  • DeevtheKWEEN ✨💗DEEEEEEEEEV💗✨ (@DeevtheKWEEN) reported

    Is Overwatch ever gonna fix their shop LMFAO I kinda feel scammed because I topped up awhile ago for the zen OWL skin and I'm still not allowed to buy it....

  • TranTom97 Tom Tran (@TranTom97) reported

    @SYTGonTTV @SkyStarrying @PlayApex You're the one ranting on your account. "The only way to communicate is degrade your overwatch team mates." WE have issues? Bro go see a therapist and stop posting on this account before you get what kanye got. You're company is okay with this?

  • CrewBoonie boonie_crew (@CrewBoonie) reported

    I haven't been able to play overwatch now for just over a week now, all because of SMS Protect. I can't login because it says that the number is already in use. I've only ever used said number on that account, and for some odd reason it logged me out. @BlizzardCSEU_EN

  • jgibsz Joe (@jgibsz) reported

    Unfortunately when we are permitted to load back into overwatch 2 we have been given matchmaking penalties that have increased in length a lot as this disconnect happens every 5-10 games we have played. Would just like to point out that this is preventing 2/3

  • itsmiivivian Vivian. (@itsmiivivian) reported

    @stardustsummons Yeah, and besides I don't think there's an issue with playing overwatch if you don't engage with the part you have an issue with (the weird battle pass and store ****)

  • ShlongLuver TICE NITS (@ShlongLuver) reported

    Nearly 2 weeks into #Overwatch2 and the career profile is still broken @PlayOverwatch @OverwatchEU #overwatch

  • alnmcx alan (@alnmcx) reported

    been noticing that a lot of people are leaving their supports to die in this new competitive season of overwatch…anyone else facing the same issue? #overwatch2

  • Stullz84 Stullz (@Stullz84) reported

    @BlizzardCS you need to fix overwatch 2's timeout issues. Got kicked from a match while I was active but it counted me out anyway. This is unacceptable.

  • NukaSyd Syd (@NukaSyd) reported

    Overwatch needs to fix the rank system. I can be performing like an absolute god but then I lose the game and don’t rank up because my teammates are all vegetables

  • masenmatthews Masen (@masenmatthews) reported

    It makes me sad to say it but Overwatch 2 is an L so far. I say this after doing 30-40+ rounds now that it’s actually playable. It’s just…so unbalanced. Tanks too beefy, DPS too weak, and all of these problems are exacerbated by a move to 5v5. I want the original back 😢

  • GR1323587357 GR=13 (@GR1323587357) reported

    @BlizzardCS ticket number: US87336293 Would love to have someone from blizzard reach out. Been five days. Overwatch 2 issues

  • serasynx Sera (@serasynx) reported

    Damn, Overwatch 2 is unplayable ever since it went free-to-play. From the ****** launch, all types of errors, and idiotic teammates, all I feel when playing is rage, spite, and the overwhelming urge to just kms

  • CrazyCracka831 That Saltine Boi (@CrazyCracka831) reported

    @UghNeyko @TheActMan_YT The first Overwatch was $40. I’m not sure if it’s a matchmaking issue or what but I was dominating matches when first trying to unlock most of the heroes but now every match I end up losing and it’s a massive sweat fest.

  • Smith_Channin Channin Smith (@Smith_Channin) reported

    I’ve started dreaming about overwatch 2…I think I have a problem 😳

  • treesontwt Trees (@treesontwt) reported

    its 4:30 am and my sleep schedule is broken cause of overwatch but hey at least im gold in all roles now haha

  • Shokio_YT TLOC | Shokio (@Shokio_YT) reported

    Overwatch 2 is doing this weird thing where sometimes it boots up as just a black screen with the audio going. Only game that does this. Anyone else having this issue?

  • LewisDeadshot RizY_i (@LewisDeadshot) reported

    PLEASEEEEE OVERWATCH fix your competitive me and my friend have disconnected due to error 5 times and been suspended for hours now for somthing we didnt do it kicks us out and doesnt let us join back into match i went down a whole rank bc of this glitch please fix. @PlayOverwatch

  • thexerforce Xerforce (@thexerforce) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch merged my Playstation and PC overwatch accounts and I am missing the Noire Widowmaker skin on the PC but still have access to it on console. This seems to be a common issue, any time frame for when this will get fixed?

  • The_Nog_ TheNog (@The_Nog_) reported

    If blizzard can fix all this **** Overwatch 2 will be a great game and may have a big redemption arc. But don't apologize to us with a ******* new reaper skin and double xp weekend, **** OFF. Actions speak louder than words and if you really want to apologize fix this ****.

  • PixilVal Pixil (@PixilVal) reported

    my overwatch gets terrible lag, anyone know how to fix i have i9 9900k, and 2080 with 32gigs of ram, im not sure what it is

  • Bombman430 Alex Baldwin (@Bombman430) reported

    @BlizzardCS Can you please fix the login loop for overwatch 2? It is still a huge issue

  • Gctsby shane (@Gctsby) reported

    @FukoukasFinest @HisWattson @dafran Smurfing isn’t against terms of service in overwatch, I haven’t checked for apex

  • Darkheart090909 Darkheart (@Darkheart090909) reported

    @NyanSox Honestly the only thing I have a problem with in Overwatch 2 is the shop. It's just too expensive. The worst part is we have a preset standard of what legendary skins should be priced at. Thanks to OWL skins being only $10 dollars in the past

  • bunbatty Ashley🤍 (@bunbatty) reported

    They need to fix tanks health and/or damage in overwatch

  • GR1323587357 GR=13 (@GR1323587357) reported

    @BlizzardCS Haven’t heard back from blizzard support in 5 days. Server attacks (error lc 203) ruined my overwatch 2 experience can’t play competitive.
