The big daddy of a tweet by Blizzard was put up by Overwatch claiming that “that’s really what it’s all about.” And the drinks came pouring in! The replies turned into full chaos. Players took the space to whine about any grievances they’d ever had: from heroes that were too powerful to long droughts of loot boxes. And those comments… I hope Blizzard’s social media team had a big bottle of something to calm their nerves after the poison their audience served them with.
Starting the Freja rage. Some people, among whom were @jznesa and @LowTierFemboy4, demanded that she be nerfed, one screaming, “SHE TWO SHOTS EVERYONE ITS NOT BALANCED.” Chill, man; we knew the tears have been shed over Freja deleting souls faster than bad Wifi could drop a connection. Yet others, like @herdt877, were all about skins instead, begging for an Illidan crossover (which, of course? Would smack).
Now to loot box drama. @Venoplague went on: “3 loot boxes a week really sucks.” One upping it, @l77stdbd pleaded, “give us more then 3 lootboxes please daddy overwatch.” All despair over here, y’all . Meanwhile, @SwissBritney was already onto an existential crisis, “Can someone explain why my vault is dry as fuck?” Mood. Totally mood.
But the real comedy is how the teammates are treated. Plenty of players keyed in on their randoms, like @perfectsveivet, “my stadium teammates missing the whole point (not staying on point).” @JohnnyTime6 went on, “Literally my teammates will forget to get on the point sometimes,” whereas @ziggie_l straight-up told Overwatch, “This should be shared to a majority of y’all’s players ngl.” OOF.
Then go the wild cards. @Gordon_Penwell with a full 2025 unhinged: “Can we get NA only servers? The Brazilians are dog shit at video games and they ruin comp.” YIKES. @Mo71red threw some weight: “I miss the old game… There was none of the shit we see now. Especially racism against Saudis.” Heavy stuff, and definitely not what Blizzard’s tweet was aiming for.
Oh, and let’s not forget @agreatusername, who just dropped a “Make elimination permanent” like it was the last thing they needed to say all day. No explanation; just vibes.
This is the gist: Overwatch players are passionate, messy, and very vocal about the things they want. Nerfs? Skins? Better teammates? Less racism? It’s all on the table. And honestly? This tweet thread might be the funniest thing to hit this week in the Overwatch community.
Blizzard, if you are listening… maybe start with the Freja thing. Just sayin’.
