  • TalonQueenZulia Talon Queen Zulia Lewd Ghost Queen ENVtuber 🔞 (@TalonQueenZulia) reported

    @Lovely_Deathxx I was angry and said no to asking to play overwatch Then ended stream like 5 mins later over the lag

  • iyaoyasWOF Robert Bourque (@iyaoyasWOF) reported

    @trublood505 @FortniteGame It’s only against PC players. And it ONLY happens in Fortnite. I’m big into Overwatch 2 and it never glitches with crossplay. Thinking it may be a software issue for PC and Xbox consoles. I completely quit playing solo even though I have close to 2k wins.

  • LetsTakeWalk LetsTakeAWalk (@LetsTakeWalk) reported

    Overwatch has become absolute trash. Aaron and his incompetent devs ruined it by making broken matchmaker even worse, on top of absolute horrendous balancing. They need to be fired #overwatch2

  • BunchesMelia MELia Bunches 🤡🐱 Clown Vtuber (@BunchesMelia) reported

    i dont know what the issue with my computer can be at this point idk why games like fortnite and overwatch keep crashing i tried everything with the drivers to think it not that. i just hope i dont got to replace anything 🥺

  • chibassss becks (@chibassss) reported

    Overwatch is A good game. If people spent as much Time fighting for “who’s role is most important” , spend It instead on bugging Developers to fix the problems , It would be a Great game.

  • dusty_dino Dusty_Dino (@dusty_dino) reported

    Guess what everyone I think I solved the issue!!!! So one more stream again today to see if it doesn’t crash!!!! So at 3PST join me and some friends for overwatch!!

  • windflowerve Paige ❀ (@windflowerve) reported

    I've come home from uni and the internet is awful, I just want to play some overwatch without the most awful lag 😭😭

  • Lion8769OW Lion8769 (@Lion8769OW) reported

    @lueyow Tbh I think the formatting for a "championship series" is fine the way it is (the long haul) I think the issue that collegiate Overwatch has is that the OWCC is basically the only centralized tournament. Shorter tournaments always yield smaller fields (idk why) 1/2

  • DizianOW Dizian (@DizianOW) reported

    @PipeLayer62 Dude I’ve felt this so hardcore for years, I’ve always had slight input lag on my PC when I run Overwatch (literally only OW), it feels ******* awful and jank and it’s like everything I do becomes RNG based

  • meowIody fluttershy (@meowIody) reported

    guyfs i want to stream overwatch or smth so bad pls fix me

  • Txrje VT Torje (@Txrje) reported

    @OfficialBard0 @_dault Overwatch is pretty great tbh, but yeah the problem with a game like that is that it doesn't attract a casual playerbase because the skill gap is too wide, this is what quake etc suffers from. If a casual has zero chance of killing a player better than them, they just won't play

  • TheSenshiVenom Andrew (@TheSenshiVenom) reported

    @onehandedbndt I would say the view of fun is subjective. I have fun in a comp setting with ranked overwatch. If I lose it isn't like before. People see elden ring as fun, I don't cause the frustration from it does not seem fun to me. I think people taking games to serious is the issue.

  • DizianOW Dizian (@DizianOW) reported

    @PipeLayer62 It happens, I just sorta call it overnight rust Keep in mind there’s a chance it’s NOT you and Overwatch, I constantly have to restart my entire PC to sometimes fix awkward mouse lag before it feels “right” Overwatch has absolutely terrible optimization settings

  • dusty_dino Dusty_Dino (@dusty_dino) reported

    I am going to attempt to stream some Overwatch today at 5pst crossing my fingers that OBS doesn't give me issues!

  • theLarryCage_ drunkdriver78 (@theLarryCage_) reported

    @TheSymbolistFGC why does live service imply that the game will be treated and balanced as if its a moba or something? like that sounds like overwatch or some **** not a fighting game how does live service imply that

  • ClydeFlexler Villin (@ClydeFlexler) reported

    So check this out, overwatch gave me a chat ban cause after I was done annihilating this team with doom fist I proceeded to say wakanda forever… now wakanda service is that -ba dum tss- 🥁

  • scuriportable scuri (@scuriportable) reported

    venting's a bad name I hate overwatch crash

  • moogdraws moog 🍨 ムーグ @ Project: SATURN 🪐 (@moogdraws) reported

    I love Overwatch but solo queue hurts… I don’t want to be called the r slur for having a bit of lag and being the only one playing on point 🥲

  • papa_nurgle_ Blue_Rooster_Face (@papa_nurgle_) reported

    @spragels @minishep_ They have to fix whatever they changed with matchmaking. My buddy we are trying to get back into the game gets paired against masters five stacks and he's vet 5 duo-ing with another vet player. Then Zacian 1 on 3's his team chasing them up the flux and he's back to overwatch.

  • AAngryAudio AlwaysAngryAudio (@AAngryAudio) reported

    The Overwatch community is an embarrassing display of incels who can't wait to suggest everyone but them is the problem. They've been told "It's not you, it's me" so many times they've ****** internalized it.

  • mr_pineappl3s Alessandro (@mr_pineappl3s) reported

    Hope they fix the Overwatch account being shadow banned before they release information on the new hero or Season 4.

  • BrattySucc 𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐒 (@BrattySucc) reported

    @MxleficPrince ;; bro **** horizon and paris i dont miss those ik people didn't really like volskaya but ngl i kinda did. i hate the approach overwatch took. oh, we can't fix double shield meta? okay, remove a tank. oh, we can't fix 2cp? okay, remove it. instead of fixing, they just remove.

  • ZyroseKun Zyrose (@ZyroseKun) reported

    I think for me right now the biggest thing I want the overwatch devs to fix is when I queue for Support and Tank I actually get both not get Support like 17 out of 20 games (I'm making up numbers but you get my point) @PlayOverwatch

  • 1nonlyjisoo Jisoo (@1nonlyjisoo) reported

    @ModernWarzone Never understood the incessant bitching about multiplayer games. I have no issue with WZ2 or overwatch or whatever. They would have to make huge wild changes that interfere with my gameplay. Which they just happened to not do to me.

  • DrelaSoul14 DreLaSoul (@DrelaSoul14) reported

    @AoiKypher Overwatch needs to fix ranked

  • MooreDausen Dausen Moore (@MooreDausen) reported

    @ArkJurassic @SteveChillGame Halo is weirdly one of the few games where people have standards lol. Overwatch 2 launched with every issue Infinite had and many more, yet I don't see have the drama for it. I have no idea why so many people still play MW2 lol. MW2 is so much worse than Halo imo.

  • imrhettbutler Andrew Cody Morales (@imrhettbutler) reported from City of Vancouver, Washington

    Overwatch 2’s matching maker is broken AF.

  • Khaladryel Khaladryel (@Khaladryel) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN I can't log into Overwatch 2 :S I'm stuck in the Entering Game part of the login screen. Is there a maintenance going on?

  • HY_Gaymer H Gaymer (@HY_Gaymer) reported

    Love that I missed a season and a half becasue of an error message becasue Overwatch 2 wasn't ready on release day. Like bro you could've waited a week to make sure **** like that didn't happen.

  • bicboicj Julius (@bicboicj) reported
