    @PlayApex Broken moon was worse than storm point. I don't think I can fully come back to a season until its out of rotation tbh. Good luck on updates though, well done on seer and horizon nerf, took too damn long though imo. Look how quick they are balancing hero's in overwatch, take notes

  • AbyssStaring Angry Bi Enboy (@AbyssStaring) reported

    @little_lizzie22 "It is immoral to ship Hammond the hamster from Overwatch with Winston the gorilla from Overwatch because Hammond is fourteen." Nevermind the logistics of shipping a hamster and a gorilla; the problem is that the hamster is underage. Irl hamsters living 2-3 years notwithstanding.

    Overwatch 2 competitive has been broken since Day 1 when they decided not to reset MMR

  • MboyDoo DRAGON ORDER (@MboyDoo) reported

    @brafya guess overwatch got problems haha

  • Flurpledur Flurpledur (@Flurpledur) reported

    Still waiting on the matchmaking fix in Overwatch 2

  • flaffyfunk V (@flaffyfunk) reported

    @DivDead @tessuals if having constant game breaking bugs, a massive cheater problem at high ranks, and balancing that somehow manages to be worse than overwatch’s is better than yeah man for sure definitely

  • bitchzfreikugel 🌞Luzubel (@bitchzfreikugel) reported

    just gonna quit overwatch there’s no point in playing ranked rn when the game is so incompetently run that ranked has been broken since launch in different ways

  • n00bywarrior None of My Biases are Safe (@n00bywarrior) reported

    @Surefour Most of the problems come from not the gameplay. The ranked reworks, the matchmaking changes, the monetization changes, all of it is much much worse than Overwatch 1.

  • RealKomi_San MarvinaTheMartian (@RealKomi_San) reported

    @ComicLoverMari the thing is the battle pass live service system works for a l o t of games, thats sorta why overwatch 2 went to the battle pass system, people want this to die BUT THEY KEEP SUPPORTING IT WITH THEIR CASH MONEY ANYWAY its just... ehh

  • J_Tea282 J.Tea 🍵☃️ (@J_Tea282) reported

    I've honestly given up with playing Overwatch. Its almost the end of February and I'm still getting LC-202 Errors that kick me out of matches constantly, and I've tried everything to fix it.

  • Xzism_ Xzism 𒉭 (@Xzism_) reported

    After 4 months of overwatch 2 on the Xbox series X, it’s still buggy and plays horribly. Performance mode is a joke you get 1 game on 120FPS and then you get hard locked at 70fps until you restart your game. Fix this @PlayOverwatch @Xbox

  • ii3moorNai ii3moor (@ii3moorNai) reported

    @R0WEX DDOS? Overwatch? Since when

  • AlkrisNorm Norm Alkris (@AlkrisNorm) reported

    @WeaponOutfitter I started with 10th MTN as an AR and I’m goofy footed. No problem with the SAW left handed at the range or in a defensive or overwatch position, but once you have to get mobile you gotta get flexible.

  • LunaticMonkey23 Dellaith (@LunaticMonkey23) reported

    @OWCavalry I just want them to fix the career profile bug, I miss my Overwatch 1 stats

  • MldGhost GeneralMLD (@MldGhost) reported

    @ZakkenKloot Many of their games will flop in pursuit of the 1 or 2 good ones. Xbox better off “inheriting” successful live service games like Elder Scrolls Online, World of Warcraft and Overwatch 2

  • lesseramixx LUCA🎧💕 (@lesseramixx) reported

    overwatch fix ur matchmaking abeg

  • Supyro Simon | last of us era (@Supyro) reported

    "The game's balance is better than it has been since the release of Overwatch 2" That's not saying much. The balance has been absolutely broken since the release of OW2.

  • BigTendiez HIMalayus (@BigTendiez) reported

    My main issue with Overwatch is that it’s not enough enemies to kill lmaoooo. Something slightly underwhelming about killing 3/5 of the enemy team even though that’s 🔥 technically speaking

  • guardianmad Maryam | GuardianMAD (@guardianmad) reported

    overwatch its freaking broken. keep getting failed to connect to server but its not my internet bc i get put into games that are legit 3 people, without no other people able to join the game, not even duos

  • beccaksoles Becca (@beccaksoles) reported

    @BigT_Wasteman Nah back to league! Matchmaking in overwatch 2 looked extra broken.

  • Lento1z Lento1z (@Lento1z) reported

    From m4 to d1, but how is that possible. I have games now with people that don’t even know how to play… it’s terrible pls overwatch fix this

  • cemeteeryy cemetery (@cemeteeryy) reported

    overwatch is going to decay sooner than later if it does not get its stuff together.. the matchmaking is completely broken, SMURFING IS STILL A MASSIVE ISSUE and the game still feel stale. they learn nothing from their past mistakes #Overwatch2

  • keyawnce3  America. America Has A Problem𓆣 (@keyawnce3) reported

    @Nayib_Cardenas @PeterOvo5 It’s not gamepass fault at all but I can only hope they fix it fr. And yea I like it a lot I been playing it more than overwatch surprisingly

  • tiredegrl ✩eepy (@tiredegrl) reported

    i once got broken up with because i didn’t revive my ex on overwatch

  • RogueShadowUnit Dan (@RogueShadowUnit) reported

    @NevsWife @zooweemamma69 @DeadByBHVR With a live service game like DBD making a sequel wouldn’t be too likely. And I don’t think that would necessarily be a good thing. They can just balance things out in the current game or do major changes. The only live service game to make a sequel would be Overwatch. Well yea..

  • SWIFFTKID SWIFFT (@SWIFFTKID) reported

    @Lerman_Levi @iFireMonkey I've seen a few different theories, one of them being that a spray tied to the skins was directly traced from an Overwatch spray and so they don't want to release the cosmetics until they can find a replacement out of fear of legal trouble. Or they just aren't finished lol

  • Muffin_Mythos Muffin Mythos (@Muffin_Mythos) reported

    Overwatch has a really big problem with one-trick heroes. There’s so much bs in the game where someone can just exploit a super OP ability the entire match without any thought, and get free kills with zero effort or timing.

  • JonTPeterson Jonathan Peterson “Pete” (@JonTPeterson) reported

    @Genki_JPN Making or breaking a deal over one game is stupid, in my opinion. COD is the largest, I get that. But you know Overwatch, Diablo, Tony Hawk, Spyro and Crash are all under ABK as well. And they are all available on multiple platforms, so taking any or all of them away is just as/
