@MissBarbatos @Aspen_OW you are correct but i seriously doubt their enthusiasm is genuine. I have trouble believing anyone is so attached to the characters of overwatch that they would support blizzard despite the horrible things they have done and plan to do.

Wanted to look back at some of my old Overwatch clips for memories sake and Twitch apparently already completely removed the category for OW 1 so all of my clips aren't organized into a category. Thanks yet again Twitch for doing pointless **** that only really causes problems

The first time I ever played Overwatch it was around December 2016, I did not have a decent pc back then and the game crashed a lot because of the crappy drivers my old laptop had. In 2017 I managed to fix the issue and get the game running

In 2019 I started to play less due to some personal issues and I was focused to finish HighSchool, but I still followed the game, news and streamers. November 2019 I will never forget when they announced Overwatch 2, I was so hyped, rewatching the trailer multiple times

@MISS_SlNlSTER They don't want to split the fanbase. It's not a great look if a new game releases and a noticeable percentage are still playing the original. Plus they'll have to keep two servers going. What they should have done is made Overwatch a live service platform.

@galuade_ I don't even play overwatch, but there's one thing I've learned about Blizzard players and it's this: no matter how bad the problem is, you would be SHOCKED at the amount of people who will shrug and pay up anyway

@Malaka_Murrieta It’s not that they lost me I literally can’t play because cricket is a pre paid service so they won’t accept my phone number. You need a phone number to play overwatch 2 :(

@syberbolt ...with impunity. The other issue is the content distribution being the good outweighing the bad. Last I checked, the only heroes in Overwatch's post-launch my closest friends like are Sigma, Echo, or someone else who isn't directly ruining the meta.

@SYACVG I don’t see any issue. You payed full price for overwatch and got the full experience. If you want the same with Overwatch 2, buy the Watchpoint pack. I don’t complain about grinding on Apex to unlock coins for purchasing characters. Am I missing the point here?

@PlayOverwatch Yeah, no Activision Blizzard. Until you issue a massive apology for the **** you pulled, I'm gonna steer clear of Overwatch and anything else you put out.

@Di_bear @AaronHosein09 @ItsBobbySocks The issue with D2 PvP is maps lose any and all sense of flow, the second you remove control points, they're building maps like this is Halo or Overwatch, without the same incentives to move like Halo and Overwatch.

I’m really gonna miss Overwatch. I’m ready for Overwatch 2 but. I wish they didn’t have to shut the first games servers down. Made a lot of memories with that game. RIP Overwatch 2016-2022 #Overwatch #OverwatchOriginsEdition #Overwatch2 @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent

@kylelindecke Well if overwatch 2 takes anything from Overwatch 1, then except some Support to be broken in all departments and be the new DPS.

@AlsoMijit @IRLBabynikki That brings me some hope. Because I have that same issue. Probably not gonna change much playing Overwatch but maybe some other games

@SadBoiKobi I personally think the issue is the community specifically. Some people are becoming spoiled babies with how they did overwatch …. Now with apex it baffles me how alot of people want change but DONT have any constructive ideas to make THAT CHANGE Just complaints

Not going to able to play Overwatch 2 on launch after putting hundreds of hours into Overwatch because of SMS protect. So many people having issues with their region being wrong not allowing them to add a phone number. 7 day ticket response time according to @BlizzardCS

@___Superluminal @trapoholica @PlayOverwatch That's not what I'm talking about at all. Overwatch isn't allowing people with prepaid phones or no phones to play OW2. I'm saying I have Verizon so I won't have an issue playing, but I think it's classist of Blizzard. My point wasn't negative of Verizon at all.

So Blizzard killed overwatch, then made it F2P to revive it. But they require 2fa on their service (no matter which platform you're on) to play. Not only that but they don't accept phone numbers from Cricket or MetroPCS. How many people are going to give Overwatch a second--

@LotteSara I do get that point and Overwatch 2 does fix that from my beta experience since there is less emphasis on team work. I do think phone numbers should ultimately be a ranked mode only thing as well in the grand scheme of things.
