  • Anthonydtapia93 🎃I Love Sofie♥️👻 (@Anthonydtapia93) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch @XboxSupport I hope it's a "Me" problem. Today's been a weird streaming day. Dang, I just wanted to play some Overwatch. I dropped on fall guys too. I guess it's not your servers. Rough day today.

  • Last3499 Last349 (@Last3499) reported

    @PlayOverwatch You guys need to fix the battle pass I got the watchpoint back before Overwatch 2 came out and I don't have any of the rewards of the Premium Battle Pass.

  • LeoWhitmore1 Leo Whitmore (@LeoWhitmore1) reported

    @BlizzardCS Ive gotten an lc208 error code every other day since I started playing. Every time I get it I can’t play Overwatch or login until I completely reinstall the entire game. Why is this still a problem?

  • ThiefKingIX IX (@ThiefKingIX) reported

    @Kotaku Overwatch continues to make unnecessary problems for itself. Imagine blowing up queue times because people don't play support in an FPS.

  • Airistwt Airi (@Airistwt) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ I would have less issue with no aim assist if there was an actual deadzone slider for controllers. You just can’t make fine adjustments in overwatch with how the deadzone is set

  • ggmcarpenter GKage (@ggmcarpenter) reported

    The new Overwatch competitive system is just objectively worse than the last one. Ignoring that it's literally broken, I've been playing for 3 days and haven't placed at all, needing 7 wins or 20 losses to even be placed it absurd. You then have to do this 2 other times.

  • biggdogg3223 Sergey (@biggdogg3223) reported

    achievement and crash out of the game (my wife and other people on twitter have the same problem) how so Blizzard??? why do you have so many bugs from the transition from the first Overwatch to the second???

  • NaParamore LIVE EVERYDAY OVERWATCH 2 CLIMBING RANKS?! (@NaParamore) reported

    I... Im Sorry I Just had to get off. The amount of puddle Water Drinkers in Overwatch Ranked is insane. I Call Overwatch being dead in a couple weeks If they don't fix it in some regard. Thanks For Vibes Though! : )

  • SilverMania2 R-DXB991 (@SilverMania2) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Go fix overwatch 2

  • Kemmo_Ado ✨Kemmo✨ (@Kemmo_Ado) reported

    @N_0mi @OWAnonymous_ No I meant problem of being an overwatch fan in the splatoon community

  • TamerGlaziar Glaziar (@TamerGlaziar) reported

    @JJ_JaphetPlane While that is true. What’s the reasoning for Overwatch 1 having the same issue or League having the same issue? It’s the most undesirable role because no hexakills. Even tho I love support I get it.

  • gulpinballs *** gobbler (@gulpinballs) reported

    @BlizzardCS I am now banned from competitive in Overwatch 2 for 20 hours. This is due to a problem on your servers’ issues, nothing having to do with my wifi connection ‘nor console I am using. My boyfriend whom lives with me has never had this occur to him. This is not the 1st, 2nd, 3rd

  • basement_chan sayaka (@basement_chan) reported

    went thru the trouble of bringing my keyboard here only to learn that overwatch doesn’t let u use kb/m on ps4

  • stxnkss stanks (@stxnkss) reported

    how do I fix overwatch crashing every game, I literally can’t finish 1 game

  • Linktm Dracula Spelled Backwards (@Linktm) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ It's unfortunate that they considered the first week of Overwatch where people could barely play without issues to be part of the "1 week everyone got to practice/earn kiriko"

  • Ghosty_jpeg Insomniac Ghosty! (@Ghosty_jpeg) reported

    update i got overwatch to work but now valorant is messing up- but stardew valley is my perfect angel, i had no problems downloading her

  • insomniainsect Quinn (@insomniainsect) reported

    @Respawn @PlayApex Fix your footstep sound design you dumb *****. Even the Overwatch 2 devs have more brain cells than you.

  • dj_electric Dj electric (@dj_electric) reported

    @BlizzardCS @BlizzardCSEU_EN There's a concerning issue with Overwatch League connected accounts and browsers having heavy memory leaks (Both Firefox and Chromium based). This is quite severe in scope.

  • TheGoliath176 Kevin D (@TheGoliath176) reported

    @aaronkellerOW @BlizzardCS all I want to do is play overwatch 2 (huh, that rhymed). However I log in and get the “LC-208” error, same one I have got for the past 2 weeks. All support says is “sorry we are working on it.” Can we get an update?

  • magdiel734 Magdiel (@magdiel734) reported

    @BlizzardCS Fix Overwatch already, I'm tired of getting suspended and it not be my fault, its your stupid servers. I got kicked out of a competitive match randomly and now I have an hour wait...

  • maurist10 maurist10 (@maurist10) reported

    @BlizzardCS Maybe stop posting this cringe and fix your matchmaking in your completely new game Overwatch 2. It sucks ***. The ranked mode is just a piece of ****. I am constantly getting bad teammates. How am I supposed to reach my skill level???? Do you not bother???

  • RyanLuz PadreNotPadre (@RyanLuz) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch 2 keeps causing my PS5 to crash completely and reboot. Was happening in the beta as well and I don’t believe it’s an overheating issue and it is only happening with OW2. I’ve been disconnected from multiple comp matches and it’s brutal. Help.

  • asbestosmemer Asbestos (@asbestosmemer) reported
