Why does overwatch keep matching me with people who have seemingly never played a single video game in their life. Dps with no kills, supports with no healing, tanks who just rush alone. PLEASE FIX THIS MATCHMAKING WTFFFF

The problem with overwatch is that it's so HEAVILY team based that unless you have a decent 5-stack, the game isn't fun because you either destroy the other team or you get destroyed.

@OhReallyJared You're doing a stunningly mediocre job with Overwatch 2 guys. Matchmaking frustrates people to the limit, there is simply no progression and the game does not deliver either casual or hardcore gamers. BUT you have anime skins now!! This of course will fix everything.

@VonClownsewitz Many thanks, I actually didn't expect a reply. I can definitely understand your feeling there, coming back online after an outage to this, and being that I'm someone who maintains it is wrong to use a militant approach (imo we need "Overwatch", not armies), this is just...

@PlayOverwatch I have uninstall the game until you show us the players rank again like in overwatch 1. When that happens i´ll believe that you have solved your matchmaking problems. Your matchmaking is one of the worst i´ve ever seen. It's just not fun anymore.

I really want to like Overwatch... The main issue im having with it is the overall matchmaking. It takes forever to just get into an arcade game atm even if it is fully populated. Often it happens that you are being put into a game where its already ending as well.

@BlizzardCS wondering why overwatch 2 suddenly has poor frame rate performance on Xbox Series X? Never had an issue until yesterday.

@draginol @Blizzard_Ent Overwatch has basically the same issue. Really fed up with the things they are selecting for in their matchmaking (most likely retention and not fair matches).

Bye my overwatch is lagging so badly and I am getting penalized because of the lag making me leave games cuz I’m moving left and right violently

(@games_miz) reported
Okay so, OverWatch really needs to do something about their spawn camper issue, because like every single match I've been in on support has been a spawn camper match like there's got to be some better punishment for it or like a way to penalize it because it's not fun

@hutchthequack Yeah we will have 5 devices on, streaming tv, and I will play overwatch with no issues. Just download the app and make sure you have good visibility first. Even on crazy snow days, its 100x better than what I had.

overwatch2's pinging system is cancer... 9 out of 10 times when i try to ping an enemy who is flanking from behind or a sniper I get the too much messages error message, even when it's the first thing I try to ping after 2 minutes (no chatting before that) #Overwatch

@OWAnonymous_ Dude, people hate the Vaccinator and call it Medic's most annoying medigun for a reason. Overwatch has enough problems, including one of TF2's most infamous is a very bad idea.
