  @ShitpostRock Blizzard, it's not even close. From Warcraft 3 to current WoW... From Diablo 2 to Diablo 4 VoH... From Overwatch to the many broken promises of OW2...

  Overwatch please fix matchmaking in Stadium. One game I get lowest rank people the next game I’m playing against legends…. If your not grouped your not climbing plain and simple.

  @Chai_Splat I have a slight input lag on the Switch 2 version of Overwatch 2. Is it only me?

  Cyberpunk 2077's glitchfest launch aged better than Overwatch's desperate microtransactions—I'll take neon bugs & broken NPCs over Blizzard greed any day. Gaming's tragically poetic fall. #HotTake

  Is overwatch broken or is my game broken ??

  @KurtJP35 I can a guarantee they saw the success of Overwatch since this happened in 2017 and pivoted because of that. They truly are scared of doing their own thing and would rather chase trends in service of making more money

  I can only watch videos and draw and play overwatch on it because for aome reason sam and max would rather lag on it before overwatch does

  @fuckhankandtony The main problems with that would be similar to the reason Lifeweaver is hated in overwatch Would there be a confirmation every time he carries you back? If not would that result in a lot of throwing? Stuff like that. Very interesting tho

  I kind of have a problem where I associate things together by words. A tweet will be like “this is a bad omen” and mentally I’m like “omg omen from overwatch?”. Or someone texts something & I’ll latch on to one word that I remember is in a song lyric and send them the song lyrics

  @BlizzardCS Can I talk to a human about hacking in overwatch two. If given the opportunity I will work actual work weeks to find and implement ways to help this problem for very reasonable rates.

  @velvetapplez yeahh and like, you can tell alot about a person when you play overwatch with them..joined someone from a xbox group post and they only played support ranked and were kinda bad at it...looked at their profile and had 1500 hours on genji 😭 and i thought i had a problem on mercy..

  My English is so broken, because I'd absorved non stop words and accents of every english speaking country... I blame nijisanji and the aussie overwatch content creators.

  @tazalotl1981 @NigelMcKinney Most of the time it's not possible to vet people properly, so a stringent overwatch of these people needs to be implemented, if they want to enter they should have no problem giving finger print and DNA samples

  @pampurins i would say that its not really an issue... and that ive survived with a 90% heal reduction... but... overwatch is genuinely built differently and the hero design philosophy never supported cauterized healing, so i get it. it feels suffocating. idk how to help though

  @Greenpig117 >overwatch players came over Bro we were there day 1😭😭😭 And ow players knew where problems might appear and were right. I want rivals to succeed long term but holy ****, not with this attitude

  is overwatch broken for anyone else?? i just tried playing a comp match, we all had a minor perk unlocked at the start but it didn't work, i got killed and my entire game crashed and every time i try to relaunch and rejoin, it crashes again. @BlizzardCS

  For me bethesda. The only blizzard games (to my knowledge) that I've played are Diablo 3 and Overwatch, and both were, meh. People **** talked Fallout 4, I personally liked it. But then came that cow patty spaghetti sauce with used tampons that was Fallout 76 and everything that came with it, ridiculous $100 1st subscription for a broken *** game, killer Nuka cola helmets with mold in them, inventory boxes that ate anything you put in them never to be seen again. For me, bethesda fell the hardest

  @JJETSFAN u gotta use the operator bro thats a lot like overwatch stuff from what ive heard and its lowkey broken

  @EFlexMusic @Pirat_Nation Nah. Overwatch has a lot of porn but its not like everyones playing it. The Fan service may have gotten it a lot of attention, but its everything else that has kept it in the spotlight

  Sorin (@Sorin_FF) reported 40 minutes ago

  But i guess that's what league of legends, overwatch, FFXIV, genshin impact, valorant, marvel rivals, etc. is for. I think live service and indie games just fill in the holes now. But people are tired of live service.

  @mushroomiiee League of Legends has 5% of the lore in game and 95% on the universe website. Apex Legends suffers from the same issues as Overwatch but maybe even worse. It comes with the territory of the genre I'm afraid.

  @astrowaree @SlizzaCS @ThourCS2 Saying Id dont anything is kinda nonsense. Premier has million times more cheaters. Faceit can't ban all cheaters but cheating issue is significantly less Also we had id system in MM before. The phone number. Valve removed it to help cheaters. Just like they removed overwatch

  @live_lobster @LoovlehCuppaTea like fr ive always had issues with nightmares/terrors and i would wake up in a jolt, punched the wall occasionally...one of those holes was made from an overwatch dream. My body reacted like im terrified dreaming about those games 😭😭 sometimes i will close my eyes and instead

  @Coach_Spilo why are you trying to defend him while acknowledging that he has bigoted views? seems like there is a big issue with overwatch content creators/pro players ignoring that people like awkward, dafran and now gamin4hope are extremely hateful people, especially towards minorities.

  when flats said this game is about mental it really is, this guy had bad mental every game i played with him. like i understand you wanna win but yelling at your team isn’t gonna fix the problem and i feel like if everyone in overwatch had that mentality it would be a better game

  Bello! Me analyze Overwatch clip, very critical, like minion! Clip show payload game, lotsa beams, explosions, maybe cheating by Whisperz, bello! Giardia_ow mad, call for ref, suggest foul play. Cheating big problem in Overwatch, FACEIT got strict rules, ban aimbots, wallhacks fast. But maybe not cheating, could be hero skill or game bug, like lag, look suspicious, bello! Need FACEIT check clip proper, ensure fair play. False blame hurt too, make game toxic. Truth matter most, investigate fully, bello!

  Be careful playing comp on Overwatch as Rialto is bugged and will crash your game. Please fix or remove the map. It's just comp rules that crashes the game @PlayOverwatch

  @yoshi12370 unfortunately all blizzard games have this problem. WoW for example has had its plot destroyed and sabotaged for decades just to make more money and make blizzard earn money. and overwatch unfortunately falls into the same category. and being a moba doesn't help in this sense
