    Love having @PlayOverwatch tell me my account has successfully merged only to not get any of my cosmetics back. @Blizzard_Ent please can you fix this because I spent waaaaaay too much money on the original Overwatch and I'm not in a position to do that again.

  • underrated_max UnderratedMax (@underrated_max) reported

    @stucampbellfit @BlurrFlavorz I think the issue is that Respawn doesn't have any sort of EXTRA overwatch on players/ teams that are in their SOLE COMPETITIVE LEAGUE. There are people with the ALGS badge who are closet walling and never get looked at. That REALLY shouldn't be a real statement in a pro scene.

  • kreepypasta Nicole Farrah (@kreepypasta) reported

  • Wooferspoofers1 Wooferspoofers15 (@Wooferspoofers1) reported

    @ThiccRaichu In all honesty, im not too How to Feel about all the new updates for overwatch too. Like yes like there's some that I enjoy but there's others that they should have fixed that blizzard never knew, like roadhogs take a breather is way too overpowered and broken

  • sxm_1324 Samantha 💀 (@sxm_1324) reported

    Overwatch 2 servers crash right in the middle of a comp match 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  • nkkisxx frankie 🕷️ (@nkkisxx) reported

    I'm sure overwatch 1 didn't have as much of a leaver issue in comp as overwatch 2 does

  • Notion_OW NotionOW (@Notion_OW) reported

    @PlayOverwatch i havent been able to access the shop or buy any cosmetics in the hero gallery since day one, anyone else having this issue? #overwatch #overwatch2

  • sprucenstone Richie (@sprucenstone) reported

    Got a 15 minute ban on DBD bc the game has crashed on me twice now. This never happened before the Halloween event. Looks like I can't stream tonight because the game will likely crash AGAIN, and I'll get a higher penalty. **** this, I'm playing resident evil. Or overwatch.

  • CodeHarvZZ Strike HarvZZ  (Support Pinned) (@CodeHarvZZ) reported

    Overwatch 2 was fun. Having a broken controller where you cant select something because it spasms out wasn't fun though :D

  • ahad ahad (@ahad) reported

    just spent all night trying to find out what is causing my Overwatch to crash and i have no idea ive reset my graphics drivers ive done the clean install ive done the windows repair command in CMD no idea whats causing to crash EVERY GAME sometimes more than once a game

  • Atlysss Atlysss (@Atlysss) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch Kick me from a match just to suspend me from comp. Are you dense? Multi-billion dollar company, game in the making for years and still cant do this right. Dogshit company. Wtf do you even do when you work. "fix" **** just to break it more. #Overwatch

  • JakobeMan Jakobe (@JakobeMan) reported

  • CelesteYamato Celeste (@CelesteYamato) reported

    internet issue that only causes problems on league, I can play Overwatch without problems, but that's another story

  • MileyRoteRose Miley (@MileyRoteRose) reported

    @PlayOverwatch The game is free2play but the fact the game sucks almost more now compared to Overwatch 1 is just sad. First of all look at the features that were removed on fire is gone, that like up stuff too. The servers go *** all the time causing random lag moments. Bugs, overpriced skins.

  • atbogus213 bogus (@atbogus213) reported

    so i just lag in overwatch

  • atsuko_hirota Atsuko hirota (@atsuko_hirota) reported

    How on earth is that even possible for her to rocket boost back onto flat ground from a point where she should of died. Same goes for point 3 on gibraltar. Please overwatch fix ur ****.

  • LuckyChappyFB Lucky Chappy (@LuckyChappyFB) reported

    @EGravox Thanks mate, my problem is I don’t want to full time Overwatch, I just want to dabble in it occasionally, I can make videos etc on it but streaming is a whole other thing when it comes to algo’s 😭

  • KwangyaBaddie ❥The Eve (@KwangyaBaddie) reported

    Overwatch must be broken right now because it said I play 0 comp games and I only play 7 mins. What is going on?

  • PicklesEsq Tai (@PicklesEsq) reported

    Just a heads up that there is an overwatch bug that gets you banned for an entire competitive season if you get disconnected multiple times via blizzard server issues. I would stay out of competitive until at least October 25 I was suspended for an hour after two.

  • aintyourjam_ notJam (@aintyourjam_) reported
