  • Cam46937762 Cam (@Cam46937762) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Lagged out 3/10 games today, it’s BS that shouldn’t be a hard fix, worked perfectly other overwatch, it’s stupid, if I get thrown out of a game because of crap servers then not be able to join back then I sure hope that I don’t get a loss for it, unbelievable game

  • Distelcles Dieselrose (@Distelcles) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS So when are you ACTUALLY going to fix the LC-208 error code that is still happening? 2000 players so far on your forums and more pouring in by the minute waiting for you to fix this. #Overwatch2 #Overwatch #blizzard

  • lastking1879 LastKing (@lastking1879) reported

    @BlizzardCS Help, every time I get an achievement on overwatch I disconnect. I’m on Xbox. This has happened so many times I’m banned for 8 hours. Is there any way the ban can be removed?

  • Rami_129 Rami (@Rami_129) reported

    @A_wild_torterra @KilroyOW Me and my friends stopped playing because of i. I just hope they at least realize and notice that it’s an issue and just reset to the old sensitivity from Overwatch 1. I thought it was just me at first literally unplayable.

  • MasterS87171590 MasterSteve (@MasterS87171590) reported

    @Nitro9G @Gabrielgames98 @CODMW2Informer I used a phone without service for 4 years. I recently got myself a phone number for overwatch 2 this week so it's a completely fair point that this man is making. Not everyone have a phone number.

  • peter_dozal Peter Dozal 🪴 (@peter_dozal) reported

    @gaming_cores @OWAnonymous_ I would absolutely rather have a fully flushed out PVE game then lame *** gimped OW1 style PVE missions. PVE in OW1 was so ***. absolutely overwatch one was extremely consumer friendly. That’s the problem, it made no money and then the game died. lol

  • xDarkSider420 errenzi cheffà (@xDarkSider420) reported

    @OverwatchEU Can you please fix your ******* server ? On every game i have a ping of 30, on overwatch It goes to 200 and i cannot ******* play

  • MK_Syruup Syrup🗡 (@MK_Syruup) reported

    @frolicinbrine I remember back in overwatch 1 there was a glitch that tracer could go inside the bell she could hold the point the whole game

  • cumtosenpai Rude (@cumtosenpai) reported

    @Phyerx If you lose the first fight you quickly run into the good old overwatch 1 problem of your team completely ignoring your group up requests. And then you get rolled. Difference between push and 2cp is, there's no second chance. Once you're rolled you don't get to swap sides. GG

  • xo_elektra Elektra (@xo_elektra) reported

    Is anyone else pissed that they paid over 60$ for the 1st Overwatch when it came out? & now we can't even play a game we paid for?! I don't want OW2!! 🤬the 1st was better. Refund. Fix this @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch2 #Overwatchfanart #whydidipayforthefirstgame

  • MasterS87171590 MasterSteve (@MasterS87171590) reported

    @Gregori72148943 @Gabrielgames98 @CODMW2Informer I never had a phone number until this week. I've own multiple phones without service for atleast 4 to 5 years until this week for overwatch 2. During those years I simply used messenger between all my friends and family with the occasional help of free over the wifi phone calls.

  • MichelleOkyo michelle (@MichelleOkyo) reported

    i actually had overwatch 2 ddos’d so twitchcon wouldnt clear up the queue times. there i said it i admitted it

  • goopxr eros 👹 (@goopxr) reported

    @medel_raymond I thought APEX was money hungry… deadass never had a problem getting skins I want on there. Overwatch takes the cake which is wild because Overwatch 1 was the least money hungry game I’ve ever played

  • LoCoRoC37782417 LimeBaw (@LoCoRoC37782417) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Nah you guys gotta fix this rank system. I was gold healer in Overwatch 1 and I am S5 in overwatch 2. I try to get up but I just go against golds in overwatch 2 aka plats and diamonds. It is just to hard to climb up when I lose over and over again. PLEASE FIX THIS.

  • Medigluant Healslime (@Medigluant) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ - always have terrible issues with dps waiting games - add 3/4 new characters only, just do a new skin for hero already present in the game - no new content - free = less, buy = cuckold Overwatch 2 is definitely a downgrade, how is this still working ? It’s a shame !

  • Loopylee106 Yellow ⚜️ (@Loopylee106) reported

    my main issue with overwatch 2 atm are the players. People keep leaving games or playing poorly. Some of the worst players I've seen in any game ever. The whole experience is soul destroying, especially as a mercy main...

  • FearlessFPS 😶‍🌫️FrightlessFPS😶‍🌫️ (@FearlessFPS) reported

    @GranzTV If Overwatch keeps not working will you keep doing this? 😳

  • MagneticClown MagneticClown (@MagneticClown) reported

    The best game mode in Overwatch 2 is the LC-208 error that pops up when I try and boot the game up.

  • skurupii sher. (@skurupii) reported

    can overwatch fix the whole legacy coin vs overwatch coin purchase?? it makes absolutely no sense to me that the highlighted one isn’t the one you’re spending :/

  • izowizo sexting on LinkedIn (@izowizo) reported

    Played through a few games of Overwatch 2 and the same problems are still there: A 🧵

  • poppyosu wanko super fan girl (@poppyosu) reported

  • 7R0bin7 Bees? (@7R0bin7) reported

    @BlizzardCS I connected my xbox to my battlenet account and it took me off my Overwatch account onto a new one and now I cant go back to my old account which I’ve had since around 2017, all of my skins, levels, etc are gone now. How can I fix this?

  • scorpuloid scaling a large wall while high on ectoplasm fumes (@scorpuloid) reported

  • Nepharyel Nepharyel - Future Kiriko Main (@Nepharyel) reported

    @Gendulf_Teh_Wht @BoladoHB @EskayOW i mean this problem was already in overwatch 1 that i had sometimes gold in heal as roadhoag where u exactly know what a healer like moira is doing then :D

  • Pharaoh_tv Paul - Twitch UrbanPharaoh (@Pharaoh_tv) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent Hey Guys, Everytime I get an achievement on Overwatch 2 I get a "Disconnected From Server Because your profile was signed out" Error. This needs to be fixed as I am have gotten disconected 3 times in a row.
