  • yabuoy1 yabuoy (@yabuoy1) reported

    @BackStabBud I honestly perfer them balancing around everyone instead of the way overwatch 1 did it. Characters like moria and junkrat were a huge problem in gold and Plat (where most players are) but weren't nerfed bc of how little play they saw in master and above

  • Nick333444 Pirey (@Nick333444) reported

    I've never SEEN a worse ******* MATCHMAKING THAN IN OVERWATCH THIS IS UNREAL IM GETTING QUEUED WITH ******* BRONZE HEALERS WHO SHOOT IN THE ******* WRONG DIRECTION THEY'RE PLAYING WITH THEIR ******* FEET OR SMTH HOLY **** THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE @PlayOverwatch PLEASE FIX YOUR GAME

  • SupaGoGoMan SlippyGoGoMan (@SupaGoGoMan) reported

    Has it been confirmed if ranked mode in Gundam Overwatch is straight up broken or whatever because I've yet to play a match. I don't care much for competitive play really but every time I've tried it's never worked.

  • punditky Ky (@punditky) reported

    overwatch has possibly turnt into one of the shittiest games. fix the match making, start showing levels again, and bring back loot boxes im not spending $40 on a skin and emote

  • MusksHugeCock Elon_Musks_Huge_Cawk (@MusksHugeCock) reported

    why is a 1080ti, at minimial settings closing #overwatch2 every game. No issue on anything else. updated gpu drivers, it doesnt run above 65c. I dont understand how only Overwatch closes. What a ******* piece of ****

  • Xecxciic The Hammer (@Xecxciic) reported

    @_Dogscraps I seem to remember Overwatch loot-boxes triggering a huge anti-gambling wave, so I think it's fair to say most people had an issue with them.

  • CrusadeLunar Lunar_crusade (@CrusadeLunar) reported

    For those that play overwatch that demand healing but doesn't support that healers when they're being targeted by opposite teams superior strategic mind you're part of the problem not the solution and if you die due to wondering out of range it's your own fault not theirs

  • Chris_Groce Chris (@Chris_Groce) reported

    @PlayOverwatch just had a match where it was 15-20 lag on my PlayStation5. Lag doesn’t happen on my Xbox, Switch, or PC. What is up with the ****** support for PlayStation? Also for example the Xbox version of the Original Overwatch got a Graphic update while PlayStation5 didn’t

  • IridiumBun Iridium Rabbit ~☆ 🐇🏳️‍⚧️ 🔞 (@IridiumBun) reported

    Bastion is still incredibly annoying to play against. He's still so broken... combine him with Torb and it's just.... ugh. Overwatch was so much more fun when Bastion wasn't in the roster... #Overwatch2

  • ColourBlindVis Colour Blind Vision_ (@ColourBlindVis) reported

    @Skinny_Obelix @AGroenne @quill18 A few days ago, I spoke with someone about Overwatch and how they had problems with Lucio's yellow and green. What confuses situations more is the instruction guides saying, "Look out for green...." But you either don't see it or have the mode on and only see blue, as you said.

  • FinDepeQ Markus Jolkkonen (@FinDepeQ) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN In Overwatch 2 I lost my Golden Weapon for Junker Queen, I had saved my points from Overwatch 1 and when Overwatch 2 launched i instantly bought Junker Queen's Golden Weapons. Is this bug caused by the newest halloween update? Is there any way to fix this?

  • A_Gray_Phantom A_Gray_Phantom (@A_Gray_Phantom) reported

    @thtoneOnryoMain You're not alone. Overwatch has a lore problem. Stories are inconsistent or just missing.

  • Taloneon Taloneon (@Taloneon) reported

    Overwatch literally needs to fix their battlepass and I would like the game even more but right now, its legitimately as the surface level of tolerance

  • buffalo_bangs Buffalo Bangs (@buffalo_bangs) reported

    @HaloSupport Doesnt crash apex or overwatch. Not switching to an outdated driver because your game is dogshit. *******

  • k_llm3 emmie ✩ (@k_llm3) reported

  • theyhatesober sober (@theyhatesober) reported

  • fayyzle Fayzle (@fayyzle) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent fix overwatch please ffs i just got disconnected for no reason while i had internet access talking with my teammates in discord call. got an hour ban for this bullshit and will prob get a season ban next if it happens agian

  • VioletGriff2 VioletGriff (@VioletGriff2) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Idea to fix the overwatch store. Keep the game free to play but add back the loot box system ,however if you are someone who installed the game for free (who didn’t buy overwatch one) then you will have the option of spending a price equal to the cost of overwatch1

  • CLOUDNAUGE Cloud (@CLOUDNAUGE) reported

    If the overwatch servers kick you out for “network issues” then give you a suspension when its not your fault is a bunch of bs. Just tryna play the game bruh. Please stopping kicking me out of my comp matches man.

  • Not_Eternatus Eternaltus (@Not_Eternatus) reported

    Overwatch 2 is really fun Only problem I have other than the prices Is that there are weekly challenges to win games in open queue In open queue There a 5 minutes wait for tank and dps And 1 minute wait for support So if you do open queue your always support

  • OctolingYellow Nucula Wolf (18+) read bio (@OctolingYellow) reported

    @Albinorhino_467 ya i agree all things aside from the broken characters, and other things i liked it better when i could play arcade and quick play games to get loot boxes and get skins rather than having to pay for it, free skins and loot boxes was the center of why i liked overwatch & etc.

  • Ultra_Three5 Ultra (@Ultra_Three5) reported

    Away from home so I can’t get my Overwatch Fix Guess I’m downloading T3

  • fustrauted Call me Frank (@fustrauted) reported

    Overwatch 2 lagging on EU servers @BlizzardCS. What's going on? It's unplayable this weekend.

  • MikeYoong48 mikeyoong (@MikeYoong48) reported

    Happened to Overwatch 2 too actually (the first 10 or so hours didn’t track at all until about a week in) and many other titles that actually has accurate in game trackers. Been happening on and off since the consoles launch now, fix your ****! @PlayStation

  • r00d1m3n7 r00d1m3n7 #1363 (@r00d1m3n7) reported

    GAMING journos writing like we haven't played Overwatch for 4 damn years. "Players Hate Mei's Broken Ice Wall!" "Nobody Likes You DPS Moira" "Blizzard Needs To Do Something About Turrets" It's kinda funny.

  • DevilNergigante Nergigante 🇪🇺 (@DevilNergigante) reported

    @blametruthyt There’s a fix inbound for this? TBF, it’s becoming what like Overwatch 2 is when it first comes out nearly a month ago

  • migshimself ّ (@migshimself) reported

    are overwatch servers broken rn!??!?! IT KEEPS ON ******* KICKING ME OUTTTTTT

  • ElizasThighs WHERE IS PLANET FITNESS (@ElizasThighs) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Day 10 of asking for Gyro/Motion Controls on PlayStation controllers for Overwatch (fix item shop prices too)

  • Scraton_Music SCRATON 🔳 One & Only (@Scraton_Music) reported

    @GreyDnB @Blizzard_Ent Problem is rather in the fact they didn't give people choice to go back to original Overwatch and as i stated in my previous posts, the gameplay is still as fun as it used to be, therefore i play. I mostly warn people not to support this cause i certainly ain't either.

  • Flqmey Flqmey (@Flqmey) reported

    @BlizzardCS i got banned off comp overwatch because of a glitch on xbox which kicked me off a match everytime i got an achievement in the game. it’s unfair i got banned of competitive for a glitch in the game that kicked me out and me not leaving. please fix
