  • Artimus_Gray Gray 🚩 (@Artimus_Gray) reported

    @Succinct_Punchy economics in e-sports and digital media in general is a ******* minefield because there's weird problems, but there's also a glut of people descending on e-sports with the mindset of money making, so you get **** like the overwatch scene lol

  • tortilladotcom tortilla (@tortilladotcom) reported

    i don’t care what anyone says, bastion is a extremely overpowered character in Overwatch. If a character can shoot down a whole team while taking damage, that is a problem. I think he could use a nerf or maybe two. @PlayOverwatch @realJeffkaplan1

  • _legitsavage savage. (@_legitsavage) reported

    @StarksTm Overwatch?!? Don’t even get me started on hate for blizzard and their constant need to fix **** that no one asked to be fixed

  • PK_PDX peek (@PK_PDX) reported

    overwatch is an interesting example in that it also has this problem but also the game is completely dead *except* for the competitive players, which i don't think is the case for league, so

  • MothGoodnight MothGn (@MothGoodnight) reported

    @ulake9 if you spent more money than you made on overwatch there is a bigger problem

  • DarthNSK Nick “DarthNSK” (@DarthNSK) reported

    The problem with Overwatch is simple. New characters added after Ana lower the overall skill ceiling and have “do-it-all” playstyles and abilities. The way to balance Overwatch to the state the overwhelming majority likes is to simply reduce the effectiveness of those heroes.

  • cybernxtics festive gamer (@cybernxtics) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ how did all of that happen because of overwatch. clearly there is an underlying issue here, or some chain of events happened before ow that made ur friend group leave u... also you calling your best friend's s/o a shitter is possibly a reason why he doesn't wanna hang w you😕

  • GemStadia Gem Stadia (@GemStadia) reported

    I have a shocking announcement to make :O I play my Overwatch on PC I play my Crash Bandicoot 4 on my PS4 I play my Crash Team Racing on my Switch Get over it

  • 9Live_Nekko Jeffrey "Head of the Lúcio clan" Kaplan (@9Live_Nekko) reported

    @paintbrush Like... Nobody asked for this... Blizz always addresses everything BUT the problem. That is what is kinda killing Overwatch and it's making me sad

  • ByKingLambda ByKingLambda (@ByKingLambda) reported

    @CSGO It wouldn't be bad if every 40 correct overwatch, they gave you 1 medal as the service medal.

  • humangomitrash shen (@humangomitrash) reported

    @HellxBoy555 Ooof I feel you... its weird how I don't have issues with other games on WiFi but its just overwatch :(

  • BarkingWoofers Jason (@BarkingWoofers) reported

    @BlizzardCS overwatch just cut me out, showing lost connection, twice, mid competitive. after each i instantly checked my connection, no problem. battlenet could not reconnect, browser shows no internet problem. now im suspended from comp. did i lose SR, can you return SR please.

  • YourGuyMJ Jamal Effendi (@YourGuyMJ) reported

    @Shinn3rs13 @CallofDuty Feels like that's the problem with SBMM especially in CoD and fortnite. iirc only overwatch and CS does it right

  • SkylarWildman AAAAAAAAAAAAA (@SkylarWildman) reported

    @EskayOW People said the same about doomfist, mercy, dva, hog the list goes on they all got nerfed to ****, that's the problem with overwatch, everyone hates someone or something including You

  • JD_Ammerman Jonathan Ammerman (@JD_Ammerman) reported

    @CharizardisLit Have there been 3 successful looter/Destiny likes in the past 5+ years? While MP focused games as a service type games have found success in copying Fortnite/Overwatch, I legit can’t think of more than 1 or 2 co-op/SP looter games as a service type titles that have worked.

  • realSkyAndStars Skys and stars (@realSkyAndStars) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent you need to fix your game(overwatch), I got into the same match that already started twice and now I have 9 games that have a penalty because I didn't want to play a mach that was already half over. That's some bullshit.

  • exalted2x exalted2x (@exalted2x) reported

    @xFREEEDO Improvement can come in both ways. Most of my improvement in overwatch has been slow, steady improvement. I've had winstreaks, but they're usually followed by a respective loss streak. Of course there are cases of people who fix major errors and their sr goes up more but not me

  • TheOnlyGap Yuri (@TheOnlyGap) reported

    Tank is the worst role in Overwatch. Zero impact, constantly getting nerfed because dps mains cry like ******* incels, supports are still the most broken role in the game, **** Overwatch

  • teknikal762 Tekk the Shark God Turkey Eater (@teknikal762) reported

    @KingWindsor1 @Ivan_Is_Back @JoeBiden Oh more post moving, you referencing state laws now. First you said it was federally illegal doubled down, now you sent it back down to the states. Also overwatch ain't the game I play, its a service I provide fukk boi.

  • miscu_ miscu (@miscu_) reported

    I'm reminded of the bit from the old plinkett prequel reviews where he asks people to define characters from the original trilogy vs prequels. overwatch has that same "what you see is what you get" problem that the PT characters have

  • kawaiibutlewd bruh💜🔞 (@kawaiibutlewd) reported

    @Soralala1 thank you. yeah, I've had lots of things like this happen to me... in September, I visited a guy to help him with a Photoshop issue and then play Overwatch. He poked my cheek randomly and then later pressed his body against mine with his hands on my shoulders as I gamed. (1/2)

  • Bee83Ellie Axe's Young Link (the kid) (@Bee83Ellie) reported

    @mart1n_G @anonymoussmash2 @Alpharad It's naive to assume that Smash is the only scene with this issue, scenes like Overwatch and League are notorious for it (I'll tell you firsthand that talking over mic is hellish at times). Better to own the problem than sweep it under the rug-
