  • violetcecilia_ violet 🦖 (@violetcecilia_) reported

    @BlizzardCS What are the issues with group queue times on overwatch unranked? Twice in the past week my team hasn’t been able to find games because it won’t let us queue as a group, only as singles

  • THEJESSEPlNKMAN alex ! (@THEJESSEPlNKMAN) reported

    my overwatch voice chat is still broken imma kms

  • _angeline Angeline | Naberius' heart (@_angeline) reported

    @EdelWei_ss As a person with some mental issues, I don't really mind people sayin that to me since I fixate over things, and I've been obsessed with Genshin since it got released! I just can't really get my mind in any other game <3 (maybe Overwatch every now and then)

  • khalhatesjotaro Khal (@khalhatesjotaro) reported

    Overwatch comp players are annoying bc they complain about low ranked ppl yet they were once low ranked too lmao idk maybe let them enjoy the game and don't trash on them??? They'll learn eventually?? Yes, there's a problem with matchmaking but it's not their fault

  • Watermelon25167 Watermelon25167 (@Watermelon25167) reported

    Does some know how to fix the skip for now in Overwatch 2 I merged with my ps4 and pressed skip for now and it doesn’t show the option again #Overwatch2 #help

  • AceDetective__ Eli (@AceDetective__) reported

    @FroggerOW Need to know what Overwatch players who can't deal with a Cree in 2023 are cooking. There's nothing wrong with him, he's weak as **** if anything. You actually suck if you can't deal with a Cree. Skill issue- find another game to play.

  • VAMPYTRACY CUPID HANZO (commissions open) (@VAMPYTRACY) reported

    Idk why I keep playing Overwatch, I lag to hell and back and constantly fall off the map. Maybe I'm doing this for Hanzo.. maybe it's something else..

  • sky5niper Sky5niper (@sky5niper) reported

    @LVLUPEXPO FIX YOUR LAN TOURNEY, I CAN HERE TO PLAY OVERWATCH NOT BE TOLD YOU DONT HAVE INTERNET. This is your one warning

  • SallyFeesh SallyFeesh (@SallyFeesh) reported

    So one day I was playing Overwatch 2 competitive, and then suddenly I was faced against an ENTIRE 5 STACK OF TOP 500 PLAYERS! My team was entirely Plat with not a single person in a group. Yeah, we lost. Skull issue on my behalf tbh. ¯\_(;w;)_/¯

  • pos9ivy b. (@pos9ivy) reported

    @SamitoFPS even Overwatch devs have tweeted about the matchmaking bugs… Sure the same roles on both teams will be the same rank but low elo players getting into high ranks is a huge issue right now

  • farzyness Farzad Mesbahi (@farzyness) reported

    Just played some overwatch for the first time ever. This is going to be a problem.

  • THEJESSEPlNKMAN alex ! (@THEJESSEPlNKMAN) reported

    my overwatch voice chat is still broken imma kms

  • SorrowfulReaper Grim (@SorrowfulReaper) reported

    Overwatch competitive really is only good for golden guns, my god. If the removal of past/current rank decay does not fix anything I'm just gonna get the Ramattra golden and go back to only doing placements...lol.

  • Josh_arlle Josh g. (@Josh_arlle) reported

    They really need to fix this **** up dude, the Overwatch matchmaking it's just nasty bro, people that touch the game for the first time Playing with grand masters like, bro wtf #Overwatch2 #matchmaking

  • yesjo14 Yesjo (@yesjo14) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN just got disconnected from an overwatch comp match, don't think it was my internet (could still hear discord). it said i was suspended, couldn't rejoin. i restarted the game and i could rejoin just fine. fix gem plz

  • Marcindzoo Marcin (@Marcindzoo) reported

    @ExcellentGuy11 @Diablo They didint. But im sure if you can run fine, other blizzard games like Overwatch 2 or WoW you will be able to run diablo 4 with no problems. Every blizzard game have similar system req.

  • UrLuvJ0Y Grace🫧⁷ ⎕ (@UrLuvJ0Y) reported

    I hate overwatch comp so much @Blizzard_Ent fix your ranking placements rn

  • cvltvibez888 3AM (@cvltvibez888) reported

    Not playing Overwatch 2 until they fix the ******* game. The ranking and matchmaking is the worst I ever experienced. It's unplayable and annoying

  • densuke_h Densuke (@densuke_h) reported

    @Inker_comics Same here but with Overwatch, in OW1 I reached diamond rank with no problem, In OW2 1st season, gold, 2nd, silver and now bronze, and despite of the rank i keep getting match's with tryhard players. Is so unbalanced that it frustrates not win a single match.

  • Butter__Blossom BitterBlossom🌈 (@Butter__Blossom) reported

    @GreatKnightJ @Ixion4T2 @foxthatbarks How does other games like Valorant, League of Legends, overwatch, and literally any other life service get more content every 2 weeks than Minecraft does in a decade?

  • marf_71 Marf_71 (@marf_71) reported

    It's crazy how when overwatch puts out a good patch for the new season, they ruin it with a terrible ranked system. The amount of games that have been held hostage by plat players in gm1 lobbies is wild. Please fix this.

  • DRockinrager Dylan N (@DRockinrager) reported

    @gamer_tweak I merged my account last night after finally deciding to try the game and I can confirm that I am missing A LOT of my event skins from Overwatch 1. Problem is still not fixed 5 months after launch!

  • BullseyeFNRP ❤️🎯Bullseye🎯❤️ (@BullseyeFNRP) reported

    Remove zenyatta from overwatch, it is so unfun to just play the game when all you do is get discord orb’d when you walk around a corner, it is too broken and ruins the meta, I wouldn’t mind if it had a time period it’s on you for and actually had a cool down instead of 0 seconds

  • bingenjiOCE jack :3 (@bingenjiOCE) reported

    @Cyb3rPilot if you've ever played overwatch in your life literally ever you know that the devs are straight up just retarded. the more the community as a whole "whines" it brings more attention to the whole problem. idk man maybe we just try winning 🤓

  • Pecu73 P e c u l i a r丨TalalMaddah.eth (@Pecu73) reported

    So the Overwatch 2 matchmaking fix was making trash players team up with sweats?

    Overwatch 2 won't make it to season 5 if they don't fix their matchmaking.
