  @PlayOverwatch Please fix overwatch 2 for the Nintendo switch 2

  @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

  @KUMA_BEARR @FroggerOW you never played the PVE Blizzard made that **** was garbage. Stadium is great but naturally has issues that will be fixed over time. people like you are the reason Overwatch still has a somewhat negative outside perception and ruin the fandom

  @Rambo_Hair @GermanStrands that was hardly the issue, from what i saw the game itself ran fine. it was probably the most optimized hero shooter ive seen. very little problems. the biggest issue was character design, marketing and 8 years too late for hero shooters when Overwatch 2 fails to draw a crowd

  About to go to target to spend $60 that I don’t have on an Xbox controller to see if the issue with my overwatch game is fixed by getting a new one.

  @Pirat_Nation And I'll double down in not caring about any of Sony's live service games, until they make something more interesting then another Apex Legends, and Overwatch clone.

  @arrkstan They were pivoting at every possible turn lol, overwatch comes out- "make it live service" Anthem comes out - "redo the game and make it single player, but water it down for a broad audience" Forspoken comes out - "this shits too lighthearted rewrite the whole game again" wut

  @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

  @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...

  are overwatch servers down??

  Paperboy (@Reniru1337) reported 16 minutes ago

  @Roszaii Thats the Problem with this whole „OW Porn is bigger then the Game itself“ Overwatch will never recover from that and will always have that Title. Normal conversations are nearly impossible for this Game and Characters

  did the overwatch servers just crash for a second…

  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

  R.T (@RyanTmhg) reported 23 minutes ago

  @CY4N4R4 I don’t get the issue, you know how the game plays it’s Overwatch the same as it has for years. Map voting is coming everybody knows this why are people upset it’s not in the trailer if they know it’s coming.

  @InsoNoSleep widow was never a problem in overwatch for like 90% of the playerbase lmao

  @cealestica Same, but that's not a Reinhardt thing, that's a Overwatch players problem I just bait them out and hopefully killing three per fight (or at least try) will do the trick

  anyka✨ (@_celestialss) reported 26 minutes ago

  @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

  Aaron (@aaronreading) reported 30 minutes ago

  For the first time since launch, Overwatch has pissed me off so bad that I've uninstalled the game. @PlayOverwatch please for the love of god fix your matchmaking. This is abysmal. I love this game. I want to play it. I'm having ZERO fun with how it's set up currently.

  @ArkangelOverwat overwatch making me crash out? all is well, i play dbd and spin and circles

  Angel (@Cat_Alan_Vibes) reported 41 minutes ago

  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

  @SamitoFPS @MarvelRivals Support is always a problem in every game Overwatch League Rivals Unite Always the most brain dead and broken role.

  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

  @xia0ming56 Problem is it China dev game and they don’t do Pride Month (only overwatch does) But if they want Pride so there rainbow Groot with rainbow emote lol

  @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

  @yesPotatoe_ did your overwatch crash too

  @OWAnonymous_ If you think the leaver issue in Overwatch is bad, go play Halo Infinite sometime. It's ten times worse over there.
