  • Haribooo_Eater Haribo Eater - Commissions are Open! (@Haribooo_Eater) reported

    I just get randomly kicked out of Overwatch Competitive server, with 0 Internet issues... The hell man

    @geri89xd @IGN Doomguy, Crash Bandicoot and *sigh* Tracer from Overwatch are probably the most likely characters

  • MarkJones_1998 Mark Jones (@MarkJones_1998) reported

    @NVIDIAGeForce Release new drivers that make Overwatch not lag like crazy for the first 5 minutes

  • Linkaden Link (@Linkaden) reported

    @urxnot I will never understand why its so difficult for Overwatch. This should have been prioritized for the longest time but they kept updating the game with broken characters and broken balance changes.

  • DonohoeEthan Sleepy boi (@DonohoeEthan) reported

    Go figure Overwatch still has a massive smurf problem that it’s had for YEARS and still NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. Garbage dead game stg

  • AmongstZenith AmongstZenith (@AmongstZenith) reported

    Going live very soon, gonna attempt to fix my issues with Overwatch but failing that I'll be continuing the Skyrim DLC so come hang out! Link is in bio

  • JustinZoras Justin Zoras (@JustinZoras) reported

    @BlizzardCS Still haven’t fixed the constant DC issue in overwatch. The last few weeks have been brutal.

  • ItsYachabu 🤎🤍 jacob 💛🤎 (@ItsYachabu) reported

    Now i need to get that overwatch platinum Only problem is that i need to get rapid discord, and a quad with junkrats ult

  • DocZenith “Famous” Streamer DocZenith (@DocZenith) reported

    @GoldenFlameZero That’s the issue with Overwatch. Every time something that requires the least amount of engine mastery is revealed, they remove it.

  • scrubcoral Mint (@scrubcoral) reported

    @shyfluffer @Niandra_ P.S. Please bring back 3-2-1. If balanced correctly, it can fix a number of Overwatch's glaring issues. Previous open queue experiences should not effect your opinion on 3-2-1 Role lock

  • wujupril an 💫 (@wujupril) reported

    i just tried to save in overwatch my brain is broken

  • DongTM_ Dixon Cider (@DongTM_) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hey I was DC'd from a game in Overwatch at the very last minute. I don't have internet issues ever where I am. I was at 2913 SR and was penalized for something I didn't do. Wasn't able to rejoin as it was the end of the match. No rejoin option. Negan#11404

  • itsFODDER itsFODDER (@itsFODDER) reported

    If you are in the content creator Discord server for Overwatch and you're too scared to speak your mind like Samito about all the game's issues, then you are part of the problem and the reason why Overwatch is in the dire death spiral it's in. Stop being betas and speak up.

  • jaydenchess Jaiden (@jaydenchess) reported

    @Kaizokuman @geri89xd @IGN Doom Eternal and Overwatch are 2 of the biggest third-party games on Switch and Crash 4 is coming next month. along with that, the 3 characters are all undoubtable gaming icons + they seem like characters Sakurai would want to add

  • supernutbar Corb (@supernutbar) reported

    @Eddache_ I dunno, my current guesses are Crash, the Doom Slayer, and Tracer from Overwatch.

  • txcp1 Marcelin the feeder (@txcp1) reported

    @KlumeScribbles @hayinator @PlayVALORANT If a people have attention problems, the text on the screen will be by far the biggest problem. Overwatch wasn't fast as csgo/valorant... I think the subtitles option is cool but it will be more problem than an help

  • jaydenchess Jaiden (@jaydenchess) reported

    @Colorpeace10 Doomguy, Crash Bandicoot or *sigh* Tracer from Overwatch

  • Leo_whoo leo viciou no bbb (@Leo_whoo) reported

    @1UPedru Crash no smash siiimm e overwatch imagina AAAAA

  • tsukimitzu tsuki🌙💜 (@tsukimitzu) reported

    living with parents during COV*D problem #121: getting called by your dad at 10pm for yelling “I bet your **** cheese smells like death” too loudly while playing Overwatch

  • BooksLater OneThousandBooksLater (@BooksLater) reported

    @camillo1978 Relative who plays Overwatch if it was unsuitable for a 9-year-old, says no problem. "It's the most cartoony shooter game out there. And the worst word any of the characters ever says is 'Dammit!'"

  • Zarina_Kassir Wintry Zarina | BLM/ACAB (@Zarina_Kassir) reported

    "Fixed an issue where unbreakable sets could be broken." BHVR is SICK for patching this out. Should hace just accepted it as a new feature, like how Overwatch did with Mercy's Superjump.

  • proffesorpixel Prof.Pixel (@proffesorpixel) reported

    @landoralpha @TruInfernoPoGo Wouldn’t hold your breath. I play Overwatch on ps4 and tried it on switch and it was dog poopy. So much lag from the lack of hardware capabilities and the character models looked horrible

  • pesky_joe Joe Pesky (@pesky_joe) reported

    @FoxViking1 @shinobi602 Buy your games better. I don’t have this problem. Overwatch, all dlc is free. Witcher, dlc is a stand alone game basically. Diablo 3, free dlc updates.

  • m0chi_aiko mochi (@m0chi_aiko) reported

    @VisorDaddy @Brenna_AM_ @EskayOW when has ammo ever been a problem in overwatch

  • Josee_f7 jose (@Josee_f7) reported

    @Halo6Official @Xbox I also have other problems with loading overwatch and other games

  • kiyarie Sun San💗Ignis ⚔️💍 (@kiyarie) reported

    The controls I have for Overwatch & FFXV are entirely different but because I play these two games for so long I have no problem switching my brain

  • JustinZoras Justin Zoras (@JustinZoras) reported

    @BlizzardCS I’ve been having issues with overwatch for weeks, random disconnects and dying through the map.

  • KlumeScribbles Klume🎺🦦 (@KlumeScribbles) reported

    @txcp1 @hayinator @PlayVALORANT I think the subtitles are for people with hearing issues or attention difficulties to be able to catch important lines like ult casts. Overwatch has it too

  • Tripod27292752 Tripod (@Tripod27292752) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent pls nerf bastion in Overwatch he is so OP in sentry mode with his rail gun its so broken

  • CPJackalRock Jackal Rock/Snickerman (@CPJackalRock) reported

    And the issue is apparent on games like Overwatch, Warframe, and Volcanoids the most (for the ones I actually play) and has yet to show up (thankfully) for games like Terraria, The Forest, and Minecraft.
