  • CH0PSHOP ᨳ᭬ ⸝⸝ angel.ᐟ ༣ (@CH0PSHOP) reported

    @realm_goddess ur probably not active anymore but i didn’t see this because we’re not mutuals. out of the over 30 overwatch characters only 2 of them are gay. why is it an issue that they’re gay?? why does their minority status have to be changed for someone to write them??? →

  • GhostFavaz 𝙁𝙖𝙫𝙖 🌟 (@GhostFavaz) reported

    The issues I’m seeing currently with Overwatch 2 is the DPS. Simply just not doing a good job, not getting kills, and then the supports who heal them and then for the DPS to continue to not do anything. While the tank has to solo 3 enemies alone. It’s a huge struggle.

  • FoxyGamerGirl07 FoxyGamerGirl07🎄 (@FoxyGamerGirl07) reported

    im lagging so bad on overwatch rn

  • broyeanice 📙 women enthusiast 📙 (@broyeanice) reported

    @minorbone SERIOUSLY. SERIOUSLY i think they’re having a similar issue as overwatch where they don’t want to establish anything as “happening” in the present of the game, because that somehow invalidates the game itself. or maybe they’re scared fans will get mad their fanfic isn’t canon?

  • slimedashee dashee (@slimedashee) reported

    @MunstaMasta overwatch 1 was a problem because they would nerf characters too easily to the point of homogenization now all attempts at balance are just forgone

  • machew6288 matthew ogle (@machew6288) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix overwatch severs so ******* trash i’m done playing this **** ruined a favorite game

  • Only_Phans Aaron Jäger (@Only_Phans) reported

    Alright, imma die on the hill I’ve made when I say I’ve got the best supes I could’ve asked for. One of the other shift’s supers was trynna blame me for reasons I didn’t do nor could fix, and both of the ones that overwatch me put up some verbal hands and went off. Love em

  • READBAKIDOU READ BAKI (@READBAKIDOU) reported

    @MunstaMasta Overwatch fans when they login, into overwatch 2 for the first time

  • Spot64979218 Spot (@Spot64979218) reported

    @BlizzardCS still can’t hop in a group with my ps5 friend on overwatch I bet if this issue was happening on pc y’all would fix it by now y’all don’t treat console players equal to pc players

  • tvxqanti roxi ♡ (@tvxqanti) reported

    lowkey not too excited over this new overwatch tank ,, on text he seems so ******* broken

  • angel98754 Angel (@angel98754) reported

    @EarsXBL I'm fine with SBMM it's having to sweat for nothing. That is a problem. I'm here fighting for my life and nothing to show for it. Overwatch has a good method. Comp has very strict SBMM, and quickplay has less strick SBMM. Cod needs an actual ranked mode with strict SBMM

  • ClaytorsFPS Claytors (@ClaytorsFPS) reported

    @OverwatchEU its funny they never did this stuff for overwatch 1 maybe they trying to increase monthly login numbers

  • BrennonAziel Brennon Aziel (@BrennonAziel) reported

    Any other gamers having issues with overwatch doing the “lost connection to game servers” message and getting booted from the game and matches? I’ve been booted five times tonight and it’s super frustrating

  • CraftMeBacon1 CraftMeBacon/TTV (@CraftMeBacon1) reported

    @didyouknowgamin Dead by daylight, overwatch, phasmophobia, nights, crash bandicoot

  • WrathFuix Wrath (@WrathFuix) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @BlizzardCS @battlenet Since the patch, I can no longer join my friends on Overwatch 2. I have to spectate their game, wait for someone to leave, then continue as team to squad up. Will this be fixed soon, or am I the only one having this problem?

  • wiig_matt J (@wiig_matt) reported

    @CanMyke @Snodevil1 @BlizzardCS No they’re ignoring a serious issue with overwatch league drops right now

  • LosingColor LosingColour (@LosingColor) reported

    @ghoulbagel i get what you mean, and i absolutely agree. i think the issue im running into is that i have a busy full time job and im also a very sleepy person so dbd is easy in that i can turn my brain off and do okay vs playing a puzzle game/overwatch and having to really focus up.

  • Amoux__ Amoux (@Amoux__) reported

    Overwatch 2 as a live service game ******* sucks. The post battlepass rewards are garbage. The amount of weekly coins you get to buy cosmetics is beyond ludicrous. The amount of money they charge people for cosmetics is insane. There's no real content in the game. 1/

  • Tray_thereal Traquan (@Tray_thereal) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent Are you guys gonna fix the bug in overwatch 2

  • Pat_rick117 Patrick Guadalupe (@Pat_rick117) reported

    Bro ranked is broken in Overwatch. I’ve been in plat 3 the last 4 times

  • damon_redfield1 Damon Redfield (@damon_redfield1) reported

    Anyone knows how the chat commands in Overwatch 2 work? Not working for me when i trying to spectate Friends. It says i typed in the wrong name. #Overwatch2

  • usernmelt elton (@usernmelt) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I DID NOT SPENT 30 MINUTES ON A COMPETITIVE GAME JUST FOR IT TO HAVE A SEAVER ERROR WHEN J WAS ABOUT TO WIN. WHAT HAPPENED TO OVERWATCH 2 IS A FINISHED GAME?!(!?!?!?!

  • F0rkofficial Evil Utensil (@F0rkofficial) reported

    @vertex_04 @kentrosaurian What exactly do you mean by consent? You clicked on the playlist did you not? The problem is the map weighting. This exact same thing is happening in ow2, it has randomly selected maps, Overwatch maps have never been an issue till ow2 released cause they only have a few maps rn.

  • Sp3ctralFossa 🔞𝕾𝖕𝖊𝖈𝖙𝖗𝖆𝖑 𝕱𝖔𝖘𝖘𝖆 🗡️🪦 (@Sp3ctralFossa) reported

    @sneddy__ The only problem I have with overwatch right now is how expensive it is, 20-30$ for one skin that isn't even worthy of gold status is a joke and they would benefit from bringing back loot boxes.

  • _spicynugget_ spicynugget (@_spicynugget_) reported

    Am I the only one who has problems with Overwatch 2 like literally, every damn Saturday?

  • Masked_Arsonist Freddy not Fazbear (@Masked_Arsonist) reported

    So i cannot save my highlights in #Overwatch2 It no longer gives me that option, anyone else struggling with this? Did they remove it?- And if they did why? I now have to use xbox capture to save my highlights, Am i the only one with this issue? #Overwatch

  • hampus_wennberg Thrilmang (@hampus_wennberg) reported

    I told them that I have claimed Overwatch drops without any problems so I know that the right account is connected and it should work. But no they still told me I have done something wrong and that they cant do anything.

  • PepeAG17 KS | Pepexer (@PepeAG17) reported

    Overwatch players being salty in quick play is so funny to witness. Even better when they are the problem and blame it on others 🥱
