-
Kevin, Local Machu Appreciator (@CCharmanderK) reported@OWAnonymous_ If you think the leaver issue in Overwatch is bad, go play Halo Infinite sometime. It's ten times worse over there.
-
Aaron (@aaronreading) reportedFor the first time since launch, Overwatch has pissed me off so bad that I've uninstalled the game. @PlayOverwatch please for the love of god fix your matchmaking. This is abysmal. I love this game. I want to play it. I'm having ZERO fun with how it's set up currently.
-
Castlehair (@Castlehairs) reported@yoshi12370 All those are big reasons why I stepped away from the game. The whole 2 year wait into overwatch 2 which was met with many many broken promises made me just not want to ever really play the game anymore. So sad because there was so much potential and I feel it will never be met
-
Bug. (@Bug90345) reportedplayed my first game of overwatch in a long time first match i play they report me for sabotaging game and afk i was lagging they told me to uninstall it was unranked
-
talie (@rasbprrry) reportedwhy does overwatch constantly have the “the server closed due to an unexpected error” bug. FIX YOUR GAME PLEASE
-
anyka✨ (@_celestialss) reported@KurtJP35 I can a guarantee they saw the success of Overwatch since this happened in 2017 and pivoted because of that. They truly are scared of doing their own thing and would rather chase trends in service of making more money
-
Crogdan (@Crogdan) reportedI HAVE NOW LOST ANOTHER GAME BECAUSE MY SPIKE GUARD WAS NOT REGISTERING A HIT ON A TARGET THAT WAS UNPROTECTED AND ABOUT TO DIE. FIX THIS NOW. #HAZARD #OVERWATCH #OVERWATCH2 @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS @Blizzard_Ent
-
gamja (@gamja2174) reported@Gracellynn6 @Vodible @MarvelRivals Agreed. Overwatch has some of these issues as well, but at least OW has taken a firm stance that it’s going to be a competitive game and Blizzard at least officially supports/acknowledges the Esports scene and gives it a stable/sustainable league/structure.

bleh (@GiniaAlexx) reportedOverwatch can you fix your damn game why am I crashing every time I go to Anubis and why am I suspended from having to restart my game?? I wasn’t in a match BECAUSE THE GAME CRASHED
-

-
☣Scrapzy☣ (@Scrapzyest) reported@reddhado Wait for really I've been swapping so many drivers to fix stutters in overwatch
-
Buddy (@Buddy_duddy_) reported@Greenpig117 >overwatch players came over Bro we were there day 1😭😭😭 And ow players knew where problems might appear and were right. I want rivals to succeed long term but holy ****, not with this attitude
-
Bear 🍖🍉 (@justbearssss) reportedwhen im suspended from the overwatch comp queue but it was literally my drivers making the game crash.....
-
We_Are_Turok (@I_am_Turok) reported@pampurins i would say that its not really an issue... and that ive survived with a 90% heal reduction... but... overwatch is genuinely built differently and the hero design philosophy never supported cauterized healing, so i get it. it feels suffocating. idk how to help though
-
Trifinity (@HoldFininity) reported@MulticamOw overwatch had this same problem.
-
RJ (@reveluvlyz) reportedWhy am I flipping banned because overwatch kicked me out???? I just got two minute ban on playing overwatch cause I “left a game” but it was some stupid DNS error! I did not intentionally leave a game!
-
Kagetora (@Kagetorah92) reported@The_JBS I have no problem with the targeted strikes on regime leaders, nuclear scientists, and nuclear infrastructure. Providing intelligence and overwatch with planes and ships.
-
Mr. Blitz (@MrBlitz69) reported@OWCavalry So I just watch the stream on the FACEIT website and I should get coins from there?? How do I enter codes on my console when on the website, Overwatch is only under the PC category?? I hope this won’t be an issue
-
Hooni 🇵🇸 (@SmolHooni) reportedGame is not optimized to this day and they barely work on fixing the balance issues. The only players were ex overwatch players who were playing it because they were mad with overwatch but now they're realizing that it's a **** game and it was never going to actually rival OW
-
FLUFFY 🧡🤍 GENJI TALIS CEO ✨ (@genjitalis) reportedoverwatch keeps crashing cuz of circuit royale map, anyone else having the same issues? 😭😭😭
-
kat :3 (@HugeTiddyGothGf) reportedI’m going to crash out from the queue times on overwatch. This isn’t the first time I’m complaining about it. Istg if the game doesn’t rise from the dead and get some people into my games I will go insane.
-
FabledEggnog (@FabledEggnog) reported@velvetapplez yeahh and like, you can tell alot about a person when you play overwatch with them..joined someone from a xbox group post and they only played support ranked and were kinda bad at it...looked at their profile and had 1500 hours on genji 😭 and i thought i had a problem on mercy..
-
A Writer Friend Who Likes Hugs, Pink, and Angst (@grovyrosegirl) reported@acrondle2 Were these guys Overwatch fans? Because it may not be an issue of your voice, but rather just a lack of knowledge on their end.
-
bungie (@bungie765) reported@JimSerna1 @StreetFighter I don’t believe so. SF was collaborating with Overwatch and monster hunter at the same time so there shouldn’t be any problem with multiple collabs happening at one time
-
Cree (@Ls_Cree_art) reportedAre we as a community gonna take responsibility, when are you the player gonna take accountability? If never then quit ya crying and play the game, if you got a problem with it go play overwatch where you will have the same issue
-
pete (@calmassdude) reportedmy kids teacher calls me and saysbthey got in trouble im making them play 24 hours of overwatch ranked and if they dont have a positive wr by the end of it then im just beating them
-
Davie (@thesurveypoops) reported@wildcatsmine this is overwatch biggest problem the battle pass is always so random
-
Grimm (@Grimmr_) reportedwow for once overwatch wasnt a complete fustercluck crazy, thanks to everyone who hung out today and @nexus__VT for the raid! gonna try to stream more potentially tomorrow who knows sent the party over to @MrSocomDude playing the new RTS Broken Arrow
-
Kevin Nogilny (@CookiesAndPilk) reported@CalamariSteven @JoshLavis @Splitgate Overwatch cosmetics carried over to Overwatch 2. It's not unreasonable to think a free to play live service game's entire means of keeping players financially invested in the game should have some carryover when the developer migrates over to a new free to play live service...
-
Alan (@Sidtehfallen89) reported@BlizzardCS Hello I'm having issues with Overwatch 2 I keep getting a "Failed to Connect to Server" it's happened multiple times and I'm hardwired to my console it's gotten to the point where I got banned from Season 16 I'm not sure why that happens but would @PlayOverwatch look into it plz.
