    @Tobmoh @jade_the_shade9 No problem and Brigitte is basically the new generation of Overwatch heroes, so there not much to off on(Doesn't help that when she was release she was broken and people hated her for that)

  • ShugoVT 👾Shugo🔞 (@ShugoVT) reported

    Bought a new modem just in case bc ive been getting some omega lag in overwatch and tarkov, we shall see if it makes a difference

  • JimtheBurger James Allen (@JimtheBurger) reported

    @DeAdSHot_ZA @lowkeydbjosh Not to mention games like Overwatch 2 showing us the problems of a sequel to a live service game.

  • awesome_cosmic Cosmic Awesome (@awesome_cosmic) reported

    @MARCUS140000 @laracroftgf An image of an attractive woman playing what appears to be Overwatch on a desktop computer with the caption " Dear Males, gaming is for women ONLY! go play football and fix cars. Fine god or something. Stop ruining games for us woman."

  • b1adewo1f64 Gabriel Aganon (@b1adewo1f64) reported

    Overwatch 2 is not the only game to struggle with this btw. The decision to pick CBMM and SBMM (or any of the mash-ups in-between) is a crazy problem in many games and unfortunately won't be solved anytime soon 😞

  • Kitsuism Skye 🏳️‍⚧️ (@Kitsuism) reported

    Mercy is unhealthy to overwatch and she needs a fix or the game will only get worse. her damage amp blurs the lines between a hero being weak, balanced, and too strong her res is far too powerful where she can still pull it off while actively being shot or pushed away from them.

  • Foolspeare Foolspeare Impact (@Foolspeare) reported

    Lukewarm Overwatch take: putting NEW! on the shop tab every time you login when the only new stuff is the “just for you” overpriced garbage at the bottom actively disincentivizes players from even opening the tab

  • danteh danteh (@danteh) reported

    PLEASE PLEASE FIX RANKED PLZ I CAN'T HANDLE ONE MORE PLAT IN A T500 GAME PLZ MY MENTAL CAN'T DO THIS PLZ PLZ PLZ I'LL GO BACK TO SITTING IN 30 MIN PRACTICING BALL TECH PLZ OW PLZ THIS NOT RANKED THIS IS QUICKPLAY+ PLZ OVERWATCH PLZZZZZ THIS IS NOT FUN FOR ANYONE IN THE LOBBY

  • keiasamivt KeiAsami | Dommy Mommy Arc (@keiasamivt) reported

    @GKrackle its no different than buying a battlepass for overwatch, fornite or apex every 3 months, its a live service game that regularly gets updates and this is an extention to the story, that is not part of the "free 2 play" aspect of the game and never has been

  • nocmorii mori (@nocmorii) reported

    @imflavo Yeah these all make sense, I will continue to practice these things. Predicting too much might actually be the problem cause I have no shaking issue at all while tracking in overwatch n stuff

  • krystyynn K 🍄 (@krystyynn) reported

    Overwatch should give you one freebie when it comes to leaving in case you lag out… Smfh

  • OfficerMcruff Officer McRuff (SpiritStalker) (@OfficerMcruff) reported

    @DrewsLair I bet it will be! My internet is TRASH GARBAGE but it does fine. Overwatch will lag spike every 10 mins or so so that’s annoying but it’s not that bad

  • tonemalonetv tonemalonetv (@tonemalonetv) reported

    @BlizzardCS @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch please fix overwatch match making I’ve never raged so hard in game before.

  • kahoruise soap🔥 (@kahoruise) reported

    did they fix overwatch matchmaking yet bc im at 15-25 🤡

  • bonbontwitchl BonBon (@bonbontwitchl) reported

    Overwatch matchmaking has made the game genuinely unenjoyable. We have been complaining for days however it feels like they are not even taking their fans seriously. How is it possible such a big company fails to fix such a major issue?

  • Jocsea ethan (@Jocsea) reported

    Can overwatch ever fix their garbage skill based matchmaking just doesn’t make me feel like playing

  • WomenRespecter V (@WomenRespecter) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent my overwatch accounts won’t merge :( really don’t wanna lose my stuff from OW1 to OW2, please fix

  • Scratchy_Kitt Scratchy (Kitt) (@Scratchy_Kitt) reported

    @kylix98 Games like Fortnite, the new CODs, Overwatch, etc are the ones I have the most issue with. Their content is the Battle Pass primarily and they feel super predatory. They make games feel more like a list of chores you have to do in order to make your money worth it. Not Fun.

  • CrystalChloe5 CrystalChloe (@CrystalChloe5) reported

    @BradyOsborne13 @SophiaNarwitz Someone take this meme from this guy. The guy you're defending has an issue with Hogwarts Legacy because a transphobe gets money from it but plays Overwatch, a game made by a company with Saudi Arabian investors, who are transphobes. But that's "different", I guess.

  • Its_A_Bluebird Bluebird (@Its_A_Bluebird) reported

    OVERWATCH TEAM I AM SPEAKING DIRECTLY INTO YOUR EAR FIX THIS ******* GARBAGE MATCHMAKING BEFORE I GO PLAY PALADINS

  • DNo1432 DifficultyNo1432 (@DNo1432) reported

    Hey , I started shooting a video on the game , who can watch and advise what to do best. If anything write to me or in the comments. I will read everything and fix it.🤩 #Overwatch #Overwatch2 #Overwatchfanart

  • SisterRose_ Sister Rose (@SisterRose_) reported

    Support feels extra unfun right now in Overwatch. It's gobsmacking they somehow made it WORSE when it's been an ongoing issue. They ruined Mercy completely. She feels like **** to play, but she's still Meta because of her ridiculous low HP healing

  • invaderCharles Charlie Duffney (@invaderCharles) reported from Plymouth, Minnesota

    @mr_evaporation They should add crash bandicoot in overwatch.

  • MilkTeaOrbit MilkTeaWayRataxy 🐀 (@MilkTeaOrbit) reported

    It's so painful for me to have come from Overwatch, which was ignored for 3 years on a horrible meta, to now Splatoon 3, which has been refusing to fix its main issues for the entirety of its existence... why do game devs hate me? 🙃

  • TorshiwaseShai Raika 🍥 (@TorshiwaseShai) reported

    They really need to fix matchmaking in Overwatch 2. Ain't no way mid plats such as myself are being thrown against high Masters.

  • Di0rFairy_ Fae (@Di0rFairy_) reported

    Overwatch please fix matchmaking I literally dropped back into plat because I'm getting silvers in DIAMOND LOBBIES

  • crimsonOVT Law || Void "?" VT👾🌘🐇| REDEBUT ARC (@crimsonOVT) reported

    @HatenashiS theres the difficulty i think & an issue streamers in general have, not just vtubers. because youre right; you'd have to constantly be doing "new" stuff to hold on to that crowd. the other option would be "popular" ie overwatch/splatoon etc. & if not that, then what? 🤔

  • ___Chaotic Adam (@___Chaotic) reported

    the current state of overwatch ranked is in such ******* shambles and they're somehow making it worse with each time they 'fix' matchmaking

  • kanr0jii ・゚✧ mimi | 🦈🌸 (@kanr0jii) reported

  • matth3w676 Matthew (@matth3w676) reported
