  • JaharaMatisek FRANKY (@JaharaMatisek) reported

    @JJakpaw @Florian93721335 @Felix_Nuno Always risk to any sort of NEO. I’d have no problem sending C-17s, C-130s, and A400s with armed overwatch from an AC-130 and other platforms like a B-52 etc., assuming the airport perimeter could be controlled and maintained.

    @doubleDD343 @UniDaSensei And their biggest games was lemmings not CoD, Diablo, overwatch and crash. Do you like making yourself look dumb? Because you do a good job at it.

    @GruesomThe XD If you are new to the Horsewatch series, it started last year as an excuse to draw horsecocks on overwatch girls (cuz i looked on rule 34 and there was almost none, so i wanted to fix that) people seemed to like the idea so here's part 2 xd

  • yandleyick julian (@yandleyick) reported

    we keep joking abt mercy mains having daddy issues but there are deadass parents letting their underage daughters log onto OverWatch for 12 hours a day... everyday...

  • lendezi Lendezi (@lendezi) reported

    @greghavenner Personally, I like realistic games like this. It’s about having the game feel immersive to me (big reason I couldn’t get into Fortnite, Overwatch, and other cartoon-looking games). I like realism in whatever I play. I do see the issue with many people playing a game like this tho

  • EmperorOfPiss Tegan (@EmperorOfPiss) reported

    Hey while I’m in Kingston waiting for my brother to wake up from his coma can I give u my battle. net login so I can at least get my $10 worth of the Overwatch battle pass

  • minasserr milena nasser🐉 (@minasserr) reported

    Anyone else having problems with Overwatch server?

  • Necrotine1 Necrotine (@Necrotine1) reported

    @ljlrj @Wario64 Activision: Call of Duty, overwatch, diablo, WoW, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Sekiro, Firewalk: Do tell me how buying a game development studio that owns zero games is comparable to buying Activision when they already bought juggernauts like Bethesda, Mojang, ID, and Obsidian?

  • Velvet_Velours VV🌙✨ (@Velvet_Velours) reported

    wanted to try playing comp in Overwatch with peopoe I know, only to find out that we can’t play together and I’m the problem since I’ve never played comp before I thought it resets completely, but apparently not

  • martini_new Martini (@martini_new) reported

    @GW_Alec Hey Alex, when are you going to fix the career profile not displaying correct stats on Overwatch 2 for console ? My stats and playtime from ow 1 have still not been recovered since

  • RexOverwatch Rex Overwatch (@RexOverwatch) reported

    @danjamin i figured out how to fix overwatch, check out my youtube channel for my ramblings, thx! :)

  • yokolinv lifeweaver is so meow meow (@yokolinv) reported

    bro I literally can’t play Lifeweaver without getting targeted/focused the whole game, if a character like him pisses you off to the point you target the players you have some serious issues tbh, literally I can’t play in peace #overwatch

  • Rantexox Rantexox (@Rantexox) reported

    @mistahwoodhouse @BigSliceGaming That’s actually a big problem with Overwatch right now, they got rid of test servers and whenever it seems like they introduce something it immediately because meta, (Hammond and now brig) if those test serves still existed it wouldn’t have happened because of feedback.
