  • ozoneic ozone (@ozoneic) reported from Eagan, Minnesota

    holy **** Overwatch 2 is SO broken. it's amazing how that dev team can spend months making a game that doesn't fix anything and just adds more bugs and **** balance. awful. this is what happens when your dev team has a Cosby Room.

  • babsaiih Babs (@babsaiih) reported

    I uninstalled Overwatch after rage quitting lmao **** plat man this game sucks ***. Login, lose 4 games in a row, get spawn camped, no team coordination, not a single good game. Get ******** outta here. ELO hell is real and it is Plat. Immediate drop off in match quality.

  • inhuman inhuman 💀 (@inhuman) reported

    Overwatch players gas lighting themselves into thinking hit reg is broken in OW2 (It's not, you're just trash)

  • SamJCho Sam (@SamJCho) reported

    If tank is the longest Queue time for #Overwatch It can only be because we found something as broken as Bastion or 1.0 road hog….

  • Lil_Yuri22 Ren (@Lil_Yuri22) reported

    Nah tell me how all my overwatch coins i had are now gone- i had 550 of them for **** in the item shop and after this garbage update it's gone 😐 how you gonna release a game that's been in development since 2014 and it have this many issues and bugs. #Overwatch #Overwatch2

  • Verendormu ⏳Verendormu⏳ (@Verendormu) reported

    @furious_dirt @Tnecwin The same reason he defended Blizzard about the Overwatch auto purchase errors. Except that was only cringey, this is just straight up disgusting.

  • Turboyabo turboyabo open (@Turboyabo) reported

    @ZomBaitBoom it's probably because crossplay camed out in june of this year so for most the life span of overwatch 1 it wouldn't be noticeable issues. so casual players or those who couldn't afford the game wouldn't have run into it.

  • TALIYURRRRRR TALIA (@TALIYURRRRRR) reported

    Overwatch 2 is actually ******* broken

  • ItsCharlesVA Charles M | Voice Actor | Writer | Dungeon mAster (@ItsCharlesVA) reported

    @IGN oh wow it seems that renaming a character in Overwatch didn't magically make the issues disappear like they hoped

  • RyebreadAO Ultimate Conductor Ryebread 🌄👺 (@RyebreadAO) reported

    Overwatch 2 is so much ******* better than Overwatch 1 it's insane how many issues were resolved in essentially what is a large patch

  • Gothic_Catboy Maxy🏳️‍⚧️🎃 (@Gothic_Catboy) reported

    @catb0mb I think the problem is how playing Overwatch 2 still gives them money and attention even though they don't deserve it.

  • geekology_pro Puyo Puyo Tetris Enthusiast (@geekology_pro) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @ATVI_AB Overwatch character stats for me and my friend are not updating/accurate. Pls fix this.

  • WhyTWuh WhyT 🧶 Nyanbinary Vtuber (@WhyTWuh) reported

  • ebrick20 Dawg (@ebrick20) reported

    @Touyarokii Malding at Overwatch. Its a skill issue which makes it even more frustrating

  • TwistTheTwiste1 Sodden1 (@TwistTheTwiste1) reported

    It's very weird to me that people will pick snipers in overwatch, while their whole team is a ******* rein, genji, Lucio and mercy and then cry like a little ***** about not being helped. My guy you are the problem

  • ohyeaaaaaaaaaah oh yeaaaaaaaaaah (@ohyeaaaaaaaaaah) reported

    @ExitLag is overwatch 2 fully supported by exitlag at the moment? i had no issues with overwatch 1 but with overwatch 2 it says "no connection through exitlag"

  • jaydedash dash (@jaydedash) reported

    @CiviOCE @dislecksya youd assume her being the only 150 hero would have balancing issues but no, she might genuinely be the most well-crafted hero in all of overwatch, she just works

  • SmirkMusic_ sᴘᴏᴏᴋʏ ѕмιяк ツ👻 (@SmirkMusic_) reported

  • RadSimisear Archimedes 🔥🐵 (@RadSimisear) reported

    I connected my Xbox Overwatch to Overwatch 2 PC and I didnt get to keep any of my skins :C I dont know if this is a glitch.

  • WestBukowski west bukowski (@WestBukowski) reported

    @PlayOverwatch are we gonna fix the comp placement thing, this is the second time I’ve gone through with healer got seven wins. Had more then 10,000 healing each game, and still placed bronze 5 this is ridiculous 🫠 #Overwatch #Overwatch2 #overwatchcomp

  • Ike_Ondersma Ike Ondersma (@Ike_Ondersma) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch please fix your game. Both of my heroes torb and doom are off dps right now and I can’t climb out of SILVER even though I was climbing on play at the end of ow1 even though I constantly get the most dps on my team. I genuinely wish the old structure of ow comes back

  • DestindHellfire Michael (@DestindHellfire) reported

    I love how it's a "brand new" Overwatch and yet accidentally unplugging your headphones STILL causes you to disconnect from the game servers and subsequently gets you suspended from comp as a result. Why has this never been addressed @BlizzardCS ?

  • dom31911618 10/10 Gaming (@dom31911618) reported

    @FortniteGame This comment like every other would be ignored by the @FortniteGame creators, but I’ll say it anyways, constantly update game and improving it more frequently, fix locker rotation bug, add more creative items, fun mini games, you have a chance to pass Overwatch 2 don’t mess it up

  • xBrunnoFGx 伝説の特攻隊長 ~ Please check out YS 9 monstrum nox!! (@xBrunnoFGx) reported

    gonna play a lil bit of overwatch 2 now, noticed there was a patch, so i hope they fixed the glitching stats problem, or else ugh >_<
