  • ladyeClAiR Kirsty J (@ladyeClAiR) reported

    Toxicity in video games towards women is something that needs to be addressed. If a man says something in a voice chat, there's little issue, but if a woman is caught in voice coms it becomes a huge issue #overwatch #OW2

  • Deaner1445 Deaner (@Deaner1445) reported

    @Maplechu_ Yooo look at that positive rp pog overwatch sr glitch prsd activates...

  • viollous Viollous 🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦 (@viollous) reported

    I not gonna lie, quitting Overwatch was the hardest thing I had to do and I wasn't able to get over my ex of 4 years for an entire 8 months 💀 It's been over a year now and sometimes I get the urge to login once again

  • ShawnRomo_ Shawn Romo (@ShawnRomo_) reported

    Overwatch matchmaking is broken

  • CreamySpe After-Darkitty (@CreamySpe) reported

    @Kea_AD I imagine it’s because of the games they began with being Overwatch and WOW respectively, xQc was already plenty popular with OW’s freshness alone The problem is that neither of these big streamers feel like they have a community, chat is just of unreadable noise or harassment

  • OkamiHouse Oki-san V.0 🐺🏯 (@OkamiHouse) reported

    @nancelott_uwu I wish #battlenet wasnt asking me to re buy my copy of #overwatch when i clearly bought it and have been playing it on my stream for like a year plus -___- i better not have issues with playing the beta

  • FMC_00 FMC_00 (@FMC_00) reported

    My nuclear take about this issue is that characters should be free in fighting games, like in overwatch.

  • MadAtTheGalaxy MadAtTheGalaxy (@MadAtTheGalaxy) reported

    @Kermit120445 @JaninevanZyl9 lol, uffcorse it was fraud, if it was not it woude have elector overwatch as normal places do, many stories about people who tried to keep watch over it voiced there problems that it did not happen legit,

  • KirbyCheatFurby Anthony (@KirbyCheatFurby) reported

    @KatsuneUK oh i know not everyone is like that, but it sounds like it could be a relatively common problem to deal with in a game like overwatch

  • jonhr13 Jon 🧠 (@jonhr13) reported

    We really though Mercy’s 6 man was rez was not the most the most broken ultimate in overwatch

  • flynn_mccracken The Lord Of War (@flynn_mccracken) reported

    @craig2835 @Ich2r You know, I didnt think of that. Its a good idea cuz then where ever the computer gets used, you cant play overwatch there. Only problem is that people can screw over other people by connecting to their internet.And if they use a vpn they will be fine

  • ivebeangood Bean (@ivebeangood) reported

    @FLMayhem The largest issue this game has faced is the lack of tutorial, the tutorial teaches the most basic fps mechanics but fails to teach the most basic game sense concepts, other blizzard strategy games like StarCraft or hearthstone do a great job of this so why not overwatch?

  • Chatterboxfox_ Monica (@Chatterboxfox_) reported

    Hey @overwatch could you please fix the game so that we don’t get pulled into a game that immediately loses thanks

  • Grillinessou NoTw (Ray) (@Grillinessou) reported

    @castlerea__ It's been an annoying problem with Overwatch for a long time now. Wish they would do something about the leavers.

  • kzrlp 𓆝 𓆟 𓆜 𓆞 (@kzrlp) reported

    how do i get into console overwatch mercy tiktok so i can get me a low diamond healbot egirl to fix

  • chlobonator Chlobonator (@chlobonator) reported

    Anyone else having issues with overwatch closing and bringing you back to battlenet? It's happened 3 times to me today 🙁

  • packysmith Packy (@packysmith) reported

    @JezCorden Nothing cancelable in this statement. Overwatch is a top tier shooter. It’s biggest problem recently is the lack of meaningful updates to the game coupled with the palpable desire for Blizzard to release Overwatch 2.

  • KohakuNakatomi Kohaku ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪ 🎸🎼 | ThighHighVT🧦 (@KohakuNakatomi) reported

    Sorry game is being switched to Overwatch! Capture card issues sadly 🥺

  • X_Life_Style X Life Style (@X_Life_Style) reported

    @BootseyTV @infrarogue89 Continue is a key word, same like they used the word legacy with Bethesda They won't remove any game that already exist on Playstation, not talking about new games Call Of Duty Warzone Call Of Duty 2022, 2023 Overwatch Diablo 4 Next Crash (already in development) That's it 💀

  • danmcCoy3 THE GREAT TOM CRUISE SHIP (@danmcCoy3) reported

    @Alex_zedra @JakeSucky @IShowSpeed Why is it every game riot makes is cursed with this ****. Im not talking general trash talk, im talking **** this. League and Valorant have this problem. Overwatch...havnt played it in a while but I have seen this **** there too. Cod.....havnt seen it there all that much.

  • B0ULIANNE Remi (@B0ULIANNE) reported

    I was not able to play OVERWATCH, League of Legends and WoW They’re telling me “work and we will leave you alone” which is completely insane because they’re not even working right now! Ciment geometry people (construction) talking **** about people not working

  • stormisjesus 🌩 Stormandreas 🌩 (@stormisjesus) reported

    @kaystronggaming @lightstarjo This is the other issue. People do this already. Overwatch tried it with Rank Demotion, which partially worked, but obviously players felt they were obliged to play to keep their rank which.... kinda was the whole point. They had to keep proving they were at that level

  • jaymisoncarnage Dedmon (@jaymisoncarnage) reported

    @BlizzardCS fix the overwatch audio glitch on console please

  • EmiliyaTyan_AG EmiliyaTyan_AG (@EmiliyaTyan_AG) reported

    @xKingJTA @C2RSES Honestly I returned to overwatch and had fun 3-4 days ago. It's kinda the same as I remember. Slight broken, slight unfair and mostly dumb people playing it. With cool friends it would be as good as it was and for me, overwatch is still the same overwatch

  • U_ULantern ✧ Einnx ✧ (@U_ULantern) reported

    I think it's funny that the only reason why i rarely spend money on my special interests is because I did it for overwatch then i realized i had a gambling problem. also i don't care for skins anymore, i like grinding for stuff anyways

  • AJPlays05 AH (@AJPlays05) reported

    @infrarogue89 But they don’t…? Phil has already said Cod is staying multiplat. That’s all that really matters besides maybe Overwatch or maybe even Crash. Regardless, not that big of a deal.

  • jooster13 Lisa Burmeister (@jooster13) reported

    @CoryLaflin And hey, I used to crash out of Overwatch all the time. It happens. Gotta not get so down on yourself over it

  • LevyNeptoon I glued a block of wood to Jonny's foot (@LevyNeptoon) reported

    .....I think I'm gonna heat up my leftover Taco Bell and then play more Overwatch. I don't have a problem again, nuh uh
