  • DSGWho DSG (@DSGWho) reported

    CSGO was killed by the game going stale and lack of content Valorant is being killed by fundamentally broken post launch agents. Overwatch was killed the same way valorant is being killed right now Please riot do not let my favorite game die on me again

  • ghadaq_ غ🦋 (@ghadaq_) reported

    overwatch is giving me anger issues

  • ItsJustKylaney ItsJustKylaney (@ItsJustKylaney) reported

    @shaogens I can't play FPS in PUBG, it's so bad that when I'm in a car and someone else is driving I have to close my eyes cuz it makes me dizzy... but I have no problem playing it in Overwatch. I was reluctant for a while to try OW because it's only FPS and I know how I reacted in PUBG.

    @shaogens I can't play FPP in PUBG, it's so bad that when I'm in a car and someone else is driving I have to close my eyes cuz it makes me dizzy... but I have no problem playing it in Overwatch. I was reluctant for a while to try OW because it's only FPP and I know how I reacted in PUBG.

  • qxeenhea 💕twitch.tv/qxeenhea (@qxeenhea) reported

    would anyone like to duo queue for valo comp later??? If not i probably wont stream as much— still need to fix NieR so overwatch and a bit of valo are the main contenders

  • MrExillion Peder Sloth Züricho (@MrExillion) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN You don't understand, the issue is not on my end, connection to everything else is fine, its ONLY the Overwatch Game Servers.

  • TankHearted Raya Atha (@TankHearted) reported

    @Tsukionae yeahhh i just.. when i got to the point in overwatch people started using stats as a way to insult it kinda permanently created a big issue for me and im still bot sure how to recover or change my thought pattern with it

  • HackingLZ Justin (@HackingLZ) reported

    @vyrus001 The problem seems that you can’t get it done in just software right now because of FPs in crazy enterprise configs. CrowdStrike does significantly better because of Overwatch with humans reviewing outside of the clients involvement.

  • SurajPrabhu13 Suraj (@SurajPrabhu13) reported

    @discord i need serious help i got removed from overwatch server , asked admin he says i think u got issues with your ip how can i get removed from partnered server. i havent got banned or something but still how is that possible

  • CLodriano Lodriano chanel (@CLodriano) reported

    @CSGO Overwatch not working fix plz

  • JJPJ86 JamesP (@JJPJ86) reported

    @ohheyitsjaye I haven’t tried Splitgate but it looks like Valorent or Overwatch style game, yes? I still almost always choose CS:GO for shooter fix haha.

  • Metalkick1 Matt 'Metalkick' P. (@Metalkick1) reported

    How to fix DBD's queue times ideas: If any role (Either Survivor or Killer) is being played much more than the other, do like Overwatch and put an incentive to play the other role in order to balance things out. 5 Iri shards or 500 bloodpoints would be a start.

  • mia_duhhhh Mia adderall enjoyer (@mia_duhhhh) reported

    This game has broken my will i feel mentally exhausted the only other game that has made me feel this way is overwatch

  • RegressiveBard Shanty Bard (@RegressiveBard) reported

    >d2 remaster is made by activision, is decent >wc3 remaster is made by blizzard, is extremely seedy iirc they were going to put some activision guys on overwatch 2 and d4 now too. Maybe the problem the alst several years wasnt the activision boogeyman but that blizzard has

    Never forget when I played Overwatch @ PAX on a rig with a full second of input lag. The opposing actual comp team spammed "ez, kys" etc. I tried to say hi to a teammate afterwards and he literally ran away from me. It was at that point I realized gamers are a different species.

  • VinVeracity Vinnie Wilson's hopes and dreams are dead (@VinVeracity) reported

    @ActualAero Who I think: Crash or An Overwatch character Who I want: Arle, Impa or Amy Rose

  • scumzyyOnTwitch scumzy🇨🇦 (@scumzyyOnTwitch) reported

    @Lone_Swifter You don’t like anything either to begin with, besides a 10 year old battlefield game and a pay to win shooter, and an overwatch clone. You don’t try anything new, and sit there complain about games you don’t even play, BUT YES “PC Master race” is the problem

  • elizrea_ Samael (@elizrea_) reported

    @NinNin36901360 @Brandon93351776 @GenshinImpact They have exclusively online games like fortnite and overwatch and others with coop on the switch, I don't think that's a problem

  • oAzooz3 💉💉عبدالعزيز (@oAzooz3) reported

    @SaltagreppoD2 I am sorry to say this but trials 2 week ago was literally the most boring trials week i have ever played it was too easy too boring it's time for bungie to fix comp and introduce rank system smiler to valornt... overwatch ...

  • DrainbamagedRN Anthony Simon (@DrainbamagedRN) reported

    @RickKackis I had this issue with my new pc at the beginning of the year; amd 5900x and a nvidia 3080 on a asus x570 mobo. Always seemed to happen when heavy load lightened up, like between rounds of overwatch, loading screens after apex match, or when shutting off a game, etc.

  • ahnhanijw andy (@ahnhanijw) reported

    Can apex fix their servers I think if I play anymore overwatch I will off myself xx

  • andrew_jrt nah (@andrew_jrt) reported

    Anyone else got 30 series gpu that has issues with overwatch? I upgraded to a 3080 ti and overwatch runs like ***. About to give up and put my 1080 back in, so frustrating

  • ItsPeekyyy Peekyyy (@ItsPeekyyy) reported

    @cik02k @FreakazoidA @PlayVALORANT Overwatch allows you to avoid teammates for 7 days. Idk if there’s a certain amount of people you can avoid but it’s just a nice feature if someone throws or is just toxic you can avoid them for the next couple games. In high elo I can see the issue though

  • marxistgowon apollowo (@marxistgowon) reported

    i played overwatch for the first time in two weeks last night (computer issue) and i was so happy 🥺 i missed it so much

  • ItsJustKylaney ItsJustKylaney (@ItsJustKylaney) reported

    @shaogens I can't play FPP in PUBG, it's so bad that when I'm in a car and someone else is driving I have to close my eyes cuz it makes me dizzy... but I have no problem playing it in Overwatch. I was reluctant for a while to try OW because it's only FPS and I know how I reacted in PUBG.

  • fra1ldog Jackson 🐶 (@fra1ldog) reported

    I'm sure I'll play some Overwatch at some point, gonna try and fix pkmn since it was broke last time and maybe the sims? ive never juat tried to like play the sims so we'll see!

  • dlljs Lexi (@dlljs) reported

    I'm gonna call it now: Crash will not be in Smash, with Nintendo going for a different character (possibly first-party) due to the workplace allegations at Activision. Same thing (presumably) happened with Byleth over Tracer from Overwatch.

  • bryandavison Oyroi (@bryandavison) reported

    I've been working night shifts for the whole year basically and it hasn't really bothered me until the overwatch league playoffs. Missing these games has been hard as **** and if Dallas goes to the finals I might just have to call in sick with a broken rib cage or something

  • lilithania2 lilithania (@lilithania2) reported

    @amandaannalea @Kephrii I mean I can say 'oh yeah overwatch is so awesome' until I die, won't make the game itself better and fix all the issues it has
