    @igmrevaporation Fun fact: the company that made all of the fortnite skin’s models are the same company who made the character models in Crash 4 (and also overwatch), they can EASILY bring those models into fortnite 👍🏻

  • zackblast Done Heavens (@zackblast) reported

    So can y’all fix your game please? And stop trying to be like overwatch please? @PlayApex @Respawn y’all are doing a great job of losing your community I already know right off the bat 10 people close to me who have quit apex all together...keep it up lol.

  • ssinistershrike ssinisters (@ssinistershrike) reported

    @rz_lively88 Not really, they all have their issues but at least they release content unlike Overwatch lol

  • dropswatch DropsWatch - Track Overwatch Rewards and Drops (@dropswatch) reported

    Apologies for the delayed post, it was scheduled for tomorrow, so we got it up now. Also note, Blizzard is currently investigating issues with the Overwatch Contenders website not loading at times.

  • bonniequeue bonnie qu (@bonniequeue) reported

    i just reopened valorant for the first time in months and honestly, i think my problem is that i'm TOO skilled. apex and overwatch have made me so good at tracking moving targets that i can't hit shots on barely-moving enemies anymore. tragic but true :/

  • Gux_Valorant Gux (@Gux_Valorant) reported

    @_PLAYERR1 The issue is you have overwatch installed and you're trying to play it. Games bad.

  • PhutureH Phuture (@PhutureH) reported

    WHY TF IS THERE NO MUTE ALL CHAT BUTTON IN #Overwatch ?!?!?!?!?! THIS WOULD LITERALLY SOLVE SO MANY ISSUES!!!!!!

  • _PLAYERR1 PLAYER1 (@_PLAYERR1) reported

    I have a weird issue with my Overwatch, when I alt-tab out and in, my game runs smoothly and then 5 seconds after it feels like it drops to 60hz, while the game is consistently running on 300 FPS. When I alt-tab again it stays smooth for 5 seconds and then goes choppy after. help

  • vapvreon ɱıƙ (@vapvreon) reported

    THE SHEER ******* GALL OF TESS NOT ASKING TO PLAY OVERWATCH WIRH ME HAS BROKEN MY HEART GOODBYE IM NEVER RETURNING

  • SylviaCyborg sylvia the sylveon (@SylviaCyborg) reported

    @pftjschut Ya its upsetting Strange thing with overwatch tho is people used to get banned for playing on linux using wine but blizzard reverted all the bans and now say that there is no problem with playing the game on linux So like at that point you should just port it right?

  • QaseemYousaf Qaseem Yousaf (@QaseemYousaf) reported

    @ZenoKagemaru @OWAnonymous_ Wtf why would I not voice my disdain for a dumbass broken ability to be in the game. Do you even play overwatch?

  • Taureon_OW Taureon (@Taureon_OW) reported

    my overwatch is broken i think

  • xxcrossbonezxx Nerf This. 🌸 (@xxcrossbonezxx) reported

    Also, lately nights have been spent playing competitive overwatch cause I want a gold weapon...and its stressful? Like...we had a player last night disconnect, reconnect then disconnect the WHOLE match, and i dont think they ever fully loaded in

  • BrothaDom BrothaDom ❤️💜💙 (@BrothaDom) reported

    And the biggest problem in #Overwatch is how much people love to lie. "This isn't an alt account!" Bro, there's no character in any game who works like Tracer. There's no way you've carried that skill from another game lol

  • BrothaDom BrothaDom ❤️💜💙 (@BrothaDom) reported

    the smurf/alt account issue is getting really out of control in Overwatch. High level players keep saying it's not a problem, but there's so many new accounts of people with great mechanics.

  • KalobGossett Kalob Gossett (@KalobGossett) reported

    @BlizzardCS fix your Overwatch servers! all of the players were disconnected out of competitive mode, and now I’m suspended because I was forced out

  • vibingotnohoes Evan 😦 #swaggiest (@vibingotnohoes) reported

    Int ruins others game and I would never do that for anyone. Toxicity is something that we should fix in Overwatch. We all need to be better

  • LeaksOverwatch Overwatch News & Leaks (@LeaksOverwatch) reported

    I'm facing some issues. Currently rewriting my program to extract the data out of the Overwatch patches. It might take some time. Sorry!

  • Mood_The_Lion ♡Nina♡ (@Mood_The_Lion) reported

    @igmrevaporation That too but I was referring to @/airbornstudios, they’ve been sharing crash/overwatch/fortnite stuff lately.

  • Nob0d Alex Nob0d (@Nob0d) reported

    @xKozaa Its not up to activision. Its up to blizzard (who are technically seperate now) and their horrible launcher that theyve refused to fix through the existence of Overwatch.

  • EuphoricWolf94 (@EuphoricWolf94) reported

    It’s oficial now, I cannot stream Overwatch on my PC anymore. I’ll be switching back to PS4 to stream Overwatch. I’ll stream other games on my PC. Unless there is a way to fix my StreamLabs or get another to stream to Twitch.

  • dresowski Hottakes_OW (@dresowski) reported

    If you need to drink to play ranked is it a drinking problem or an Overwatch problem.

  • emphenz ZC | Em 🌻 (@emphenz) reported

    reinstalling overwatch has given me anger issues and it’s only been 24 hours

  • PenguPinguPongo Pingu (@PenguPinguPongo) reported

    why tf is overwatch capping out at 30fps today for no reason, the settings are all fine !!!! if this issue does not resolve soon i will not be able to scrim tonight!!!!!!! so ****** weird sometimes it randomly caps at 90 or 100 or 110 but today its 30 and its not playable!!!!!!!!

  • MorbidZach Zachary (@MorbidZach) reported

    @itshundredz Overwatches ranked system is just as broken as apex’s in my opinion. Could you elaborate on what u mean?

  • FranckyFox2468 François Godbout (@FranckyFox2468) reported

    @CrashBandicoot only reason i wouldve bought this version is if you gave Junkrat the trademark crash dance in overwatch. Even when a crash game is arriving on the blizzard platform you still do NOTHING with this (this and hogger's kit wouldve been perfect for crash in hots) :(

  • droidnoise11 матео (@droidnoise11) reported

    getting overwatch com problems so I'll step

  • CarnagerB Mr Kickinthedick (@CarnagerB) reported

    Bro in law put on that Dunkey video about Overwatch 2 last time I was over and Oh my god Their solution to Overwatch's PVP being a broken mess is skill trees and PVE Overwatch 2 is literally just Battleborn

  • AestrGaming Aestr (@AestrGaming) reported

    Okay I'm just gonna stream overwatch, I can't fix the issue

  • Perkahh Perkah (@Perkahh) reported

    Lagging bc overwatch decided to randomly update, my router is literally a cardboard box
