    At this point jus shut down overwatch theres no point in the game anymore with all these delays and game issues. trash *** game

  • BlueArrow4505 trout.boy (@BlueArrow4505) reported

    @Flats_OW People are complaining about this? It’s been a thing for years in other games similar to Overwatch like TF2. It really isn’t a problem and very rarely actually comes into play in a real game.

  • SamitoFPS Samito (@SamitoFPS) reported

    Honestly if you want to fix bastion in Overwatch 2 you should just revert his ult back to tank configuration. That ult was bad in Overwatch 1 but without two shields in the game and duels being important it actually would be a way better ult than Artillery Strike LOL

  • Denjah_ Denjah (@Denjah_) reported

    @verttontop @cordelloXO i forgot you’re **** at val, my bad we don’t have this issue on overwatch

  • Attixus_ Atticus 🐀 (@Attixus_) reported

    @BlizzardCS this issue better be so "critical" that shipping the update would case overwatch 2 to go down for a week

  • Tarc_The_Monk Chris Sherwood (@Tarc_The_Monk) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @overwatchleague It’s the 15th and I still haven’t gotten any of my coins or rewards from watching ALL OF THE OWL FINALS even after triple checking my account was properly connected PLEASE FIX THE REWARDS SYSTEM THIS SUCKS #Overwatch2 #Overwatch #OWL2022

  • Naturalxp1 Naturalxp (@Naturalxp1) reported

    @brianbct007 @SamitoFPS Too bad twitter doesnt have the capacity in one single tweet to mention 50% of the problems overwatch 2 has and had.

  • Dajoh0 Dajoho (@Dajoh0) reported

    update: overwatch 2 rank rank is still broken

  • cameronmorley cameron morley (@cameronmorley) reported

    @NNicx458 @avatarrishi @Flats_OW I want to go back to overwatch 1 Yh way better game then this **** nothing was broken in that game never had to take a hero out in 6 hrs

  • ComposerPhantom PhantomComposer (@ComposerPhantom) reported

    Why ******** is the Overwatch team refusing to nerf Sojourn? I have been insta killed by a rail gun THREE TIMES THROUGH TRANSCENDENCE that isn’t even FULLY CHARGED. No other ability in the game can do this and you’re going to act like she’s NOT broken? @PlayOverwatch

  • SkyHighYoshi Justin Hevia 🐣⚡️ (@SkyHighYoshi) reported

    @BlizzardCS Bro you better push this patch today? This game is ******* boring I’m tired of fighting the same boring broken heroes every match. Can’t believe yalll actually ruined overwatch this bad

  • melanieanneDBD MelanieAnne (@melanieanneDBD) reported

    End of an era. That credit line has enabled some absolutely horrible habits, including Overwatch loot boxes, Elder Scrolls Legends card packs, and ofc Dead by Daylight skins. No more. One Twitch sub on autopay, and "throwing away" the login.

  • AaColibri Memelas, S. Kochō enjoyer (@AaColibri) reported

    @OverwatchNaeri The critical issue: they accidentaly made Hog stronger in a patch meant to make Sojourn the only Good hero and overwatch Supreme ruler

  • alXtrathicc alXtrathicc (@alXtrathicc) reported

    @FreebirdGamer @HasiratS My issue is more associated to overwatch and blizzard itself being allowed to get that praise

  • RamyWafik Ramy (@RamyWafik) reported

    😭I always thought competitive valorant was bad until I tried overwatch. The ranking system is just broken.

  • gaabbymartin gabby (@gaabbymartin) reported

    @kyogaitv @ItsSomjuu Yes but If I say three to four words that’s plenty for a teammate to decide it’s okay to harass me even if i’m making genuine call outs. It’s happened before, not just in Overwatch. I feel like if callouts mean that much, join a discord server and form a group, problem solved.

  • wolfforever52 wolfforever5 (@wolfforever52) reported

    @OverwatchCaval christ, how can a company mess this bad to the point of delaying an update for which they had TWO weeks to develop, and then have that exact "critical issue" patch be used in the overwatch league?? something really does not add up here.

  • Dajoh0 Dajoho (@Dajoh0) reported

    update: my overwatch 2 tank rank is still broken

  • chubchilla1 Chubchilla (@chubchilla1) reported

    Despite this, I *still* have faith that Overwatch can be great but we really gotta pick it up. Lower prices, patch things faster, fix the rank UI, *communicate*, make the battlepass better, add coins to the battlepass, and get broken heroes back in the game faster. Please. PLEASE

  • legitAdventurer LegitAdventurer TTV 🍥 (@legitAdventurer) reported

    @blue_jaki Aparently there is an issue within Overwatch 2 right now where people are mass reporting Doomfist players and getting them banned lol

  • OverwatchCaval Overwatch Cavalry 🇬🇧 (@OverwatchCaval) reported

    🗒 The Overwatch team are working to resolve a critical issue with the patch; they will post an update on the forums and on their socials (@PlayOverwatch) as soon as possible.

  • TCh0s3n0ne 👻 The Thankful One 👻 (@TCh0s3n0ne) reported

    Please don't tell me Overwatch 2 ranked lobbies are broken and just as bad as pubs -_-

  • Swagcmiller Swagcmiller (@Swagcmiller) reported

    Classic blizzard dude they delay the update for the game, they delayed the pve for the game, and even in the beginning of overwatch 2 they had to patch 3 heros or 4 I dont remember because they were broken?! Blizzard are you ok?

  • ThatManDan97 Daniel (@ThatManDan97) reported

    @Unb0undVoid @OmoiteS @AndreaPichinini More than fair enough, you certainly get much more value for your money that way. I usually have a multiplayer game running on the side too, currently jumping between Halo Infinite and Overwatch 2 for my multiplayer fix.

  • BruiserVT42 Bruiser (@BruiserVT42) reported

    @OverwatchFR Bro please make him broken which means make him a good tank

  • AlinCodee AlinCodee (@AlinCodee) reported

    @BlizzardCS Blizzard, I love Overwatch 2. But why can you not simply hotfix a broken hero? Why does a bugged hero have to be disabled for weeks until a patch is released? I don't see the logic in this. I don't know if I believe in these excuses anymore.

  • JimoarGaming Jimoar (@JimoarGaming) reported

    @HoegLaw My question is could they put in writing (not exactly a contract) but a binding agreement to not make legacy ip (cod Diablo, overwatch, crash bandicoot, etc) exclusive for a decade or so?

  • Vixvaciousuwu 🎄🎁Vixvacious but Festive🎁🎄 (@Vixvaciousuwu) reported

    @Deventh @OverwatchNaeri Those seasons is just fine, stop complaining about things that arent the problem. If you want something justified to complain about Overwatch related complain about cosmetic prices. (2/2)

  • LILHOMEINVASI0N an absolutely absurd amount of gang **** (@LILHOMEINVASI0N) reported

    @OverwatchNaeri everyone who bought this today, you really are the problem with Overwatch 2’s Monetization, hate me if you want it’s just the truth
