  • camaropharaoh E-Solo (@camaropharaoh) reported

    Converting numbers with my son... I’ve played #Overwatch for at least 45 days...Straight... I might have a problem.

  • LargeHogMan Epic Roadhog Facts (@LargeHogMan) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Epic Roadhog Fact: If your ego is so fragile that you can’t even be bothered to accept the fact that you lose sometimes, and that all your teammates are human and can make mistakes, you are the problem with Overwatch’s toxicity. I hope all you bastards get filtered out in OW2.

  • TheRealDino76 Kyle (@TheRealDino76) reported

    @SamitoFPS I gotta get back into playing Overwatch, just been stuck with either trash teammates never healing me or saying to group up with them then leave me to die. Then I get blamed for losing, am I the only one who has this problem?

  • TheBeefLord TheBeefLord🍔🪑 (@TheBeefLord) reported

    @MxnstrAshe It's not only that, people should show their disgust about it by not supporting the games that do nothing to fix such things because they know 90% of their communities are toxic. That's why I stopped playing LoL, Valorant and Overwatch, all of them toxic af.

  • INVISIBLESIMMS ⚯͛ ☂︎ conn⁷ | 15 days | JJK1 (@INVISIBLESIMMS) reported

    my laptop didn’t lag overwatch and now i kinda wanna play....practice bc im horse **** on pc....overwatch

  • mizliz_ Liz Richardson (@mizliz_) reported

    It's been like three minutes and Gladiators and Boston have turned Lijiang Tower into a round of Tiny Overwatch HIT Q NO PROBLEMS

  • drachenheart Tomo Umaoka (@drachenheart) reported

    Overwatch sober just doesn’t feel right unlike playing Fighting games. Im a problem but it’s one that I must do to enjoy that game with the toxicity I face

  • calvinnguyen212 calvin (@calvinnguyen212) reported

    @_megito @DotEsports Couple of weird leaps here fans in league are mostly fans of players not teams. The problem with overwatch wasn’t that it didn’t have region locking it was the fact the game was out for the 6 months they basically banned the grass roots scene and went straight to franchising

  • Turtlee_OW Turtle 🇮🇪 (@Turtlee_OW) reported

    @jollyradtime i played it for like 3 months straight from the start of the beta and i enjoyed it but stopped playing because overwatch meta was starting to be better at that time, Sounds like a you problem

  • nonbinarymood Animem (@nonbinarymood) reported

    @catluvr817 idk if u have access to a pc, but I played overwatch on my PlayStation and switched to PC. It is MUCH better there, and I have a feeling (?) that the Switch might have problems with frame rate.

  • _megito meg kay (@_megito) reported

    @calvinnguyen212 @DotEsports I'd say I know more fans of teams than fans of players in league, but I definitely agree that moving too fast was a big factor in overwatch's problems- however, that doesn't mean that a lack of regional identity wasn't also an issue!

  • BotWithOpinions Video Game Opinion Bot (@BotWithOpinions) reported

    Resident Evil 4 is only uninteresting because it has Insect Swarm Plasmids and a lazily designed Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle

  • WhittandWhimsy Jesse Whitt (@WhittandWhimsy) reported

    @AskPlayStation Customer care is closed for the night. I attempted, futilely, with a rep to get a problem solved. I’ve been unable to play/download my copy of Overwatch: Origins Edition on my PS5. Could you please help?

  • catluvr817 ً (@catluvr817) reported

    @nonbinarymood i have a pc but i try to limit gaming on there until i get a proper gaming chair bc i have the worstttt back problems /: i have heard better things abt overwatch on pc tho <3

  • KxttyGames ᴋ x ᴛ ᴛ ʏ (@KxttyGames) reported

    i jump way too goddamn much when i play overwatch lmao like it is a problem. sometimes i think it gets me killed rather than helping me stay alive 😬

  • DBShovel D.B. Shovel ☮️ (@DBShovel) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Idea. New accounts for #overwatch should have to play to rank 100 in a pool of 100 and below ranked players to stop this smurf problem.

