  • bunnimoniOW twitch.tv/bunnimoni (@bunnimoniOW) reported

    Things I want from Overwatch 2: More frequent patches (not to add extremely different things for the sake of it, but to fix things that are in need of changing) The stats to be fixed Comp system gets some sort of rework (I like the 7-20 system, but there’s something missing)

  • Mildudon Søren Lauridsen (@Mildudon) reported

    @SYACVG Fix the game by rolling everything back to how overwatch 1 was. Overwatch is such bad and boring game compaired to 1.

  • Swissicurus ᶜˡⁱᵖᵖᵉᵈ ᵂⁱⁿᵍˢ (@Swissicurus) reported

    @TheBunnyIsGamin “Mine came from before Overwatch but... it just feels uncomfortable when it’s covered... I feel it more and it causes... issues... also yes it produces some heat so I dislike how warm it gets...”

  • LiraelSayre Lirael (@LiraelSayre) reported

    Just realised my overwatch console account was overwritten and now I have nothing. Thanks for making everything super ******* unclear @Blizzard_Ent on login, I now have years worth of **** gone because you AUTO MERGED MY ACCOUNTS WITHOUT ME PICKING.

  • Bman_112233 Bman (@Bman_112233) reported

    As a tank main dps are literally the biggest issue of overwatch They are stubborn to swap and have egos so can't see when they are throwing

  • Ashtarte3DX Ashtarte (@Ashtarte3DX) reported

    @DaSentientDitto @DDamage3D I think that is more of a function that Riot's report system isn't fully automated like Overwatch. Additionally all they can try to do is said you fed (which forces game analysis) or lie about your conduct which is more likely to get THEM in trouble for false reports.

  • QualityAnchor Brandon (@QualityAnchor) reported

    Trying to rank up as support in Overwatch 2 is like dragging my ***** through broken glass.

  • sUpReMe_QuEen_ Glenda Garcia (@sUpReMe_QuEen_) reported

    @CallofDuty Can you please tell me why my entire campaign progress disappeared??????? It’s kinda frustrating. Issue after issue. At this point I rather play ****** Overwatch.

  • TobyMongoose Toby Mongoose (@TobyMongoose) reported

    Issues with WiFi and personal issues have caused there to be no time to record Minecraft or Overwatch 2 Content so there will be none for this week and most likely next week. My apologies

  • Ashtarte3DX Ashtarte (@Ashtarte3DX) reported

    @DDamage3D @DaSentientDitto Well the bigger issue is Overwatch's reporting system is mostly automated and Blizzard used to try and brag about that. Just because you can change character during match doesn't mean players should be allowed to bully other players into doing it. Or that reports should work.

  • ADuckWithSocks Alec (@ADuckWithSocks) reported

    @duckie_ll Honestly think that’s a bug bro. I’ve been having issues with stuttering and lagging but i have gig down and 250 up. No other game gives me issues, I even played overwatch 2 just fine downloading warzone (as a test)

  • Eyumii Eyumi || tears of the kingdom (@Eyumii) reported

    Im gonna ignore my problems for a bit and hop on into overwatch

  • ThePersonCarlos 🍂🦃Casserole🦃🍂 (@ThePersonCarlos) reported

    You know what? I'm gonna take it back to 2016 and play some overwatch on my own like I used to. Mostly because I want to fix some bad habits of mine and practice

  • Razor_Spark Razør (@Razor_Spark) reported

    When is Overwatch gonna fix the bug on console where it doesn't display play time properly. I lost over 400 Lucio hours in the merge and even though I have played 70 games on tank, it says I have 11 minutes on Rein and Dva.

  • SolRadiant7 芸武 (@SolRadiant7) reported

    I have to be honest. I really don’t have a problem with push, and I never had a problem with 2CP in Overwatch. I just be having my fun; it was all fun to me 😭

  • cherry_cro_ Cherry.Cro (@cherry_cro_) reported

    Overwatch has such a big problem with people leaving as soon as they think theyre going to lose a game. We need to bring penalties back

  • phut_phut_sefka CarolineJS 💙🇪🇺🎬🎶🤟☠️💙 (@phut_phut_sefka) reported

    I'm having Overwatch 2 issues. Players are literally falling through the floor, disappearing and rubber banding like crazy. I thought this was supposed to be fixed?? 😩 #Overwatch2 @OverwatchEU @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCSEU_EN

  • _FallenTitan_ Tommie (@_FallenTitan_) reported

    @Mvximo3_ @Xeratricky @ImperialHal Don't think the comp scene is the issue, it's mainly the issues in the game that they can't fix due to the engine or coding they use. If you look at overwatch, they made a new game to fix the issues and get a boost in players from the "re branding" of a "new game"

  • DonToro__ ¡Cpt.Cozy! #PackTheory #HotBoi (@DonToro__) reported

    Overwatch 2 ranking system is so broken lmaooo ain’t no way.

  • nopalasli Nopl (@nopalasli) reported

  • Devin30842455 rasislettuce (@Devin30842455) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix your ******* game this is a sham of what it used to be and the watered down and pissed on version of overwatch 1 I dont even know how you could call this a game like honestly what went through your sick and twisted minds thinking it was okay to change it

  • cutec3ce Cecilia💫💖 (@cutec3ce) reported

  • ChanceB15062428 Chance Bailey (@ChanceB15062428) reported

    @BlizzardCS Fix your servers, still dcing for no reason. No other game losses connection every 10 minutes. Overwatch 2 has drove blizzard in the ground

  • AlanCynoh 🔞💖Cynoh💖🔞 (@AlanCynoh) reported

    @alphaINTEL Overwatch did it so easily being a company with lots of trouble, why does Respawn/EA can’t?
