Bean (@BenOst52) reportedUninstalled Marvel Rivals. The state that the game is in right now is somehow less fun than 5v5 Overwatch. I can't do this anymore. Wake ******** up dev team. Fix your damn game.

Kevin, Local Machu Appreciator (@CCharmanderK) reported@OWAnonymous_ If you think the leaver issue in Overwatch is bad, go play Halo Infinite sometime. It's ten times worse over there.
-
Jar Boy (@JarBoy15) reported@DrValince @DelusionPosting @Asmongold Even successful games get dumped cus of wokeness. Look at overwatch. Instead of fixing issues and making the game better they kept trying to deflect outrage and complaints by outing another character as gay
-
dricky (@dricky2011) reported@tazalotl1981 @NigelMcKinney Most of the time it's not possible to vet people properly, so a stringent overwatch of these people needs to be implemented, if they want to enter they should have no problem giving finger print and DNA samples
-
noponpotential (@noponpotential) reported@tea_arttt The known issues list on the overwatch bug report forums
-
FLUFFY 🧡🤍 GENJI TALIS CEO ✨ (@genjitalis) reportedoverwatch keeps crashing cuz of circuit royale map, anyone else having the same issues? 😭😭😭
-
Sykii (@Sykii_) reported@Bloomzor @DumbsYT @Necrit94 I tried to argument it further on another answer. The problem is that I don't know why does he say that so I can't really fight it with arguments, from my perspective league is not on a bad spot and has been on way worse ones. Like overwatch or Fortnite release
-
elias ✧ deltarune spoilers (tagged) (@herlockkisser) reporteddoes anyone else have this problem with overwatch where all the ui just disappears out of nowhere. it only ever happens to me in competitive games,, i hit no hotkeys or anything and shift+tab to pull up the steam thing doesn't fix it. am i just built to be an unranked warrior
-
Aaron (@aaronreading) reportedFor the first time since launch, Overwatch has pissed me off so bad that I've uninstalled the game. @PlayOverwatch please for the love of god fix your matchmaking. This is abysmal. I love this game. I want to play it. I'm having ZERO fun with how it's set up currently.
-
Nicholas 🇬🇷 (@nicvis986) reportedAbout to go to target to spend $60 that I don’t have on an Xbox controller to see if the issue with my overwatch game is fixed by getting a new one.
-
Dwight (@dwight_shoda) reported@Rambo_Hair @GermanStrands that was hardly the issue, from what i saw the game itself ran fine. it was probably the most optimized hero shooter ive seen. very little problems. the biggest issue was character design, marketing and 8 years too late for hero shooters when Overwatch 2 fails to draw a crowd
-
E nigma (@Inscryptioner) reported@j_step21 Hot take, but Concord wasn't 'terrible' as a game. The issue was, it was just Overwatch but slower. The lore was pretty decent, and it seems someone put effort into that. It's just a shame the character designs were so piss poor and it brought nothing new to the table
-
hailey !! (@yawolii) reportedare overwatch servers down??
-
Paperboy (@Reniru1337) reported@Roszaii Thats the Problem with this whole „OW Porn is bigger then the Game itself“ Overwatch will never recover from that and will always have that Title. Normal conversations are nearly impossible for this Game and Characters
-
talie (@rasbprrry) reportedwhy does overwatch constantly have the “the server closed due to an unexpected error” bug. FIX YOUR GAME PLEASE
-
Matthew McDonald (@Matthew38236187) reported@BlizzardCS one game of overwatch competitive I'd like to not play a team of all people on new accounts who are smurfing. Literally is a problem yet you guys don't address it. Ruins my experience playing and never can progress even at low ranks of competitive
-
Revvy :3 || ceo of Hanzo || writing comms open (@hanzohannie) reportedProblems of an Overwatch multishipper: - someone likes a ship you like - they dislike a ship you like - contemplate whether you should interact or not
-
kat :3 (@HugeTiddyGothGf) reportedI’m going to crash out from the queue times on overwatch. This isn’t the first time I’m complaining about it. Istg if the game doesn’t rise from the dead and get some people into my games I will go insane.
-
notoriginal (@DovydasDovis3) reported@KingKaiCUCOO @RivalsLeaks personally it feels bad to play compared to Overwatch (let’s say it’s a direct competitor), maybe cause it’s 3rd person or cause of the performance issues but it does not play anywhere near as smooth as Overwatch does
-
pretend 𓅂 mirrors ♫ (@earthklaans) reported@PotNoodleOW i had my first crash in 8 years of Overwatch as well last week. the process stopped responding & locked my desktop so hard I had to make a new desktop to bring up task manager & kill it.
-
jay ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ (watching wano) (@heartedxo) reportednot working today so imma rot on overwatch and valorant
-
Twright (@Twright20XX) reported@SamitoFPS @MarvelRivals Support is always a problem in every game Overwatch League Rivals Unite Always the most brain dead and broken role.
-
HaloiOi (@Juicebox343GS) reported@HubPointless Also if there were ever a topic not spoken about enough, it's this exact issue here. Counter Strike, Overwatch, Valorant, Doom is basically Halo 3 customs with player speed at 150%! Sprint is a gimmick that's fun, but it was never Halo's core experience. Halo 3 was that in spades
-
Hectermancer (@hectermage) reported@Pirat_Nation And I'll double down in not caring about any of Sony's live service games, until they make something more interesting then another Apex Legends, and Overwatch clone.
-
Baridorielor Silvershadow 🏴☠️ (@Baridorielor) reported@JackyRaider @TheActMan_YT @ShitpostRock And given the circles TheActMan runs in, they should knew that, since they are the ones saying it, while still playing their games like Overwatch, acting like their cool now just because they paid lip service to the idea of being sorry... 😒
-
images (@darknite0) reportedBe careful playing comp on Overwatch as Rialto is bugged and will crash your game. Please fix or remove the map. It's just comp rules that crashes the game @PlayOverwatch
-
