    @PlayOverwatch Seriosly, fix the error (LC-208.001) since yesterday i can´t log in overwatch 2 for the PS5, message attached is "disconnect from the game" fix this in name of god PLEASE.

  • Allios35 Allios 🇦🇶 (@Allios35) reported

    @JusttheletterBS Not to say I wouldn't want further patches, but you're comparing apples to oranges here. Games like Overwatch are live service games and intended for competitive play. Smash is neither of these things. Frankly, we're lucky we got any balance patches at all.

  • JackkoMTG An Unladen Swallow (@JackkoMTG) reported

    @aaronkellerOW Hello Aaron, the #1 problem in Overwatch matchmaking is and will always be smurfing. Until something drastic is done about smurfing, ranked ladder has 0 competitive integrity.

  • NagioS Shio (@NagioS) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Pls fix your overwatch servers

  • Clothy_Boi Squeeks/Stitchs/Baxi Stich Boi (@Clothy_Boi) reported

    @MizuhanaOVT oh I absolotely hate when in games like leauge and overwatch 5 v 5 games teams of 4 show up and cause problems for me. I am a support main as well. so working with these narrasistic stubborn d bags is very very difficult.

  • phurrst Phurrst 💎 (@phurrst) reported

    Overwatch matchmaking is so broken, i thought Apex was bad.

  • Viceroy_12 Viceroy (@Viceroy_12) reported

    @sampson3121 Your definitely wrong, saying ABK don't release new games on Switch is a lie. From Overwatch 2, Tony Hawk, Crash ect. And once the deal finalizes COD. The regulators and you trying to exclude Nintendo are being disingenuous. You're the one repeating quote not knowing context.

  • Viz_Senpai #1 Charcadet Stan!!! (@Viz_Senpai) reported

    Why is it that people are confused when there is a gamebreaking bug in overwatch they literally delete the character to maintain the fun of playing the game while they fix the problem. So yes gamebreaking=ban. Stop acting like children ffs

  • flatpancakesss pancake (@flatpancakesss) reported

    @KobzELFN @YaBoiDeathwish 2 of the 4 ggames I showed were full priced games, with Overwatch also being full priced in the past but converted to free to play just to make more money this issue extends further than free mobile games and impacts the full priced triple A games too

  • PaulFromPayroll paulfrompayroll (@PaulFromPayroll) reported

    LEAKED patch for Rainbow Fortnite: Call of Overwatch 9 -New anti-player system -New subscription battle pass service for $89/hr (only works with mom's credit card) -New ways to allow cheating -Removing ALL features

  • SaishuOW Saishu (@SaishuOW) reported

    I told myself I was gonna give overwatch 3 seasons to fix itself, first season I got one shot by a sojourn and was the most unfun meta, second season you still got onshot but by a pocketed mercy and a hog. They took way too long to nerf stuff. This season I get plats in my high

  • Wongwickerbeast Wong the wickerbeast (@Wongwickerbeast) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent and @PlayOverwatch for real why kick me into main menu? fix your ******* game overwatch for christ out loud "lost connetion to game server yeah" IS ALL YOUR ******* FAULT ******* OVERWATCH **** YOU

  • snoozywooz ꜱᴏᴊᴏ ♡ (@snoozywooz) reported

    Disconnects from Overwatch during comp...tries to come back but team wins... gets penalty. Doesnt rank up even though I was doing better than other supports on my team :') Feels good. Could you uh...fix this Blizzard? My lord

  • DaKittyPetra KittyPetra (@DaKittyPetra) reported

    @JuanArtxz I haven't had a problem with the 1660-S where I couldn't run a game or get lag. Every game that I run it always worked with no lag or anything. Games like: Call of Duty, Overwatch, Halo Infinite, CSGO, Red Dead and more big games on high/ultra graphics

  • abi_the_rat abi the rat (@abi_the_rat) reported

    @aaronkellerOW Overwatch matchmaking is still a nightmare. I'm a GM support player and I've been getting diamond teammates while the enemy team has high GM/T500 players. This makes the game incredibly unbalanced and unfair. Can you actually fix this issue?

  • SaintJx2 SaintJ2🌟 (@SaintJx2) reported

    I have retired from that torture service known as overwatch and am going to Apex again

  • angelz_fire Angelz_on_Fire 🇦🇺 (@angelz_fire) reported

    Anyone having connection issues with Overwatch? I keep getting kicked out when the game starts. My internet is fine. Is there an issue atm?

  • WaffleMeAwful Elex (@WaffleMeAwful) reported

    can you guys imagine if instead of Smash they put Steve (equally broken) into Overwatch. they would not be able to handle it

  • NervousLeader Nerves✨🪰 I'm stupid, Your Honor (@NervousLeader) reported

    @dvveet I’m super anti-Blizzard everything rn because of their legal issues so I always encourage people who ask to steer away from Overwatch for now.

  • Regal_Floof Regalfloof (@Regal_Floof) reported

    Hi guys Sorry for the late notice, but tomorrow mornings overwatch stream should be going ahead. However, I will some people turning up to fix the sofa anywhere between 7:30 am and 5pm. So this may or may not affect the stream We just gonna see how it goes. Might start early.

  • psychobot_raz raz (@psychobot_raz) reported

    @OmoiteS @BenjiSales There will never be a turning of tide, destruction all stars (hyped up) homegrown live service doa, while cod/overwatch/diablo/wow slams live service

  • SoChanelicious Chanel 샤넬🌷 (@SoChanelicious) reported

    Is anyone else experience issues with the Overwatch server? I just can't log in.

  • kazumara_ m a r a 🪐 (@kazumara_) reported

    YUP that was my last Overwatch game this season. what a ******* horrible game! game keeps on crashing (due to server issues?) while we’re winning! getting some random gold and plat on my Master lobby! @PlayOverwatch guess it’s time for me to finish Ori and the Blind Forest.

  • AyoPlayboy 👑Playboy👑 (@AyoPlayboy) reported

    Done with overwatch ranked until they fix the matchmaking like how hard is it to put people in the same rank against each other #Overwatch2

  • pgh42066669 Scott (@pgh42066669) reported

    @BlizzardCS help. Been trying to play Overwatch for almost 36 hours and keep getting unexpected server error occurred. I play on pc if that makes a difference

  • AndreaPichinini Andrea Pichinini (@AndreaPichinini) reported

    @yotkois Hellblade 2 is a sequel and it's exclusive. This is more like, MP or service games like COD, Overwatch, Diablo may stay multiplat, while single player franchises (both new or existing IPs) may be exclusive

  • Tironoyt Tiago Cruz (@Tironoyt) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch fix your ranking system bc I’m so tired of playing with trash *** teammates while going against sweats I’m done with this bullcrap. And the worst part is my rank I’m always losing matches bc of my teammates and I’m not that bad but my teammates are retards.

  • hotpaninii buggypilled (@hotpaninii) reported
