    I cant log into overwatch??? My friend and i keep getting log in errors

  • PLover95 PizzaLover95 (@PLover95) reported

    @_ApexStatus I remember go old Overwatch times in cs go. This was sick. If apex would have a decent replay feature, this would solve many problems

  • DeadAnvo Dead Anvo 🇺🇦 (@DeadAnvo) reported

    @animalswhe @DatFastBoi That's not skill issue that's just overwatch

  • SmeltingXVI Brandon Ryan Beaumont (@SmeltingXVI) reported

    Overwatch, Call of Duty MW 2019 and above, Hell Let Loose, Battlefield 2042, Fortnite and all that allow it, despite knowing controller players are at a disadvantage. They know of the issues and just ban it from Comp play, because if it's casual, who cares about their KD/A?

  • EvilToaster EvilToaster 🐸 (@EvilToaster) reported

    @cydereal @CableVT this is the ultimate problem yeah. I know queue times are the most important factor in BR's but one day I'd like to think a BR could be creative and let high rank players queue for longer while doing something else like a deathmatch or control game (basically what Overwatch does)

  • strawberryjava Guac 🥑 (@strawberryjava) reported

    @AndreSegers can’t believe people will have a problem with Overwatch 2 not being enough of a sequel but Splatoon did it was worse and this 3rd may be the worse offender yet, and they’ll still charge $60

  • Sebtoothboi Sebtooth (@Sebtoothboi) reported

    I’m having some issues with Overwatch, gonna be late streaming (my bad)

  • theMoneyFolder moneyfolder: round 3 (@theMoneyFolder) reported

    @Seren1tynow It's like Overwatch. It looks like nonsense until you actually play it. In fact it's a lot less visually cluttered than OW after you play for a small amount of time. Won't be an issue at all

  • fl0mtv fl0m (@fl0mtv) reported

    Question twitter. Would it be bad if VAC NET(not Vac) could issue temp cooldowns to detected spinbots? Doing overwatch daily and multiple times a day and it clearly knows when someone is spinbotting is there a downside to issuing a comp cool down while it gets overwatched?

  • MudRider1669 MudRider1669 (@MudRider1669) reported

    @Fitzyhere @Em1liath I see no problem here. Sombra is broken in overwatch 1 by making other hero’s kits literally unusable. She shouldn’t even be in the game tbh

  • complimentnyc Compliment NYC - Run by Taylor Vogt (@complimentnyc) reported

    @AdamWeinrib As someone who paid close attention to Andbox and the Overwatch in person matches at Hammerstein in 2019, you'd probably be better off not engaging with Esports if that's the issue. More trades than a comic book store.

  • CoolName03 Jasper (@CoolName03) reported

    @JayWood2010 If the acquisition goes through I would want Microsoft to deepen their relationship with Netflix and give Crash, Spyro, and Overwatch a TV show. I know what I’m asking for and expecting is completely different than what others are but I still want tv adaptations of these shows.

    bruh is overwatch not working for anyone else???

    @yeHHH I said it before 5v5. The way you fix Overwatch is to reduce the AoE healing. 5v5 won't change that anymore than a 6v6 patch.

  • Rogue6K Rogue (@Rogue6K) reported

    are the overwatch servers down still

  • TonixTemptresss TonixTemptress (@TonixTemptresss) reported

    @Doughnuttalk2me Overwatch 2 is good I was hoping for another beta but if they fix a bit of the issues I saw when playing it , it will be a good game !

  • loviysz Jon (@loviysz) reported

    @BlizzardCS hey this is my issue, for some odd reason I’m unable to send people friend requests on overwatch. Trying to send my PlayStation friend a request and I’m unable to. It tell me im prohibited from sending friend requests at this time. Everytime I restart

  • Phyerx Nad (@Phyerx) reported

  • Walboro Walboro (@Walboro) reported

    @PlayOverwatch why have some of my skins locked for owning legendary edition? Like Overgrown Bastion etc. I am gonna need these skins to be unlocked again please. #glitch #overwatch

  • Pirx_ow P1rx (@Pirx_ow) reported

    Tank sr inflation is a huge problem in overwatch ranked right now. Google 'Dva inflation' for more info and you'll see what I mean!

  • madthunderwolf0 gabe (@madthunderwolf0) reported

  • DylanTKMoore94 Dylan "TK" Moore (@DylanTKMoore94) reported

    @BlizzardCS would be nice to get on overwatch on my ps4 however after the update i'm greeted witch a error code

  • quirky_orc QuirkyOrc (@quirky_orc) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Plz fix your severs overwatch lords

  • MrsGeekyLatina Mystic Geek (@MrsGeekyLatina) reported

    @Turondin @PaladinsGame The sound issue from my end is just your character not having their lines but I can still hear the game and the enemies. As for Xp boost, you have to grind. In Overwatch, everything is money and that’s not a free to play game.

  • SulphurRay Ray Ray (@SulphurRay) reported

    @PlayOverwatch fix ur servers overwatch

  • truegamer79 Truegamer79 #enjoy life, gaming, be happy. (@truegamer79) reported

    @AndreaPichinini And Sony: Bu But But without cod we cannot compete to anyone because nothing we create can rival cod. Big tears from Sony. I don't understand. So Sony think their first party arent greatness? I am confused. Not to mention xbox has crash, spyro, overwatch, tony hawk etc.😭 Weird

  • chillheart1789 edgeknight| #bigdickffxivcultmember (@chillheart1789) reported

    @TaterSounds overwatch was never good. it was just a new blizzard IP in idk how many years at that time and everybody drank the koolaid... their issues with keeping things balanced would rear its ugly head in due time

  • elizasghost eliza comms open (@elizasghost) reported

    I just want to waste time on overwatch and can't because the last seasonal event update killed the game servers and therefore I can't login
