  • iamJayrad Jayrad (@iamJayrad) reported

    Overwatch Gameplay is the issue here not our heroes, let's run Dive into GOATS again

  • ButtonMash_ FangtheFluffy (@ButtonMash_) reported

    @FuckGizzles @Splitgate Overwatch was promised to be supported with new content as a live service but soon went on life support as the Devs worked on Overwatch 2 everything in Overwatch 2 could have easily been updates to OW1 but money was sure to be a factor not sure how makeing a new game better SG...

  • Aceesinn ♡︎ (@Aceesinn) reported

    I hate that Overwatch is so broken with matchmaking for comp.

  • DanielTheHuman1 BadDrFinn (@DanielTheHuman1) reported

    @Agastopi I liked the first Overwatch for the first year of the game (until they broke Mercy). Should I download this one, or are the balancing issues still the same as how Overwatch ended up? Basically, is the game fun or does it make you wanna taste test the chemicals under your sink?

  • Laurenimator12 Red Dog Thing (@Laurenimator12) reported

    I think the secret to winning a 5v6 in competitive Overwatch is to just lie and say "Oh they're having mild connection issues. They'll be back." Because then people just play normally instead of immediately giving up.

  • CookieCardz Xavier Galluzzo (@CookieCardz) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I can't speak nor hear anybody on my Overwatch game chat, I have reset many times, uninstalled and reinstalled, and have configured my settings and still nothing is fixing this problem :/

  • blizzykayy Blizzy (@blizzykayy) reported

    My pc is currently dying :))))) First, I have dogshit internet Now, I have amazing internet, but MY PC IS ****??? Steam constantly freezes, causing most of my steam games to freeze. Even **** like Overwatch is crashing randomly??? And the steam games that don't freeze crash :)

  • TRSXOX theo𖤐 (@TRSXOX) reported

    i’m in cornwall rn and i tried to play overwatch, bruh I WAS LAGGING SM, the connection was ***

  • StarfaJI Starfall (@StarfaJI) reported

    @elitez88 @kodyplatt96 @OverwatchNaeri you again are ignoring every argument lmao, I have no issues with cosmetics not being free but I have a lot of issues with predatory systems and with lack of content, overwatch has not been a live service game for last 3 years because there was NO new content

  • wilsondarefined Wilson, the Refined Grizzly (@wilsondarefined) reported

    Good morning everyone! Getting my internet service repaired today and hopefully I get to game after what feels like years haha. All I know is I'm gonna install a couple games for multiplayer use only: CoD MW, Rocket League, Fall Guys, Overwatch and FFXIV because I miss that ****!

  • NikonPunch Mark 👶👶 (@NikonPunch) reported

    Go to games when you have a group of 4-6 people? We started playing Fortnite recently but when we get more than 4 it becomes an issue. I can’t stand the 16v16 mode and I’m not alone. Previous pick was Overwatch but I think we’ve gotten burned out on it. What are your picks?

  • JonathanFaleri Jonathan (@JonathanFaleri) reported

    @namgibot_ttv @Birdring Sorry /s This is a known issue where if enough people report a player they get banned. Overwatch anti cheat does nothing.

  • vsmolpie pie (@vsmolpie) reported

    @xSadFairyDemonx Not sure if you've tried them, but nraas Errortrap & Overwatch prevents a lot of the crashes for me. I don't use them, but Ellacharmed's fixed worlds might help too, as a lot of the lag/crashing in Sims 3 is caused by routing problems.

  • osamadorias Osama Dorias (@osamadorias) reported

    @charlesbabb I played some Overwatch! 🥰 Let's fix that! Which platforms?

  • HOWMANYEGGS ScramAWham (@HOWMANYEGGS) reported

    I just self deprecating humor+sarcasm and fix the overwatch dating sim

  • SternritterNTR Sternritter NTR (@SternritterNTR) reported

    @JamieMoranUK No lie I just want Overwatch 2 and Diablo to be safe from Activision's bs, 343 may have issues but the stuff that was delaying Overwatch 2 was horrifying.

  • Mary123___ Mary (@Mary123___) reported

    I met the love of my life at T-Mobile today. Unfortunately, I will never see them again. We talked about Overwatch and they told me how to fix my phone. I will always remember you😌

  • ProtonNs721 Lupe | Rest In Peace, Alarm 🧡 (@ProtonNs721) reported

    Why is Overwatch the only online game where I get HUGE lag spikes ? Any other online game I can play fine, but OW goes from 50 MS to like 100+ in a heartbeat… Wtf is going on

  • fartgaming69 Sixmax (@fartgaming69) reported

    @Birdring Spam reports. The anticheat didnt detect you for anything. This is a common issue with overwatch, good luck getting it back

  • spicybazzle spicybazzle (@spicybazzle) reported

    CoD has decent support. They usually hold their weight in promises. Overwatch is hella refined. Both have live service elements and eSports designed next to social playlists. So many congruencies.

  • StarfaJI Starfall (@StarfaJI) reported

    @elitez88 @kodyplatt96 @OverwatchNaeri Criticize and stand up for changes that they think overwatch needs to implement to make the gameplay experience better, if they add more content and arent predatory it benefits YOU as well not just us, so why do you have issues with people asking for that

  • cizcofps cizco (@cizcofps) reported

    @DerrekOW @DRXGlobal nt overwatch fix everything up for next match and you got this

  • harlotndemons Demon Harlot (@harlotndemons) reported

    Unfortunately both OBS and Overwatch were not co operating tonight so we had to call an end to stream. I’ll look into what the issue is and try fix for Wednesday Stream

  • Spiff_ow spiff⁉️ (@Spiff_ow) reported

  • hoodtaydy gail (@hoodtaydy) reported

    @hueningkev haven’t played in a hot *** minute cause my ps4 makes A LOT of noise and im trynna fix dat ****. when i do u best believe we gon play some overwatch or gta.

  • NikonPunch Mark 👶👶 (@NikonPunch) reported

    @Pith_e2 And Overwatch 2 is dropping it from 6 to 5. Annoying that their solution to double shield meta being an issue was to just drop a tank.

  • bonbolapti bonsicle (@bonbolapti) reported

    People be like, “Nobody cares about Overwatch!” Then go through the trouble of making a fake.

  • StarfaJI Starfall (@StarfaJI) reported

    @elitez88 @kodyplatt96 @OverwatchNaeri my guy overwatch 1 was a live content service game, a game being F2P doesnt make it a live service game. and the future (which we are discussing) seems pretty dogshit when you look at the roadmap which promises bare minimum and SAME type of content that was there in ow 1
