  • Tiger_Fan_4Life *Grizz4Life* (@Tiger_Fan_4Life) reported

    @futiveslol Overwatch is fun. I'm playing that until they fix some of this💩 I feel like they just robbed everyone who bought the game to level up guns for this pos beta of a game

  • skullwub Skuwwy (@skullwub) reported

  • medley_zZ kieran (@medley_zZ) reported

    Why do overwatch players refuse to switch if the character they’re using just is not working 😤

  • KrispyKreamFn KrispyKream (@KrispyKreamFn) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I don’t know if it was a glitch but my overwatch when I logged in said I got a free sojourn skin

  • vyperist lee (@vyperist) reported

    is it just me or do y’all have trouble joining people in overwatch?

  • xthisislollo Lorenzo (@xthisislollo) reported

    @gravygaming3 @PlayOverwatch Same issue for me, can’t even start the game on my ps4 since the Overwatch 2 launch

  • claymorespears Whaler (@claymorespears) reported

    @kayjii There's only two things that killed overwatch 1: brig, and then stoping all content and updates. There were numerous bad/unbalanced patches all through it's life cycle, that's not a significant issue for 90% of players. Just keep updating regularly.

  • 0kKing_ ghøst (@0kKing_) reported

    I hope overwatch does lag tonight for no reason so I can try to reach diamond and stop playing this game and be hapyy

  • ObviousThrower W Avoid (@ObviousThrower) reported

    @Jykrow @overwatchleague @TeamYouTube No blizzard like to drop patches that supposedly fixes thing and funny thing is if you read the patch notes it says something about fixing the overwatch league which it did not and after the patch note don’t fix anything they pretend it did and sweep the problem under the rug

  • ChunceLord nope be gone (@ChunceLord) reported

    @PlayOverwatch overwatch fix your game please. Invite system is not working immediately following your “patch”. Fix the ******* game. Thanks.

  • NoPulseGames NoPulseGames 🇺🇦 (@NoPulseGames) reported

    @Smile__Marks @zastelatv these problems with ALL fps games. It's a sad truth that fps games are just not profitable with the model Overwatch had anymore when games like Fortnite were raking in millions more just off of an overpriced item shop and a $0 entry cost

  • TonySim32342113 Doyle692017 (@TonySim32342113) reported

    @OverwatchEU currently there is an issue with teaming up on overwatch 2 since the last patch as nobody I know can team up as invites don’t work anymore. (PS5) hope this can be fixed.
