  • ItsCacTusJ4cK_ *** Revenant main (@ItsCacTusJ4cK_) reported from Brentford, England

    Ngl man, think I'm done with Apex 😢😢😢 Overwatch has that hold on me and with all these issues and how bad the game has been, it's unforgivable. I guess we'll see how next season goes but if I ain't feeling it then I'm done.

  • John63540618 John (@John63540618) reported

    @PlayOverwatch dear overwatch, first off please fix your game. I love getting put in a game with trash teammates, throwers and noobs. That was sarcasm if you hadn't noticed. Also I used to enjoy mystery heroes because it would give me a chance to learn new characters.

  • Wr3kAg3 Wr3kAg3 (@Wr3kAg3) reported

    I'm so sorry Destiny is having some sort of issue now. It has kicked me out a lot. I'm about 10-15 minutes out of downloading Overwatch 2.. it'll be my first time playing the title EVER. Come hang out.. Again, I'm so sorry the first stream died. #KOOPATROOP

  • manic_taz ManicTaz (@manic_taz) reported

    my fathers account was not mine. I spent my own money on an Xbox live membership before creating my battle net account for this issue to not arise. now I am paying for an Xbox live subscription I only planned to use for this. I am utterly disappointed fix your website. #OVERwatch

  • deliriumattic kayo 🎧 (@deliriumattic) reported

    every time i play overwatch for an extended period of time i can physically feel my brain lagging

  • WeavingStone Taliyah, the Wandering Sparrow 🏳️‍⚧️ (@WeavingStone) reported

    🪨. May be corny as **** but I reckon I can transplant Taliyah's story into Overwatch universe with minimal issue. If I had to give her a tacticool name I could just call her callsign Weaver. ****, I guess I need to get to typing then huh.

  • EasttTheEgg Finn🥚 (@EasttTheEgg) reported

    I hate how modern AAA games have the standard of praying for a patch or a update to fix a issue instead of the game actually being fun and enjoyable on day one. Gotham Knights and Overwatch 2 is looks to be another example of this **** and I hate it.

  • ShanyuFox The Potato Fox™ (@ShanyuFox) reported

    I'm still in a good mood after work....I think I'll play some overwatch after my shower to fix that x3

  • jprotoman DVA (@jprotoman) reported

    Overwatch 2 comp ranking is wild lol just as broken as the first game but they stuck you in even lower ranks even if you win lol

  • smalletss13 Sam Smallets (@smalletss13) reported

    @BlizzardCS I was just wondering if there was going to be a fix for my overwatch stats not being right bc it says I only have 390 hours when Ik I have well over 600 hours from overwatch one

  • MagicJaylen Jay (@MagicJaylen) reported

  • SplatNight2 Jaziel/サーモンサムライ (@SplatNight2) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @CrowsMonarch Hello dear blizzard team, I take the trouble to write you this message as I am an overwatch player since its release, I have always enjoyed playing your game with the same 4 friends, in fact we continue to play since the new release of overwatch 2 but I made the mistake of (1/2)

    Gonna be streaming overwatch 2 at 2pm aest (See what I did there :P ) Wasn't sure at first due to personal issues but I should be okay See you there my dudes

  • DelilahBoopity 🧛🏻‍♀️Cunt Dracula🧛🏻‍♀️ (@DelilahBoopity) reported

    To give you an idea of how broken Overwatch competitive is (for healers at least): I regularly out heal every other healer in the match and I'm still in the lowest rank. I healed 20K one game. As Moira. It's ridiculous, and it makes comp unrewarding.

  • MASKDxBUBBA elijah Champagne (@MASKDxBUBBA) reported

    @OverwatchEU This is cool and all but I would enjoy it more if I had my skins, blizzard I have had overwatch for like two to three years now and I spent a lot of money on your game and all of that is gone, please respond and help me know your trying to fix this

  • Leguwulas Leggy (@Leguwulas) reported

    just wanna play overwatch but everytime im in game now i eventually crash or bsod

  • roninsdead Ronin (@roninsdead) reported

    The games been out for 3 weeks and Zarya and Sombra are still broken. How hard is it to change a couple numbers? Overwatch is getting stale cause every game has the same 3 characters.

  • chicken_errday Gravy #kobeforlife (@chicken_errday) reported from Toronto, Ontario

    Trying to start overwatch 2 right now and I’ve spent an hour tryna **** with battlenet cause it’s been giving me so many issues. Legit wasted an hour and haven’t even played the game. Annoying. I’m making a drink

  • TheDofflin_ TheDofflin (@TheDofflin_) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ People should be saying gg and moving on to the next game, the problem with Overwatch 1 is people got super mad and toxic about these losses when they should just ******* chill and queue again. If the new system helps reduce that toxicity even a little bit I'm 100% for it.

  • Two_Two_Twane The Diddler (@Two_Two_Twane) reported

    WHY TF ARE THE OVERWATCH LEAGUE TOKENS NOT WORKING!!!??? i have had the entire streams on since ow2 came out, but i have only gotten 10 tokens???

  • Arcades_Are_Fun rice (@Arcades_Are_Fun) reported

    Some games are doomed from the start like Overwatch, Valorant, or League where you're forced into a role, then forced into a character. People will still play these games sadly, and you'll hear the repeated "ranked is broken" from pros and casuals alike.

  • AtlasAgana Atlas (@AtlasAgana) reported

    First day playing Overwatch 2: **** tanks Damage scaling is broken ngl Good game, but the tanks are literal trash I like healers a lot, nice to see they have some defensive abilities too Tanks can die in a hole “DPS” hero’s are pretty balanced imo, except Genji. **** you.
