    I might make a new Overwatch account and ruin the competitive integrity of the game because Activision-Blizzard won’t fix the bugged Top 500

  • PhoenixKona PhoenixKona (@PhoenixKona) reported

    @BlizzardCS i don't have the two golden weapons I bought for junkerqueen and sojourn. the next week I came back they were just gone. I'm pretty sure this is a glitch because on the overwatch forms a lot of people's gold weapons are missing from junkerqueen and sojourn.

  • Nes_Bitt_ME John E.W Keely (@Nes_Bitt_ME) reported

  • JadeFurryVR Jade Furry (@JadeFurryVR) reported

    Got around to playing Overwatch 2 and seeing if they changed anything about the tutorial. Noticed a shadow bias error on Tracer during the level.

  • DeadStateCora Dead State Cora (@DeadStateCora) reported

    Gotta love "progress". 8 of our Pros previously had Overwatch digitally. We have since upgraded them to PS5s. The first one I update auto connects. The 2nd one is mad at me because I need to add my phone number. Problem is my number is already in use for my PC. GG @Blizzard_Ent

  • JavisAqt javi (@JavisAqt) reported

    Anyone else having disconnect problems with overwatch and blizzard? I got suspended for 15 mins when my internet is just fine. This is kind of frustrating.

  • full_hearts 🎃The VVëans🎃 (@full_hearts) reported

    has overwatch 2 fixed the problems from overwatch 1? no but is it a good game nevertheless? also no

  • _J0hnDoe_ M. Chanandler Bong (@_J0hnDoe_) reported

    The biggest problem of ranked games in #Overwatch is not the game itself. It's the player's "big brain". At least in gold... They're either "better than everyone" or "were diamond on OW1", so the fault's never theirs. How ironic for a game based on teamplay 🤡

  • starryhymns vecc 💕 (@starryhymns) reported

    the problem with overwatch is that there is no difference between ranked and unranked so all the 4k hours copers try their hardest on meta picks in unranked

  • EchoKi1001 エコー (@EchoKi1001) reported

    Overwatch fix ya ******* friends list Idk why, but mine is empty even though I have people added :/

  • Maattee98 Mattee (@Maattee98) reported

    @Shokio_YT @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch As a self-proclaimed representative of Blizzard Entertainment, we kindly request that you go **** yourself =) as we will be doing nothing of the sort. Also, if you would like, please consider purchasing the $69.99 Overwatch 2 DLC that unlocks bug fixes related to your issue.

  • aura_core AuraCore Vtuber (@aura_core) reported

    @TheMilfPrime OverWatch 2 is free I don't pay for it because the predatory business got worse since blue boxes were taken out. I just don't pay attention to the drama because that's too big for anyone to fix

  • Lord_Gr33d Kyle Raymond (@Lord_Gr33d) reported

  • Revan89209709 Revan (@Revan89209709) reported

  • LukeMeades LukeM06 (@LukeMeades) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Ever since Overwatch 2 came out my Xbox has always had trouble playing with my friends or even connecting to the Xbox network/internet, let alone an actual match

  • badguy974 badguy974 (@badguy974) reported

    @JMW_BOYZ Deck will be great when they do these things: Smaller/lighter form factor (something closer to G Cloud) Better batt life Higher quality display More compatibility with online games (destiny/overwatch etc) The thing is I think the issue is X86 for size/battery, may not fixable :(

  • celco2k Gracked up shawty (@celco2k) reported

    i honestly cant imagine being so broken that id play any overwatch game

  • D4veTheNinja D4veTheNinja (@D4veTheNinja) reported

    @PlayOverwatch for the love of God, can yall acknowledge the blatant issue thousands of people are having‽‽‽ I have not been able to log on to Overwatch 2 since this stupid *** Halloween event. I'd contact your support team but my Xbox doesn't have diagnostic files. Please fix
