  • LilacElation Sleepy || スリーピー (@LilacElation) reported

    @DrawingDudeLen I’m too bad at splatoon to understand the problem in this image. Can you explain this image in overwatch terms.

  • AirdylanCA airdylan 🇨🇦 (@AirdylanCA) reported

  • Xabiju Xabi (@Xabiju) reported

    @Jay3OW MM has been broken since as far as I remember, only faceit lobbies can save overwatch.

  • GuillaumeJeanL3 Jeune Broke (@GuillaumeJeanL3) reported

    Yep overwatch 2 is broken

  • megamilkxl Kai (@megamilkxl) reported

    @strawberryjava @OWAnonymous_ toxic mentality, “overwatch 2 man…” negative attitude/only focusing on negatives when they happen is going to make you not enjoy any game. i personally haven’t noticed people leaving as a particular issue, any more than it was in overwatch 1. hope you can enjoy the game someday

  • theroyaloccult royal💀 (@theroyaloccult) reported

    Silver in DPS on Overwatch. Played 2 games. First game got put into a plat lobby. Second game got put into a diamond lobby. Lost both games because clearly I’m not going to compete at the same level as everyone. @PlayOverwatch fix ur stupid ******* game losers

  • Trent55521845 Trent (@Trent55521845) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent pls for the love of God fix overwatch 2 load screen and sign in options I have never had such a terrible issue with a company or game before.

  • exinzify exin (@exinzify) reported

    5 main problems in overwatch - soujorn - roadhog - kiriko - ranked system - hero balancing in general, they either say they nerf it yet they buff it or they buff something too much, theyre lowkey pretty slow at fixing a big problem (took literal months for zarya)

  • rileyj_mn ~Riley~ (@rileyj_mn) reported

    Why do I lag so bad now on Overwatch since the new season 🤨

  • ethunderx Cyberstarnova (@ethunderx) reported

    @DJfriendlygamer @st3v3132 @NikoMueller Yet how is it showing off their market power when they haven't done anything with them? Ntm that MS has Elderscrolls, Fallout, Doom, COD, Spyro, Crash, Diablo, Overwatch, WOW, Banjo and Kazooie, Fable, Halo, Gears Of War, and more. So isn't that a huge show of market power?

  • texturedghost Tex 🍄 (@texturedghost) reported

    @finnbasil :0 the other day it was overwatch only but sadly i’ve been having the same issues when streaming league. not bitrate tho :0 i would appreciate the video tho regardless 👀

  • Corps_De_Blah Oz Deveraux (@Corps_De_Blah) reported

    @strawberryjava @megamilkxl @OWAnonymous_ Because you insist the game is bad because of the players and replicate this idea that Overwatch 2 is suffering some gameplay error, which then gets picked up and spread around the community making the community, in turn, toxic.

  • Saltail Alexis | アレクシス (@Saltail) reported

    @TwistonMC @BlizzardCS @BlizzardCS Hey Blizzard, we've got an issue with Overwatch Support over here

  • Corps_De_Blah Oz Deveraux (@Corps_De_Blah) reported

    @strawberryjava @megamilkxl @OWAnonymous_ First you say leavers are a problem, the. You say you love the game but the game sucks, then you say, the streamers agree with me! Who cares? Your negativity and people like you who do nothing but complain makes Overwatch a miserable experience more than any game change

  • xavi53562768 xavi (@xavi53562768) reported

    to get back in and not get the penality now im banned i dont have personal internet problems because i play every other game fine its only in overwatch i lag out only. Can you please help me or tell me what to do

  • CoffeeFox34 OfficeFennec (@CoffeeFox34) reported

    Overwatch 2 is a dog **** sequel that should of never replaced OW1. I'd take lootboxes and and Goats over this dumpster fire any day. Gonna love watching this game crash and burn. As Activision continues to **** their player base. #Overwatch2 @ATVI_AB

  • SNDorns z (@SNDorns) reported

    @comud27 @jasonschreier Why can’t you just look them up? Diablo, crash, overwatch, are some big ones. Plus all of the games they publish through third party might now be exclusives. Any future new IP’s as well.

  • Hi_Hi_Cutiepie Hi_Hi_Cutiepie (ENVtuber) | LAGzilla (@Hi_Hi_Cutiepie) reported

    Yet another overwatch-is-dumb rant. I don't understand how I can lose a **** ton of comp games and get silver 4 but then also proportionately win a bunch of games in a row with few losses and I still get silver 4. overwatch matchmaking and ranking is garbage. -_- fix it, dammit.

  • BiracialAngel_1 BiracialAngel92 (@BiracialAngel_1) reported

    @Jay3OW you mean the EXACT same way matchmaking went in Overwatch 1??? Its literally the same game except now it has a broken awful economy

  • PendinMakavelli Pending (@PendinMakavelli) reported

    I know apex fans be crying but I've never seen so many fans cry about skill issues like overwatch fans and I have only been in the community for a few days, I feel everytime they die instead of trying to improve they just can't fathom why they died

  • o_oYurei Yurei (@o_oYurei) reported

    @Ketzwun @staraIien I literally played console overwatch for years with controller you're trying to own me for me throwing out an opinion and that **** is not working dawg.

  • IMooWhenIPoo07 Barca_kingz10 (@IMooWhenIPoo07) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent this is exactly why I deleted overwatch years ago... just downloaded overwatch 2 and can't get passed the start up screen. Good to see the game still has massive server issues

  • magicalhobo72 MagicalHobo72 (Jack) (@magicalhobo72) reported

    My Elgato/4kCapture keeps lagging and then freezing on me. So no stream tonight as I’m still working that out. Hopefully it will be better in the morning. If not I will be streaming Overwatch tomorrow.

  • dingusnubbis Max (@dingusnubbis) reported

    insane how after 30 odd szns of overwatch mercy pockets are still a problem LMAO

  • THEJESSEPlNKMAN alex ! (@THEJESSEPlNKMAN) reported

    actually lemme fix that tweet ***there’s nothing more annoying in overwatch 2 just playin support

  • Adam98206118 Adam (@Adam98206118) reported

    Can blizzard actually fix matchmaking in comp? I am in lobbies with bronze-plat teammates while the enemy team is diamond+ #Overwatch2 #overwatch

  • flauschxger  flauschxger (@flauschxger) reported

    @EskayOW @GetQuakedOn I miss him because he was my to go pick if everything else was either not working or I just wanted to have fun, also I got into learning how to play him properly, unfortunately I made that decision when Overwatch was coming to an end.

  • RasslingNerd DesTiny (@RasslingNerd) reported

    Overwatch’s player base is in such a shot state. Been on this game since release and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it this bad. One quit almost dictates a constant 3v5 even with crossplay. PC pool and console pool alone both have the same issues on top of that. Its like, wtf. 😐
