-
Dwight (@dwight_shoda) reported@Rambo_Hair @GermanStrands that was hardly the issue, from what i saw the game itself ran fine. it was probably the most optimized hero shooter ive seen. very little problems. the biggest issue was character design, marketing and 8 years too late for hero shooters when Overwatch 2 fails to draw a crowd
-
lin ♡ yoongi (@93s97) reportedyou guys fight tooth and nail about this girl but the reality is there and we see the undertones don’t act tone deaf to avoid the conversation that’s there, is it like other games? no, but does overwatch have a problem with the way they do **** like this, YES.
-
Jody Yarbrough (@Jody__Yarbrough) reportedOverwatch please fix matchmaking in Stadium. One game I get lowest rank people the next game I’m playing against legends…. If your not grouped your not climbing plain and simple.
-
R.T (@RyanTmhg) reported@CY4N4R4 I don’t get the issue, you know how the game plays it’s Overwatch the same as it has for years. Map voting is coming everybody knows this why are people upset it’s not in the trailer if they know it’s coming.
-
isa (@cealestica) reported@murofrl eh i doubt it but my friend literally got banned for playing like ur average player so at this point i dont even know, overwatch need to fix their ban system
-
gamja (@gamja2174) reported@Gracellynn6 @Vodible @MarvelRivals Agreed. Overwatch has some of these issues as well, but at least OW has taken a firm stance that it’s going to be a competitive game and Blizzard at least officially supports/acknowledges the Esports scene and gives it a stable/sustainable league/structure.

Alan (@Sidtehfallen89) reported@BlizzardCS Hello I'm having issues with Overwatch 2 I keep getting a "Failed to Connect to Server" it's happened multiple times and I'm hardwired to my console it's gotten to the point where I got banned from Season 16 I'm not sure why that happens but would @PlayOverwatch look into it plz.

Sandor Nagy (@snagy479) reported@dusk_fps @Forest__O_O @monsterhunter Might be wrong but this is just getting fixes live service would be rivals overwatch cod i would not put a monster hunter in that category

Gunter (@Gunter_Gman) reportedHow greatness is inevitable: video games. Why? I became top % in many games: 0.5% of 20 million active players in Valorant 15% in league 10% Rainbow 6 siege 10% in Halo infinite 35% on Overwatch in 6 hours. 25% on Fortnite in 12 hours. Another time I won roughly 20-25 games in a row on Valorant via pure **********. I WENT FROM GOLD 2 TO A3 IN 2 WEEKS WHILST LAGGING 100-1000Ms PEAKS. I know how to be great. I know how to conquer. I take what’s mine ruthlessly.

Komaru Evans (@joshuaskyevan) reported@cresaint My problem is everyone acting like every company does this which they don’t I.E. Overwatch the p*rn is literally the models from overwatch like infold is probably just a well not rare byt uncommon company also they were selling it too
-
anyka✨ (@_celestialss) reported@KurtJP35 I can a guarantee they saw the success of Overwatch since this happened in 2017 and pivoted because of that. They truly are scared of doing their own thing and would rather chase trends in service of making more money
-
Runt (@RuntInTheJunk) reportedSo I'm not the only one having lagging problems on Overwatch lately right?
-
Ray🌸 (@rayyvioli) reported@dottanic I hate that skins seem like the only actual piece of content we can look forward to.. like the whole trailer was 30 seconds of stadium **** and the rest was showcasing skins.. I don't buy skins but I think overwatch created this problem themselves and likes when people are upset
-
Grok (@grok) reportedNetwork interpolation delay in Overwatch 2, typically around 31.25 ms at a 64 Hz tick rate, smooths gameplay by predicting movements between server updates. It ensures fluid visuals but can cause issues: shots may miss or hit incorrectly due to client-server mismatches, enemy movements may appear erratic, and abilities might not sync properly. Players with lower latency gain a competitive edge, as their actions register faster. While essential for a playable experience, high delay can lead to rubberbanding and frustration. Optimizing your connection, like using wired internet, may help reduce these effects.

Jay (@reiandsunshine) reportedis overwatch broken for anyone else?? i just tried playing a comp match, we all had a minor perk unlocked at the start but it didn't work, i got killed and my entire game crashed and every time i try to relaunch and rejoin, it crashes again. @BlizzardCS

JAZ 🔮🎇 (@JazCelest) reportedMy English is so broken, because I'd absorved non stop words and accents of every english speaking country... I blame nijisanji and the aussie overwatch content creators.
-
vene₶iaπ ～｡☆꒰ 🐑🍷 (@liespiach) reporteda lot of fans of certain heroes have it a lot better than they'd make it out to be and I think it has something to do with how the overwatch fandom as a whole has a victim complex issue.
-
kat :3 (@HugeTiddyGothGf) reportedI’m going to crash out from the queue times on overwatch. This isn’t the first time I’m complaining about it. Istg if the game doesn’t rise from the dead and get some people into my games I will go insane.
-
rey de ratas (@HedBanned) reported@BbEunjiX @Greenpig117 @chu_ddino for overwatch. you answered your own question. you’re acting like battle net takes up a ton of space or is super inconvenient to launch 💀 i’m not uninstalling and reinstalling the game that works perfectly fine on the platform i’ve played it on for years when it’s a non-issue
-
ItzHen #RenewTheAcolyte (@parnormalpncake) reported@arrkstan They were pivoting at every possible turn lol, overwatch comes out- "make it live service" Anthem comes out - "redo the game and make it single player, but water it down for a broad audience" Forspoken comes out - "this shits too lighthearted rewrite the whole game again" wut

Aso (@AsoMartise) reportedOverwatch need to stop giving me 200 ping when im the only ***** up in my house. i get better ping when all the tvs is on this **** is stupid @PlayOverwatch @jeffkaplan Fix my **** **** *****
-
Dakota Bannigan (@Kitceartas) reported@BlizzardCS Can I talk to a human about hacking in overwatch two. If given the opportunity I will work actual work weeks to find and implement ways to help this problem for very reasonable rates.
-
big7pointer (@Big7pointer) reported@yseasoned @Greenpig117 Because overwatch simply missed its chance to be a good game again i'm afraid. Their lack of trying to improve until they had competition is the embodiment of everything wrong with live service games.
