Playing support in Overwatch 2 feels basically impossible. You are squishy as hell. Healing feels slow. And now you're expected to also dps. It's weird to play a game that has been so refined over time and yet still feels fundamentally broken.

@HPDynasty_ Flash fan was always fairly unfun, but flash was definitely a problem on its own for tanks. Generally, if I got flash fanned in Overwatch, it was my mistake that caused it.

Really getting fed up with the amount of abysmal, #DumpsterFire excuses for people queuing as heals in @PlayOverwatch. It's an utter plague in Quick Play right now and they need to fix this in Overwatch 2 if they aren't going to fix it in the first game. :(

overwatch 2 is 100% going to cause more issues for blizzard's and the series reputation so i think it's now a matter of making sure that damage isn't too bad. there has never been a better time for valve to take the idea of a team fortress 3 or tf2 update more seriously.

Thinking about all the zero-sum video games I've invested in over the years, and I can honestly only think of 3. Super Smash Bros. Melee, Overwatch, and most recently, Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel. The problem I have with zero-sum video games is I tend to get burnt out on them.

Why is overwatch 2 so broken worn a controller on PC, was overwatch 1 the same?? I’m searching for a game so I go into a death match, but holding X is to cancel the search X is also reload or change hero, I literally can’t do either, it tries to cancel the search

@Rafies7 @ModernWarzone BO4 lost the plot by dropping campaign mode to jump on the battle royale hype train. The multiplayer became a semi realistic, hyper generic version of Overwatch. And the game had so many lingering crash problems for a large chunk of players. It has no business being in top 15.

Biggest issue with solo queing in this beta is that for some reason my team doesn't play point and like to run to the enemy team without any backup because they think their a super hero then complain about dying. #Overwatch #Overwatch2 #competetive

Same in #Overwatch: If I am in the main menu or play against bots - the sound is normal. But as soon as I join an actual match, the sound quality goes to ****. I bought a new computer with Windows 11. Ever since then, I have this problem. I never had this problem. What to do?

I was watching a streamer playing overwatch for like 20 mins, and I had no idea it was ow2 because it looks just like ow1, lol. I think this is going to be a huge problem, oh and there was one new hero. What is blizzard even doing anymore? #Overwatch #blizzard #gaming

@M0LA3 Also OW2 seems to be more story focused, which is not a bad thing. The actual problem is that the Overwatch story suckkkssss

Overwatch 2's beta matchmaking isn't looking very good at all. All the problems present in the first game are still here. Particularly waiting 6 minutes (with pass) to get into a game that's already started and one minute away from ending just makes me not want to play at all.

Overwatch 2 beta is so much fun. I know this is gonna sound so stupid but they should just roll it out as is and dig through the issues. Just having a game mode that no one knows any strategy for is amazing.

I get feeling Blizzard thinks the issues that led to Overwatch falling out of favor were based on gameplay design and less how it was handled. All the issues that caused me to leave were management issues like MM, loot boxes, and poor player moderation.
