  • MrBhaha MrBhaha (@MrBhaha) reported

    Hey, @BlizzardCS, the characters on my overwatch account have been locked for about 2-3 weeks now with no way to unlock them. Is any fix coming soon?

  • DurandiTM Durandi (@DurandiTM) reported

    overwatch in an unplayable state again? ✅ doing nothing to fix the major issues again? ✅ what other games are there to play bros?

  • Karmattacker Dana (@Karmattacker) reported

    @SpitefulPumpkin Overwatch seems to have an issue of there being breadcrumbs of good ideas but instead of actually making good on it they just let fans fill in blanks that aren't there so they don't have to do it themselves.

  • by_kriti Kriti (@by_kriti) reported

    The hate some people have for fat people existing is ******* crazy. This guy on TikTok cosplayed as a character from overwatch that happens to be fat as well and people STILL had an issue with it and we’re being fatphobic. It was mostly men too.

  • Westbrook____ Westbrook (@Westbrook____) reported

    @NyanSox Almost like there was zero issues with overwatch lootboxes. You got them constantly with each level up, and 3 weekly from arcade.

  • pinkdevilhero Nic ♡ (@pinkdevilhero) reported

    They should invent an overwatch server that doesn’t disconnect me every 5 seconds

  • MrCoderz Coderz (@MrCoderz) reported

    Feel like overwatch 2 ranked is broken. No matter how many times I place in dps it's bronze 5 after so many wins and sometimes running through the enemy team like it was nothing. @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS have you looked into any possible issues or am I delusional?

  • Poohvakin Crazy 🏳️‍🌈 Bozo (@Poohvakin) reported

    Man these kids complaining about roadhog being broken on overwatch are actually dumb as hell Like bro come on, he's a tank of course you're not killing him with 1 mag dump, its simply a skill issue on your end

  • ImperialRemedy Remedy (@ImperialRemedy) reported

    Overwatch comp placements are broken…

  • IanTRobertson_ Ian Thomas Robertson (@IanTRobertson_) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Fix my stats overwatch

  • Veilynne Veilynne (@Veilynne) reported

    Overwatch League proving Zarya isn't broken, you're just **** at Winston.

  • Agediho Oh no - Goat Milk (@Agediho) reported

    Hating wrecking ball in overwatch 2 is a skill issue

  • SC21012022 S C (@SC21012022) reported

    @LifeatBlizzard @InnerslothDevs Every voice matters - looks at the overwatch team - yeah good joke, games a toxic pit of **** atm, fix it, people aren’t happy. So much for your defence matrix bullshit, same toxic bullies go on not punished yet you seem to keep saying - the game is improved. Hardly.

  • ethunderx Cyberstarnova (@ethunderx) reported

    @XcloudTimdog With only COD Mobile and Candy Crush right. I don't think so as ActivisionBlizzard main outputs are Console and PC games like Spyro, Crash, WOW, Overwatch, Tony Hawk games, Guitar Hero, Star Craft, Hearthstone,Diablo, Skylanders, and Prototype. So no it's not about mobile games.

  • Srnunez1023 Srnunez (@Srnunez1023) reported

    @goodHunterBL @BenjiSales But also keep in mind ABK has turned almost into a COD factory and the only other games they make are huge franchises like Diablo and Overwatch etc, there’s the possibility that in a few years we won’t even get Crash or Spyron.

  • NHegwood25 Nate 🎮 (@NHegwood25) reported

    Yo @PlayOverwatch can you fix your ******* ranking system? I'm literally Bronze 5 and I'm getting paired with people who are also "bronze 5" but should be a ******* minimum of Gold 3-4. The player experience is in shambles. #Overwatch2 #Overwatch #Overwatchrp

  • marvotron NOT_MDK (@marvotron) reported

    overwatch matchmaking is so broken its actually quite funny

  • bashvsthawrld bash (@bashvsthawrld) reported

    i don’t know how much more solo queueing into comp on overwatch i can do before something gets broken

  • TTAYW3210 Young Akumu ヤクムシ (@TTAYW3210) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent still has overwatch frame drops, makes me lag out games. Why even play Competitive. Poorly made on New gen Consoles

  • Srnunez1023 Srnunez (@Srnunez1023) reported

    @fabregaspastore @goodHunterBL @BenjiSales This is something I forget sometimes, ABK is almost a COD, Diablo, Overwatch and other big games factory, no guarantee that games like Crash or Spyro will even be made in a few years, that’s something I hope MS changes if it goes through.

  • denniswolf8 dennis wolf (@denniswolf8) reported

    @Crowdottexe @NyanSox It still is gambling as you have 0 influence in what your reward is. Yes overwatch loot boxes are the most fair in the industry and I don't have a problem with them (if you can't buy them real money).

  • Imnnse Aventus Imnse (@Imnnse) reported

    how do I fix my overwatch not opening

  • cancersacc cancersacc (@cancersacc) reported

    Okay so overwatch lets just revert zarya to old overwatch patch one zarya where she wasnt too op but tolerable BUT NOWADAYS THIS ***** HAS 2 shields that come off cd ever 0.5 seconds essentially just being invulnerable, @PlayOverwatch please ******* fix

  • xLeBumbleBee ♡Bumble♡ (@xLeBumbleBee) reported

    When you wanna do the #overwatch pick em and can't because every time you load the website you get a 505 Error

  • ManslaughterX Hugh Jaynus (@ManslaughterX) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I'm lost on how to get help for the issue I have. When I try to open a support ticket, it seemingly requires me to input my PC information even though I have never played Overwatch on PC, and my issue being on PS4.

  • Pxckednath 🇵🇸 (@Pxckednath) reported

    Overwatch need to fix their ranking system theres no way i’ve placed bronze 5 four times in a row..

  • rollplaya90 Maxwell Ascension (@rollplaya90) reported

    Did the server boot anyone out of an already going match and put them into a new one saying "unexpected error server closed" in overwatch 2?
