@BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch wondering why the player base isn't as big as it used to be and out here still thinking that smurfing isn't a problem. When will they realize smurfing and Alt accounts are two different things... smh

I can’t stream. :( I’m going to Best Buy on payday and getting a better wifi router. I don’t want anything to crash. I’ve been having issues with just trying to play OverWatch, I’ll be back into strictly on Friday I hope you guys understand :(

@OverwatchGG The problem with OW lore is that it's fractured as ****. We were promised that this game would have a lovely narrative at some point, but Blizzard only really cared about keeping us playing. They failed at both.

@Syncikk Dude it's so true. As I get older I realize so many of my friendships are the result of ***ociation, dude, I don't even play Overwatch anymore because I'm not with that friend group and I used to hustle. Best thing to do is nail down how you make you happy and stick with that.

Sadly, not talking about Overwatch and it's poor balancing means I don't get to title a section "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Mercy-a" but I can probably use that bit for part 4.

@solestix I think pyro just attracts new players but when people look down upon a cl*** like bastion from overwatch it kinda scares away the players who play that cl***. If it’s in the game it’s potentially viable

The problem with #Overwatch is THE PLAYERS, not the game. The players want to win matches but instead of finding ways to win with hero compositions that work best for the winning the objective, they’d rather their mains just be buffed and their mains counter heroes be nerfed. https://t.co/n3sB4Itoqg

@Seb2_UbiDev @TheGodlyNoob Problem is, it feels like every single attempt at Siege art is targeting an audiance playing Overwatch or Fortnite. If you showed people what was the Rainbow Six Series about up to Siege 2016, i think they'd call it either too hard or not appealing to them.

@TheFireDen @OmidLotfi17 @HyuugaBB in situations where the enemies are hesitant to break a shield, it can lead to boring matches especially since once you destroy the shield, there is another one immediately up. overwatch has had that issue with combining 2 strong shield tanks, therefore their shields got nerfed.

I love how bad the balancing on OW is to the point where i get placed in 4 comp games in a row where the other team rolls the cart down the whole map without stopping and we get held to 2 total kills for our whole team and get held in spawn the whole game. GG @PlayOverwatch

Confirm or deny?
Does Overwatch use single line code execution for character abilities?
Is it purposely setup to not allow players to cancel abilities with cool down timers?

So I’m playing through the Battleborn story mode before the servers are shut down. The game seems like a mix of Borderlands and Overwatch. The characters seem unique and the combat is fun enough. It’s not amazing, but definitely not worth the amount of hate it got.
