    I’m not smart enough for all these computer problems. I just wanna play overwatch😭

  • bambistarcandy ella ♡ bts luvr (@bambistarcandy) reported

    i have issues bc all overwatch does is make me think of koo

  • TrandoshnTrojan Lil *** Curt (@TrandoshnTrojan) reported

    @Julia_CaSsian Spot on post. However I don't think the entirety of the problem lies in game design. FPS games like overwatch are popular because u can pick up and play them, no grinding required, and the kids who play games these days are into instant gratification.

  • OlibiasTV Olibias (@OlibiasTV) reported

    @NoungahTV Problem is, if we started to look at everything we paid for with such a fine brush, we'd never buy anything CoD, WoW, Overwatch - Bobby Kotick pay and bonus are a direct correlation of the success of those games Riot Games - not a single person was fired in the 100m lawsuit

  • CalamariGaming Calamari Gaming (@CalamariGaming) reported

    @BlizzardCS I’m having 2 problems on Overwatch 2 (ps4). 1 I’m missing skins and other cosmetics after merging my account, and 2 for some reason my time played keeps changing, such as removing hours off of characters or not saving the time when I play. pls help. Ticket: US87583077

  • The_ArtsyBee ArtsyBee (@The_ArtsyBee) reported

    @BlizzardCS I’ve been kicked out of competitive games 3 separate times so far in Overwatch 2 and it hasn’t been because of any problems on my end. It sucks getting a suspension and having to wait because of an issue that’s not my fault. This issue definitely needs fixed.

  • greenball_141 Greenball141 (@greenball_141) reported

    @alexvcsgo @Natesonn You don't have to play ranked to have an opinion of a game fruit cup. It's not my problem you can't take other peoples opinion. Get overwatch's **** out your mouth homie, it's not a good look. And obviously you swallow the loads because you over here salty af.

  • ToxnaTTV Toxna (@ToxnaTTV) reported

    try out overwatch... lets pray we dont crash boys

  • StraightOutTha1 VRTCL 👑 GUDDA (@StraightOutTha1) reported

    @ChipzyOnMK Overwatch utilizes more tracking /reactivity and CS and val is more static hence why I think they're kinda struggling but if you're a good aimer this shouldn't be a problem lol

  • nyctiluna luna (@nyctiluna) reported

    some overwatch female players rly have bad self esteem issues. theyd do anything for male validation atp

  • vinterp2 vinter (@vinterp2) reported

  • girisilvest Giri (@girisilvest) reported

    Im gonna stream video games in 30 min if anyone would like to watch. Gonna do some competitive overwatch and then maybe try some crash 4 perfect runs

  • thebl4ckd0g Chris aka Blackdog (@thebl4ckd0g) reported

    Tried to play some @PlayOverwatch 2 on the tail end of my lunch break. Got in a match. And it was stuck on the last drop of Overtime. Another day, another Overwatch is still broken, @Blizzard_Ent. Hopefully @BlizzardCS is already on top of it.

  • KSIDerpyHooves KSI DerpyHooves (@KSIDerpyHooves) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Overwatch needs to show people's ranks and they need to fix the system ain't no way higher ranks should be playing with lower rank people

  • ErnestBorgTen Ernest BorgTen (@ErnestBorgTen) reported

    On Overwatch 2's support problem: Finish the job you started when you dropped the 2nd tank: do the same for supports. Buff all the support chars (especially off-supports like Zen) and make Overwatch 4v4.

  • bugansu juju (@bugansu) reported

    overwatch unexpected error message is really starting to piss me off cuz why am i getting 8 hour penalties

  • me0wkittykat 🛸 KAT • he/they 👽 (@me0wkittykat) reported

    it is absolutely insane that people who use pre-paid phone service plans can’t play overwatch 2… like why?? even people who paid for ow1 can’t access their stuff anymore. it’s absolutely criminal and this needs to be fixed immediately @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent

  • KingSavageShaun KING (@KingSavageShaun) reported

    @ThatGuyThen @pcgamer I loved Overwatch 1, but abandoned overwatch 2 already. The game has too many balance problems to list in a tweet. It killed my love of the game very quickly to the point that unless they heavily overhaul it, I am done for good

  • BiWhait Blanco (@BiWhait) reported

    @PCSpecialist @HMGaming @LogitechGUK #HMGaming #NewDimension Marvel Spiderman Miles Morales, MH Rise, Overwatch 2, and some emulator...my poor old broken pc will say "thanks for this" if i win, i would try to repair it to give it to my mum bc she needs a little pc for her

  • LazyGenGamers Chowder908 (@LazyGenGamers) reported

    @pcgamer Judging by all the overwatch players already complaining about heros being unfun and broken and seeing them argue amongst themselves already. History already repeating itself what killed OW1 lmao.

  • EevlynnWasTaken Alex (probably) (@EevlynnWasTaken) reported

    overwatch 2 wouldn't have been so bad if there wasn't an objectively better game to compare every part of it to the only issue is that the better game in question is overwatch

  • ainomeaD Daemonia (@ainomeaD) reported

    "Not only that, but gamers have experienced a multitude of problems with matchmaking as inexperienced n00bs have been put in games against top players." This was part of a story on my news feed. Since when WASN'T this a problem with overwatch competitive mode?

  • rarebelly 🐼🐻belly🐲🔞 (@rarebelly) reported

    @OpTicValUpdate @conthecatch_ @Natesonn That is a fallacy, just because Blizzard has had bad string of terrible practices doesn't mean everything they dish out will be mediocre. Despite the hate train Overwatch got on social media it still reached a high player base count. Loud minority yapping and then they go login

  • crucifiedx 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐲 ⎊ (@crucifiedx) reported

    When are you going to fix matchmaking in Overwatch, @BlizzardCS? Overwatch veterans are tired of playing with newbies. It’s draining our motivation to play and not even to mention the fact the lootboxes are gone and y’all expect us to pay for skins now lmfao.

  • swissghoul_l laura Ω 🎃 (@swissghoul_l) reported

    I also changed the graphics settings of overwatch to see if overwatch was the problem but nothing worked

  • BiWhait Blanco (@BiWhait) reported

    @PCSpecialist @HMGaming @LogitechGUK #HMGaming #NewDimension Marvel Spiderman Miles Morales, MH Rise, Overwatch 2, and some emulator...my poor old broken pc will say "thanks for this" if i win, i would try to repair it to give it to my mum bc she needs a little pc for her bc we have no much money

  • wookietim Timothy Collins (@wookietim) reported

    @WoodSylva @DigDougXD It's kinda the same way I feel about Overwatch 2 - there was no reason that release day problems like they suffered should exist. They have the experience and resources to have avoided it.

  • TheDerpJames James (@TheDerpJames) reported

    Is something broken with the Hero Gauntlet on Overwatch? I keep getting stuck as Ana because my kills don’t seem to count. I managed to get about 5 kills as Ana without switching to the next character. 🙃

  • Pinksouly Sage / Astra ☾ ❦ (@Pinksouly) reported

    Why am I still getting (Lc-208) error codes on overwatch? when are they gunna fix it
