  • TomTomm02962182 GET RECK NERD (@TomTomm02962182) reported

    @gundamevolution This game got to many problems. Punishing solo players is pure bullshit. Worst then overwatch and paladins

  • ZTGD Ken McKown #NotE3 (@ZTGD) reported

    @izdine007 You’re right. I just need Overwatch installed. Problem solved.

  • NerdGamerBoi RollForInitiative (@NerdGamerBoi) reported

    Has anyone noticed any issues while trying to play overwatch vompetitive lately? For starters, my SR has dropped over 500 points in the last week because of who i keep getting paired with as "teammates".

  • CaramelKaiteki Caramel Kaiteki🍮 | Vtuber (@CaramelKaiteki) reported

    It's actually hilarious to me when people think Overwatch 2 will be the solution to all the problems with Overwatch, when all that'll fix is some of the balancing issues. It won't fix the cheater plague, it won't fix the bad MMR that guarantees a loss on every first game played.

  • PunishedHotdog HotdogWater (@PunishedHotdog) reported

    @TR1GG3RP0INT They're technically in the right, it is super 🌈 to ban people for using a product they paid for the "wrong" way. Just like how Overwatch and similar games will ban you for similar things. A broken catboy can be right twice a day

  • cqnrad connie (@cqnrad) reported

    @andybelford clearly Asmongold and Pokimane, known overwatch enthusiasts, need the money and support, thanks. just because you "see" the issues with this doesnt change how ****** this is towards smaller streamers who have been loyally playing your abandoned game for years

  • minzy422002 minzy42 (@minzy422002) reported

    how to fix overwatch 2: reinstate 6v6 replace the Push disaster with literally any other game mode delete brig, widow, roadhog

  • SeraphX117 Brian Smith (@SeraphX117) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Twitch The problem here is that they added people like XQC and Asmongold, but left out people who stream Overwatch every day, Like 6Cyx, Moreweth, Only Legs, Sleepy, AquamarineOW, BastionMain, B0gur, A10Nerd, TryHard, and many others I am sure I missed.

  • Mrs_Frequently VEX (@Mrs_Frequently) reported

    First step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I want to play Overwatch, but then I play it, and that makes me not want to play it. @PlayOverwatch

  • kristar64 Krista 💗 (@kristar64) reported

    why the **** are overwatch servers down

  • Berserk901 . (@Berserk901) reported

    @LastStation5Pro @Jconklin789 @BrokenGamezHDR_ Lmao changing the narrative but you guys were flexing call of duty and overwatch were going to be exclusive to Xbox but now that they are not it's about the service market poverty console

  • lolwatjustin ToniColletteVEVO (@lolwatjustin) reported

    Getting refunded for the Overwatch 2 Watchpoint Pack was actually a huge mistake because now that the original issues are fixed, I want to re-purchase the pack… but it won’t let me. What a nightmare from beginning to end. PlayStation needs to step it up.

  • GappysWaifu 🫙𝕃𝕖𝕒𝕙🏳️‍⚧️ (@GappysWaifu) reported

    overwatch login is down what am i going to do😭😭😭

  • CaramelKaiteki Caramel Kaiteki🍮 | Vtuber (@CaramelKaiteki) reported

    @Lord_Vermire Basically And the promise that it'll be a "live service game" so every 9 weeks they're adding new **** Which was the same promise as Overwatch 1 But people will fall for it again because new name and free to play omg!

  • sacredtrials salem (@sacredtrials) reported

    overwatch pls fix yr servers im gonna kill myself

  • boris_dg Boris G. (@boris_dg) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Can't login in Overwatch :(

  • lolwatjustin ToniColletteVEVO (@lolwatjustin) reported

    Hello @AskPlayStation @PlayStation @BlizzardCS. I have had issues with the Overwatch 2 Watchpoint Pack for two weeks now on PS5. I have repeatedly tried contacting PlayStation Support, but the techs keep closing the chat before I have a chance to respond. I am very upset… (1/?)

  • TAGibby Tom Gibbs (@TAGibby) reported

    @PajamaPajamaPa2 @DeadMystX420 @IGN And all those things normally would be enough to call it a sequel. But now making the first game unplayable means it’s not a sequel. It’s a live service replacement with a 2 at the end. I probably shouldn’t have said small, but yes, it’s Overwatch with updates.

  • jswitchpartdeux Jswitch (@jswitchpartdeux) reported

    ..the big issue was as I played more, I got frustrated more. I ended up hating the game as a result and burnt myself hard on it to the point I won't really even watch overwatch streams while my friends play it. Correct, I would rather watch farming sim than an OW stream..

  • helladrum HELLADRUUUUUUM (@helladrum) reported

    Hey @BlizzardCS, I haven't been able to find a clear answer about this. When I get into the Overwatch 2 Beta, will I have all of my game settings (sensitivity, voice chat settings, etc), or will I have to go back through and fix all those things?

  • lissgeuz william (@lissgeuz) reported

    @AskPlayStation Hi i sent a messages long ago about the Overwatch watchpoint pack where i get the beta ect. I got my refund as you guys said but i still have 1 problem. I want to play to OW2 Beta but i can't since it acts like a add on for a game. I really wanna play it but can't

  • Fodyyy__ Fod🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Fodyyy__) reported

    @shamiiima @lPrjme Not accurate at all, have you tried any other form of competitive FPS? Overwatch, CS, Val all have the same issues, skill is simply not determined by ranking, because ranking is only interested in win/loss values.

  • hermthia (@hermthia) reported

    @swordart22 @theMoneyFolder What a **** argument. Over half the characters in overwatch fall under the DPS category. Maybe Blizzard should realize that such a massive discrepancy between amount of characters in each role would cause problems. Blame the lazy **** devs, not each other.

  • Ariettyx3 Arietty 🦊💎 Vtuber | July 10 - 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY (@Ariettyx3) reported

    wtf me wanting to play overwatch with friends and battle net not working òó

  • JoshuaTems Joshua Tems (@JoshuaTems) reported

    @IGN @Blizzard_Ent I won’t be buying Overwatch 2. Shutting down Overwatch shows you know the sequel will be trash. Because everyone who loves it will play it, realize it sucks. And won’t be able to go bad to the OG. Game preservation is a big issue for me.
