  • TomYankees Tom Nook Yankees (@TomYankees) reported

    @andraydomise Only big problem with overwatch right now is the lack of crossplay.

  • BazaaroDundee BazaaroDundee (@BazaaroDundee) reported

    @Apallohno I play a lot of PC Overwatch, and most the time saying GG isn’t a problem. Probably just toxic players. Hopefully you don’t keep running into that!

  • riefyrief FolliclyChallenged!Rief (@riefyrief) reported

    i know we dont talk about overwatch anymore but doomfist is STILL such a crazy broken hero omg im watching highlights from pros and the **** they pull of shouldnt be legal tbh

  • Matthew95293820 xsuMalibu (@Matthew95293820) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Having problems with bnet launcher and overwatch. The launcher is invisible and the game crashes on launch.

  • monkish_g Always be salty| Monkish (@monkish_g) reported

    People that play overwatch are mad because they cant admit they are 90% of the problem.

  • PostDData1 PostDData (@PostDData1) reported

    @GildasC @speedlapse @Pimp_CSGO Esports is totally different, the main reason why LoL is the best esport is because of you can find 5 major regions, and the main reason why Overwatch failed is because of they focused just in NA and maybe some KR. For you maybe not but for Valve losing NA is a big problem.

  • PieterTroffaes Berrien (@PieterTroffaes) reported

    @ianhamilton_ @ZoeRowen @IndieGamerChick I hadn't heard that about Overwatch, I only have a few WoW friends with varying colorblindness and they really liked the sliders. But it speaks to the fact that fix-alls just don't exist for CB and even with good intentions you can still mess up.

  • joshua_menke Josh Menke (@joshua_menke) reported

    @B00MP0PS @kennyd989 @That_Guy_Bobski Ah, sorta. I don't have a huge issue with displaying MMR --- we did in World of Warcraft for awhile, and Overwatch does it as well. But the focus should be on CSR which is proving you deserve the MMR or proving the MMR is wrong.

  • DawidPatryk666 Dawid (@DawidPatryk666) reported

    @amonsandmemes @itbetheplantman @TheNCSmaster However, I don't know why Acti would want to add Crash to game like Overwatch or Diablo 4. Unless it'd be a skin and/or some easter egg/cameo/reference.

  • keytofate Rokusasu (@keytofate) reported

    im broken dude. zero emotions im watching this dude play overwatch. he got a dono to his stroke victim mom or something and just cant give a single ****. not one he's afk in game, just crying. like mute mic my g. ******* hell

  • ShalonSelphy Shalon@LOSTARK (@ShalonSelphy) reported

    Overwatch asia server down and we all banned 15min.....

  • Snowy_Fuzz 丂几ㄖ山ㄚ (@Snowy_Fuzz) reported

    -- November last year and since then I've seen no cinematics. No updates. And the only update we've had this year is a map and Echo. It feels like a live service game without the live service aspect. I still love Overwatch but it feels like the devs aren't doing anything--

  • amonsandmemes イんムイ の刀乇 ム尺乇ムイ ひ刀ᄃレ乇ム刀 の刀乇. (@amonsandmemes) reported

    @DawidPatryk666 @itbetheplantman @TheNCSmaster So what you are saying is that there is a chance, small chance if Sony agrees, to see Crash in Overwatch 2 or Diablo 4?

  • UndeadRainman UndeadRainman (@UndeadRainman) reported

    Got tested, took about an hour overall to sign in, get tested, and get my results. This place really had they're stuff down pat! Stream later today if I'm feeling up to it after all this. Will probably be COD or Overwatch, my support skills are getting there though in OW!

  • DawidPatryk666 Dawid (@DawidPatryk666) reported

    @amonsandmemes @itbetheplantman @TheNCSmaster I mean, adding Crash to Overwatch, Diablo 4 or any other Activision Blizzard's game isn't part of the marketing deal between Acti and Sony. So if Acti would want to do it, they can without asking Sony.

  • Bearhuggerus Bearhugger (@Bearhuggerus) reported

    @SmurferMatt @RaiPhantom Exactly, that's why they are predatory. However when you literally cannot spend money on them, you just have the random stuff thrown at you for free ? I don't think it's really an issue. Like imagine Overwatch, except you can buy all the skins on top of lootboxes which 1/2

  • Maho2Akane Akane Sakai (@Maho2Akane) reported

    Well I can’t play Overwatch anymore(See: Broken laptop) and it honestly sucks that this happened right before the Winter Wonderland event but there’s not much I can do so back to x Reader and crying I guess

  • WeebHentaiGuy Hentai (@WeebHentaiGuy) reported

    @aIIstargoth I'm just trying to calm people down they get so stressed about it, half of the people i talk with are almost panicing or close to. i try to give them hope. I'm pretty sure the trailer is today. blizzard and overwatch could be having a issue with twitter or something.

  • bearosapien Bearosapien - COMMISSIONS CLOSED (@bearosapien) reported

    @YourCutestEnemy XD See, the thing is, when I first started Overwatch, I myself was a Bastion main. XD Hence the problem. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE

  • Shayy_TV Shay (@Shayy_TV) reported

    12) Streaming Overwatch was hard because I never got to read my chat often and I always had to be on red alert because the community does like to randomly throw around words that'll get me in trouble. ...Also, back then I had much worse anger management and it showed. :/

  • vengenz_v ✩‧₊*:・vengenz⁷ ・:*₊‧✩ (@vengenz_v) reported

    @Gehenna1986B I had this issue before when I edited stuff for Overwatch. Suddenly I found my edits on bedsheets etc on Etsy like wtf??

  • Espervexe Gwen... 🤞 (@Espervexe) reported

  • manutururuuu A Patroa (@manutururuuu) reported

    Breaking news: Blizzard forgot about overwatch Christmas event and overwatch 2 at the same time, the only 5 players left in the game notice the problem and cry

  • Okimasaii Okimasai (@Okimasaii) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @DarkHorseComics Bruh idk if it’s just me but game chat on Overwatch on Xbox doesn’t work properly- I’ve been having the issue where I can go into game chat, but I can’t speak or hear other players. In comp it’s a issue. I’ve updated my controller and have done everything possible nothing works😔

  • zayloxithe 𝓝𝓸𝓽 𝓨𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓔𝓿𝓮𝓻𝔂𝓭𝓪𝔂 𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷 (@zayloxithe) reported

    @SkullzCrushed @Romudeth Overwatch was released in May 2016. It had been out for a few months at that point. Think Titanfall 2's main issue was being released the week after Battlefield 1 and the week before Call Of Duty Infinite Warfare. It kinda got lost in the shuffle

  • danielleamxlia dani-elf🎄 (@danielleamxlia) reported

    Has anyone had trouble installing Overwatch? I have tried installing multiple times but it just says 'calculating size' for hours on end and the support website isn't letting me send a message.

  • RaiPhantom 🦄🎄 Rai @ House Fortemps Knight 5.3 Spoilers (@RaiPhantom) reported

    @Bearhuggerus @SmurferMatt overwatch also has the added issue where all skins are made for event purposes so they add the additional issue of time crunch which also push people to spend money or they miss out

  • beesoup7 🌿link's baby🌿 (@beesoup7) reported
