  • TGHRobertHanes Robert “Sorenzen” Hanes (@TGHRobertHanes) reported

    I want to make it clear, I do love Overwatch and want it and the OWL to succeed in a big way. The problem is that neither the game nor the League are doing many things that make me confident that either will do what we all hoped they would.

  • WrinklyCastle WryCa (@WrinklyCastle) reported

    @RedshellOW legitimately. I used to think the problem with Overwatch characters was that blizzard didn't do enough to flesh them out, but now I see that every time they do anything it actually makes them worse.

  • AzstarLily Azzy Dazzle (@AzstarLily) reported

    Soooo the day of or day after the overwatch event starts i am gonna stream it!!! and also on sunday? most likely im gonna set up and nuzlocke pokemon ruby or emerald uwu unless i have problems with streaming software i am hoping to get back into streaming properly aaaaaa

  • YulitzG YulitzGaming (@YulitzG) reported

    @Aspen_OW Yooo idk why someone would hate on you ur a beast at overwatch ive watched ur streams. Enjoy the break and fix ur mentality but don't let idiots drag u down

  • AWildZomboe Darth Zomboe The Toxic (@AWildZomboe) reported

    Brig and Bap are not even a problem in Overwatch. It’s the ******* cracked GM and top 500 support players outplaying the same ranked dps players, and those dps players want something to complain about. Just because your favorite hero can’t outplay them doesn’t mean they’re op.

  • Lucio__txt AKA best Lúcio (@Lucio__txt) reported

    @VALKYRIEONLlNE you are my supervisor and immediate superior, mister winston is my boss. and if you want to change anything, you've got to talk to him. and seeing as i contribute 97% of Overwatch's operational budget... oh god, this is... actually a serious ethical problem, i should not do this

  • bluenomorre James Blunt Official (@bluenomorre) reported

    ppl on overwatch will complain about using the right pronouns but the second someone switches from winston to mercy they have no problem with pronouns all of a sudden

  • littlenob666 kaonashi (@littlenob666) reported

    @Vikkstar123 @sidemenupdated this overwatch system is a valve thing i guess cause this is also on csgo, it's something at least but does not fix the problem rn..

  • TimmyTechTV TimmyTechTV (@TimmyTechTV) reported

    @PugetMattBach This was a fix for a Overwatch hang a few years ago as well.

  • BansheeBearArts McFuckleberry (@BansheeBearArts) reported

    THE NEW OVERWATCH EVENT IS IN TWO DAYS AND THE COMPUTER I USE TO PLAY IS BROKEN AGAIN FML

  • Cheynese_ Cheyenne Crites (@Cheynese_) reported

    @OverwatchNaeri I'm not understanding. Is Ashe the huntress of tigers? Or does she have Tiger Bob to help her hunt in Overwatch? Because that's a real issue and endangerment in Asia.... It seems a bit distasteful.

  • JustBububu Bububu (@JustBububu) reported

    3rd time my overwatch replay won't download : ) please fix

  • Howl8610 Howl🌙 (@Howl8610) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN I have just been suspended on overwatch xbox because there a bug where if you reconnect a controller after turning it off it will say to reconnect controller still even tho I can control the rest of my xbox with it, I got kicked for afk coz of this, fix please!

  • MimicPone Aspen 🍃 (@MimicPone) reported

    @X95Boy I've watched overwatch streamers before now and then but my real problem with it is that I don't have the time or attention to sit down and consistently watch unedited raw livestreamed content for hours. I'd much rather just watch the stream highlights on YouTube later. :l

  • romishah25 Romi Shah (@romishah25) reported

    @blizzardgaming fix overwatch. Ir sucks

  • BlackedZiegler ♠𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓬𝔂♠ (@BlackedZiegler) reported

    ♠: I think i got whatever fix i needed to be honest. And now im just forcing a theme onto myself. So i think its time to set aside my Blacked days and persue something new within the Overwatch theme or whatever theme i decide to continue.

  • GTQCNumber1V Guillaume QcNumber1 (@GTQCNumber1V) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch I have notice a lot of high ping spike on Overwatch even with all the troubleshooting suggested done multiple player seems to get latency issues as if someone trying to DDoS but not fully. when you see 47ms go up to 2500ms and down it's unplayable

  • Qistibi André! ➰ (@Qistibi) reported

    @BannedKingPerc BRUH THIS IS SPECIFICALLY OVERWATCH COD AIN’T A PROBLEM I’M LITERALLY BAD TOO

  • AbbyAZK . (@AbbyAZK) reported

    @HermanHeffner It is a live service game, CS was not live service, you paid for a product that was completed and didn't get updated with time, Overwatch promised updates with time, maps, game modes, characters, etc. Others games now a days, just die out.

  • KILLEDGOD2020 💥 quint, triangle archwizard of LTT stan account (@KILLEDGOD2020) reported

    @anarcho_boy @Solidarity_Star i get shredded in overwatch pvp FPS are an ongoing problem

  • chefman470 Chefman470 (@chefman470) reported

    @IndigoBro2 @PlayApex This happen to me with OverWatch one time. Only way I could fix it is unstalling the whole game and reinstalling it. Apex could be corrupted.

  • mireille_ow ʚ mirei ɞ (@mireille_ow) reported

    i'm sure playing overwatch the whole night will fix my depression

  • Dankster_TV Dankster (@Dankster_TV) reported

    @Ki11ersix @embracergroup @GearboxOfficial Yeah, had a huge "looks like Overwatch" problem. Unfortunate

  • Yainte_ Yaint (@Yainte_) reported

    I've been holding 5k overwatch coins for like 2 years now waiting for another fan service skin...

  • yipo_yipo Wenseslao Moguel-o (@yipo_yipo) reported

    @crystalcali2010 @THEGUARDIAN_101 @soloman_bt I don't know if overwatch counts, but it is the place where more girls I have seen playing and I have never had any problem with it. I added one because she was the same country as I and I had a girl friend that tried it and they never encountered a problem.

  • SyrslyWasTaken (VR===true?'SyrslyVR':'Syrsly') (@SyrslyWasTaken) reported

    @Tsukinune @TheeBeardedBard Problem is Onward is military shooter 2006 and Echo is What If We Didn't Have Legs Space Soccer/Football 2017. We need Overwatch VR and Halo VR and so on.

  • kujikawaii 🍡 イーサン 🍡 Commissions Open! 🥐🌿💛 (@kujikawaii) reported

    Overwatch doing that **** again where they make their blonde white woman characters look Asian for a new years skin Do they not see....the problem w that when they have asian characters

  • knusperbanane Knusperbanane (@knusperbanane) reported

    @DanielFenner @holiwhirl Same Problem when i Play csgo for a few hours and then Return to overwatch

  • krcollectables Exa (@krcollectables) reported

    Spawn killing is 99% of my problem in Call of Duty and its ******* stupid. At least in Overwatch you can’t ******* win a game by the game’s RNG continuing to spawn you in the same spot and get easy kills for the enemy.

  • thepigletsquid Piglet Squid (@thepigletsquid) reported

    @NVIDIAGeForceUK @NVIDIAGeForce @nvidia why does Nvidia make it so difficult/impossible to roll back drivers? Never had this issue with AMD Radeon. Now I'm stuck, since your latest update is bugged and incapable of running Overwatch.
