    @BlizzardCS FIX OVERWATCH 2 ITS UNPLAYABLE!!!

  • Teknosugar Livi Almond (@Teknosugar) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch 2 was supposed to be an improvement. No it’s worse. The ‘SR’ ranks are totally broken. It makes no sense. Everything is hidden behind pay walls that only people with disposable income can buy, and let’s not start with how broken Moria, Zarya, and Bastion still are!

  • pjohhi Pjohhi (@pjohhi) reported

    @OrdinaryGamers The main problem with implementations of SBMM is that it's often not "true" SBMM, it's trying to either match you against players way below or way above your skill level in effort to force a 50/50 winratio. Overwatch suffers of that a lot, lot of matches feel just one-sided.

    @EeveeA I assume the OW2 devs read your tweets. Hopefully they see this. Never saw issue with lootboxes in Overwatch. I can understand why buying them is an issue, but you were able to get them for free through Arcade and levelig up. I'd really love that to return.

  • Sole_Fuzion Sole Fusion (@Sole_Fuzion) reported

    @OverwatchCaval I and many others still haven't been able to login once due to lc-208 error and overwatch hasn't addressed it once

  • meyerpark Fame/Prime Danny Tran (@meyerpark) reported

    @ImJackPackage @CutxThroat2K @charlieINTEL It is, because Crash Bandicoot is a pixar, and full Xbox and pc exclusive as Microsoft owns Activision Blizzard. Microsoft only said Call of duty and maybe overwatch still multiplatform.

  • notNoflo Noflo (@notNoflo) reported

    I’m just trying to save my Overwatch highlights but every time I try I get an error code 😵‍💫

  • NemoBeatrice Nemo-Beatrice (@NemoBeatrice) reported

    Does anyone have any issues with no audio in Overwatch 2?

  • Creepy_Pasta1 🇫🇷Netzanalet🇫🇷 (@Creepy_Pasta1) reported

    I highly suggest nobody play competitive overwatch at the moment, the servers are crashing all the times and many players are getting banned including myself. And even worse @BlizzardCS isn’t addressing this issue #Overwatch2 @PlayOverwatch

  • BackupSio Sio but I am bored (@BackupSio) reported

    Maybe if Overwatch’s main competitors didn’t clobber it thanks to the F2P model, then OW wouldn’t have had to switch to it too. But hey, it’s totally ALL Overwatch and not a problem of the market.

  • SilentShooter82 SilentShooter (@SilentShooter82) reported

    @HelenJa30424038 Idk if he can “helped me me recovered mine” it’s an issue with blizzards server connections not my connection to my account I can login to my account fine it’s overwatch 2’s servers I can’t connect to

  • Tony_Dize787 XGN_Flaco (@Tony_Dize787) reported

  • Skitso85191875 Skitsothe3rd (@Skitso85191875) reported

  • tasluzzy 𝘼𝙅𝙖𝙮𝙮 (@tasluzzy) reported

    blizzard overwatch needs to bring back leveling system and loot boxes after a level up bro… like apex literally has THAT and they have 0 problems while still being able to sell all the special skins in the shop simultaneously

  • CEOofTheVoid DiamondFire (@CEOofTheVoid) reported

    downloaded and played a couple games of overwatch 2... HOW ******** DO I MAKE IT NOT LAG SO MUCH JESUS CHRIST

  • ItsMeAmberAbby Amber Abby💪🐝VTuber (@ItsMeAmberAbby) reported

    have some trouble with Titanfall 2, switching to Overwatch!

  • WBI_Priest 🎃 Retired Dark Priest 🧙‍♂️🎃 (@WBI_Priest) reported

    @xcasstle @R0NINDRAG0N @FroggerOW The localization is a problem but I think the root problem is how things changed with Overwatch 1 and 2 but it's modern, it works for other games and blizzard wants to make more money. At least we get content in return so I guess it's okay.

  • Lephys2 Lephys (@Lephys2) reported

    @DMGSilverthorne @12234d @Kotaku I'm hoping that Gundam: Evolution will be good and get us an Overwatch-style fix without all the shenanigans.

  • saucybunsbobby BOBBY (@saucybunsbobby) reported

    @BlizzardCS Can't login into overwatch

  • corner_of_Adri Adri🦉 (@corner_of_Adri) reported

    Overwatch is broken

  • losingcontrol23 𝔞𝔟𝔰𝔬𝔩𝔲𝔱𝔢 𝔟𝔬𝔫𝔡 𝔰𝔩𝔦𝔭𝔭𝔢𝔯 (@losingcontrol23) reported

    @mechanical_monk @goblinodds in fact the biggest problem facing an overwatch player imo is the parts you're good at =/= the parts you play =/ = the parts your team needs you can pull monstrous results as Pharah just by being halfway good at Quake, but it doesn't matter if your team has plenty of support

  • Sole_Fuzion Sole Fusion (@Sole_Fuzion) reported

    @BlizzardCS What about overwatch lc-208 been 24 hours since i an many others haven't been able to login and its not been addressed

  • Troubou5 Troubou (@Troubou5) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Im on ps4 trying to play overwatch and when i press X to play it just says ”login error disconnected from game server. ( LC-208)” I know its not my internet because my other games run good. Pls fix this I want to play ow

  • kateStayNight kate (@kateStayNight) reported

    from everything im seeing lately for overwatch 2, discord, ubisoft, game devs and vfx teams situations etc. what im gathering is that everyone loves talking about problems and acting like they care but will not do anything that costs them anything to help. annoying behaviour imo

  • HoldenShearer Holden Shearer (@HoldenShearer) reported

    The Overwatch 2 update makes Overwatch into a game designed to make you feel bad and stymied and frustrated unless you give Blizzard even more money, despite that you already paid full-game price to buy Overwatch. It deletes the previous Overwatch experience in service of this.

  • loganofasgard Logan (@loganofasgard) reported

    Many many many emotes in Overwatch 2 have be inexplicably altered and the charm that comes with them is lost to the broken bugs and glitches of the game. It makes no sense. It’s the same game.

  • Elaneium Chris (Kelly Green Batman) - 6-0 🦅 (@Elaneium) reported

    @sinisterra_SZN @Halo I think the strong Twitch numbers this past weekend shows there's some hope. If Sea of Thieves and Overwatch can make decent comebacks, I don't think Halo should have any problem.

  • bleuscreened BLEU (@bleuscreened) reported

    @Overwatch plz fix the 208 error so i can give u the money u want from us consumers

  • PrototypeAxel Prototype_axel (@PrototypeAxel) reported

    @IzumoHaruo I mean it's basically overwatch but with new skins and characters but they did change up some game play for characters bastion is still broken tho >.>
