  @BlizzardCS I’ve been kicked out of competitive games 3 separate times so far in Overwatch 2 and it hasn’t been because of any problems on my end. It sucks getting a suspension and having to wait because of an issue that’s not my fault. This issue definitely needs fixed.

  @NoungahTV Problem is, if we started to look at everything we paid for with such a fine brush, we'd never buy anything CoD, WoW, Overwatch - Bobby Kotick pay and bonus are a direct correlation of the success of those games Riot Games - not a single person was fired in the 100m lawsuit

  @OpTicValUpdate @conthecatch_ @Natesonn That is a fallacy, just because Blizzard has had bad string of terrible practices doesn't mean everything they dish out will be mediocre. Despite the hate train Overwatch got on social media it still reached a high player base count. Loud minority yapping and then they go login

  I also changed the graphics settings of overwatch to see if overwatch was the problem but nothing worked

  @WoodSylva @DigDougXD It's kinda the same way I feel about Overwatch 2 - there was no reason that release day problems like they suffered should exist. They have the experience and resources to have avoided it.

  @Julia_CaSsian Spot on post. However I don't think the entirety of the problem lies in game design. FPS games like overwatch are popular because u can pick up and play them, no grinding required, and the kids who play games these days are into instant gratification.

  overwatch 2 wouldn't have been so bad if there wasn't an objectively better game to compare every part of it to the only issue is that the better game in question is overwatch

  @pcgamer Judging by all the overwatch players already complaining about heros being unfun and broken and seeing them argue amongst themselves already. History already repeating itself what killed OW1 lmao.

  VRTCL 👑 GUDDA (@StraightOutTha1) reported 29 minutes ago

  @ChipzyOnMK Overwatch utilizes more tracking /reactivity and CS and val is more static hence why I think they're kinda struggling but if you're a good aimer this shouldn't be a problem lol

  it is absolutely insane that people who use pre-paid phone service plans can’t play overwatch 2… like why?? even people who paid for ow1 can’t access their stuff anymore. it’s absolutely criminal and this needs to be fixed immediately @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent

  Is something broken with the Hero Gauntlet on Overwatch? I keep getting stuck as Ana because my kills don’t seem to count. I managed to get about 5 kills as Ana without switching to the next character. 🙃

  When are you going to fix matchmaking in Overwatch, @BlizzardCS? Overwatch veterans are tired of playing with newbies. It’s draining our motivation to play and not even to mention the fact the lootboxes are gone and y’all expect us to pay for skins now lmfao.

  On Overwatch 2's support problem: Finish the job you started when you dropped the 2nd tank: do the same for supports. Buff all the support chars (especially off-supports like Zen) and make Overwatch 4v4.

  "Not only that, but gamers have experienced a multitude of problems with matchmaking as inexperienced n00bs have been put in games against top players." This was part of a story on my news feed. Since when WASN'T this a problem with overwatch competitive mode?

  Tried to play some @PlayOverwatch 2 on the tail end of my lunch break. Got in a match. And it was stuck on the last drop of Overtime. Another day, another Overwatch is still broken, @Blizzard_Ent. Hopefully @BlizzardCS is already on top of it.

  @OWAnonymous_ Overwatch needs to show people's ranks and they need to fix the system ain't no way higher ranks should be playing with lower rank people

  @ThatGuyThen @pcgamer I loved Overwatch 1, but abandoned overwatch 2 already. The game has too many balance problems to list in a tweet. It killed my love of the game very quickly to the point that unless they heavily overhaul it, I am done for good

  @alexvcsgo @Natesonn You don't have to play ranked to have an opinion of a game fruit cup. It's not my problem you can't take other peoples opinion. Get overwatch's **** out your mouth homie, it's not a good look. And obviously you swallow the loads because you over here salty af.
