  @FACEIT I can't connect my Overwatch game to my Faceit account? Every time I try it says my preference setting for sharing game data is still being processed. I made my Faceit account hours ago. It says please try again later, but I waited hours and tried again. Same error. Why?

  @trabucooo1 @OverwatchNaeri Yeah that’s kiriko, and everyone agrees its an issue, but she is basically overwatch’s poster girl and also i thoight u didnt care about skins.. so why are u speaking so much on skins now if they add nothing to the game?

  @arrkstan They were pivoting at every possible turn lol, overwatch comes out- "make it live service" Anthem comes out - "redo the game and make it single player, but water it down for a broad audience" Forspoken comes out - "this shits too lighthearted rewrite the whole game again" wut

  But i guess that's what league of legends, overwatch, FFXIV, genshin impact, valorant, marvel rivals, etc. is for. I think live service and indie games just fill in the holes now. But people are tired of live service.

  Game is not optimized to this day and they barely work on fixing the balance issues. The only players were ex overwatch players who were playing it because they were mad with overwatch but now they're realizing that it's a **** game and it was never going to actually rival OW

  @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

  @CalamariSteven @JoshLavis @Splitgate Overwatch cosmetics carried over to Overwatch 2. It's not unreasonable to think a free to play live service game's entire means of keeping players financially invested in the game should have some carryover when the developer migrates over to a new free to play live service...

  @bnpar26 @GagasLeftT0e It is a problem. DVA has been broken since the start of overwatch. She still is, she is after Freja the most banned tank in higher ranks

  @dilucswifesband @pampurins No it's the OverWatch servers. had an entire lobby and this has happened four times where each of us on each team. Got kicked out one by one. I've posted about it OverWatch isn't addressing it nor are they fixing it. It is a server issue and a lot of ppl have been dealing W it

  @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.

  @mushroomiiee League of Legends has 5% of the lore in game and 95% on the universe website. Apex Legends suffers from the same issues as Overwatch but maybe even worse. It comes with the territory of the genre I'm afraid.

  @CarlHigbie One or two overwatch plinks would solve a lot of troubling issues.

  @Bluah97 Sensor is decent, I think it’s either 3370 or 3395, and it performs amazing in game, no issues when playing any game, and doesn’t feel any different than any other mouse using a 480hz monitor in Overwatch

  @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

  @ForcadoUALG @PaulTassi @Forbes This is a whataboutism. Marvel Tokon isn't even out yet. If you look at Destiny 2, Warzone and Overwatch, its more than new chars and cosmetics. Its new modes, new levels, seasonal stories/themes, limited time content. Just having DLC is not = live service
