  • utena11221 EJSN🦋Ready For Heaven or Hella📷 (@utena11221) reported

    I have a problem. Overwatch is a problem.

  • Ejsponge61 Emmett Watkins Jr's Mamma Said Knock You Out (@Ejsponge61) reported

    @Frame_loss I mean, all of its monetary elements are cosmetic only, which is how every game from Overwatch to Apex does it. If it was $60 I'd see issue with it but at $20 I think it's fine. Plus if it stays popular as it is now, it'll probably go the Rocket League route & hot F2P eventually

  • disorderlydr Dr. Min (@disorderlydr) reported

    @Succinct_Punchy It's a great concept and yes, compelling despite it's issues (of which there's a lot imo). Plus there's not really much of an (better) equivalent to really go to. I currently have the same issue with Overwatch (not it being a **** game, but the lack of any real updates until ow2)

  • trashwarden ange 🐍 @ playing MELE (@trashwarden) reported

    happy 5th overwatch anniversary ive finally learned how to fix torbjorn turret instead of, you know, punching it for years and wondering why it doesn’t work for me

  • Meelz93 Meelz 🎸🎶 (@Meelz93) reported

    Oh I just found recent footage of Overwatch 2 PVP and wow what a letdown. There was a gigantic opportunity to rework the game from a fundamental level and they didn't take it. There are so many problems at its very core and they're being ignored lmfao

  • vtNaruru Naru-ru ⚔ || Sword VTuber (@vtNaruru) reported

    @SkylerReach To be fair tho overwatch is hard to watch it's been a problem with the game for a while, it's a complete mess to watch even for people that do know what's going on

  • mattvideogaming matt (@mattvideogaming) reported

    @vooCSGO 1. Better Anticheat that doesn't rely on signatures that can be extremely easily spoofed. Also make overwatch actually work. 2. Fix random stutters and broken textures 3. Maybe better ui for server selector and demoui I feel like 128 tick is completely unnecessary here.

  • somethingguy912 Ten Years Of Something (@somethingguy912) reported

    @danekevincook @CumminHamLewds Ok, so when the diamondback gets nerfed, it was just in interest of the 'skill ceiling'? Be ause if so, that would only give spy only 2 useful primaries. Then, they'll do the same for the L'etranger. See the problem with that mindset? Overwatch balancing.

  • Izaiiiyah Izaiiyah (@Izaiiiyah) reported

    @Activision you know sbmm isn't fun right? But you want us to have fun? Yeah... Okay mate. Your matchmaking is more broken than Overwatch's is.

  • kurisubrooks Kurisu (@kurisubrooks) reported

    @XAlien88 I mainly play League, but have recently started playing Overwatch again. The problem is that I don’t find games fun unless they’re multiplayer and I’m playing with someone that I know 😔

  • LambdaCore5 Lambda Core (@LambdaCore5) reported

    @Ascend_Hyperion My problems with modern Halo have absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Cod, Fortnite and Overwatch did certain things meaning it's illegal for Halo to do these things, otherwise I wouldn't play firefight. Wish more people would understand this, it'd make this a lot easier

  • ZhealOW Zhe ♡︎ (@ZhealOW) reported

    Bro i’m sick of the Overwatch players who say “I’m only doing this for passes” zz I’m sorry but this ruins the fun for everybody else who genuinely wants to win and get SR. Blizzard fix your game :-/

  • DADDYANA4 DADDY ANA ! (@DADDYANA4) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Even Better Take: Overwatch should have something in place where players don't get punished if they just randomly get kicked out due to network issues, and instead of saying "__ player left the game" it would say "__ player disconnected"

  • Mangosvibin Mangos (@Mangosvibin) reported

    @pelicanfn_ I started playing the game 2 weeks before and tried playing scrims but prac didn’t run. Meanwhile you played overwatch during the 3 weeks of fncs, didn’t vod review or fix the mistakes you did, and you’ve tossed the past 2-3 cash cups early game😭

  • TheDimmeh Miss Dimmeh Looming (@TheDimmeh) reported

    @Sisslethecat I HATE the fact I missed it live. I was playing Overwatch at the time and my friends were watching it and I just heard. "Oh some sorta spooky game. Maybe a new Outlast kinda thing? Oh it's Resident Evil! That's really c.... Why did you disconnect from Overwatch???"

