  • TheExCount TheExCount | eternal pre-debut vtuber (@TheExCount) reported

    There's some bug in #Overwatch that just blacks out your screen and as far as I can tell the only way to fix it is to alt+f4 and restart the game. So anyway I've got a temp ban from Overwatch due to having to restart because my comp match was literally just a black screen

  • PonyBoii64 Ratchet (@PonyBoii64) reported

    @thicc_stick_boi Just about live service game that isn't Minecraft. Overwatch 2, Warzone, Fortnite, hell even Forza Horizon has gotten lame af with their monetization schemes

  • xHoneydukes Honeydukes (@xHoneydukes) reported

    @BlizzardCS got this error twice today while playing Competitive Overwatch 2 on PS4. Server closed due to an unexpected error. Does it affect my ranking??

    @PlayOverwatch first you take away our favorite game since 2016 and then come out with a crappy sequel and now I'm jiggle-lagging. Wtf is going on overwatch, do better!!

  • The_Carolean 🇮🇪Caro🇮🇪 (@The_Carolean) reported

    Just a reminder, #Overwatch2 's overpriced cosmetics aren't an OW exclusive issue, they're around the same price as most of Fortnite's cosmetics, the issue is because Overwatch 1's monetisation was so generous it makes the ****** system that is "AAA" monetization more apparent.

  • Hollowfun1 HoloFun10 | 🐉❤️🪐 (@Hollowfun1) reported

    Overwatch menu suddenly connected to my controller and its drifting 😔 I need to fix this controller fr fr

  • freakyfred44 . (@freakyfred44) reported

  • Blant14 blantm14 (@Blant14) reported

  • mgdougal1888 Definelty not Robert mgdougal (@mgdougal1888) reported

    @PlayOverwatch why ******** can you not join back a game if you leave/lag out on ranked what a ******* stupid team youse have working for youse learn from other games and why they are more successful than yours what a hunk of junk overwatch is 👍

  • moshipsword Blake Durnell (@moshipsword) reported

    @DebbieDrangus @MorganTan03 @DpsDeku The big thing with bringing down from 6v6 to 5v5 is to make everyone life more valuable in overwatch 1 you could lose 1 tank and then get steam rolled in 5v5 losing one person isn't the end could they have fix 6v6 maybe but doing that with 2 tanks would have been way harder

  • KivTheHuman KivTheHuman (@KivTheHuman) reported

    Not to say Overwatch is above criticism. It has its problems for sure especially in terms of current balance. But people acting like this meta has been stale for a decade when the game is just over a month old. Or how they hate matchmaking now as if it's any worse than OW1 🥴

  • greenonez2 Wesley Prince (@greenonez2) reported

    @ThisIsITalk I honestly don’t see any problem. I mean Fortnite’s been doing it for years but Overwatch does it and everyone hates? I just don’t understand

  • Unknow3nSoldi3r Unknow3n (@Unknow3nSoldi3r) reported

    If you leave your team in overwatch, you’re the problem, you’re the problem, AND you’re the problem

  • Wolfie_365 Wolfie (@Wolfie_365) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch 2's Career Profile is not updating competitive, how do you fix this😞

  • lilyinmisery lily | aspiring vtuber (@lilyinmisery) reported

    overwatch pls fix ur match making what is this bs.

  • MichMammoliti MM (@MichMammoliti) reported

    @EirikaMvP @FroggerOW Isn't SBMM solving the issue? Why do we have a ranked mode? Overwatch, like Valorant, is a competitive game. Experienced players will hit headshots more consistently. Again, Sojourn is not the problem. It's the game that made headshots more accessible.

  • billb0ard Keils (@billb0ard) reported

    gone 7-0 three times as support and I'm still in bronze 5. Overwatch needs to fix it's competitive system

  • JackOfspAdes98 Andy ♠️ PNGTuber Demigod of Luck (@JackOfspAdes98) reported

    My laptop crashed immediately after I closed OBS lmao better than having it crash during stream. Thanks for hanging out in stream, we didn't finish our Tank placements but we did our best. We raided @starglazedmoss who was also playing Overwatch so show them some support! GN all

  • STYLOUTSYDE Mal🎈 (@STYLOUTSYDE) reported

    My problems with Overwatch 1. It seems for some reason the game is just god awful if you’re not playing with your friends 2. No real incentive to play cause you can’t even see your level or rank. 3. Tanks are unseriously invincible I get it’s only one tank but still.

  • darkgaming_ttv Darkgaming_ttv (@darkgaming_ttv) reported

    Unpopular opinion : Overwatch 2 main problem : The player base

  • ScarCr0w_ Germ (@ScarCr0w_) reported

    I’m so excited the first games Imma load up is Overwatch,Roblox and Sims 4 😭 No more lag,overheating laptop and a messed up controller 🙏🏽

  • H9Kil Kil_h9 (@H9Kil) reported

    @BlizzardCS Thank you, sir, for your response, but there is no solution to my problem, which is that I was banned in Comp Overwatch 2, and my device was in a western condition and I could not play, and I was given a ban because of this and this is a ban for the length of a season
