    @PlayOverwatch @PlayOverwatch I noticed an issue when trying to obtain all the items I had from Overwatch one ?? Will all my player profile icons, skins show up? What’s strange is that I have all my skins for my fighters it’s just they are all still locked didn’t you guys say og have them all.

  • SilverSprings30 👻 Spooky Toko Silver 🎃 (@SilverSprings30) reported

    I am enjoying Overwatch 2 But here's some problems besides the obvious Queue Connections etc -Battle Pass Needs to have the character like Level 5 or make available for free because grinding to Tier 55 is long -Tier leveling up Tier leveling up is slow why does it take long

  • Hagg3r Michael (@Hagg3r) reported

    these broken overwatch 2 quickplay ques are yikes

  • CatacomBees 🐝 Bees 🍯 COMMS OPEN🍯 (@CatacomBees) reported

    I know it’s a glitch but I absolutely refuse to play overwatch if it keeps locking heroes for me. I’ve been playing since literal day one. This is absurd.

  • AGurewitch Aeon P. Gurewitch (@AGurewitch) reported

    @BlizzardCS My friend and I have been in queue for an untrained match for 40 minutes and we haven’t been able to join a match yet. I don’t know why it’s taking this long, but if it’s also happeneing to others, someone please fix this, we love Overwatch 2.

  • umirene g. 🎃 (@umirene) reported

    Hiii I've been playing overwatch competitive and I got placed in Bronze 5 and I won 7 games but it did not move me up to Bronze 4, it stayed the same as Bronze 5 I was wondering if this was an error 🙏🏻 @BlizzardCS

  • CameronHanley7 Cameron (@CameronHanley7) reported

  • TheTrue4th Malenia (@TheTrue4th) reported

    @Critespanberry idk i can’t play my main anymore now. just when i thought overwatch 2 was finally getting better with their server issues and etc this happens

  • EyesOfMilkyWay Milky ☄️ (@EyesOfMilkyWay) reported

    @BlizzardCS most of the characters are locked whenever i try to check my heroes in overwatch 2 and yes i have overwatch 1, i'm not a new player i have no issues with this earlier. please fix this immediately

  • zero_3217 エマヌエーレ (@zero_3217) reported

    @PlayOverwatch why are my characters missing? is there a problem again? i bought overwatch 1 but almost all my characters are missing since today, why.

  • RealEriChaosYT EriChaos (@RealEriChaosYT) reported

    Here's hoping the next update @PlayOverwatch is releasing within the hour fixes the Overwatch Coins issue. I, like may others, have bought coins or the watchpoint pack and haven't received the coins. A real bummer honestly. Do I wait and see if they appear or am I SOL?

  • CruciataAnthony Anthony Cruciata (@CruciataAnthony) reported

    @battlenet please fix overwatch 2 and I'm not talking about the bugs. I'm talking about the way you're trying to turn it into every other game. This pay to win bs isn't what yall have been about. It's always been play to earn. This suck #overwatch1wasbetter

  • ethereal_ezra ezra ♡ (@ethereal_ezra) reported

    @PlayOverwatch a bug i had is the heros that would get locked for FTUE are locked for me despite owning overwatch 1. This wasn’t the case before, I actually had all the heros prior to today. The watchpoint pack wasn’t working for me but i assume todays maintenance will fix that

  • ProjectileTeeth Gorgon Zola Jesus (@ProjectileTeeth) reported

    @SHOGUN_DRIL There is a lot of **** about Blizzard and their business decisions that pisses me off, but I loved the original Overwatch, so I'm a ****** sucker. Besides, they automatically updated OW1 and took the servers down, so there's no choice but to deal with the new version.

  • rachdubberz1 🌻Rachael BLM🌻 (@rachdubberz1) reported

    Most of my heroes for overwatch 2 are locked now after I’ve had them unlocked for the entirety of overwatch 2 and over 1000 hours in overwatch 1 🙃 @BlizzardCS is there anyway to fix this?

  • Baker18Payton Payton_Baker18 (@Baker18Payton) reported

    @Queen_CamiTV I just had this issue despite playing matches in overwatch 2 already with the characters that are now locked if that makes sense im assuming its because they're doing a patch and that it'll be fixed idk its a little frustrating

  • Jorjakane3 Random (@Jorjakane3) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Why the hell are my characters locked, I have them before and now they are locked for no reason, I even played some of overwatch 1. Fix your game

  • ASeductiveCow Scott (@ASeductiveCow) reported

    All I wanted to do was play some Overwatch 2 and I can't even do that properly because Blizzard to ******* bug the game now to where It locks half the roster as If you never played Overwatch 1. These launch Issues are really starting to get on my nerves.

  • ssspamb0t 👽 🧚‍♀️🤠 (@ssspamb0t) reported

    have been playing overwatch 2 for 2 days with all characters unlocked and then i get that dumb *** near sighted glitch so i restart and get the FTUE 🙃 i’m not doing that **** i stg

  • thecane999 caasi (@thecane999) reported

    @AkaSethrono @BlizzardCS i’m not saying what happened is fair or defending them, it’s a major issue, but it’s also likely one that will be fixed, to my understanding EVERYONE had these characters relocked, blizzard can see who’s account was connected to overwatch 1, this should be easy to fix

  • Just__Purrfect Wacko (@Just__Purrfect) reported

    Am I the only reason that hates the way Overwatch 2 sounds? It's like it's trying to balance the old cartoony sounds with realism and it's just not working

  • AGurewitch Aeon P. Gurewitch (@AGurewitch) reported

    @BlizzardCS My friend and I have been in queue for an unranked match for over 40 minutes and we haven’t been able to join any game, If this is happening to other people, someone please fix this, we really want to play more Overwatch 2!

  • Randel22982765 Randel (@Randel22982765) reported
