  • Rami_Zian Rami Zian (@Rami_Zian) reported

    @LinusTech Overwatch 2 optimization, and I'm not even joking @PlayOverwatch, I can't play it on my PC anymore because of rendering device lost error and it's the only game with this kind of problem

  • g_kub_warned_u g_kub_warned_you (@g_kub_warned_u) reported

    @g_kub_official elon needs 2 buy overwatch and fix it!!

  • Mllllller Miller (@Mllllller) reported

    @Giupeee @PlayOverwatch I love that you as a child can’t even comprehend you poor poor children it’s almost like this is overwatch2 is the sequel to overwatch one because the first game flopped after only a year from this exact same issue 🤔 suck for U clearly I don’t even like this game. Hahaha

  • obislover kris♡ (@obislover) reported

    I’m sorry but why is it fair that the defeat counts when a random ******* leaves. It shouldn’t count at all and if they are worried about them exploiting it then make it where u go down a whole 4 levels for leaving like pls this is ridiculous. Overwatch needs to fix their comp bs

  • JoPaWrites Daddy JoPa (@JoPaWrites) reported

    Warzone 2 and Overwatch 2 both are showcasing how PVP gaming is crying out for something fresh. I don't think either game is bad at this point, they are just too similar to their predecessors. Same for Fortnite's brief resurgences or the issues with D2 Crucible.

  • N0lanButter Nolan (@N0lanButter) reported

    @BasedMexx Overwatch is crazy cuz one of the hottest characters in the game literally killed first game so bad they had to make a sequel just to fix it

  • SC21012022 studiosoundguy (@SC21012022) reported

    @ZayaVRC @rd_chang @RubenSargasm Yeah, can’t stand competitive in overwatch, not when people leave, matches teleport you into other maps, you crash, not worth it, I’d rather vibe qp, let the kinks get ironed out and jump into comp, I also play mercy / lucio and Ana as well, so it’s not like I’m stuck to one hero

  • Hey_itsjustMads mads 🫠 (@Hey_itsjustMads) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS plz fix overwatch queue times

  • ehn_ey £hney (@ehn_ey) reported

    Hog wouldn't even be an issue if Kiriko cleanse didn't negate the effectiveness of Ana nade and other heroes' abilities... like, yeah, Overwatch is all about counterplay but playing Ana or JQ in to Kiriko should not be a complete throw that is bad game design

  • goldc01ns matt 🎻 in my tweeting era (@goldc01ns) reported

    ive started playing overwatch 2 on my switch due to being on vacation, i can never see anything at any given time because of the lag and joystick

  • YellowImposter Tyler (@YellowImposter) reported

    Overwatch 2 is so fun but character patches aren’t released fast enough. We will have broken hero’s for 3 weeks and then they’ll buff characters that didn’t need buffed instead of nerfing the broken character

  • speedgoblin rat sorcerer (@speedgoblin) reported

    @BabyAzathoth The problem is i hate overwatch after they ****** up torb

  • EveThe0ne EveTheOne (@EveThe0ne) reported

    @ShilohBat Most overwatch players do have mummy issues so it checks out.

  • CherryColaFPS CherryCola🍒 (@CherryColaFPS) reported

  • Rainbow_Paws__ Flora//Fauna (@Rainbow_Paws__) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Hi, I bought credits in Overwatch 2 to get the Vampire Bat Echo skin, as it says its available for purchase. But it keeps giving me a purchase failed error message. My battle net recent transactions says I've bought it tho?

  • cameron56704119 cameron cox (@cameron56704119) reported

    @OverwatchCaval I think you people should contact the overwatch devs and fix the applying update bug instead of showing off skins. Stop showing off skins and maybe help for once and help fix the game.

  • Geeil_ Geeil (@Geeil_) reported

    Gonna attempt to stream High On Life again tonight hopefully it doesn't crash every time i get into a part of the story where a bunch of shooting happens smh if it does we will switch to overwatch but hopefully everything goes fine Stream @ 7pm eastern

  • Aarow_16 Aaron Anderson (@Aarow_16) reported

    @Arathos_FK This isn’t enough. They need WoW, CoD(all of them), Spyro, Crash, all the Diablos, Overwatch, Skylanders, StarCraft, Tony Hawk, Cod Mobile, Candy Crush and more just to compete with the market leaders.

  • CASINO_0W Casino (@CASINO_0W) reported

    So y'all now that it's been a bit since the hot fix patch, how do y'all feel about the state of Overwatch? 🤔W or L patch?

  • SaiDahMiMo SaiDah₂ (@SaiDahMiMo) reported

    @cameron56704119 @OverwatchCaval Dude thinks cause they have overwatch in the name and a check mark they can just speed dial Aaron to fix ****

  • Tricky187 Rick (@Tricky187) reported

    @100Thieves Valorant is the shooter to hone your CSGO vibes (overwatch **** is dumb) fortnight is just fun and casual and MW2 is laggy and broken. Apex is a shield blaster unplayable

  • highqltyfilm ayush (@highqltyfilm) reported
