  I have to restart after every game because it gives me an error after while trying to join a another game, in any type of mode, even practice range. Overwatch 2 is becoming Paladins but worse. #Overwatch2

  so who else is just getting constant "error starting game, try again" for Overwatch 2? OR if you do get in a game, your ping is astronomically higher than usual. I average 32ms ping on NA-West, and I'm getting 180-200ms

  You'd think a AAA game development team would have figured out all the game breaking bugs and network issues surrounding their game instead of letting it continue breaking for over a week. In totally unrelated news, I'm really enjoying Support in Overwatch 2. Me like Moira :3

  This 500 mb update for Overwatch 2 ****** the game up. None of the "error starting game, trying again" messages were present beforehand along with crazy high ping status on servers.
