  • BotWithOpinions Video Game Opinion Bot (@BotWithOpinions) reported

    There need to be more Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifles in video games

  • Njreeson Noah (@Njreeson) reported

    @PlayStation you owe a free ps5 if you don’t fix your system in 5 mins who does maintenance at 1 pm in the middle of the day look at a game such as overwatch they always do maintenance in the middle of the night aka 4 am and they don’t get any complaints they also notify the fans

  • 300mgMDMAwario female to sigma male (@300mgMDMAwario) reported

    i had a dream that widowmaker from overwatch was just sniping into my house and shooting us and my dog ran out there and bit her. and she ziplined away. and then i got in trouble with animal control because my pit bull bit a woman even though she was trying to gun me down.

  • KaticMakenna what is even going on here... (@KaticMakenna) reported

    @GHSTagony @EskayOW imagine thinking that ONLY specific character players are toxic and are the problem with overwatch XD XD XD XD

  • pussyhitler Ashley: Rated PG-13 (@pussyhitler) reported

    @mingus_man Overwatch’s balance team just had no clue what they were doing, there was no intent to hype new seasons or characters by making them broken. League did exactly that and Daniel Z Klein was a dev on league during the time they did that

  • OctaneCaptain Captain Octane (@OctaneCaptain) reported

    @Respawn @PlayApex Slowly losing my faith in Papa Respawn just like Overwatch had me hooked but eventually fell into my rarely played section. At least fix Titanfall 2 and start developing 3 and make it good. Wellp heres praying Battlefield and Halo are good otherwise it might time quit gaming 😭

  • DaddlyPapa Dad (@DaddlyPapa) reported

    Fix Overwatch 2 though!

  • genlus602 ItsGenlus (@genlus602) reported

    @KwlxBear I'm playing Overwatch now (I know it has its problems, but I feel like its in better state than Apex). Titanfall 2 is a good too, but its DDOSed again

  • binaryproblem The Revival of Savage Park 🦁 (@binaryproblem) reported

    Monday: The Grind I stream games that have a ranked system, battle passes or are loot based towards an end game goal. Overwatch, Destiny 2, Apex, FO76, Diablo III. These are usually games that run as a service or have a competitive scene.

  • ryrybot RoboRyan (@ryrybot) reported

    Papa Johns is I have a problem I would love me in Overwatch time to uninstall again

  • GangMinako MinakoShoe (SMTV/Metroid/Halo/Battlefield Hype) (@GangMinako) reported

    @dakcity_ So whole it has issues, it doesn't fall into Overwatch's hellhole of it's non-existent lore?

  • Amkaebby Amkaebby (@Amkaebby) reported

    I’m holding on for a sliver of hope that Blizzard will fix Overwatch or give it to a different company.

  • CrashRatchet008 CrashRatchet008 💎 (@CrashRatchet008) reported

    A day off of Twitch won't change anything. They're backed by Amazon. If you think this move will make them concerned, you're wrong. They'll just take action over issues that don't exist. Just like Activision Blizzard did with Overwatch.

  • DavidSubiReX David (@DavidSubiReX) reported

    @PlayOverwatch The problem of overwatch is the gameplay, not how many maps it has. Stop adding non-interesting contents and improve the game.

  • BLADE_ok BLADE_ok (@BLADE_ok) reported

    @it_your_sam @Chojinki Bad idea. Playing #Overwatch on something you can throw is just asking for trouble. I play on PC but I’m pretty sure PlayStation and Xbox controller sales tripled since May 2016.

  • NoobsMatterOKAY NoobsMatterOKAY (@NoobsMatterOKAY) reported

    @alebobwa15 @Respawn @PlayApex not to be rude but Fortnite is .3, cod is .3, overwatch is .3 and I've played controller for about ehh 4 years prior to switching to m&k for the past years,and it's so hard compared to the roller I go from yeah I'm a decent player to IM A ******* GOD on roller so its kinda broken

  • ArcflameArcanum Arcflame Arcanum @HonkaiImpact/GenshinImpact (@ArcflameArcanum) reported

    @ottservia Also it's really clear when a character/couple is genuinely gay or gay for the sake of fan service. For an example of the former check out 13 Sentinels. For an example of the latter, man idk. Every Overwatch character or something.

  • CalebGamerOW Proto VI (@CalebGamerOW) reported

    @LaggyOw @StormAccetta @PlayOverwatch The only problem is that those new maps were specifically designed for the 5v5 changes and with the new engine in mind for Overwatch 2 so I don't think they would want to do that and wait to release all of those maps at once when the sequel comes out.

  • ExoGhost_ ExoGhost (@ExoGhost_) reported

    @notlocalshut @El_Karlangas69 Yeah, I don't notice delays either. That doesn't mean that they're not there. Modern Warfare itself is an unoptimized game with at least 20ms more input lag than Overwatch. Do I notice that? No. But it's there

  • pngdotjpeg Xylophone (@pngdotjpeg) reported

    @OverwatchTXT Honestly, it might be too late. After the ridiculously long content drought, and then the lawsuit coming out against the corporation that owns it, most people are really put off from Overwatch right now. I might buy it if they fix their **** a bit

  • nanojiraTTV nanojira (@nanojiraTTV) reported

    @RSPN_JayBiebs It's starting to look like you guys are gonna pull an Overwatch where you develop yourselves into a corner that you can't get out of. Then there's all these other stability issues with the game. To someone like me it seems like your priorities are upside down.

  • TimCrow68661485 Tim Crowley (@TimCrow68661485) reported

    @basisspace @GardenPathWA Mr. McDonald here is aist of current exploits/cheats in use as of August 2021: Where the is server lagger/crasher fix? Why is VAC bypass a thing? Why can you grab IPs from people in your lobby? Why is Overwatch completely useless?

  • bobby41200 Bobby Thompson (@bobby41200) reported

    @BenniBanxx @PlayStation My GF was having the same issue. She decided for the hell of it to try Overwatch on disc. It worked. Might be back up in some areas cause the game is full of players.

  • dokipilled ♡doki♡ (@dokipilled) reported

    "just how broken are you doki?" i can recite the entire overwatch opening cinematic from memory

  • HRHDorianFrost His Royal Highness Prince Elector Dorian Frost (@HRHDorianFrost) reported

    @BlizzardCS Dear Blizzard Support, I am having issues logging onto Overwatch via Xbox. I am getting a BC-101 code. I have reset my console, reset my router, uninstalled the game, and reinstalled the game, nothing has worked. I have submitted a ticket but it has been 48 hours.

  • SuperdickFatLol Mike (@SuperdickFatLol) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch STFU and fix your game. It sucks playing this ****. Uninstalling and never playing again go fuckyourself

  • DavidsonOsawaru Davidson Osawaru (@DavidsonOsawaru) reported

    @Cremede87876385 @SonOfGarry @OWAnonymous_ I don’t have a problem with NA as a region. It’s just you can’t really say that it’s an International League when 13 teams out of 20 are based in NA alone, especially considering the international reach of Overwatch. Like I said 4 franchise leagues would be better

  • SickinatorD Damon (@SickinatorD) reported

    I just tried it with a different PS4 game (Splitgate) and it works? Why is Overwatch specifically not working?

  • oxtonbot lena (@oxtonbot) reported

    Overwatch-players really had an outage,

  • Jonatha94144572 Jonathan (@Jonatha94144572) reported

    @Rawrious819 We just need the devs to polish everything and make the UI look more modern. And just a patch where they fix 80% of the bugs would instantly make this game better than Overwatch
