  • SteveDeVos8 Steve De Vos (@SteveDeVos8) reported

    @OverwatchEU Overwatch 2 PlayStation 5 beta fix please

  • BrownDrDoof Heinz Doofenshmirtz (@BrownDrDoof) reported

    @SamitoFPS I would genuinely be okay with it, the problem is that it comes with Overwatch 1. Like I’m basically pre-ordering Overwatch 2, what the hell do I want Overwatch 1 for? If it didn’t have that, I would’ve bought it by now

  • NinfuBuns Ninfu (@NinfuBuns) reported

    Part 3: I will very sad if Total Mayhem is not playable in Overwatch 2. I will still purchase the game and continue playing pvps/multiplayer games but MY HEART IS WILL BROKEN 😞 w/o TM.

  • shenkowicz Shenko (@shenkowicz) reported

    @YourOverwatchYT Having a really good time for someone who barely touches Overwatch 1 these days to stop giving myself hair loss sessions. I will say supports are in dire need of more attention and characters, and Junker Queen feels like she does a little too much. The health boost is a problem.

  • ChampionReva Reva (@ChampionReva) reported

    Overwatch 2 is a thing currently so I'm just gonna be tweeting random thoughts about that for anybody who cares: I feel like playing defense currently SUCKS, but I can't tell if that's an issue with how the game is currently balanced or just the players.

  • Vozzi002 Zac (@Vozzi002) reported

    Having some problems with my knee, so won't be playing VR on stream today. Maybe some more overwatch? 🤔

  • resident3vil1 spiderman (@resident3vil1) reported

    @BlizzardCS The overwatch 2 beta is not working what is happening i waited for 2 days almost

  • FroggerOW FROGGER (@FroggerOW) reported

    everytime im streaming overwatch my bitrate just seems to flucate from 7k to 4k constantly making my stream quailty look like ***, it wasn't like this last week so im really confused on why it's doing this :( any people good with obs settings or any idea what could fix it?? ty :(

  • FlawSocial SocialDesignFlaw (@FlawSocial) reported

    Symmetra (Overwatch 2): She's a support. She enables those around her to do their roles better and always has, they simply split those elements of her kit across Damage and Support. Half a hero in either role. Let's fix that-

  • GiraffeDJ 👑 The Bad Guy 👑 - Raffle pinned! (@GiraffeDJ) reported

    @lavendervein I tried that too, it let me play like 2 games before kicking me again, I'm still testing different options to see what it is, might even just be the age of the PS4 or somthing like that but I have a similar thing happen when I play overwatch so I don't think it's a dbd issue

  • GoldenVaultKing Urdnot Zane (@GoldenVaultKing) reported

    Now granted I was not the biggest fan of getting aggravated during the overwatch test stream but to be honest the fact that I did not lag opens the door to play it at least so that’s what we’re gonna do here in about 5 to 10 minutes potentially someone might be Joining.

  • jaymarvel Jay Marvel - See work early on my Patreon! (@jaymarvel) reported

    Playing Overwatch 2 beta. The new characters are hella fun and I like Push modes in any game. 5v5 with one tank seems like it’ll be fine. But my main issue is that visual cues for taking damage seem so toned down that sometimes I don’t know when I’m dying/near death.

  • geekbaldy Dana/chicken little/geek! (@geekbaldy) reported

    @PlayOverwatch as a DPS player, in overwatch 1, DPS always get blamed for each issue, even if you get picks each fight. but now that we can see whos putting in work, there should be way less scenarios where people put the blame where it doesn't belong #overwatch #overwatch2

  • Robin74769699 Robin (@Robin74769699) reported

    Dear Overwatch community, please realize that Junker Queen is a new hero. When new heroes release they tend to be overpowered and over time they get nerfed until it’s no longer an issue or they’re semi-balanced. Balancing takes time, please be patient.

  • Yourietje_ow Youri (@Yourietje_ow) reported

    Now there are some problems with this, which is heroes getting updated and needing new tutorials. But if you keep it relatively basic this shouldn't happen too often. It's hard for a casual to get into Overwatch sometimes because of the lack of explanation, it's very overwhelming

  • BrackenBuddha Brakkun (@BrackenBuddha) reported

    @PlayOverwatch there is a HUGE HUGE HUGE bug in the current Overwatch 2 beta build where sometimes if you grapple on to a wall as Ball you ping across the map and then get dragged by your grapple through ever wall in the map back to your last know location. Please fix :)

  • GoldenVaultKing Urdnot Zane (@GoldenVaultKing) reported

    Apologies everyone to be honest the events that led up to the crash are just too odd I have a very bad lag spike and then I crash for a few minutes and I just couldn’t connect for safety I’m not streaming overwatch anymore it’s just the events are too weird

  • ShedewTweetz Shedew (@ShedewTweetz) reported

    @Ninja Overwatch surprisedly, I’ve broken mice & keyboards. But Warzone also pisses me off but I haven’t broken anything yet

  • alyeshaplays ur lil strawberry (@alyeshaplays) reported

    my overwatch 2 beta thoughts (PS): 🤍 mercy yeets herself in the air too easily, it’s kind of a problem? 🤍 the screen with the stats is not easy to read during game there’s so much info 🤍 the music is full drama 🤍 bap is maybe op i won a push map entirely by myself basically

  • THCdonor Donor Gaming (@THCdonor) reported

    Bloodhunt, sucks because it literally has the same issues as it did when it was in BETA. The Cycle is wayyyy too grindy for it not being that fun. Fortnite, is well, Fortnite. And I stg if someone else suggest Overwatch 2 when it comes out ima flip my ****

  • econosopher Mario, Markets, and Microtransactions (@econosopher) reported

    I don't know what to make of Overwatch 2. They decided to blend it into the original Overwatch as a significant update or rebirth. I only churned because of the lack of live service, not the core gameplay.

  • shystitch_ Shy Stitch【ENVtuber】 (@shystitch_) reported

    Anyone else having the issue of not being able to sign up for overwatch 2 beta??? Like the opt-in option isn't there for me. Just says thank you for participating.
