  • PhiIIyAyanami BiggestDroid (@PhiIIyAyanami) reported

    @Jaeejpg Same queue time maybe? I’ve not had this issue since overwatch 1

  • theSalmonRoll Kevin. (@theSalmonRoll) reported

    I like the new direction Blizzard is taking with this new Overwatch hero. Instead of being broken on release, it's possibly the worst hero in the game!

  • markusfenix75 Dominik Farkaš (@markusfenix75) reported

    @OuterSpaceBro24 @tenpintornado @ReforgeGaming WoW is getting new expansion every year. Diablo and Overwatch are live service games that are getting new content every 3 months on schedule. So not really great examples.

  • hakazekaorus myrn🌸 (@hakazekaorus) reported

    @BlizzardCS hi, are there bugs about missing game replay and game reports in overwatch? I have been having the problems since a few days ago. Some games are listed and some games aren't.

  • VooDooDad so fresh so clean (@VooDooDad) reported

    The lag in Overwatch has been unbearable lately

  • deltatygr DeltaTygr (@deltatygr) reported

    Uhmm.....Are Overwatch queues broken?

  • sprinting_sprtn sprtn (@sprinting_sprtn) reported

    @ItsTropica @PlayOverwatch I'm probably gonna go play overwatch for a while, apex is just unplayable rn, hope they fix it in the future but that's unlikely.

  • toofspaste ؘ🔮 (@toofspaste) reported

    can my brother stop playing his silly little sports games its making my overwatch lag and im trying to learn lifeweaver

  • traitorbaby bradley (@traitorbaby) reported

    Overwatch is so fundamentally broken that heroes routinely say the wrong voice lines and they have the audacity to expect you to pay $10 to unlock their new hero

  • Luminous_Kaze LuminousKaze (@Luminous_Kaze) reported

    Not even 30 minutes into Overwatch and I crash. THEN IT WANTS ME TO UPDATE AGAIN ;-;

  • onIinedemon freakazoid (@onIinedemon) reported

    overwatch did not fix ranked

  • Meeowphie Sophie💖🏳️‍⚧️ (@Meeowphie) reported

    So what's exactly wrong with season 4 is it cause there was next to 0 balance changes and feels the same or what's the issue overwatch gamers

  • MaestroHaru Haru はる (@MaestroHaru) reported

    I was happily playing Overwatch 2 before the update dropped with no issues. Immediately as I update the game and get in, my fps drops to literally 1 and flickers around 10 or 15 and its become impossible to even try anything in game let alone play the game. Ugh wtf.

  • tristan_snipes Tristan @ easter break (@tristan_snipes) reported

    @SloshMachineluv @CarbRollerDeco I hate the eeltail broken bridge in anarchy modes. In turf war, the bridge provides another way to go in. Provided, both times have anchors to be up top and providing overwatch. Same thing with Mahi. The towers in mid leasing to the enemy base are only present in turf.

  • formulayuki JAY🎴 (@formulayuki) reported

    A lot of these overwatch rank problems wouldn’t exist if we could see SR

  • shrpblades violet ´꒳` (@shrpblades) reported

    Overwatch genuinely needs to fix their report-review system fixed , there’s no way good dps players get banned for no reason and even less chance for tank/support players to also meet the same ends due to mass reporting or simply a blizzard employee that doesn’t play the game.

  • dustinvance65 dustin (@dustinvance65) reported

    @BlizzardCS I’ve been charged 4 times and received no currency. I wanted to buy $10 worth of overwatch coins and came back later like it said and have been charged for each attempt and received nothing. I don’t want $40 worth of overwatch coins I only want $10 please fix this I need my money

  • t0xicdva annie🥮 (@t0xicdva) reported

    has anyone else’s lag been super bad with this new overwatch patch

  • LenAirhead *** 🔞(retro arc) (@LenAirhead) reported

    @CaptainIzumoVT i mean Overwatch only used to be one continued game but they made a second one to "fix" issues and add more lore Valorant if it gets a similar treatment from Riot then likely there will be a second one from which you will not get any skins you bought moved over

  • gutg0r3 julia (@gutg0r3) reported

    am i the only one who’s overwatch is completely down…?? i just wanna try lifeweaver bro 🥺 @OverwatchDev pls fix i been waiting all day

  • Eckythumped Eckythump (@Eckythumped) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hi Blizzard. I'd like to report a problem. Competitive Mystery Heroes seems to be missing from Overwatch's competitive playlist. As there was no announcement of it being removed, surely this has to be a bug? Right???? #Overwatch2

  • Elysian_Saiyan Jared Dake (@Elysian_Saiyan) reported

    @BlizzardCS My brother is having issues logging into his overwatch account after being wrongfully banned. What can he do?

  • Slarvath goat 🐀 (@Slarvath) reported

    crystalline conflict is the closest to a real gamemode because it's just blatantly stealing the robot gamemode from overwatch, problem is there is no difference for role so the game can and will slap 5 healers on a team

  • kayakkitw kayakki :) (@kayakkitw) reported

    is overwatch lagging for everyone or is it just some lobbies

  • Cheesy_Cows Cheesy Cows (@Cheesy_Cows) reported

    fix overwatch queues please 😭 12 minute unranked queue for a 6-7 minute long game

  • ddeclan_ dec (@ddeclan_) reported

    anyone play overwatch here grinding it till there’s a xim fix

  • OMGItsKittie 💜 Kittie - Brie 💙 (@OMGItsKittie) reported

    After reverting my drivers to an older version the crashing has not been as frequent, but I am still getting them, especially on overwatch. Apex only suffered one crash tonight, while overwatch had like 4-5 of them.
