    @XDestroyerpx @wbgames @multiversus What is wrong with you? You go into an overwatch comp game, scream a bunch of nonsense and then throw the match. The entire team reported you. What do you get out of that? Grow up. Can't wait for you to get banned. You've got real problems

  • TriangularRoom Abigail Holden 🦄 (@TriangularRoom) reported

    Got into Overwatch 2 last night. No login queue this time. But also...I had to queue for 1-2 minutes to get a mystery heroes match. 3 days after launch. I was expecting almost instant matching at this stage, honestly

  • LAYZ_PH LayZ (@LAYZ_PH) reported

    @BlizzardCS I keep getting “unexpected server error” every time I open or try to log into Overwatch 2. Any fix for this?

  • araziatu #1 peggle master (@araziatu) reported

    I can't log into Overwatch 2 on Xbox. My main account is going into an instant LC-208 error, whereas my other account is able to log in no problem. Nothing has helped. I have hard reset and powercycled my console, tried signing out, etc. @BlizzardCS

  • McH2Oz McH2Oz (@McH2Oz) reported

    Overwatch POV: Let’s fix a couple bugs… Meanwhile let’s break a couple hundred, go backwards, so all of the merged accounts can’t play again like they couldn’t before It was a fun 24 hours?

  • BatmanBugha 2AM Batman Bugha (@BatmanBugha) reported

  • Haremuking_u Šuav£ (@Haremuking_u) reported

    Came home excited to play overwatch 2 with da homies. Was greeted with a error code and was unable to play. Probably the first time we sat in a call in months 😔

  • teepsart teeps (@teepsart) reported

    im sorry for ranting about overwatch again but they seriously arent addressing any of the console issues like at ALL when it comes to the login errors. i havent even been able to PLAY overwatch in the past like 3 days, and they keep saying theyre addressinfg the issue but nah

  • Youngjae_Lee295 샤오첸루 (@Youngjae_Lee295) reported

    I swear... despite the queues to get in Overwatch 2 ran fine just like OW1, then they take the servers down later than they said and now the game is lagging very hard for no reason even if there's no queue. Don't brake your game more as you try to fix it, please.

  • gayearthbender toph baefong (@gayearthbender) reported

  • RazorAZ678 Ray (@RazorAZ678) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Over 1,000 hrs on Overwatch 1 and years of waiting. Now I can’t even log in because of que or disconnect. Payed for pre release day 1 and beta.

  • CCole137 Atomic57 (@CCole137) reported
