  • dilongur kante’s clone (@dilongur) reported

    @BlizzardCS for overwatch my teammates are muted when I have not pressed anything to mute them, yet when I try to unmute them they just go back to being muted. Do you have any fix?

  • chlobonator Chlobonator (@chlobonator) reported

    So I can't fix the audio issues with my overwatch video, so I'm gonna scrap it 😔 who wants a few unedited videos of me just chilling in quick play instead? Or even the archives events?

  • MothGn MothGn (@MothGn) reported

    @JoshuaaaOW @flowy_OW I swear any French person I've met through ow is just not a real human being why are all these goblins playing overwatch instead of going outside for once in their lives They just all have anger issues

  • OrrockFarm Todd Orrock (@OrrockFarm) reported

    Not having a go. Just checking. But had trouble with atrazine/overwatch/Argo. So took out atrazine today still not great. Blocks filters. Mixing order correct and allowed with 5500l water 10 min for overwatch to mix before Argo. We are learning.

  • RithicHS Rithic (@RithicHS) reported

    Anyone have major issues adjusting to K&M after playing a game on console? I'd say I'm pretty good at Overwatch and a decent aim on PS4 but on PC all I can play is Rein because my aim/movement is garbage

  • comfypai compfy 🐶 (@comfypai) reported

    @NotShiroyama i doubt i'll be able to stream on this PC if having 2 chrome tabs, discord, and the overwatch menu screen is too much for it, so if i can't fix it then i'll prob just build a new pc and then do a dono goal afterward :"))))) i hate asking for money wuyudyafshcbjb

  • Ex0usT Ex0usT (@Ex0usT) reported

    Hey uh is Anyone experiencing Extremely bad Lag on overwatch tonight? I'm on my Xbox series x... 😭💔 It's probably just my 🗑internet Like WTF connects the TVs ability to play cable to the Internet!? 😑 wtf invented that! Keep tv & internet Separate so Internet can be faster!

  • Visual_Brian Visual Brian (@Visual_Brian) reported

    @Skyster2020 I don't think it will be. We already deal with connection issues, to have hardware performance on top of that would be horrible. On the bright side though, the queue times will be shorter, which has been a persistent issue for the first Overwatch.

  • BirbBabe Plum (@BirbBabe) reported

    @davemakes i feel like theres an issue of PvP "hero shooters" in general (stuff like apex & overwatch) where characters that we see do literally nothing other than compete in bloodsport/kill while laughing about it are framed as "heroic."

  • M21633072 MPhukkinDog (@M21633072) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN I have an issue with logging into my account. I can log into my battle net account through google (where you pick the account) but when I try normally my "account doesn't exists" and in the overwatch launcher itself it says that my account is missing an license.

  • eariine ♪Eariine♪® (@eariine) reported

    @MyHeroAcadem_a @dreamytom1 @PlayOverwatch The second one is better. I would love to ask at the Overwatch staff if they could fix Mercy's skin.

  • SimplyDmonic Autin (@SimplyDmonic) reported

    I think blizzard should add a player icon or spray or at the very least something in Blizzard world for Jeff's many years of service not only to OverWatch but to blizzard as a whole

  • talking2herself heckin great (@talking2herself) reported

    @ATVIAssist When trying to load into Cold War, I keep getting a connection error; A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H.I.J.K.L/M/-.-.-.Q.-.S.-.U.V.-.X.Y. Bravo 345 Doomsday Gator. It suggests it might be a connection error, but I'm having zero issues playing Overwatch among other games. Ideas?

  • ChiefOfBcrk Hiccup H. Haddock (@ChiefOfBcrk) reported

    @LangTouchton @BryanOrdonez17 @OWAnonymous_ The game is not dead, many still play it. Content creators and “professional players” only leave because there’s less content coming out to make videos on and then get money for it. Overwatch 2 with a renewed dev team making more consistent updates fix that. No scummy practices.

  • rebarob22 reba (@rebarob22) reported

    @Merasmus17 You don’t have to be an Overwatch follower to know that what is happening is not okay and that what Emmy did is victim shaming and character assassination. You are so disconnected from the actual issue here, it’s painful to see. Please work on your morals.

  • mintsoir 💫 mint 💫 (@mintsoir) reported

    @jiangchengliker overwatch fans are another breed so there's your first problem

  • lainseii Lev (@lainseii) reported

    @wornsword thinking abt how almost every male character in overwatch has a different body but almost all the women have the same long leg broken back hourglass bodies lol

  • lmaololroflkek lmaololroflkek (@lmaololroflkek) reported

    Selling my steam account for 100$ US Dollars total value is 450$ Includes the entire Dark Souls franchise with all DLCs and Black Ops 3 Zombie Chronicles Edition Dm if you want to buy i give account login details first to prove Also selling Overwatch account above level 25 for

  • ChubaChuubs Chuba (@ChubaChuubs) reported

    Played a little bit of Overwatch tonight and we figured out that my mouse is basically broken and my keyboard needs replacement as well... Twitter hivemind, what mouse and keyboard can you recommend me?

  • kuribohttv tyler (@kuribohttv) reported

    Like I can't imagine a way to fix the fundamental problem with overwatch supposed to be a team game other than a team queue. Clans and teams 6v6 only. Game needs a scrim finder, casual solo q ladder and quick play as the 3 main playlists imo.

  • Gh0stOpera Lance (@Gh0stOpera) reported

    @BlizzardCS yoooo what’s going on is there problems with Overwatch servers? My teammates and I just got ripped out of a game and forced back to qp queue.

  • halfbloodvince stupid man-thing named vincent (@halfbloodvince) reported

    @Lonelystarrd22 my issue is not with Overwatch, but with the games industry as a whole.

  • knarddd Nard (@knarddd) reported

    I’m stuck between soul calibur, crash bandicoot & overwatch tonight 🥲

  • BirbBabe Plum (@BirbBabe) reported

    @davemakes still i suppose this is better than overwatch's attempt to solve this problem, which was "How do we show that our characters are heroic! OH! I know! PvE 'Put Down The Enslaved Robot Uprising' mode!!! :)"

  • James68279468 James (@James68279468) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch 2 is gonna be in trouble..yikes

  • LizardOfOz_ Lizard of Oz (@LizardOfOz_) reported

    @chetfaliszek @ZPostFacto @Tyler_McV That said, I think many perpetual games have a similar issue: when updates and addons stack on top of each other, the resulting mass of content in something like Dota, Overwatch or WOW is just too huge to handle all at once for a newcomer.

  • wholelottagaang rishi (@wholelottagaang) reported

    jeff kaplan leaving overwatch highlights a much bigger problem.. bigger companies forcing out passionate people and replacing them with yes men. #overwatch #saveoverwatch

  • Wheelchair_Andy WheelchairAndy TTV xC (@Wheelchair_Andy) reported

    Also Jeff Kaplan wasn’t doing anything to fix overwatch and basically said “suck it up snowflakes” with the all throwing and Smurfing and honestly the toxicity is terrible now on ow. Like you could tell he didn’t care after 2018 because his attitude said it all. No offense

  • RealGoodChop The Best Chop you Know (@RealGoodChop) reported

    I'm gonna need to replace Overwatch for my "occasional PVP fix" and I think Apex is going to replace it.

  • Luke60412790 lfcxx07 (@Luke60412790) reported

    @SeoulessOW Just please dont make it pay to win. Overwatch heroes, maps, events, should NOT be behind a pay wall. They wont likely do this. The monitization I think would be fine with most is if they really want money just make a PURELY COSMETIC BATTLE PASS. Boom I solved the problem
