  • IsImposters sussy imposters is (@IsImposters) reported

    OverWatch is so trash whenever I get an achievement I disconnect from my ranked last win match bro I’m so over this game, whenever I try to load back in it disconnects me from the servers for like 10 mins and I can’t reconnect to the game bro

  • MRoninTezz Tezz (@MRoninTezz) reported

    Anyone else having problems loading into any type of QP game in Overwatch 2?

  • xxfr34ky XxFr34ky.xX (@xxfr34ky) reported

    @HighwayFPS Because they don’t get their way. A lot of people wanted Overwatch 2 to be basically the same but it’s not. The game feels so much better the only issues I’m having is like dva and maybe orisa cause they are pretty strong now but if u have a good team it’s not much of an issue

  • letmesIeep ▹ 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘦. (@letmesIeep) reported

    @UseIessMaid cant. i play overwatch. i dont wanna disconnect

  • KillerQuinnv KillerQuinn (@KillerQuinnv) reported

    Anyone else having issues finding quickplay games? @PlayOverwatch #overwatch #overwatch2

  • itarumammon 🌸Heather❄️ (@itarumammon) reported

    The most annoying thing about overwatch 2 is not that I couldn’t login for 3 days. It’s that I have to sit here and put all my voice lines and sprays and emotes back on all the characters and it’s taking forever cuz I don’t remember which ones i was using 😭😭

  • TheRealAJStorm AJ Storm (@TheRealAJStorm) reported

    Man I really hope Overwatch 2 is planning some balance changes after they fully fix server/queue issues. I swear at least 30% of the heroes either need their damage nerfed or need to be able to take more than one hit from even just regular attacks. ****'s broken right now.

  • CureKrizzly kriz (@CureKrizzly) reported

    Kinda wondering which will crash first between Gundam evolution and Overwatch 2. The latter is more likely to outlast the other but the betting line is otherwise too spicy to ignore

  • Hyderix Drake Hy 🖤🕷 (@Hyderix) reported

    anyone having an infinite login glitch on Overwatch 2?

  • andywhite677 Andy W (@andywhite677) reported

    @Pretty_Rickyxxx I’ve tried different fixes found online so the issues must be on overwatch side unfortunately:(

  • NMGonzalez09 Nicole Gonzalez (@NMGonzalez09) reported

    @BlizzardCS whenever we try to log into overwatch 2 I get error code LC-208. Internet is fine. Paid for the first game. Forced to use second and can’t get in. Help

  • eikoi11 eiko (@eikoi11) reported

    @undeadsimba @PlayOverwatch Overwatch 2 replaces the original, so Overwatch 1 doesn't exist anymore, sorry man :/ there are a lot of issues right now so hopefully the phone number thing gets fixed soon

  • NesiVT Nesi 🗝 Key Witch (@NesiVT) reported

    @mochimochiakio i dont play Overwatch, but reading how its Day4 and still tons of issues is def impressive for even BlizzStandards. But they did remove the phone # thing for veteran accounts cause too many issues lmao

  • Stxarrr abandoned (@Stxarrr) reported

    @BlizzardCS I'm not sure if this issue has been made known yet - I can finally get INTO Overwatch, but when I queue for quickplay it's taking forever? I can't get into a match and it's been 15 minutes. My friend waited 20m+ in queue and had no match found before he got off.

  • IAmLegin32 I Am LeGin (@IAmLegin32) reported

    @OhSalcedo @possessed_ow @PlayOverwatch This was the way it was supposed to be played tho. Every game styled like this plays it this way. Overwatch was the only game that had this “glitch” for 4 years.

  • Carpediemfi Carpediemfi (@Carpediemfi) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hello ! (Im on ps5 ) I have a little problem getting my overwatch 1 account back because its an old Email , but i still have the same Playstation account etc incase of vérification and can provide screens ingame etc , would love to not lose my progression in the

  • Crumbzology Mark (@Crumbzology) reported

    If you are struggling with quick play queue in Overwatch, play some Arcade. Queue times seem fine there. I think the others are bugged/having server issues.

  • anderjak Robin Tess/Anderjak (@anderjak) reported

    (whether the labor rights issues have anything to do with the Overwatch team or not (idk, afaik), this is just some stupendously bad press to have to deal with as a developer.)

  • UnknownEmpress 🎃Hallow-Neo🍨 (@UnknownEmpress) reported

    Anyone else still getting log in errors for Overwatch 2?

  • Gameaholic_777 No——AHHH (@Gameaholic_777) reported

    Love that the overwatch 2 servers are “fixed” when really all it did was increase ping by 100% and now I lag so bad I can’t even play the game :)

  • undeadsimba SmØkEy 🇵🇷 (@undeadsimba) reported

    @sxm_1324 Oh word? So ok my next issue is now its not letting me play, is this like a beta or is it free because I had the first overwatch

  • ToozTV_ Booz (@ToozTV_) reported

    I finally merged my accounts on Overwatch 2 and I didn’t get any of my cosmetics back. @Blizzard_Ent fix your **** omfg

  • cr0_vv_ Crow (@cr0_vv_) reported

    Overwatch 2 really just fixed the login queue to ruin the match queue

  • allsundayjelly 🍂NicoRobin says DrinkWater🎃 (@allsundayjelly) reported

    @Sv1501st The main thing is to make it separate from 1. Because the business model has changed. They removed the loot boxes (fun) and made it a battlepass (boring). Also idk if 1's code could handle the live service funtionality. But yeah they shoulda called it Overwatch Ultimate.

  • SenpaiiTurbo Turbo2Wxvy (@SenpaiiTurbo) reported

    @PlayOverwatch tell me how after all the server issues this patch comes out and I finally get the account merge prompt and then after waiting for it to complete and it finally finishing I still don't have my skins I have spent money on overwatch and put so much time into the game all for nothin

  • YaTeaBoy Crystal Co. (@YaTeaBoy) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch I cant log in to overwatch 2 on xbox/switch, it keeps giving me the error code LC-208 but my internet is fine and when i switch to my brothers account I can log in with no issue, but on my account i cant log in. what the hell is the issue!!!

  • WorthShatter ۟ (@WorthShatter) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch there is an issue on xbox overwatch 2 where the longer you play the worse the game performs. may be a memory leak or something

  • AnneTheSeaWitch AAAAAAnnie👻 (@AnneTheSeaWitch) reported

    @BlizzardCS I am unable to connect to overwatch, whenever I login into overwatch it asks me to login again. I've tried all the solutions and nothing works, will there be a fix for this like today?

  • ChrisLhi Chris-Lhi (@ChrisLhi) reported

    Why are people even trying to play a faulty game such as Overwatch 2 , how about you all just wait until the error is fixes so y all can play? Uwu
