    @JTegh I haven't yet had the opportunity to play the game beyond the initial beta, so I hope they address these problems. Speaking of Overwatch, I hear there's a free/premium battle pass in RE:Verse too.

    @CheWoomy I was freelancing and had someone just run in and die constantly. 0 eggs in, loss with 3 eggs and I put in 2. It's frustrating. However its not the only one with matchmaking issues. I've had the same in lots of other games, including overwatch 2.

    Got disconnected from a really close Overwatch comp game with no time left in the game Team won, but it didn’t count as a win for me and now I’m suspended I’m actually so angry about this, literally being punished for something that wasn’t even my fault. Fix your ****** game.

    @OverwatchEU This is cool and all but I would enjoy it more if I had my skins, blizzard I have had overwatch for like two to three years now and I spent a lot of money on your game and all of that is gone, please respond and help me know your trying to fix this

    Some games are doomed from the start like Overwatch, Valorant, or League where you're forced into a role, then forced into a character. People will still play these games sadly, and you'll hear the repeated "ranked is broken" from pros and casuals alike.

    The servers **** the bed during a competitive game for me on my last rank up game and when I tried to rejoin the game told me that I was suspended I really hope these server issues get fixed soon this isn’t the first time but it is in comp so unlucky :/ #Overwatch #Overwatch_2

    @PlayOverwatch dear overwatch, first off please fix your game. I love getting put in a game with trash teammates, throwers and noobs. That was sarcasm if you hadn't noticed. Also I used to enjoy mystery heroes because it would give me a chance to learn new characters.

    Trying to play crossplay Overwatch with my brother and these games are perhaps the worst I've ever experienced absolutely ****. The matchmaking is having a meltdown and putting us against ******* aimbot MLG pros while we have a bunch of noobs. Fix your game blizzard **** that

    @OWAnonymous_ People should be saying gg and moving on to the next game, the problem with Overwatch 1 is people got super mad and toxic about these losses when they should just ******* chill and queue again. If the new system helps reduce that toxicity even a little bit I'm 100% for it.

    To give you an idea of how broken Overwatch competitive is (for healers at least): I regularly out heal every other healer in the match and I'm still in the lowest rank. I healed 20K one game. As Moira. It's ridiculous, and it makes comp unrewarding.

    Hi, I bought the battle pass for Overwatch 2 but this error came up "we encountered an issue completing your transaction". My money has been deducted from my card but I didn't get the currency. Please help me resolve this. Thank you @BlizzardCS

    @JamesPelaez44 @TattyBeanPie @OWAnonymous_ The last time he got anything, OW2 was already announced. They probably knew he was going to become a problem so they left him alone. I don't recall the exact patch notes but he got to a state of being somewhat playable by specialists in Overwatch 1. In Overwatch 2 he's too much
