@Kvasir708 @Polygon The issue is they killed Overwatch for this. Remains to be seen if that was a good or bad move.

What's even going on with overwatch 2 Its free, but also not? You get stuff if you have overwatch 1, but you also dont? What ******** is blizzards problem?

@Shpeshal_Nick Pretty sure it is to prevent people making multiple accounts in order to smurf which is pretty good since it is a pretty big problem with Overwatch and would be much worse when it goes free with OW2

@madsiesss 1. Thats stupid and bluntly a bad move, there releaseing it now to cover there bad press, thats it 2. So what, why kill overwatch one, you can have both without issue 3. Thats simply just untrue, not to mention a gross overreach because hardware bans are a thing

@sadaplays Overwatch was fantastic when it came out, but was completely ruined by updates. I hope Overwatch 2 doesn't share that problem.

@BlizzardCS @acidicnerves Which anyone on pre-paid service, it doesn’t work. Over 40 million people are on pre-paid service. Good job putting the final nail in the coffin of Overwatch.

@BlizzardCS I haven’t been able to join a Deathmatch game in Overwatch for over 2 hours. Really unusual for this time of day. I suspect an issue.

@Dahviee @IGN That’s fair. I haven’t touched League in a number of years, but I feel Overwatch currently has a big issue of players not swapping heroes to counter the enemy team. In League, you can’t do that mid-game. Since that’s a mechanic in OW, limiting access to them is sorta Pay-to-win

@WeLoveYouZahir It’s because overwatch has the worst Smurf problem I’ve seen in my life and 1 phone number = 1 acc (no smurfs)

(@granottaa) reported
@Cinnastag @YokaiRiderVT smurfs, cheating and toxicity have been a problem in overwatch since it came out. The only one complaining about it is people who wont even play, plus a lot of gaming companies record the VC channel to see if the person needs to be banned or not

Overwatch 2 is increasingly resembling a car crash in slow motion and every time I look into it it keeps getting worse

@SophiaNarwitz Okay so no one had a problem with them adding a phone number verification to wz but oh God forbid overwatch requires it now

when Overwatch 2 comes out I just want everyone to know: Yes I’m alive Yes I am eating Yes i am drinking water No I will not sleep for 3 days No I will not see your text No I do not have a problem

@VoidSayoko My issue is that Overwatch 2 even exists. They just wanted to have reason to market their game again and build hype up promoters

As for recording match chat like...why is that a problem for people? Anyone can be recording a game at any time. When you play overwatch there's a chance someone is recording you. If that didn't bother you before, why does it bug you now?

@MercuryCDX Like, I have not had many issues with hackers in tf2 recently AT ALL, and because of that alone there is just about no reason to want to play overwatch rn outside of "servers are shutting down". But even then it's kinda like "I don't ******* care".

You get all your overwatch 1 **** so only free to play new players need to "reunlock" characters which nobody bats an eye when games like valorant, apex and r6 siege do Don't blame overwatch 2 or blizzard blame games as a service for making these things common place

@volskayadottxt Same! I hate to admit it but I'm needing to use my friend's number (She doesn't play Overwatch anymore and I'm stuck in the USA for now) but the plan I'm on isn't allowed so that's why I need to use hers which sucks. I hope blizz can maybe fix this or at least clarify more!

@imAVRL Don't understand the issue. You had to wait until level 25 in Overwatch 1 this just seems to be an improvement. The VC recording just makes it nicer for the players.

@notthebees_ow riot has ongoing **** and isn’t dealing with it internally meanwhile blizz workers have unionized to fight it. and overwatch side of dev team is rumoured to not even have these issues to begin with

@OWJaeger You're literally hating on something because you refuse to look at it in a perspective that isn't mislead and just incorrect. I'd honestly gladly dickride Overwatch because it seems the majority has decided to **** on it for things that are literally not a problem

@MercuryCDX I like how World of Warcraft went from being this really neat new MMORPG game from beloved video game developer Blizzard, to a miserable shitshow of bad decisions from reviled video game developer Blizzard. Overwatch is just what happened with WoW with a few years lag.

@Naminesdad @iHadeel_x it is basically scamco's attempt at a gundam overwatch, but it is rife with problems that i don't think it'll survive beyond extremely hardcore gundam fans, since the only thing it has going for it is that it is f2p

Smurfing must have genuinely been a massive issue in Overwatch. It’s one thing for players to “feel” like there’s a problem but for Blizzard to force phone verification and only allow 1 number per account is wild. #Overwatch2

@bajwablast I feel you because I guess I have visual limitations, in raid if too much is happening on screen I literally can’t find the markers 😔 I used to have trouble in Overwatch too, if too much was happening on screen

@jj_no_jarrett @PeteyQ12 @MercuryCDX Nothing spells ill informed more than people who attribute that problem to Overwatch the game. Not only was the player not an Overwatch player, Blizzard is a multibillion dollar conglomerate whose decisions don’t reflect dev teams

@theMoneyFolder In all honesty, Overwatch 2 needs to crash and burn for both the sake of Blizzard. They need to stop making such idiotic changes for no reason.
