    @BlizzardCS Hello! Having issues having Overwatch Recognize my mic for chat in game. I have done everything on the support page site and even uninstalled my drivers and reinstalled them all. Any or all assistance would be great! Or let you choose your direct input in game as well

  • Raska86794834 Raska (@Raska86794834) reported

    I could play them all! So I figured it was just a glitch and my hero’s were fine. And it turns out it was because soon I got disconnected and then once I got back in the locks had vanished. I haven’t had the bug happen again. Some Overwatch players haven’t been so lucky

    Well I’m no longer in a queue to play Overwatch 2 on Series X. But it takes forever to find a game now. When I do the players on my team have skill issue. They’re absolutely ****. And the other team probably use XIM. This launch has been a ******* joke
