  • WrassleGuy Wrasslin Guy (@WrassleGuy) reported

    Wow. Overwatch 2 is actually unplayable with the lag spikes happening. That’s amazing

  • Sp1ritB0x Heml0ck (@Sp1ritB0x) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ no problem rewarding good aim however overwatch isnt solely meant to be a point and click sim, gamesense should arguably factor in more

  • VoltyGal Nicole The All Powerful (@VoltyGal) reported

    @DomaniaVtuber How is this unpopular? I swear people have had a problem with him, Bastion and Symetra since the release of Overwatch. Or at least I have

  • NicholasUsman TylerDurdenFTW🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇦🍉 (@NicholasUsman) reported

    I'm back. My vision is that I will be overwatch initially and then can start bonking. I am having issues transferring VPN to desktop but that shouldn't be an issue. WIll do mainly intel but may bonk after that. LMK who would want to see go down #NAFO #NAFOfellas

  • Rouchruvis Neil Rouchruvis (@Rouchruvis) reported

    @Enrique_De_Leon @ThisIsITalk Nope there's a reason I fell outta Overwatch after 2018 and from what I've seen 2 has not fixed any of the problems I've had

  • SWXDISHENGINEER 𝐑𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞! 🏳️‍⚧️ (@SWXDISHENGINEER) reported

    @FRMYLVE — currently. "...ah." she finally, quietly says. Her face says it all. This is a foreign world and even a foreign reality. "I'm... I'm not even sure where to begin... One minute I'm at Overwatch, trying to fix Lena's accelerator and the next I'm... I'm not even in the same—

  • RosendoMtz418 Rose🥀🌹 (@RosendoMtz418) reported

    @BiggieCheese902 @DxTrixterz @UpdateApex Overwatch can merge accounts with little to no problem I just dont see how they can do it and Apex cant. Well actually ai can see why money smh thats why I stopped playing too on my PS5 I have nothing on my Xbox I have so much it hurts

  • milesbroadcast1 Miles Broadcast (@milesbroadcast1) reported

    @BlizzardCS ive been lagging since the recnet update of overwatch. will there be a fix for this????

  • gedster49 gedster (@gedster49) reported

    @Juicysteak117 Overwatch has fumbled so hard in the lore department, hopefully the PvE next year gives us some more insight. Unfortunately I see the potential for OW to run into the same problem Apex has, releasing characters so quickly that loose ends go YEARS without being *******.

  • Kemmo_Ado ✨Kemmo✨ (@Kemmo_Ado) reported

    @OverwatchEU >overwatch accounts making small quizzes to fix people’s skill issues

  • DadHollys HollysDad (@DadHollys) reported

    Someone thanked me for my service today after I told them I main support in OverWatch 2

  • JustCallMeKing7 King (@JustCallMeKing7) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ You really don't like overwatch huh? Every post is you hating on something in the game. It has its issues for sure but take it easy.

  • gulpinballs *** gobbler (@gulpinballs) reported

    @BlizzardCS I am now banned from competitive in Overwatch 2 for 20 hours. This is due to a problem on your servers’ issues, nothing having to do with my wifi connection ‘nor console I am using. My boyfriend whom lives with me has never had this occur to him. This is not the 1st, 2nd, 3rd

  • ManVable vable (@ManVable) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ cuz it's like, if the devs & the community for halo can get on the same wave-length, we could see a good game a couple years from now. blizzard is already good with their community but it feels like overwatch's problems will stay due to half of the community being fine with them

  • SpinsRock SpinsRock 🇺🇦 (@SpinsRock) reported

    @ShadowAJP__ @aldescora @ItsSomjuu Rainbow 6 actually took that feature out of the game a few years back due to feedback from the community. Though I do wish overwatch would do this as the lighting in overwatch wouldn't make it an issue.

  • ottersofte zenos malewife (@ottersofte) reported

    I'm sure glad overwatch 2 has kept up with its routinely unstable frame rate issues! just like the original would've wanted

  • FredCasden Fred Casden (@FredCasden) reported

    @DraceTales @Kotaku @DraceTales it's funny, in old Overwatch over the past six months finding Tanks was the huge problem. But still I don't mind playing Support, and I also don't mind waiting in a queue for Tank or Damage roles.

  • BcrcGaming BCRCGAMING (@BcrcGaming) reported

    @PlayOverwatch , I've got a tonne of skins that I owned in OW1, that now apparently I don't own... what the hell?.. first they just didn't appear, now they appear but I don't own them?.. FIX THIS!! #Overwatch #Overwatch2

  • KnightofFour Dorothea Ernst (@KnightofFour) reported

    @MrMorganSmee @_Bl33zy_ @gundamevolution As in, despite any problems, it's still better than Overwatch 2. Soldier 76 himself Retweeted this reply. He took it out of context, didn't he? 😑

  • istacksilver Blanton Silver (@istacksilver) reported

    And why is this being reported like this wasn't an issue in Overwatch 1 as soon as they implemented role queue?

  • CriticGaymer Critical Gaymer (@CriticGaymer) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Your opinions are off the board everywhere, its like Overwatch just isn’t for you, but you force yourself to play it for god only knows why. If the devs trued to fix everything you have a problem with it would takes years and be a whole new game.

  • cccameo_ gabriel's in his hater era (@cccameo_) reported

    my main issue with overwatch is probably that i am comparing their character design to apex legends which means that OW never really had a chance. and its like i would play apex but 1. i suck and 2. no friends to play w/ :(

  • Guys_The_Name Guy (@Guys_The_Name) reported

    Internet gave out and obs can't reconnect for some reason even after I reset everything and got an internet connection. So I'll fix that amd see you guys tomorrow at 5pm for some Overwatch 2 or some scary games can't decide yet.
