  • xcxrse_ Curse (@xcxrse_) reported

    2/3 I was confused because an update was rolled out that overwatch 1 players didn't have to do SMS, but regardless it was a screen I couldn't bypass so I linked it. Then, everything was gone. All my skins, heroes, icons, everything. I tried looking everything for a fix but

  • Ejopl1 Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus (@Ejopl1) reported

    @TinoTheTyrant @krembeni Yup that's what I had in mind. The main issue with OW2 redesigns is that LITELARY NO PLOT HAPPENED since that scene in one of the cinematics, were Winstom reactivates Overwatch, so there is no plot to base the new designs on. Except for Bastion.

  • ItsssTitchhh Tayler Watterson (@ItsssTitchhh) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Please fix statistics menu, every time I log on to overwatch 2 time played, kills, wins etc keep resetting …

  • HughHale10 Moon wHale (@HughHale10) reported

    @RackhamRishel That Meta guy on youtube was just trying to make trouble but I did have to take a look at you and overwatch partners that FUDDER was just trying to street cred on you you should if you have a few minutes tell him to back off with the rumors!

  • DeaconThick THEThickDeacon (@DeaconThick) reported

    @_DooleyNoted_ @Blizzard_Ent Speaking facts!!!!! I'm a tank main and I was Gold/plat in overwatch 1 now I'm in Bronze 5. Apparently there's a glitch where even though you're trying to climb out of bronze 5 you still will remain in the same tier

  • Giocap23 G (@Giocap23) reported

    @BlizzardCS I still don’t have any of my characters from overwatch one unlocked even though I played since day 1. Is there any way to fix this?

  • ChloInTheFlesh chloe (is a pumpkin) (@ChloInTheFlesh) reported

    bruh, the overwatch 2 bronze 5 glitch is hell. i am not as good as the people i keep getting matched against, why are we the same rank.

  • GicecreamG Sean (@GicecreamG) reported

    Yknow I was so excited for overwatch 2, I think I was genuinely more excited than that of my irl friends. But between the extreme rubber banding I’m getting or not even being able to sign in. I’m genuinely defeated and it makes me depressed because all that excitement was wasted.

  • inpartisicuru a scary ancient man (@inpartisicuru) reported

    i dont feel particularly tempted to ever look at overwatch again but even if it looked good i dont think i could ever derive as much pleasure from playing a game as watching blizz crash burning into a big pit of dynamite

  • Ethanjw244 E-J (@Ethanjw244) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @OverwatchEU @BlizzardCS I did not get all of my stats from overwatch 1. Everything went fine with the merge until today I turn it on and I only have 23 hours in total which I had 34 the other night. Fix this.

  • SenpaiiSoul Soul (@SenpaiiSoul) reported

    @BlizzardCS I lag out a ranked game in Overwatch 2 and wasn’t able to log in to Overwatch. It kept giving me an login error

  • Rolandvz Roland Veasey (@Rolandvz) reported

    I hope they can fix some of the lag issues because I'm having a lot of fun with Overwatch 2

  • Verlaxify Verlaxify (@Verlaxify) reported

    Overwatch stream today since Fortnite doesn't want to load up on Streamlabs. I'll be on soon I have to fix the whole setup because it got all screwed up.

  • Zax_An_Gd Zax An Gd (@Zax_An_Gd) reported

    @ATVI_AB @XboxSupport I have a problem when I play overwatch 2 on Xbox Series X because when I get the achievement while playing, it logs me out and it says "YOUR PROFILE HAS BEEN LOG OUT AND DISCONNECTED FROM SERVER"

  • InsomniaVenom Im x Insomnia (@InsomniaVenom) reported

    Does anybody else still get disconnect from Overwatch 2, when getting an Xbox Achievement?

  • thaisseu thais 🎲 (@thaisseu) reported

  • bts7aehyung haᕱᕱah (@bts7aehyung) reported

  • Hoppingmadking Basil (@Hoppingmadking) reported

    Love that overwatch 2 is so broken... people are abusing thr bastion unlimited beams work in comp

  • Nea_VT Nea_VT (@Nea_VT) reported

    Blizzard you are on more money then ever rn for overwatch. fix ya ****.

  • hypnyatized Remi (@hypnyatized) reported

    @Ceclia899 I dont think rewoking him was the problem; overwatch 2 is a very different game, he almost definitely needed changes to stay relevant But... not like this lmao It also doesn't help that bastion has two abilities, just right click and shift, it really feels like he's missing one

  • A_Spooky_Lad Spooky (@A_Spooky_Lad) reported

    Overwatch 2 is broken. Btw I hope they nerf Sigma.

  • hashtagfreeron NotMyJailEraAgainOMG (@hashtagfreeron) reported

    @SunsetSilvally Never played the game. The only overwatch thing I know is that it came out during grade school for me. SO what's the problem with the second one?

  • aarontvandy Aaron Taylor VanDyke (@aarontvandy) reported

    Do any other Overwatch 2 players have an insane amount of comp points on their account? I randomly have 8,000+. Hello golden guns…? A glitch? #Overwatch2 #OW2 #Blizzard

  • DirtReginald ReginaldDirtGoblin (@DirtReginald) reported

    @infrarogue89 Eh idk these all seem like soulless cash grabs. Overwatch is the most overrated game I've ever seen, Diablo 3 took them what, 12 years or some **** and instead of building off that they just make a new one. COD just sucks **** and Crash may be good, I hope it is at least.

  • TouchOfAlice Alice (@TouchOfAlice) reported

    @spjderr @OppWavy Not the best point of reference, apex controller is ******* broken to the point of pros switching to compete or having at least one controller on their team. But i defo agree with the sentiment. It should be like overwatch where controller gets zero AA

  • Barreldragon65 Dewayne Lawyer (@Barreldragon65) reported

    I'm having a hard time TRYING to play Overwatch 2. Gave them my phone number for the SMS code, and they have not sent me one. Anyone else having same problems?
