    @xUnrelenting I dont like the direction it's heading. It's just turning into overwatch with so many abilities going off at once and the audio issues being a persistent issue. Not to mention the solo que experience is one of the worst I've ever played, idk man. It's just alot on my mental

  • nixiebuttghey Nixie (@nixiebuttghey) reported

    @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch2 are y’all gonna ever fix pc players not getting their origins edition and special skins like noire from overwatch 1? Because it makes no sense.

  • CitraFox Spoopy Fox (@CitraFox) reported

    Gave it another go and Overwatch 2 still not working PS5. Login not possible. Well, Blizzard had their chance.

  • shigonshia lol (@shigonshia) reported

    @Zephy_Monarch @Garfieldisdoc deadass i feel like if they did do siege 2 similar to overwatch so change the meta completely, add a few new things but not too much where it doesnt feel like siege, and fix bugs and try to battle cheaters better than siege will be revived and could potentially become huge again

  • AgostiniElijah Elijah Agostini (@AgostiniElijah) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent You need to fix your matchmaking. People coming into overwatch 2 without prior experience and ranks are put with diamond and above team comps. They are literally garbage at the game and drag the team down. Y’all need to figure this **** out because AINT NO WAY

  • VEGAN432hz sun loa ogun good 🌞🌏🌊 (@VEGAN432hz) reported

    Forbidden to overwatch Ingelheim movie production and at same time work for ZDF - please completely disconnect crews and in so far influence on something- do not privately follow - it’s twisting and bending and not sane or safe at least untie no bounds in between 🪨

  • iGemCityGoon Ryan Hunter (@iGemCityGoon) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent is there an issue with the account merge on Overwatch? I’ve went through the queue 4 times and it just restarts.

  • StyroNo_1 StyroNo1 (@StyroNo_1) reported

    Wish Overwatch 2 would stop kicking me out and giving me login in errors 💔

  • mist_steak questionable skitty (@mist_steak) reported

    @CelinaM1996 @memes187032321 @VSPalerts the problem isn't him playing games i would've done the same the problem is he's playing overwatch

  • Ven_RPG Spooky VenRPG 🎃👻 (@Ven_RPG) reported

    @BlizzardCS Would really be nice to get official word on the weekly challenges for Damage Mitigated, Damage Done, and/or Healing Done not tracking for Overwatch 2... So many people have been having these issues for the last 2 weeks and missing out on rewards.

  • JamesLaycook1 LazerLaycook (@JamesLaycook1) reported

    @Hakalattack_ For overwatch if you play in pc lobby’s you get no aim assist, yes .4 isn’t as bad as .6 but when 9/10 close range gun fights go to the roller player that’s an issue, and if the CEO of apex who player MNK since the beginning of the game is swapping to roller that’s a statement

  • Katt2ne Katt (@Katt2ne) reported

    @BlizzardCS I got Overwatch 2 for the first time around last week on my pc. Yesterday I got it on my switch and connected my account. All my data is saved, but all the data on my career profile (quick play wins, etc.) is gone on my pc and switch. Is there a way to fix it?

  • Lagizard lagizard •+• (@Lagizard) reported

    I unironically hope they never fix the POTG in Overwatch 2

  • Lard_Thrills Kagesauron (@Lard_Thrills) reported

    Ok **** you overwatch, tf man you can't even login into your account on another console without a number again

  • Mrsnuffles7 Mrsnuffles (@Mrsnuffles7) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent I'm sure you're not aware of the issue that on console we can't spectate a friends game in progress like in Overwatch 1 just another failure. I'm sure you'll fix it in a year

  • PyarThePro PyarThePro (@PyarThePro) reported

    @LifeatBlizzard @Blizzard_Ent Please fix the phone thing. I have a overwatch 1 account made before 2021 on Xbox but it still wont let me join. SMH. You are stopping a good amount of your fan base to play.

  • nephtez Nephtes (@nephtez) reported

    Hey @BlizzardCS is there a reason the “official” Overwatch 2 Known Issues list is not kept up to date on your forums? Last update was October 10. Xbox Achievement disconnection know. issue was never added to the list. Has it been corrected?

  • philliydude Budget Seth Rogan (@philliydude) reported

    Overwatch literally punishes you for having **** teammates... how is it my fault when I pull my weight ever game and my other DPS wont swap off reaper when i have double his dmg... YEAH THATS TOTALLY A PROBLEM I CAN FIX FOR MY NEXT OW RANKED EXPERIENCE!!!! dogshit game

  • redfish_yt Redfishyt (@redfish_yt) reported

  • MemoryLotus Lotus (@MemoryLotus) reported

    Love having overwatch crash before loading into the lobby then giving me a comp match suspension for 15 minutes!

  • SimpySloth SimpySloth (@SimpySloth) reported

    @virginmedia costing me ranked games on Overwatch 😩😩 fix yo ****! #virginmedia #Overwatch2 #northlondon

  • flatpibbextra pomegranitebitch (@flatpibbextra) reported

    @Arikadou Overwatch adopted the same system literally every FPS or shooter that’s live service has and people are losing their mind. Where was this with halo, apex, fortnite? Not everyone knows how to reinvent the ******* wheel. Yeah there’s some things they should change, but it’s not bad

  • AdrianO41051479 Adrian Oliveros (@AdrianO41051479) reported

    @ArtworkLoco @theloserface1 @DailyTF2Memes I play tf2 a lot, and I have played a bit of overwatch before leaving it, and let me tell you brother, the problems I listed compared to the problems you listed I like comparing a mountain to a pebble, you probably don’t even play tf2 and have heard of these [1/2]

  • Malachai_gaming Malachai Gaming (@Malachai_gaming) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hey I’m having issues with Overwatch 2 need you guys to contact immediately or I will go to a lawyer in the morning about my account getting fixed

  • Dienamicc Travis (@Dienamicc) reported

    Ive played overwatch for two days and it’s already broken me down already. Teams are just bad. Lol it was a good run I guess

  • InjectChicken Inject Chicken (@InjectChicken) reported

    @PlayOverwatch fix your game. For both tank and support I've been placed in bronze 5. Even though I was gold for support in overwatch 1 and with tank I consistently get above 20 eliminations and do more damage than dps while mitigating so much damage. Yeah totally deserve bronze

  • CybonikAutoma Cybonik Automa (@CybonikAutoma) reported

  • WookieeFPS Jacob/Wookiee (@WookieeFPS) reported

    Overwatch 2 is a 6/10 until they fix putting me in a match at defeat. Happens at least 20% of the time.

  • AnxoAwoo Anxo the Punk Wolf 🐺 (@AnxoAwoo) reported

    @Queen_Aya_Leona I think the collective of the internet is overwatch 2 sucks from all the bugs and issues for being a “new” game but I honestly don’t know anything since I haven’t had the chance to try it out
