    @GaijinGoombah Overwatch IS good. The problem is ungrateful gamers who complain about the monetization even though the game is free to play, as in YOU CAN PLAY THE GAME AND NOT SPEND A SINGLE DIME. And the toxicity only hurts if you're a snowflake

  • MRIXRT mrixrt (scary version) (@MRIXRT) reported

    I've spent some time playing Overwatch 2, and the 5v5 change actively ruins the entire flow, but I have an actionable suggestion that fixes most of it Switch to 2 tanks 1 support Buff support escape and health Literally nothing else This fixes so many issues it's wild

  • Geralt04572064 Caranthir (@Geralt04572064) reported

    @necros_ow They’re concluding that not seeing a lot of Sojourn at low ranks is a worse problem then Sojourn being in every match at high ranks, including in the Overwatch League. That’s what happens when you build a hero with a high skill ceiling. But they don’t want to admit that

  • Poolydoon 💖🏳️‍🌈 Pollydon 🏳️‍🌈💖 (@Poolydoon) reported

    almost every problem people have in overwatch can be fixed by SWAPPING TO A DIFFERENT HERO

  • notrxsx Rose ࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ (@notrxsx) reported

    Overwatch has taken over my entire life again, not even my sh problem has this kind of relapses bro

  • NiklasManolo NiklasManolo (@NiklasManolo) reported

    @WeThePeople1_TV I’m sorry to hear this, because it’s your job and therefore apex more then a game for you. Maybe you streamers can stand together, so the devs work on some of the issues in the game. One example is the promise of cross-progression since Season 13. Try out Overwatch! It’s fun ;)

  • Catmagic_1976 Catmagic (@Catmagic_1976) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch 2 feels way to much like a grind,it is not rewarding enough to play and progression on the battlepas takes WAAYYYY to long! Fix your game so it is fun to play @Blizzard_Ent

  • Jeffro_1615 Jeffrey Feely ||-// (@Jeffro_1615) reported

    Overwatch rule #1: Enjoy characters while they're broken

  • magnificaty cat (@magnificaty) reported

    ****** BLIZZARD PLS FIX OVERWATCH ****** SERVER OMG I ALWAYS DCED BECAUSE YOUR ****** SERVER IS SO ****** BAD MY INTERNET IS GOOD HAD NO PROBLEM BUT I SUDDENLY JUST DCED??????? AND I GOT PUNISHMENT FOR THAT????? **** U

  • Treacherous_God The Toaster (@Treacherous_God) reported

    @NewfNukem Fall guys is a no go because it requires you to login your epic games account and it won't let me do that on switch for some reason. Overwatch 2 runs pretty bad on switch although I haven't checked since they launched it. Rogue company is good fun though. I might add that for CGN

  • PsychoticStud 𝙋𝙨𝙮𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝘽*𝙩𝙘𝙝 ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ♡ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ (@PsychoticStud) reported

    I'm in such a toxic ******* mood right now **** overwatch The lag is unbearable and unplayable **** this **** everything

  • BadLvckCharmUK BadLvckCharm KG (@BadLvckCharmUK) reported

    @TahaUwU The problem I have with Overwatch 2 is that without lootboxes I have nothing to really work for in that game so idk if I'll be bothered to do ranked

  • Kielatte Kie (@Kielatte) reported

    @ItsRoverZ at the moment probably just run some games on overwatch unless cod fixes all these crashes and dev errors.

  • Orcasual Orcasual (@Orcasual) reported

    @Leland7111 @OMGitsPriesT You know that the devs are not the problem the problem is that siege is running on a old *** engine where you can barley put in new standarts in the Features which would be fixed with siege 2. Same thing maybe even better Siege 2 would work then Overwatch 2

  • John_FN_Seiler Seiler (@John_FN_Seiler) reported

    Anybody else ever have trouble claiming twitch drops through overwatch?

  • vanishbeats vanish (@vanishbeats) reported

  • jormungandralt JormungandrAlter (@jormungandralt) reported

    I want to stream Overwatch 2 so badly but there’s a bug that after a 2hours (at least that’s how long I noticed it for me) it spikes my cpu temperature at 97+ degrees making my pc blue screen 😭😭😭 fix your game @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent

  • BigNuttySupreme BigSpookySupreme. (@BigNuttySupreme) reported

    @MavisDeLuna Easy fix if it just gives it back to you if it cancels or you die while using it, paladins has had that **** since launch don't see why it's not in overwatch

  • stormisjesus 🌩 Stormandreas 🌩 (@stormisjesus) reported

    What Overwatch should do with Bastions ult, is give it Infinite ammo, however, give a chunky delay between shots, so you're still limited in shots technically due to time, but it gives a little bit more margin for error and makes the ult feel less of a throwaway

  • ttvkayl3rs kaylers (@ttvkayl3rs) reported

    got 7 wins for support with my gold/plat friends and i went from silver 3 to bronze 3 ???? hello ???? overwatch needs to fix the ranking system what is this

  • Exp0hero Exp0Hero (@Exp0hero) reported

    Can you wonderful artistic peeps fix the sorry state of overwatch while you are at it?

  • CelesticRose CelesticRose (@CelesticRose) reported

    I feel like the big issue with overwatch rn is the amount of insta kill options. Supports cant do **** about people getting 1 shot killed and it makes them feel less fun

  • ReemusMD ReemusMD (@ReemusMD) reported

    @sa1ntcoaching Tf2 payload with abilities is a shakey competitive game to begin with, OW2 is a DLC to overwatch. Wrecking ball is BROKEN from my homies who play OW2

  • TonyArt95 TonyArt (@TonyArt95) reported

    @Alejandroid1979 @astaranx the problem is not crossplay as long as it is only console crossplay as an example in overwatch 2 you can set crossplay to a consolepool only thus no PC gamers can be in the match id that would be an option in MW2 it wouldn't be a problem also sony blocked the option on others PF

  • SnailOnTwitch Snail (@SnailOnTwitch) reported

    @Poolydoon you can fix that problem forever by not playing overwatch :3

  • cloudsofglory1 cloudsofglory (@cloudsofglory1) reported

    @NemyPred @antimides @OverwatchNaeri The issue is that she’s too strong. She has zero weaknesses, and that type of hero design doesn’t fit Overwatch’s philosophy of “pick your speciality and tradeoffs” that it used to use for hero design.

    Shoutout to my dad for having a work phone and regular cell phone to help me authenticate my login so now I can play Overwatch with all the homies!!!!!

    Notes: -Gameplay is great -Everything else around it is bad -60 Coins weekly -Concerns about future updates -Hopes for Season 2 -Talking and rambling about TF2 to compare it with Overwatch 2, because I feel like it has the same problem of a certain hollowed feel about the game
