@Packing_10 @overwatchleague 2-2-2 & GOATS were symptoms. The problem was diverting resources and talent to Overwatch 2.

@ChiakiNanamiDR2 Sorry I don’t think it’s my fault!!! I can play like Overwatch on it without any issues but GG just cannot keep a consistent frame rate

@ZenoKagemaru @NexusWake @PlayOverwatch I've played Overwatch on the Switch before and I don't really think frame rates will be the biggest issue I can still play well on Apex Legends against PC players despite it running at 30 FPS.

@OWAnonymous_ Nah you can't nerf one shot cause that's the point of snipers even though it's what makes her busted. Can't really do anything bout it, snipers are just broken by design in any game really (Especially in Overwatch, when you give them a mobility ability that flings em 30 meters)

@TheTacticalBrit I stopped playing Cold War too. No idea why. I just went back to Overwatch and waiting for BF 2042 for my shooter fix.

@dapr Have you played smash, overwatch or LOL? Evety agent will be considered broken and every map will be considered trash... people don't learn!

overwatch should just fr take out the “rejoin match” button when you disconnect if you’re going to get banned anyways 😐 like sorry i’m poor and can’t afford 300 mbps internet lmao @PlayOverwatch

@caught_clean @ma_winkler @Thorin It's never been this bad. F2P certainly didn't help, but the real issue at the moment is the overwatch exploit... which Valve sort of caused themselves when they went after report bots. Now, cheaters can just report bot themselves to disable overwatch for an entire match.

@ZenoKagemaru @NexusWake @PlayOverwatch Okay regarding that issue that is a Microsoft and Sony issue not Blizzard. Many games have suffer through this not just Overwatch.

Sold Crowdstrike to an edu customer: “my tech is drooling over this” Sold Sophos to another edu customer and they too have a managed service (MTR) similar to Overwatch. Although Crowdstrike has a nice runway, not sure how big their moat is $CRWD

my "gaming" PC died this morning. It was bulky af and always had issues connecting to wifi, 5 years old. Any laptop suggestions? Looking for something that's 13-14in screen, can handle Overwatch / minecraft, under 1200$. I'll be doing a lot of writing on it too.

I don't know what the hell the devs have done to the PoTG system, but they as well take it out. It's been broken for over a year now. I would say it's a joke but jokes are funny. What you guys are doing to OW1 is anything but a fking joke #Overwatch #OW

(@pablo_san95) reported
@TheDragolf @gedster3 @RayndayGaming Paladins was always better than Overwatch. The problem was that Blizzard had more money to promote Overwatch, which made Paladins look like an Ow knockoff when in reality, Paladins actually came FIRST. Many potential players dismiss it as an Ow clone without even having played it

@writersflood People like competitive shooters. CSGO, rainbow six siege, overwatch, halo to name a few. I don’t have a problem with it. What bugs me is when other genres try to imitate them like dead space 3 or Resident evil 5&6. That’s what I find frustrating. Same with battle royals 😒

@PlayOverwatch I think I'm done with Overwatch. I keep coming back every god damn time praying for something good to come of it and it's just... No, I have no hopes for ow2, I have 0 doubt in my mind that they won't actually fix anything or make it more player friendly, I'm 99% sure it'll --

@flamebringer555 @GhostRooster60 @Stylosa the upcoming patch needed the longest time in the 16+ years of WoW. It's almost 3x times longer than normal. and since Overwatch has the same issue (yes they develop OW 2 but they should not completely ignore the main game) so your point doesn't really apply.

The problem with Overwatch on Switch, at least in handheld mode is that the low frame rate makes aiming with any degree of accuracy a challenge. No idea if the frame rate is 60fps in docked mode.

@RoarinWxters Can’t fix my code, can’t put together a couch properly, can’t be a good person, can’t get the job I want, can’t carry in overwatch, AND I lost a little bit in stocks

@TesseraCat But yeah, I haven't played Siege enough to really weigh in on it. I just know it has a same problem as Overwatch to me. I can only play it for like 1-2 sessions before I feel burnt out on it.

@Packing_10 @overwatchleague Overwatch as a game is fundamentally broken because it attempts to be a moba with counters when you have the freedom to swap characters. Overwatch will never be fixed until heroes no longer counter each other or a draft system is implemented.

@AkumaSpace @skatetwt it’s a game that’s only supposed to be played for less than an hour yet he has over 100 on it, how is that not incredibly weird to you???? it’s not a game like overwatch where you login everyday and play for hours.

@jolyneFPS I know they won't do this, but some heroes need total reworks. Brig, widow, and bastion in particular have design problems and do not fit into overwatch for reasons that can't just be nerfed.
