  • notmireille miri (@notmireille) reported

    Just wanna play genshin and it keeps saying connection failed despite my internet being no issue gg overwatch it is i guess

  • k_harson Benjamin K. Harson (@k_harson) reported

    @WARFAREMCHINE @L0SSY How is this an overwatch operator? Also, Falck doesn't even look like a person, she suffers from the same problem as old Weyland which makes her look 100 times uglier than anyone you would find when you google middle aged woman.

  • Seur101 Seur (@Seur101) reported

    As an Overwatch player I always felt it was odd competing at a high level against full contenders level teams who were all online. Unless there is serious financial/medical issues with proof players shouldn’t be allowed to play online imo. Collegiate is t3 not t2.

  • IQextracted IQ extractor (@IQextracted) reported

    @IvanFKaramazovT An example I can give is Overwatch. They make mistakes constantly, but the blowback doesnt seem as bad (generally), because they are very fast to fix it compared to bungie. (In my opinion)

  • stryato alex was at dreamcatcher :( (@stryato) reported

    Im still confused what stops overwatch from taking valorant direction, keep everything the same but then pick a certain place for the teams to travel. Maybe visa but thats no problem in val, idk

  • ProjectXbox17 Xbox 007 (@ProjectXbox17) reported

    @KaizerAllen @AbdulTheArabGuy @mr_evaporation Basically big service based games like COD Warzone and Overwatch 2. They'll probably keep COD on Playstation but a new Diablo after 4, or a new Crash, Spyro, Tony Hawk will absolutely be exclusive

  • UglyKeyb MrKeyb (@UglyKeyb) reported

    @ItsBazerker @SilentDangan @PlayXDefiant Imagine overwatch tank controls but cod time to kill but long respawns but people spam jump and shoot with 100 percent accuracy and people under the map kill you constantly and most games end in an error and you have to open the game all over again to find a match. Want it now?

  • Forbidden_MAGE Forbidden_MAGE (@Forbidden_MAGE) reported

    can anyone that streams overwatch tell me how to fix the settings in obs or game because I don't want to cap my fps in game to 60 just to have smooth gameplay what do I have to adjust ? #playoverwatch #Overwatch

  • vjshadow09 precursor vj ᵇˡᵐ❁ (@vjshadow09) reported

    random "Rendering device has been lost" error after restarting the game my cpu usage on overwatch was going up to 80% for like 5 mins what the hell now its back down to 3%

  • Megamgstudios MegaMGstudios💙💛 (@Megamgstudios) reported

    [3] What's a bit weird is that the loading screen for the practise range is still from early Overwatch one, but that's not a big issue. The new engine (I presume) does make the lighting a bit nicer, but it's not really noticeable after a bit.

  • Teckatloz Collen (@Teckatloz) reported

    @ExpandDong15 Traer and Widowmaker could be very broken but, to be honest, I wouldn't mind if we have an Overwatch rep

  • Thatoneguy02561 Thatoneguy0256 (@Thatoneguy02561) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I just bought overwatch 2 and it refuses to let me login in wtf

  • ImFeelingBleu Bleu (@ImFeelingBleu) reported

    Okay how does Crash 4 compare to the remakes? Cause this is the most frustrated I've been over a video game since ******* Overwatch and League and those are PvP games

  • SUGAblunt sarah⁷🌿💨 (@SUGAblunt) reported

    thinking about playing Overwatch again as an outlet for my ranger and frustration my brain won't normally let me feel but that game just makes me snap I could get 5 years issues out in a single match I bet

  • minseghim - (@minseghim) reported

    i wanna play overwatch but my dads computer is broken 😕

  • digitalspork Lianna | Spork 🌿 (@digitalspork) reported

    @ImHerbiie Oh definitely. Honestly, they just need to lean heavy into some serious Anti-Cheat whatever proprietary system Blizzard is using, is not working out for Overwatch.

  • junkyleech Jesse (@junkyleech) reported

    @ColonelMusturd @assfuckem Don’t you have a broken overwatch league bracket to cry over ?

  • joaquiniv_ joaquinxgg (@joaquiniv_) reported

    True gamers intuitively play over the games that are experiencing staleness. I just knew to switch over to overwatch recently and i’m seeing Apex crumbling with server issues and a boring *** rank split of world’s redundant edge.

  • 1v1pussy 𑁍 𑁍 𑁍 𑁍 𑁍 (@1v1pussy) reported

    Someone ddos me on Overwatch wth

  • assfuckem Gods favorite (@assfuckem) reported

    @ColonelMusturd Don’t you have a broken overwatch league bracket to cry over

  • K1NGKYO Kyo ☆ B•L•M (@K1NGKYO) reported

    i need a new game to be obsessed with that doesn't hurt my hands or make me wanna throw my PC out the window. also not looking forward to overwatch 2. bc mercy will probably still be broken. also why am i ******* awake?!?! D:<

  • SPRINGLOCK217 the springlock (1732 days, no tf2 updates) (@SPRINGLOCK217) reported

    dawg i haven’t even broken the 40 likes threshold (not even 30 for all but one) on a single sfm since the last tf2 and overwatch ones what ******** happened to me lmao

  • K_Lemonz Kat (: (@K_Lemonz) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Hello. I bought the OW 2 beta, but I have not been able to access since Monday. I uninstalled, and reinstalled, reset my router but nothing worked. All my other games including overwatch 1 work fine. It's been inaccessible followed by an error: unable to login.

  • BRASSKNUCKL3S 〘 Sett 〙 (@BRASSKNUCKL3S) reported

    //please I just wanna play overwatch stop lagging my game.

  • Anubirai Anubirai (@Anubirai) reported

    If you're having issues converting from the expansion back to regular Overwatch's sensitivity, try turning it up by 0.50. Worked wonders for me. #Overwatch #Overwatch2 #overwatchsensitivity

  • porkussy_book pig e_books (@porkussy_book) reported

    hey i want her to ******* play Overwatch I get reminded that they made a fuckton of the roster unfun to play Destiny 2, I just hope my computer doesn't have issues running it.

  • Jake_The_Silent Jacob McClendon (🎙/🎨) (@Jake_The_Silent) reported

    Multiversus is decent so far, but man, I feel like it suffers the same problem as Overwatch where I just can't tell what the hell is going on sometimes. That might be a me problem, but I feel like it could do with the ability to minimize some of the effects.

  • SoloZen_OW SoloZen (@SoloZen_OW) reported

    @madsiesss @B3rt_ssbu @b0gur I can confirm support feels weak in overwatch 2, it seems like they’re trying to fix it. But atm having one less tank means your frontline is near non existent and it’s the enemies job to kill you and target you. It’s like I’m playing main tank but without the 600 health.

  • YeetBsbakery ☀️Yeetbread☀️ (@YeetBsbakery) reported

    @Awesauce1YT Not to mention it would’ve been an insult to both Actiblizz and the FPS genre as a whole if an Overwatch character got in because people want Crash infinitely more than anything from Overwatch from Actiblizz and everyone wants Doomslayer in as the FPS rep. Luckily Doom won.

  • jjobaku 𓅂•ᛃᛃᛟ 𓆗 ᛒᚨᚴᚢ•𓃵 (@jjobaku) reported

    anyone else get hooked and forget it’s not overwatch and totally disconnect even though you were totally dead already and now you’re tweeting cause of the time ban wtf this is really stupid behavior lol and yet i can still spectate, that’s some **** lol
