    @HiRezStudios I finally decided to try paladins. Sadly when starting a new hi-rez account on the ps5 it kept giving issues when affirming I wasn’t a robot soooooo I guess I’m not playing paladins. Back to Overwatch it is!

    @TannerSlays @AnneMunition People do the same thing in Overwatch. They purposely drop from diamond/masters by losing games and SR intentionally, and smurfs ruin the experience for those trying to get out of bronze/silver/gold. It's been an issue since I started playing in 2017.

    @DusttinBowerman Overwatch 2 will not fix the inherent problems with 1) the fan base 2) the developers giggling contempt for their own player base.

    Also this may be an issue of me just not wanting to bother people by dming them but I’d love to do an artist collab with another Overwatch artist, even though I have no idea who to ask jjjjjjjjjjjjj😩🥺

    @HappyHead74 For me it comes down to this, leadership and overwatch. If you have poor leadership in any organisation that will create huge issues all the way down the chain.

    @BlizzardCS I tried to watch two hours of overwatch today with a different twitch account which I created specifically to work around this problem which so far also didn't unlock Tier 1 spray. (I also checked, they don't show up in hero gallery AND 'new extras' tab)

    @KhaleesiBB Well, I don’t play Overwatch, but I do have some mental and internal(by that i mean like immune system things) issues so, I get it

    @TuffKing8 @StarboyHsp @XboxGamePass Nah bro Microsoft are going to own Activision Blizzard you bet your *** they're putting as many games in their catalog as they can into Game Pass. The licensed games might not happen but all the CODs, Crash, Spyro, Diablo, and Overwatch are prettymuch guaranteed

    @Questr0n @ModelChief30 I guess so. But his teammates usually agree that the people he is locking soldier because of are throwing. So I think he has the right to go solider and try and focus on his own gameplay. Don’t worry, overwatch 2 will fix all these issues *cope*

    Hey did y'all know that if too many IPs from one location log into Overwatch at once then the IP will get partially blocked by Blizzard? Me niether. Anywaaaaay ECC having some trouble.

    @MalystryxGDS I see no reason why any good competitive esports game couldn't continue to have a fanbase for decades. The problem with Overwatch is it was never that popular for competitive viewership, and clearly it wasn't even designed for that.

    Why do so many Xbox players throw on overwatch??? Does anyone else have this problem?! 🤔#overwatch #Competitive

    @IdahoIts My game is not completely lagfree either but it's playable. The things that I usually do is using Nvidia Control Panel to enable Vsync, triple buffering and to limit the game's FPS to 60. I also use the Smooth Patch from Lazy Dutchess and Nraas' Overwatch and Error Trap.

    @DusttinBowerman I'm hoping that when the Microsoft acquisition is finalized, the Overwatch 2 team can get more structured and focused. I do hope too, they'll work on fixing the issues that would ruin the first game, like ban toxic players, don't force it as an esport, and focus on fun above all.

    Honestly, I didn't see ANY Ana get potg. It's impossible to get it with some characters because the system if potg is broken. Pleaseeeee @PlayOverwatch @OverwatchEU #Overwatch #overwatch2

    @End0fForever As someone who had to sit 20 minutes in Overwatch to get a GM game back when I played a bunch of the issues just boil down to quality vs quantity. Halo Infinite had fast queues and upsetting teammates. Splitgate has fast queus and upsetting teammates. I care, some folks dont. >>>

    @Lucky_BunTTV Every company jumps on them because revenue, without realizing they need to make a solid game first, the only good “live service” game I can think of is Overwatch, and that game isn’t even a live service. It’s always micro transactions first, gameplay second if ever

  • S_Factor_Sam
    Dr. Sam (@S_Factor_Sam) reported

    @REALLYBIGBABY69 @SQuirrel147 @TSM_Leffen Use a public test server for community-involvement in playtesting, like Skullgirls & Overwatch. Problem solved. Keep the adjustments small, incremental, & monthly or bi-monthly. F2P is likely the future. It works for too many successful competitive games to not have merit.

    @DusttinBowerman The first year of Overwatch 2 will be trying to balance tanks. Zarya will be their biggest problem where she will either be too powerful or the weakest hero on the roster.

    @DallasFuel I need help with this question: Can one rent a movie theater to watch the Overwatch League? Last time I tried with Cinemark, they said they couldn't offer the service.

  • SpruceDust
    Miguel Romero (@SpruceDust) reported

    @DusttinBowerman Honestly Overwatch is pretty balanced it’s gonna be very hard to rebalance it for a 5v5! I feel the game is gonna come out really unbalanced and probably buggy! Over some time though they’ll probably fix it and it’ll get better!
