  • danfromaus Sir Daniel Hobson (@danfromaus) reported

    I gotta play Overwatch 2 in short bursts, cause otherwise I’m liable to have blood pressure problems. Today I encountered a tank that tried to be sneaky. Thankfully I, the support, was there to push the payload. Lots of thanks to the Mei who was with me as well.

  • BlizLive serBliz (@BlizLive) reported

    Sorry for the stream inconsistencies, have personal stuff going on but trying to stay on track, Apex is still causing performance issues on stream, Overwatch 2 is running fine on the other hand.

  • BlueScarred Dupe💜 (@BlueScarred) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ No ******* way you said zar was a issue in overwatch 1 almost any charater could survive long enough to do something against her until bubble went down but now it’s literally impossible to interact near her, her direct counters even struggle to deal with her now???

  • Erase_Mii16 Erase Mii (@Erase_Mii16) reported

    Overwatch 2’s biggest problem is the fact that it was made by blizzard

  • Schmallky Schmallky (@Schmallky) reported

    @a_sharples @scree06 I honestly have a lot of problems with this "F2P" model Overwatch 2 has taken. Battle passes AREN'T always good models! I'd rather have paid once for the game and get everything than perpetually pay forever for eeeeevery little thing.

  • baronj67 Baron J67 - LV1⚡ (@baronj67) reported

    @ohkairyn That's rough I've been seeing a lot of people feeling the same way on this app. I never really played overwatch before ow2, does it feel broken in comparison?

  • YiffMan SPOOKYpurr is ✨ OPEN FOR COMMISSIONS ✨ (@YiffMan) reported

    im gonna be real and i know its cringe but i really like overwatch 2. my main problem with overwatch 1 was all the cc and they got rid of all the annoying **** lol. but please bring back lootboxes i dont care if you give them worse odds or w/e i just wanna be a f2p player

  • The_GM_is_God Ben 🎃🍂 (@The_GM_is_God) reported

    Almost every issue I have with Overwatch is a result of its battle pass change

  • ZachBroy zachyyy boy (@ZachBroy) reported

    Does anyone else have issues with overwatch and crashing yoirbpc when you alt tab? Never had issue when using my 1080 but it started when I got my 3070. Don’t want to run in window mode

  • TheAmberBerries AmberBerries (@TheAmberBerries) reported

    @Dr_Fiv3 If it wasn't overwatch lootboxes, it'd be csgo crates. Or a slot machine in a casino. Gambling problems always have and always will exist. That's not to say lootboxes are GOOD. They aren't. BUT - they are better than the current store system that FORCES everyone to pay.

  • comfyyurucamper comfykit (@comfyyurucamper) reported

    getting a crash course in every overwatch tank that isnt dva later, i have got to end my life no longer are the days where i can one-trick dva to diamond

  • N0xAeterna N0x Aeterna (@N0xAeterna) reported

    @BlizzardCS I keep getting sporadically disconnected from Overwatch 2 servers this morning. Are there known issues today? My internet connectivity is not showing any issues when I get disconnected.

  • TheAmberBerries AmberBerries (@TheAmberBerries) reported

    @Dr_Fiv3 This system is more predatory than lootboxes. Since not only does it prey on people with a problem, it also preys on your average consumer that doesn't have a gambling problem but suffers from fomo Again. Read the entire thread before replying. Overwatch lootboxes were the -

    Fully expecting the OW2 Halloween event to be broken when it launches tonight. It always seemed to happen in the original Overwatch.

  • DollsKilling Ani (@DollsKilling) reported

    @AngelxoTv I think it has to do with overwatch releasing that patch where they fix peoples rank.

  • TheAmberBerries AmberBerries (@TheAmberBerries) reported

    @theemagi If you spent an amount of money you could afford to spend it aint a problem really. If you had spare money you wanted to spend, it's not buying overwatch skins over eating, it's not really the same. People can waste their money on a new couch and it isn't a couch addiction.

  • mefreeced 🐻 FrEEKed (they/them) (@mefreeced) reported

    Just realized my mouse has been broken for some time. Will getting a new one make me better at Overwatch? Or is this how I find out I'm a lost cause?

  • tomwarren Tom Warren (@tomwarren) reported

    @JezCorden Overwatch has the same progression / reward issues as Halo Infinite now. I dunno if I miss loot boxes, but I do miss getting rewards outside of this battle pass

  • mamaorder motheroforder (@mamaorder) reported

    @Kotaku I gave up playing Overwatch when I last logged in and played support/tank for several matches then tried to play DPS and wound up waiting in the queue for 30 minutes. It's a broken system.
