  • Jason7657 Jason Paul Eliseo (@Jason7657) reported

    @Benjjjyy @LanzaGB @Bungie Overwatch is a prime example of solo matchmaking not working. When avoiding stacks is priortized, queues took forever. When equal skill was prioritized, queues were instant but solos would run into 6 stacks.

  • DiscordJester Shac Frost (@DiscordJester) reported

    @FuchsiaLOL @lolmiseria @staehr_lol I got the overwatch and maxed that and one of the auto shotguns and kinda just used those for most of the game. I got luvky on my first playthrough as well where i only got one glitch and it was a mission getting stuck which got fixed by save scumming.

  • Thermyboi Thermeo👑 (@Thermyboi) reported

    @Kor4ani Playing overwatch going through it cuz im lagging

  • Jetpack_gg JetpackGG (@Jetpack_gg) reported

    @MonteCristo @Ant_Hs Would you agree to put League of Legends ahead of Overwatch? LoL has thrived more in the "games as service" area, but I can understand the argument that LoL-related content can make one believe it's a better game than OW. Riot has done more with their IP than Blizzard ever will.

  • Phyerx Nad (@Phyerx) reported

    Done w/ Apex after the 6th crash so we moving to Overwatch!

  • reicchi_96 🌺ゆっきー♡ (@reicchi_96) reported

    Why does minecraft make me nauseous but when i play overwatch and flick around my camera i dont have any issues :(

  • DamoclesOw DamoclesOW (@DamoclesOw) reported

    YIR: 1. Went from 3600 to 4300 in Overwatch. 2. Lost some muscles and gained some fat while maintaining the same weight. 3. One quarter away from the UCSD double major no glitch any percent speed run. 4. GGs go next

  • Masakiss1 Masakiss (@Masakiss1) reported

    Just rejoined #ApexLegends for the first time in almost 2 years. Unlike #Overwatch the game added so many new legends and contents and seemed a lot better than my time back in 2019 or so. The problem is that I am pretty bad at battle royal. Third place in a match is my best run.

  • PG__Animation PG_Animation 🇪🇺 *Commissions OPEN* (@PG__Animation) reported

    @DanRoot_VGAS I don't think drawing them for commissions is a problem? Selling that stuff as merch could be though as they can order you to take it down (I know Overwatch does not like fan merch being sold)

  • snehalantani Snehal Antani (@snehalantani) reported

    ... leading OverWatch to add the @VMware Horizon #Tomcat webserver service to their processes-to-watch list ...

  • casinobtw lia (@casinobtw) reported

    does anybody else lag like hell when playing apex on their ps5? i tested out my connection on r6 and on overwatch. it only seems to happen with apex, i’m aware respawn always has server issues but it’s kinda ridiculous.

  • chainsawthey izzy uchiha (@chainsawthey) reported

    overwatch is so unplayable rn..the server issues with the lag is so bad

  • yesyouc20326472 yesyoucan (@yesyouc20326472) reported

    @basisspace @cole__hammond Good point. But any lengthly time in CSGO competitive shows how much of a problem it is in this game vs others. Why are overwatch'ers having to sit through spinbotters who are literally spinning 20x a second? Couldn't something be done about this pretty easily?

  • PeckishTracer 🔞Tracer🔞 (@PeckishTracer) reported

    @voresuki "You are gonna be in big trouble with overwatch!"

  • Blanklump end (@Blanklump) reported

    I don't trust people that play Overwatch, Valorant or LoL. They're deeply broken and want to hurt everybody around them, including themselves.

  • papa_poseidon Papa Poseidon, the Moist God (@papa_poseidon) reported

    @GameSpot Before the issues with Activision-Blizzard, back when Overwatch was still at the peak of its hype, back when the idea of a Co-Op oriented mode and the stream of cinematic lore releases was a thing...yeah. But I literally forgot there was going to be a sequel, until this tweet.

  • AsteroidGX Ch0r0ng stan (@AsteroidGX) reported

    Overwatch 2 wouldn’t be a problem if we were all lizards

  • StarspiritGG Starspirit (@StarspiritGG) reported

    Still live... climbing easily back up. I'm not lagging anymore . The ******* difference without lag is crazy . #Overwatch

  • Sol_Diablo_ Sol Diablo🎮 (@Sol_Diablo_) reported

    @Jeanmarclouis79 Facts....or the whole Battlefront 2 travesty. Oh and don't forget OverWatch which started the whole loot box issue.

  • NivekLeathers Nivek Leathers (@NivekLeathers) reported

    @YouTubeGaming Overwatch… I might have an issue lol. I can’t give up on that game

  • MaeveIsLyfe Charybdis (@MaeveIsLyfe) reported

    @Fed0raTheXplora Agreed! Main ones I want are Overwatch-level customs (maybe workshop), the better LTMs (especially the PvE ones like the 5 Pips) and the goddamn skin customization. Their excuse of clipping is so dumb, their current skins clip so, what’s the issue

  • BarnesGotNext BarnesGotNext (@BarnesGotNext) reported

    WHY DO NO CONSOLE OVERWATCH LEAGUES HAVE PHONE NUMBER NEEDED TO ENTER THE SERVER????? THAT WOULD LITERALLY SOLVE MOST OF THEIR ISSUES OF SMURFING LOL

  • galiIeogaliIei ; (@galiIeogaliIei) reported

    honestly there was a point in a previous relationship where we’d be hanging out and i’d be thinking: i really wanna be playing overwatch instead... which ofc men have no problem admitting to this, but it was a strange feeling for me. can’t imagine going on like that

  • TCGHarT Hartley Scott (@TCGHarT) reported

    @MLGACE First and foremost, fix the servers. Bronze-onyx tier idea is fine I think. But we need a points system maybe something like overwatch to show how many points u have an how many you need to rank up plus how much you get per win. Even league has an LP system. You should only
