  • smooothoperata_ 🏀-SMOOOTH-🍥 (@smooothoperata_) reported

    @xLilChaosx I have not played and will not touch that game until they care enough to fix it. Overwatch 2 has been fun when I can log in lol

  • PSMTTV PeaceSeekingMissile (@PSMTTV) reported

    @ShittyHaloTakes Overwatch 2 "patched out" two characters for being broken but then locked more than half the roster for people who actually bought the game. It was a mess! (They fixed it same day though something 343 could never ever do)

  • xDarkSider420 errenzi cheffà (@xDarkSider420) reported

    @OverwatchEU Can you please fix your ******* server ? On every game i have a ping of 30, on overwatch It goes to 200 and i cannot ******* play

  • Cam46937762 Cam (@Cam46937762) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Lagged out 3/10 games today, it’s BS that shouldn’t be a hard fix, worked perfectly other overwatch, it’s stupid, if I get thrown out of a game because of crap servers then not be able to join back then I sure hope that I don’t get a loss for it, unbelievable game

  • Khiba023 Διπολικός (@Khiba023) reported

    Overwatch 2 is ******* horrific to play, the heroes are either extremely weak or stupidly broken, they've worked so long on this game, and I hoped that scrims would be better than competitive, like it always had been. I was treated to a pile of **** Bilzzard call a sequel.

  • flesch_brandon Brandon F. (@flesch_brandon) reported

    @zombiedestory9 @PrestigeIsKey @Activision I have pre paid and i’m just fine. I had no issue playing overwatch

  • LoCoRoC37782417 LimeBaw (@LoCoRoC37782417) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Nah you guys gotta fix this rank system. I was gold healer in Overwatch 1 and I am S5 in overwatch 2. I try to get up but I just go against golds in overwatch 2 aka plats and diamonds. It is just to hard to climb up when I lose over and over again. PLEASE FIX THIS.

  • VLX_Blacky Jack (@VLX_Blacky) reported

    Anyone else's Overwatch just crash and can't get back in?

  • Poolw0rm Diego brando (@Poolw0rm) reported

    overwatch 2 same with overwatch 1 just they changed shaders and loot system ı hate new battle pass system this is to expensive.Battle pass cost is 10 euro and some character too broken.but overwatch 2 has good game play ı hope looting system come back @PlayOverwatch

  • HI_CRAWLER vyr ✩ writing hell (@HI_CRAWLER) reported

    i need to go back to 2016 so i can tell the overwatch community that bastion is eventually gonna get himself removed from the game temporarily for being too broken (over a simple ******* bug fix)

  • MichelleOkyo michelle (@MichelleOkyo) reported

    i actually had overwatch 2 ddos’d so twitchcon wouldnt clear up the queue times. there i said it i admitted it

  • reyes_jaiden SmoothOperator™ (@reyes_jaiden) reported

    @Dexerto Y’all analyze stuff too much. Its watered down overwatch 1. If you liked OW then you’ll probably at least have a little fun because its new, you guys will quickly see its just the same game only that it limits you more. None of the issues in OW1 were addressed almost at all

  • TheRealPNuut Nut (@TheRealPNuut) reported

    What problems with overwatch 2 will I have today

  • mathsavoie Mathieu Savoie (@mathsavoie) reported

    @RaulVargs @IdleSloth84_ COD, Diablo, WoW, Overwatch, Crash Bandicoot, Candy Crush COD on Gamepass Come on man.

  • shhtpost Smoke🎄⃤ (@shhtpost) reported

    @LochetMartinet @FitzyLeakz thats not a problem. the problem is fortnite in overwatch

  • pri_rev_ate 😈🫶🏾 (@pri_rev_ate) reported

    The only way I see Overwatch 2 continuing to be successful is if broken meta’s don’t pop up

  • xo_elektra Elektra (@xo_elektra) reported

    Is anyone else pissed that they paid over 60$ for the 1st Overwatch when it came out? & now we can't even play a game we paid for?! I don't want OW2!! 🤬the 1st was better. Refund. Fix this @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch2 #Overwatchfanart #whydidipayforthefirstgame

  • MagneticClown MagneticClown (@MagneticClown) reported

    The best game mode in Overwatch 2 is the LC-208 error that pops up when I try and boot the game up.

  • cumtosenpai Rude (@cumtosenpai) reported

    @Phyerx If you lose the first fight you quickly run into the good old overwatch 1 problem of your team completely ignoring your group up requests. And then you get rolled. Difference between push and 2cp is, there's no second chance. Once you're rolled you don't get to swap sides. GG

  • gxldrvshh gold @ ISHIN HYPE!! (@gxldrvshh) reported

    Hell, I wouldn't have a problem with the battle pass existing in Overwatch 2 if they kept loot boxes in the game as well. A way to get in game currency at not a snail's pace by simply playing the game.

  • imawaffle2 Waffle 🧇 (@imawaffle2) reported

    Not to sound like a shill but I do be really liking overwatch 2 despite its tons of issues

  • GwenRenegade Gwen (@GwenRenegade) reported

    Overwatch 2 is super fun, the constant crashes are not. Especially when you get a leaver penalty for the crash.

  • JustinDavidSmi2 JustAn0nion (@JustinDavidSmi2) reported

    Man Overwatch 2 is fun but I really cant get over my sensitivity issues Ive tried different combinations in the options but nothing feels correct What was the reasoning for making it different to OW1? It's so frustrating how I can't even play characters I enjoy because of this

  • mistbased Ikaika (@mistbased) reported

    I like Overwatch 2 but after going 19/20 on Cleaning House and then seeing it pop up again this week I probably won't play Season 2. Especially if there are issues preventing me from playing for hours at a time like in the first week. @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch2

  • NotReyze Dan 🌩 (@NotReyze) reported

    @kos1_i The only different this is that i run ow on 1920x1080 and apex in 1728x1080. And overwatch running at 600fps but that not the problem right ?

  • Shokio_YT TLOC | Shokio (@Shokio_YT) reported

    Wanna stream Overwatch 2 ranked but apparently it's still not working cause apparently Bliazzard has never made a video game before.

  • 7R0bin7 Bees? (@7R0bin7) reported

    @BlizzardCS I connected my xbox to my battlenet account and it took me off my Overwatch account onto a new one and now I cant go back to my old account which I’ve had since around 2017, all of my skins, levels, etc are gone now. How can I fix this?

  • HodgyyBeatts18 Kyle Hodge™ (@HodgyyBeatts18) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I STILL don’t have my skins from overwatch 1. Please fix THIS.

  • FearlessFPS 😶‍🌫️FrightlessFPS😶‍🌫️ (@FearlessFPS) reported

    @GranzTV If Overwatch keeps not working will you keep doing this? 😳

  • Gh0styPhantom 🎃Ghosty👻 (@Gh0styPhantom) reported

    Overwatch 2 is genuinely the worst thing everade because as soon as it came out I started having trouble keeping up with schoolwork, its bad for me
