, Teen Titans, Crash Bandicoot, etc.

  • LiggaRRRing 🇭🇰Ligga🇹🇼 (@LiggaRRRing) reported

    @LaggyOw @TpKMagician OVERWATCH DEVELOPERS KNOW, ALL I KNOW IS THAT ITS NOT BROKEN BC IT CHANGED A LITTLE AMOUNT OF HOW DVA IS PLAYED, GOOD DVA PLAYERS WONT RISK THEIR MECH JUST TO GET REMECH KILLS AND WILL USE REMECH WITHOUT RISK TO GET THE MECH SAFELY

  • Lainfan69 Mio?Mio.Mio!♥ (listening to in a city that reads) (@Lainfan69) reported

    @Joltao All they do Is sit on they chair PLAY OVERWATCH ALL DAY And then they just complain about wow widow broken baptiste broken Like smh

  • TheWizardBrand ♔☊𝓑rαnd ✪ (@TheWizardBrand) reported

    @MeanMochaLatte There’s also a glitch where guard can still happen when an ally walks away from the player when overwatch triggers by a musketeer, but only for a moment

  • Fazigail1 Fazigail (@Fazigail1) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ I see alot of comments complaining that @/PlayOverwatch "wont do anything" about the mkn issue on console. The truth is they can't. Blizzard/Overwatch discourages the use of mnk, but since the software is supported by PS&Xbox they can't do anything

  • PearlPique Pearl's Pique (@PearlPique) reported

    Asked my partner their thoughts on #Overwatch , as they aren't as into it as me. They say "The idea, characters and world is interesting but Hammond and Winston ruin it. They undermine any serious tones, beats or issues raised in the story. They are like bad eps of a good show."

  • TrueDragonWitch Jeanne D'Arc (@TrueDragonWitch) reported

    You know it's going to be a good day when you rip on some random about video game heroes that are "broken" yet are easily countered. Overwatch ain't a hard game, just get good.

  • Zefram_ Zefram Phan 🕒 (@Zefram_) reported

    @harbleuOW I used this service and went from iron rank in Valorant to top 500 in Overwatch.

  • JacobWolf Jacob Wolf (@JacobWolf) reported

    It's not nearly as bad as Overwatch and TBH not even the observers' fault, but pro Valorant has some really spectator issues around site rushes. Especially when a bunch of ultimates come out. There's so much movement.

  • vibingabe jaive (@vibingabe) reported

    Honestly, I didn't have any ping-related problems with Overwatch until I got back home, in which case 100ms hits different compared to 44ms min/54ms max (to Chicago/ORD). Valorant is almost the same, but with half the latency (to Miami).

  • junkratsbf tom/carlilse/ollie | gay dad arc (@junkratsbf) reported

    Overwatch fix matching in comp challenge (failed)

  • mintaiey Minty (@mintaiey) reported

    my friend helped me fix my settings in overwatch i had it set to "low" but when we clicked advanced settings everything was "ultra-high"... i was getting ******* trolled...

  • NamesDeadCH NamesDead (@NamesDeadCH) reported

    @AskPlayStation Hi! I just reintalled overwatch origins edition and it displays a message: "Sorry, The Overwatch free trial is not available at this time." I bought the game digitally and dont know how to fix it. Thanks!

  • AtlasXIV Fear the Reaper (@AtlasXIV) reported

    Seems I'm still having overheating issues, particularly when I'm running something heavy like Overwatch. I need to find a better CPU fan, but part of me just wants to overhaul this whole rig altogether.

  • OfficialXandr_ Xandr (@OfficialXandr_) reported

    So anyone experiencing extensive lag on #Overwatch for #NintendoSwitch ? Like, there's horrible FPS drops and now this? Fix it, Jesus. @PlayOverwatch

  • DevonVoixVO Devon Voix (@DevonVoixVO) reported

    After seeing some of the replies, I'm starting to think this is a Console Overwatch issue, not so much a PC issue.

  • mogen19 Persona Witch Mogen (@mogen19) reported

    Now even overwatch is having foster issues. Man I cant wait to burn this thing to the ground

  • iwaihu Gamer BF Material (@iwaihu) reported

    Horizon's ult is so ******* dumb. Not broken, but dumb. If I wanna get sucked I would play Zarya on Overwatch.

  • OrchestralPop 여자친구💜🤍💙 (@OrchestralPop) reported

    I was playing quick play classic and i was tried of playing with ppl not in my rank on Overwatch. So i use ny ticket and wait three minutes to play dps and i lag out literaly 3 zexonds after i picked a character. No internet connection problems until i joined competitive. Im so-

  • MistakeOW Mistake (@MistakeOW) reported

    Genuienly considering quitting the game. This meta is so ******* unenjoyable and the devs have their heads up their ******* asses. @PlayOverwatch Fix the ******* game. I want to play overwatch, but I want to have fun. And I ******* can't right now.

  • MrDream923 Mr. Dream923 (@MrDream923) reported

    @bkbriggs324 BTW Overwatch 2 is gonna change a lot of stuff so who knows if they will fix the game by only letting you play 1 tank. I think? it's a step in the right direction.

  • raine_eera Raine Eera (@raine_eera) reported

    it would be really cool to play and obsess over Overwatch but the problem is you can't get a game within 5 minutes, it takes 14

  • BlizzardAccount Blizzard Account Support (@BlizzardAccount) reported

    @ian_c22 Ok, first of all this isn’t a real problem. You’ve created this rule set in your head—there are no rules in Overwatch to directly follow. There objectives, not rules. Secondly, have you tried not being bad at the game? Sometimes that helps!

  • OWLinesBot Overwatch Lines Bot (@OWLinesBot) reported

    Overwatch... trouble keeping up?

  • FernWillGrow crystal metheny (@FernWillGrow) reported

    @WestBrook___ @Heliotid3 @OWAnonymous_ tbh I think pick bans will always just be a bandaid fix for the more broad, deeply rooted balance issues in the game. sure it might work sometimes for 1 tricks and other stuff but like... it seems like a cheap answer to only a few of the countless issues overwatch has.

  • Alchemister5 Jason Baker (@Alchemister5) reported

    I see the Valorant subreddit suffers from the same issue as Overwatch. I wanted to see if any clips or excitement from the event made it off the @VALORANTComp reddit. Nope. JohnySilvers 3K front page.

  • BrndOlivia Olivia (comissions open) (@BrndOlivia) reported

    @javalb_ Gameplay is a bit like overwatch, it's lagging sometimes but overall it's good for the prize

  • Furtive_Raccoon furtive (@Furtive_Raccoon) reported

    @Liefx @DudeWithNose_RL @SpacemanSR VALORANT is like session jazz compared to Overwatch's visual noise. Can't tell you that you should like it, but VALORANT will not have the same problems as OW.
