  @PittaMan @PlayOverwatch Dude **** off. Overwatch has plenty of issues, but money-grubbing is not one of them.

  @hive_riot @destinytrack @Bungie N let’s not talk about it being pretty hard to advertise for a company like Activision or whoever manages their ads n promotion, when games like WOW, Overwatch n even BattleBorn, had no issues showcasing their characters in promotion art (not talking live action anything) !

  Why do I get an error code when trying to download a physical edition #Overwatch to my #PS5? @AskPlayStation @PlayOverwatch

  @PlayOverwatch who knows maybe overwatch 2 will fix the priority que that tells you 3 mins but really means 33 mins

  @R1pt1deOw @Sorcereous your point? I enjoy playing overwatch, I made a twitter account for overwatch. I wouldn't be heart broken or devastated if I lost my account.

  If your pc has poor air flow and isn't cleaned on a regular basis it might have a chance to overheat but modern pcs and operating systems have procedures in the place to prevent this from happening If this did happen because overwatch overrides these then there's a huge problem

  @BlizzardCSEU_EN I just went to reset my sound settings on overwatch (ps4) and it’s just made my game crash and close down and now I’ve been banned from comp is this meant to happen orrrr—? 😭😭💀

  So I’m just straight up scared to play Overwatch now bc of the glitch with spamming voice lines making HARDWARE get ****** up

  @PlayOverwatch if you aren't gonna fix your current game hurry the f*** up on Overwatch 2. There's no way you think McCree is in a balanced state right now.

  Anybody having a watch party for the overwatch 2 pvp I can crash?

• 
  Fyree (@MaybeFyree) reported 24 minutes ago

  I will make it my life's work to create an Overwatch Mercy AI that is designed to perform better than Mercy OTPs. The one problem is this cannot be one's life's work because it would take 10 minutes to achieve this.

  I'm about to stream overwatch for a few hours to keep my lazy *** awake and fix my sleep schedule Running on 2 hrs of sleep here RIPPPPPL

  There is a new exploit in Overwatch which makes it possible to crash your Teammates Game. If you experience unusual lags just use the Option "Squelch Chat" on teammates you don't know.

  SEE my issue with overwatch is they always push representation off. We have gay characters but their romance is with off screen characters we only mention when we remember them. We have black female characters BUT she only appears in OW2 and also it took us 4 years to develop her

  Abby (@AbbyAZK) reported 35 minutes ago

  @large_smart Other games have suffered due to it too, Overwatch, Cyberpunk2077 are just to name a few who either faced issues in development or are struggling with pushing out content.

  @Froskurinn Anyone who can't believe this is happening... Where do I even begin? Overwatch and Valorant have some of the worst communities period and women have been subject to abuse since the mankind beta. There's no sweeping gesture to fix the world. Attack what you see, drag abusers.

  well the fastest way to kill my desire to play Overwatch is to require me to play *more* to get the same rewards that are offered every year. I think they could get me to play more if they addressed the smurf problem.

  @OWAnonymous_ If you think Hog is a problem with Overwatch you've gotta expand how you think about the game. One anti-nade and the poor guy is useless. Cree on the other hand needs a nerf to his flash, that is actually too easy and too consistent.

  @BlizzardCS @BlizzardCS Overwatch crashes (at least on PS4) when messing with Audio setting for some reason. Seems to crash everytime I try to reset them to default so I'm not sure what exactly crashes it

  @Metro_OW The issue is definately embarrassing for blizzard, and completely inexcusable, but your concerns of damage to your PC, while not completely illogical, are thankfully wrong. Overwatch does not contain any sort of function to directly

  Anyone with two monitors having recent issues with Overwatch going Windowed on your other screen?

  I agree with RHB and can see how passionate this editor is about making Overwatch look good. Sad to see their video wasn't a top 5 candidate in OWL's eyes. Definitely could be a rule issue, I have no idea, but a missed opportunity to demonstrate beauty of OW to wider audience

  @TBSkyen This exact issue makes me second guess myself when I see an overwatch skin if it's dva, mercy, widowmaker, tracer, ashe, or a new design altogether

  Unfortunately streamlabs obs is still having problems when I try streaming Overwatch so I won't be able to stream OW until I can find the problem and fix it :(

  I am unable to play anything that’s not Overwatch or the Sims and that’s an issue
