Btw, Overwatch is still a great game. That was never the problem. The problem was the lack of updates which led to stale metas. Devs gotta turn that mindset into a grindset.

Some people really think they're roasting the Overwatch devs by pointing out problems in the beta. ***** that's what a beta is for lmao

@KingNullBoi1 @DMG100_ A fix for some. An easy solution to this issue appears to be making sure Overwatch is installed, and booting it up. Once open, simply close the game, click the Globe next to Game Version, and change your region to Europe. Then boot up to the start menu again.

@ItsPeepance i tried it just to see what the hype was about cuz i saw everything blow up about overwatch 2, its pretty much exactly the same as it was, i'd say they killed the original game with the years of no updates because making 2 but it was a trainwreck filled with issues from the start

if you buy enough loot boxes in overwatch 2 maybe the employees will be allowed to go home for the night, think of that as a public service

Now about Overwatch 2 since I've finally tried it: ngl I feel underwhelmed, it's a bit disappointing, I feel like it's really centered around DPS and they're really strong, almost broken overall.

Bastion looks so broken in Overwatch 2. Tell me now, how the Shield he had in the Beta for the first game was OP?

@SN8WBALL @PlayOverwatch Ok, go to your normal overwatch, click where the game version is, and you can switch it to overwatch 2 beta. I had the same issue myself but they don't specify this anywhere.

This is an Overwatch launching against more entrenched competitors - several of which are free and have 800-1000 people dedicated around the clock to keeping them updated - and having already broken the trust of a lot of people who felt burned by the last one.

Overwatch 2 so far still hasn't fixed the ongoing problem of people not wanting to play support enough to result in reduced DPS or (sometimes) tank queues.

Short version: I played Overwatch 2 so you don't have to. You'll hear a lotta people say it's a totally different experience, or a totally upended, completely new game. It's uhhhh not. It sure is Overwatch though, and that's sorta my main issue with it. Let's get detailed!

Overwatch 2 beta has it’s issues but the real problem is the lack of redesigns in the game.

@OW_ICED If you think overwatch 1 and overwatch 2 are the same game with the same graphics then you are the problem.

alright so, @PlayOverwatch my problems and opinions on Overwatch 2! A thread. I play on an ultrawide 21:9 monitor. The whole game has these really thin black lines on the left and right. Im pretty sure this is unintentional Also, “While you wait” doesnt fit in the box properly.

Queue times in overwatch 2 are insane for both tanks and dps now, In OW1 it was only for dps. I'm getting 8 min queues on both tank and dps with a fastpass. I thought 5v5 was supposed to fix queue times not make it worse for another role. FIX YOUR GAME BLEEZEER NOOOOOOOOOW

@StreifelLuke @NyanSox I’m not. I’m complimenting Overwatch 2. It’s a new, better game. They fixed almost all my main issues with OW1, and I like 5v5 more than I expected.

Why did you turn Overwatch into a scuffed COD?! We liked the game because it wasn’t a brain dead FPS. Fix this now - All support players. @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch2

Wanted to go to bed earlier but was having so much fun playing OW2.. was about 45 mins of “OK, this is absolutely my last round” before I logged off.. Tanking is so fun, new maps are great, reworks solved a lot of problems! Great game so far! #Overwatch

@My360Suckssss @msmills22 @Doublelift1 OW2 PvP is free if you own OW1 the only thing you get from buying overwatch 2 is basically a story mode essentially the problem is how blizzard have called this overwatch 2 when it’s clearly just an expansion/DLC

@Stewy497 @Rapscallion_Art We can't have nice things because idiots who don't know how it works will just complain that it's broken, hence all of the "fixes" overwatch got.