  • visserdesigns Visser (@visserdesigns) reported

    For some reason, I'm having fps problems in overwatch, tried a bunch of different settings, but can't figure out what to do. my specs should be more than good enough to run this game greatly. Anyone know what I could do?

  • matthew_kucik 오하요 metiu (@matthew_kucik) reported

    the problems i have with overwatch is with the players and not the game

  • manulotto 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮 (@manulotto) reported

    I got to meet someone nice in Overwatch for once. They were nice, at first. They got extra flirty with me besides me stating that I wanted friendship. They asked me for my Instagram, and then blocked me right after on Discord and the game. This is exactly why I have trust issues

  • MysticNecklace 𝒟𝒶𝓃𝓃𝓎 (@MysticNecklace) reported

    @TherealF18 Lagging ruins the experience every time especially for Overwatch also

  • Cosada_ 🏳️‍🌈Gaymer Tony🏳️‍🌈 (@Cosada_) reported

    Well that's some bad shat Played an arcade game across the mode change and didn't get any credit towards the weekly counts Also 9 arcade games played (8 wins, 1 defeat) and only earned one of the anniversary weekly's and 7/9 to a second Please fix @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch

  • striky117 No MNK on console police (@striky117) reported

    @vooCSGO Fix vac and overwatch, make bhoping less luck based and more skill based (+raising speed cap to 330), 128 tick servers

  • Tse7se_OW poo (@Tse7se_OW) reported

    bro wtf is happening my ping is normal but it feels like im lagging when i play overwatch and apex how do i fix

  • RosettaDane Rosetta sas Dane (@RosettaDane) reported

    @LizardSAMXIV Blizzard have no respect for their customers and their playerbase, it's why I stopped playing WoW. I've not had as many issues with Overwatch, despite the usual balance problems.

  • Cosada_ 🏳️‍🌈Gaymer Tony🏳️‍🌈 (@Cosada_) reported

    Well that's some bad shat Played an arcade game across the mode change and didn't get any credit towards the weekly counts Please fix @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch

  • chicken1781 winston player (@chicken1781) reported

    Bro the fact i actually get told you were gonna kill yourself over console overwatch blows my mind like damn something i haven’t played much at all since last year was gonna make me kill myself in march i def have no other irl problems.

  • VampyrealGaming Vampyreal - Horror V-Tuber (LUNA) (@VampyrealGaming) reported

    23,000 damage in a 14 minute game playing Echo. She’s broken. #Overwatch

  • ZilliGames ZillixGames (@ZilliGames) reported

    @NiaCatx Overwatch fixing something? That's your problem lol

  • junkratsbf tom/carlilse/ollie | jamison fawkes my beloved (@junkratsbf) reported

    Half the time idk if I'm dreaming or not or if I just thought about something or if I did it. My memory is so ****** abd it gets me into so much trouble but I'm not going, I'm too tired mentally and I can't get out of bed to play overwatch

  • noctileonor Dioxazine:666🌸🌙 (@noctileonor) reported

    The boy can have a lot of character crushes on OW but the only way a girl can have a crush is if we have some daddy issues (or other issues). @PlayOverwatch please fix this #Overwatch #OverwatchFanart

  • DeltaFireexx M Δ D D I E 🐐 (@DeltaFireexx) reported

    @craftydemon09 its a bandaid fix on a serious overwatch problem. Removing one tank because blizzard can’t balance tanks is not the way to go, actually listening to the pros is the way to go but blizzard truly don’t give a **** lmao