  • biggestsonicfan SaltyFreeman (@biggestsonicfan) reported

    I... can... not... get Overwatch to crash again... I feel like someone sabbotaged my computer just enough until I got the ban and it isn't fun anymore...

  • TheKristenRae Kris🌙 (@TheKristenRae) reported

    Finally finished fixing my PC - OBS kept lagging and randomly crashing when I would tab in/out of Overwatch. Ended up reformatting all my drives and essentially rebuilding my entire PC from the ground up. Very grateful I have smart, patient friends. Streams start back tomorrow!

  • Ethmlee Lee (@Ethmlee) reported

    Danyal actually got banned for a month for abusive chat in overwatch for ear ****** at the end of a game meanwhile the blatant cheater I played against is still playing comp. Blizzard please fix your ban priority

  • flameirl Matt Rodriguez (@flameirl) reported

    At its core the biggest problem with Overwatch for me is the fact you literally cannot play with your friends if your rankings are too delta'ed. A gm player trying to game with their gold BFF is literally pushed to play another game

  • Slippies4 SwaggyDude03 (@Slippies4) reported

    @ItsHashtagBoy @CB4Smash Crash Bandicoot all the way. At this point, I don't care if Spyro, Ratchet, Sora, Master Chief, Doom guy, a TF2 representative, or even an Overwatch representative gets in. Crash Bandicoot is definitely next for sure. But I do have hopes for Waluigi.

  • E3kHatena E3kHatena (@E3kHatena) reported

    Tony Hawk narrated each round for some reason, and Team Crash had unlockable Activision characters like Nikolai from CoD Zombies, an Orc from Warcraft, Mei & Reaper from Overwatch, & the bloke from Candy Crush. The worst part is playing online cost a currency called "brine". 4/7

  • cadaver_x cadaver. (@cadaver_x) reported

    @ConnorJordanIRL i think one of my biggest issues with “high skilled players” is that they say how they feel and their word is taken as gospel when a vast majority of players are casual. it makes the game look bad and by comparing it to overwatch, turns it it into something it’s not

  • AcidTech2 AcidTech (@AcidTech2) reported

    @Julia_CaSsian Same, I mentioned such to Cohh when he announced playing but feel like an douche for saying it. , Too many live service things defeat the purpose of them > "Pride & Accomplishment" in a game designed to never end with a last level: Overwatch for example relies on FOMO for skins

  • ghostfacenjoyer amanda (@ghostfacenjoyer) reported

    trying to fix sims 2 while dryunk caise äi dont wanna play dbd or overwatch not a good idea

  • Snackztf snackztf (@Snackztf) reported

    @heyimhanzo @Jay3OW U counter a dumb hero by making an even dumber ******* hero, brig. The issue with Blizzard is they try to make something fun and flashy without realizing they basically have a ******* moba FPS and they have refused to treat overwatch like one since release.

  • MarkLundie1 Mark Lundie (@MarkLundie1) reported

    @DawidPatryk666 @12iWander They probably weren’t talking about crash bandicoot though. They were talking about blizzard games like overwatch. Crash is different and after CTR success they don’t need to do that.

  • JCFart Joseph Faill (@JCFart) reported

    Third times the charm. Got kicked off Overwatch twice. Once for internet issue and second for gpu update.

  • ConnorJordanIRL Connor Jordan (@ConnorJordanIRL) reported

    @cadaver_x But ultimately, that’s the point, it’s not overwatch, so having caustic gas tick at 12 damage a second through shields is ******* brutal when you add that to someone who doesn’t miss, the game becomes very difficult. The high skill players notice problems first, that’s all

  • _lilnosferatu 👑 KIARA 💀🦇❤️ #ENVtuber (@_lilnosferatu) reported

    @Zam_The_Zombaby Sorry to hear that! In case it could help you though, sometimes adjusting some settings in your stream software (like OBS) can actually let you stream a game without the lag or loss of frames! ;w; I was really sad when I tried streaming Overwatch or FFXIV and it lagged hard (...)
