    @WOOMY89912585 @EskayOW It's just some maps are naturally her 'habitat' and that should be a problem in level design perspective. In Overwatch team comp is dynamic since people could swap at any time; so no map should be a 'natural habitat' for a certain hero.

    Service. You fixed this by letting everyone that owned Overwatch 1 still play without it. But now I am hearing that you are implementing the same system for COD:MW2 with no way of by passing it? So you would rather alienate a portion of your audience. If you are that worried

  • WawyGH Gary 🎧 (@WawyGH) reported

    @TheChalls Overwatch 2 let’s you use ur Overwatch 1 skins. Realistically the only reason it’s called Warzone 2 and is being released as a new game is so that they can reset inventories without getting into legal issues by removing guns from a game where people bought blueprints.

  • Lamppanen Lamppa (@Lamppanen) reported

    @Tohlevi Definitely outlived Overwatch, despite TF2 still having a lot of issues with bots and neglecting from Valve. Still, even with all that, it's hard to say it'd be doing worse than Overwatch! TF2 is iconic.

  • Weirwood522 Weirwood (@Weirwood522) reported

    @hutchinson Overwatch 2 just had an issue with this, due to how it unfairly affects lower income players.

  • mojojoxxxo Jordin 🦋 (@mojojoxxxo) reported

    I’m still rubberbanding and getting kicked from the game and can’t log back in because of server issues please overwatch 2 it’s been a week 😭😭

  • HoustonTx224 HoustonTX224 (@HoustonTx224) reported

    @1stPlayerz @elisdee_one Guess having our phone service through Cricket doesn't help because I can't get on Overwatch 2. So if this becomes a trend guess I'll be saving money on gaming

  • Superfly1179 SuperFly Ryno 🇺🇸 (@Superfly1179) reported

    @VGC_News I use Cricket and my phone is not a pre-pay. I pay a monthly bill and I couldn't log into Overwatch 2 because I don't use a phone service that Acti/Blizz wants me too. Looks like I'll be saving $70 this year. What a stupid way to alienate customers.

  • AAzasda asfdadg azasda (@AAzasda) reported

    @BlizzardCS I haven't seen the Overwatch 2 ranked bug acknowledged yet, my friend And I have been winning a lot and after 14 games he's still in bronze 5. Will this issue be resolved before we can't play together anymore?

  • iShineDoYou Shine's Back (@iShineDoYou) reported

    @aaronkellerOW @PlayOverwatch i think @blizzard waiting to fix the merge accounts to force us to but these overpriced skin at this point. How is this not fixed been trying to actually experience overwatch but cant fully

  • xyrosarcsm Hmmmm (@xyrosarcsm) reported

    Trying really hard to download overwatch 2 with proper region settings and bandwith limitation still getting 600-700kbps or even 60-70kbps. Tried everything but I don't know how to fix it now, and play the game. Can somebody help?

  • CooknCrystal24 _ (@CooknCrystal24) reported

    Just got kicked from overwatch 2 from getting an achievement it was in comp too, and now I’m getting server errors and can’t get back, loving comp so far

  • EdhendraW Edhendra(Commissions Works Open) (@EdhendraW) reported

    I think i resent myself to download The Overwatch 2 for now. At least until they fixed some issues.

  • JohnVeith11 Friendlyjaeger (@JohnVeith11) reported

    Bro just got banned for 7 hours in ranked in overwatch because of this dam error Lc 208

  • NBeckthold Noah Beckthold (@NBeckthold) reported

    Why does Overwatch feel the need to disconnect me every time I get an achievement? WHY PUNISH ME FOR BEING GOOD

  • revoIvearoundme jaydo n (@revoIvearoundme) reported

    why am i lagging so ******* bad on overwatch

  • weinersnake The Voyager 🇵🇷👑 (@weinersnake) reported

    Can't believe I still can't log into Overwatch 2. That LC-208 error appears every single time

  • XxiKGixX 🎃KG🎃 (@XxiKGixX) reported

    Man, Overwatch 2 has it out for me. That weekly challenge that says get 125k total dmg. I got 110k and for some reason it reset TWICE to 30k then again to 15k. Please fix this mess @PlayOverwatch

  • dangerkittycos dangerkittycosplay (@dangerkittycos) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent why Overwatch quick play no quick? Please make fix.

  • idksharkie shark (@idksharkie) reported

    how did they manage to make overwatch 2 more broken and unbalanced than overwatch 1

  • midder64 midder ⚔ (@midder64) reported

    @Mikz_Nyc @The_Fifth_Don @VGC_News If my phone number is exposed to some bs, I'll just throw it away and buy a new one. My prepaid card is working on Blizzard Account, which is enough to join and play the game (Overwatch 2 working without any problems and I suppose Warzone 2 will work too - same account).

  • AirdylanCA airdylan 🇨🇦 (@AirdylanCA) reported

    The fact that bastion isnt already disabled is insane for overwatch And before yall say anything, in R6, Clash was disabled for 6 months because of a shield glitch

  • KJpixel14 KJpixel (@KJpixel14) reported

    @KALS_Kingdom Overwatch 2 has the same problem rn

  • headjack82 Lahdan Ebrahem (@headjack82) reported

    @BlizzardCS I have been receiving the "rendering device lost" issue ever since i have install Overwatch 2 and have been unable to fix it despite using the methods suggested on the blizzard website and other methods that I have found, is there a different solution that could use?

  • lunderscorel NBA (@lunderscorel) reported

    @BlizzardCS I been getting a disconnected from Game Server from Overwatch for the past 72 hours or more and My friend who also plays on ps4 gets in perfectly with no issue. Ever since i linked my accounts to battle net, i couldnt get in at all.

  • ChrisKeosky Kiitoh 🇺🇦 (@ChrisKeosky) reported

    @maccas This (whatever it is) will come out before I'm able to log onto Overwatch 2 without error.

  • BrandonNeverWas Brandon (@BrandonNeverWas) reported

    My audio ****** up twice while playing Overwatch 2... The only way to fix it was to quit out of the game completely.

  • glasshalos Nate (@glasshalos) reported

    People playing unranked in overwatch yelling at me over I’m not healing enough like ***** this isn’t even competitive play!! Somebody got anger issues lol

  • ImNotAMercyMain Name cannot be blank (@ImNotAMercyMain) reported

    im starting to think blizzard lost our overwatch accounts and are staying silent ab account merging to buy themselves time to fix it. sound ridiculous but its been almost a week and they're still holding my main hostage.

  • YoursTruly659 Name Cannot Be Blank (@YoursTruly659) reported

    @BlizzardCS is there anything being done about the blank queues issue on Overwatch 2. Been like this since launch and no update
