  • ItsVengey Vengey 🦉🕳️ Owl VTUBER 🕳️ (@ItsVengey) reported

    Just spent TWO HOURS trying to figure out why Overwatch 2 would not launch and I just now got it to work Here's what I did in case anyone else has the same issues...🧵

  • James_The_Ace James The Ace (@James_The_Ace) reported

    @KennyFBoi My supervisor said its literally overwatch 1 with 1 new character and a few balance patches along with a **** ton of bugs and a new map or 2. All under the guise of being a new game just so the servers could crash. Marketing101 working at its finest.

  • ItsxLioness @HEIRLIONESS 🎠🧩 (@ItsxLioness) reported

    I got my 120hz monitor and don’t have the patience to stay getting kicked out overwatch servers in the middle of the match I was winning. Please fix your servers @PlayOverwatch

  • enatsushiro shiroshiroshiro-chan (@enatsushiro) reported

    Tbh, overwatch 2 has been a fun train wreck to watch, every day it seems some new problem pops up, first it was "not enough server lol", then it was "do you not have phones?" now it's "there is a bug that forces you to buy cosmetics and no you will not get a refund, seethe"

  • madsanchez09 Vacationing Labor (@madsanchez09) reported

    Honestly getting a reaper skin and a health pack weapon charm as an “apology” for Overwatch 2.0’s problems feels more like an insult

  • JohnIsDie John (@JohnIsDie) reported

    My issue with the new overwatch skins aren't the price. It's very comparable to most f2p skin prices so idc. My issue is how mid they are. They do not look good at ALL lmao

  • CrabLord9 CrabLord (@CrabLord9) reported

    @locoghoulSwitch Or lets talk about other games as well. Stuff like LoL, Overwatch. Games known to have a toxic community. Its because the game has serious problems that generate that type of toxicity.

  • gagasluts GAGASLUTS (@gagasluts) reported

    Grimes is coming to fix every problem in overwatch 2 i just know it

  • Zatoi11 HVC Zatoi 🇺🇦 (@Zatoi11) reported

    OVERWATCH FIX THE BUG WHERE I CAN'T PLAY SUPPORT WHEN MY GIRL QUEUES TANK AND WE ARE ALL BRONZE!! #Overwatch2 #overwatchbugs @PlayOverwatch

  • YunoHuVT Yuno Hu Pre-Tubing (@YunoHuVT) reported

    Overwatch since launch has had several errors such as: Unlocked characters being locked Friends list deletion Ridiculous queues to get in the game Xbox users getting DC'd after getting achievements Sitting on homescreen too long gets DC'd Suspensions for getting DC'd

  • Dariencredible Dariencredible (@Dariencredible) reported

    Is it me, or are the Overwatch 2 servers getting worse? 3 of my last 5 games have ended randomly because of a server error, and the 4th one had one of my teammates get booted on the last turn of Kings Row. I love the game, but it's super unstable right now #Overwatch2

  • Tyfirna Noodle (@Tyfirna) reported

    Overwatch 2 is so broken. I literally started a match falling though the map.

  • Spifmick Mothman's Adderall Dealer (@Spifmick) reported

    I’m so glad Blizzard did nothing to fix #Overwatch and op easy heroes but at least there’s a battlepass

  • Shokio_YT TLOC | Shokio (@Shokio_YT) reported

    Gonna attempt to run Overwatch 2 ranked and hope I don't get hit by the bronze glitch. Link in replies/bio.

  • Saintafie Blue-Eyes White Phosphorous (@Saintafie) reported

    overwatch 2 review: roadhog is so broken that you can pop off with him - even if you don't have a reticle

  • Jupiter_247 Jose L. Perez (@Jupiter_247) reported

    @PlayOverwatch There's an issue on Xbox where you get kicked to the title screen when you earn an achievement. It's very frustrating when you're about to win or in general playing and you get kicked out! #Overwatch #Overwatch2

  • BW22__ BW22 (@BW22__) reported

    Overwatch 2 now has bugged challenges and also somehow reset my unranked matches to 1 hour after having about 200 hours. What the hell is goin on over there. It’s a different problem(s) every day!

  • Marketi86945010 logan (@Marketi86945010) reported

    @BlizzardCS Overwatch is taking a whole lot of memory for some reason, and I have a lot of memory, lot of friends having this issue. It crashes due to memory overload.

  • JustClickNWatch CistReactZ (@JustClickNWatch) reported

    Has anyone ever had an issue where they watched the four hours for the Kiriko skin for the Overwatch 2 twitch drop but their battle net account never received the skin even though I checked and the right was linked and connected to my twitch?

  • GildedTabby We’re Comin’ At You Anyway! (@GildedTabby) reported

    @Tylerr_Creative @JumentoBR99 @Bolverk15 I do agree that 6V6 had many issues, but I don’t know if I like this more. Part of what I liked about Overwatch 1 was that it relied on skills other than JUST aim, such as positioning and game sense. That’s less relevant now, because the abilities that enabled that are gone.

  • GH0STBLVDE million (@GH0STBLVDE) reported

    im getting the overwatch 2 error that has to do with my network connection but overwatch is literally the only game on my console having this problem

  • Datastreak1 Data (@Datastreak1) reported

    @ImJustNajam @SpaceTiger94 This game did not just come out lmao. It’s overwatch with a 2 painted on it. It’s not out of the question to assume they’d do something during a release, rather than fix the broken mess of a game they have

  • tylerrozwell13 Ty (@tylerrozwell13) reported

    Twitch is being **** IRL now. The Overwatch 2 launch was hilariously bad, but Blizzard has "apologized" for it I guess. Modern Warfare 2 has the same phone # problem as Overwatch 2? Blizzard best refund people after thar auto purchase glitch. Overwatch 2 has bad Fp2 monetization?

  • keeganfrost__ keeg (@keeganfrost__) reported

    call it copium if u need to idrc but the overwatch ranked glitch with the bronze **** has made it impossible to climb with support

  • SmittyGuyYeah Smitty🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈 (@SmittyGuyYeah) reported

    The ranking system in overwatch 2 is actually broken. I have above 10k healing in most of the comp games I play and yet I'm somehow a bronze 5 support and now I am unable to leave bronze 5 with the same performance. This launch is embarrassingly bad

  • Porthunax Kody (@Porthunax) reported

    Welp with Overwatch competitive being bugged with locked ranks, not sure what to dooooo, am addicted to a broken game 😭

  • xPYLx Pyel (@xPYLx) reported

    I thought I would like Overwatch 2 but until they do some reworks and balancing idk man, not feeling especially the aim issue for console

  • almost_poe Poe, (@almost_poe) reported

    *someone voicing a legitimate complaint about #Overwatch * Every comment: “SKILL ISSUE UR BAD UR JUST BAD GO DIE SKILL GAP GET GOOD SCRUB BAD U SUCK”

  • cwaigposs Punisher Skull Furry (@cwaigposs) reported

    @MinhazHx @BlizzardCS I'm sorry bro but lizard squad ain't showing up specifically for the launch of an already widely panned "game" (update) and disrupting ONLY that service, not even any other blizzard games or anything just overwatch. Taking down Xbox live and PSN at least meant something

  • GH0STBLVDE million (@GH0STBLVDE) reported

    apex of all games runs smoothly with no lag whatsoever but i overwatch 2 claims my internet is ****???!
