    I love when I get kicked from an overwatch game because of their servers and then I can’t join back in time bc my match was about to end so now I’m suspended bc of their trash servers lol… @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent yall need to fix this

  • visoredavenger visoredavenger (@visoredavenger) reported

    @OsCarrinhos98 @HeyImSpoopy @PaladinsGame It can run Overwatch 2 it may be 30fps but it was well enough. Hi-Rez just refused to get in and fix the game's memory leak.

  • Shakeyspeares Shakeyspeare (@Shakeyspeares) reported

    @Bruhhhub @Thordansmash 100% I agree overwatch are so much better & communication is really good. If they achieve said fixes totally different story hopped back on for new season hoping for better balanced lobbies/sbmm ranked fix as they said. Seems exactly the same with mismatched tanks & teams still.

  • HY_Gaymer H Gaymer (@HY_Gaymer) reported

    I am making a video about how to boost Overwatch 2 and stop it from losing popularity and fix some issues it has. It will be a long video but I hope poeple check it out so Blizzard pays attention!

  • MonadoJoJo 《☆-Mona-☆》 (@MonadoJoJo) reported

    Internet outage right in the middle of a comp game in Overwatch can't wait to come back to being suspended after the internet comes back 🥲

  • 271ir 🕸️ (@271ir) reported

    @PlayOverwatch fix ur ****** competitive! never faced such an issue while playing overwatch 1 that’s unfair and waste of time!!!!

  • eepystar Justice Star (@eepystar) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix your overwatch servers please, why am I being penalized for these disconnections in competitive :(

  • quackytwt_ ciel (@quackytwt_) reported

    @sosnays i Had issues with my overwatch but not of recent due to new driver

  • SoulEater923 Zeek (@SoulEater923) reported

    @TheKeeper28 @BenjiSales They also make Overwatch and Diablo games, which sell very well, not too mention the recent Crash Bandicoot and Spyro games they released sold quite a bit.

  • CENDRllLLON sam (@CENDRllLLON) reported

    @BlizzardCS have had a glitch on Overwatch for a week or two now where I try to screenshot stats in a game it shows up in the screenshot folder as just the background stats & any other things on the screen that aren’t in the background are gone completely (ex. character icon)

  • SilverBehemoth SilverBehemoth 🎮 (@SilverBehemoth) reported

    Probably not, heard smite has the same issues w/ crashing? Well...considering Overwatch 2 is also on the switch... 👀

  • JstBringIt90 JstBringIt Gaming (@JstBringIt90) reported

    @OneHitSword @PlayStation Diablo, Cod, Overwatch, Crash and Spyro will always be on PlayStation. Xbox will have that goodwill for when they buy their next big purchase.

  • Chrono1aw Chrono (@Chrono1aw) reported

    Is overwatch having connection issues for anyone else I'm running like 180 when I usually have 50

  • martini_new Martini (@martini_new) reported

    @aaronkellerOW when are you going to fix the career profile not displaying correct stats on Overwatch 2 for console ? My stats and playtime from ow 1 have still not been recovered since

  • catchup_wurmpie Warbie (@catchup_wurmpie) reported

    @SlothFruitIII Yea that’s the problem with hog lol you need Kiriko or else you’re super duper ******. With him not being able to one-shot anymore he doesn’t function as a main tank at all anymore so he’s just an off-tank in the Overwatch with one tank

  • kamizard_ Kamimi ⚡ (@kamizard_) reported

    I was here thinking that, games like LoL, CS:GO, Overwatch, valorant, or other competitive games adress problems with their games, some take some time ofc, BUT APEX aka Respawn aka EA doesnt even communicate with their community. A game ready for pro scene fr fr...

  • _scorpino samwise gamgee (@_scorpino) reported

    me: ppl who flame other players in Overwatch are usually the biggest part of the problem themselves also me: Jesus ******* Christ our doom needs to switch he’s actually shite

  • DarkenteH 🚂Pedro "Darken"✨ (@DarkenteH) reported

    @NTBees @Labalakk @PaladinsGame guy Paladins is UGLY AS **** and should run in a PS3 if made by professional devs. You can't say this thing don't run when games like Overwatch 2 which are 4x more complex graphic-wise than Paladins run on that ****. It's pure Hi Rez SKILL ISSUE 💀💀🤡🤡

  • MonadoJoJo 《☆-Mona-☆》 (@MonadoJoJo) reported

    @aaronkellerOW Double Jump????? Interesting... Also, plllllssss fix the issue with Skins in the Hero Gallery... since Season 3 alot of Overwatch 1 skins have been missing amd unobtainable, and almost every Overwatch 2 skin is missing as well. Saving Credits for when this gets fixed 😭

  • Sackyy_ Sacky (@Sackyy_) reported

    thanks blizzard for making me lag out of nowhere and then making my screen go black with an overwatch logo in the corner while i was still in game so i could do absolutely nothing until i got kicked for inactivity 🔥🔥🔥

  • CausticCorro CausticCorro (@CausticCorro) reported

    @spikeddogcollar @NTBees @PaladinsGame Lol dude white knighting he's all over the replys, there's no excuse, overwatch 2 runs fine on the switch and looks better, just dev diff, skill issue irl, hopefully they do this for smite as well, they just can't fix anything or don't care

  • cesaar201 Cesaar201 (@cesaar201) reported

    Overwatch Banned me after I lagged for 3mins and then was finally kicked off the server. I lag out once and im banned for the whole season. I bought the ******* battlepass

  • spikeddogcollar caid (@spikeddogcollar) reported

    @NTBees @Labalakk @PaladinsGame holds back paladins? paladins looks like it was made for the switch. if overwatch can run on switch I see no issue.

  • barret_oblivion Barry A Smith (@barret_oblivion) reported

    @El_Escapista_ @StarScream134 @PeterOvo5 I mean, Blizzard have been circling the drain for a decade almost. On release for overwatch was the only good thing. Diablo immortal, WoW falling apart, and that whole Warcraft Reforge fiasco. I'm not exactly brimming with hope that Microsoft will fix **** and instead do jack.

  • TheNovaPlayss Made in Heaven 💫 (@TheNovaPlayss) reported

    Unless im doing a Master Nez Challenge today (or any other important thing), I am not playing Destiny 2 with how absurdly broken it is right now Rather lose my mind playing Overwatch or starting my platinum run for Resident Evil 4 Remake.

  • ThePreengle Preengle (@ThePreengle) reported

    Overwatch 2 ranking system is completely broken, how can i get 4 wins in a row then 6 losses in a row ???

  • DeltaFireexx ★ D 三 L T Δ ★ (@DeltaFireexx) reported

    need new games to play bc overwatch is giving me the worst ******* anger issues

  • CamboyYour PeePeeMcgee (@CamboyYour) reported

    @Alpha_OW24 @Ryeo_LoL You just don't know that. Very weird that you can't accept the Overwatch League might have problems.

  • PeachiPrism peach🍑⃤ (@PeachiPrism) reported

    @Vimeddiee It's also weird how whenever I see them that's the name the pops into my head and I sometimes call out. Never had this be an issue with trans people as I can quite easily forget someone's deadname it's just overwatch cowboy I somehow can't get myself to forget the name of.
