  • NOHILLISBEST NOHILLSZN !! (he/him) 💙💛 (@NOHILLISBEST) reported

    there has never been a time where overwatch was objectively perfect, there has been and will always be problems, but you don’t want to return to overwatch 1, you want to return to that feeling you used to get when you played it. i’m sorry man maybe ur just depressed

  • Bensam123TV Sam Adams (@Bensam123TV) reported

    Hey @PlayOverwatch have any of your coders typed in "Overwatch cheats" in google recently? What about ever? This is making Warzone look like a vacation. At least they acknowledge they have a problem, we're still in denial over here. #Overwatch2 #overwatch #esports

  • sowwie Savannah (@sowwie) reported

    overwatch has broken me i am gone

  • KlaessCulptures Doomstruck (@KlaessCulptures) reported

    this happens in real life but also in live service games. You're not special for having academy Dva, hundreds of people have academy Dva and probably made playing as her their entire personality on overwatch, but because you have to OBTAIN it, the number feels lower

  • endedupqueer #Dilf Alex (@endedupqueer) reported

    The issues we had were: Apex is currently down/really laggy. Goes from 40 ping to 1400 ping within a few seconds. Overwatch was having issues with my settings being too high, usually I do not lag when I’m not streaming so didn’t think to check before playing!

  • zPainK1 zPainK (@zPainK1) reported

    @DpsDeku If the overwatch team keep making stuiped decisions about there balancing in the upcoming seasons this game is doomed. I love this game so much and it breaks my heart to see the same mistakes over and over "nerfing a character but not getting rid of the actual problem" one shots

  • Riphtency Rip (@Riphtency) reported

    @yvngpharaohh Learn Overwatch 2 more man - I’m telling you. We need people for a full team. Apex needs to keep dying for a bit so they can wake up and fix it

  • martini_new Martini (@martini_new) reported

    @BlizzardCS when are you going to fix the career profile not updating on Overwatch 2 ?? My stats and playtime from ow 1 have still not been recovered

  • DontAraAraMe Don't You Ara Ara Me, Young Lady! (@DontAraAraMe) reported

    im not either of those but that's sus af esp since now in 1 day we have two examples of her using documented lag cheats and oh a video of her using in overwatch where she panic and rebranded after it was put out

  • protoferium Protoferium (@protoferium) reported

    What is it with corporations being horny on main all the sudden? NO OVERWATCH I DONT WHANT TO TALK ABOUT RAMATRAS FEET, I WHANT YOU TO FIX YOUR GAME, DAIM

  • Rose1Poisoned PoisonedRose1 (@Rose1Poisoned) reported

    @darkgaming_ttv A lot of these issues have stemmed from overwatch one and that’s the problem and high tier play they don’t have the same issue as from brine to diamond players do.

  • CH4R10T_TV 𝓑𝓵𝓾𝓮-𝓔𝔂𝓮𝓼 𝓦𝓱𝓲𝓽𝓮 𝓓𝓲𝓬𝓴𝓰𝓲𝓻𝓵 (@CH4R10T_TV) reported

    The number one problem with Overwatch right now, beyond the balancing and monetization and changes and little things besides, is ranked. By far. It's the number one design issue with the game. The upfront AND hidden mechanics of competitive ladder queue are insane.

  • m2rcoo forced onto shitscan (@m2rcoo) reported

    Overwatch > girls that like you at work(I have a problem and I will not do anything to change)

  • TheMarxen MarxenSableGuard (@TheMarxen) reported

    So apparently Apex is still having login issues, so swapping over to Overwatch instead

  • Rich73890637 Rich (@Rich73890637) reported

    Overwatch hot take 6v6 was not the problem for overwatch as a whole. The problem was that the tight chokes ,CC and 2CP were ******* Horrible @Flats_OW pls react to this take

  • hamster22694107 暴走動物園hamster (@hamster22694107) reported

    @tomuojich Overwatch always have that bug, the only way to fix the voice chat is restart the game again and again

  • Acquiescenceee Ethan #BLM (@Acquiescenceee) reported

  • ironelytra luke (@ironelytra) reported

    overwatch 2 is so ******* laggy for me and i literally do not know what else to do to fix it help

  • KittyKatQA Transbian Edgerunner 🏳️‍⚧️ (@KittyKatQA) reported

    @Ranting_Trans This is one of the few problems I have with Overwatch. Their Asian characters consist of an actually interesting Chinese character, a Korean Esports stereotype, and 3 Japanese characters who could all be ripped from the same anime (and somehow are all able to climb walls).

  • MothGirlHina PNGTUBER: Moth Girl Hina (@MothGirlHina) reported

    There are no good games anymore. The few games that were good are now bad. Take Rocket League for example. Epic doesn't care about cheaters, smurfs, lag, or bugs. Neither does Blizzard for Overwatch 2. Cheaters are getting way worse, did some new software come out?

  • myseglis Myseglis (@myseglis) reported

    One thing that makes Overwatch 2 great is the removal of 2CP, this gamemode ******* sucked in ranked as well as in QP. Assault was just a flawed gamemode with no way to fix it. Yeah the maps were nice and fun to play on but we all ended up hating them because of the gamemode.
