    @Sketch1293 @SYACVG Depends if casual matches determine competitive placement It sounds like more work, but idk what lengths people will go to for the sake of griefing. The original overwatch had this problem a lot, even though it wasn't a free game.

    Congratulations Overwatch. You've successfully ruined everything about this game and the release is inexcusable. I'm about to uninstall permanently if you can't fix your ****. Thanks for locking my characters for, idk, the 4th day now? Login issues again as well. Sad.

    @PlayOverwatch How about the issue where my characters are randomly locked when I log in? (I played overwatch 1 since beta). They were all unlocked during the weekend, but are locked today.

  • xBatmanGoddessx BatmanGoddess (@xBatmanGoddessx) reported

    If you login to Overwatch 2 tonight, don’t be shocked that almost all the characters are locked again. Even if you have the accounts merged lol. 🤯 — I’m assuming it’s a bug so it’ll be fixed soon I hope.

    @BlizzardCS why did @PlayOverwatch lock all our characters? What happen to Overwatch 1 owners not needing to unlock the og characters? Fix your game.
