  • dennysaurusexe dennysaurus 🦕🐧 (@dennysaurusexe) reported

    @SumpfVirus (Right. Right. But you know what happened to my last stream, so I gotta check first if Overwatch 2 will also crash my stream)

  • shiori_p0n ShioriPon Vtuber🩺 (@shiori_p0n) reported

    🎮 ShioriPon is LIVE! My right Oculus Quest 2 controller is broken so I can't play VRChat. D: I wanted to show off my 3D model too. So I'll just be playing Overwatch 2! #shioLIVE

  • DF1Mustang Gilbee (@DF1Mustang) reported

    Overwatch 2 comp is such a massive **** hole since they made the game free nobody gives a **** anymore. I've lost 3 comp games as DPS cause my tank left you'd think its lag but no one said they got hungry, one just said lol the other said nothing.

  • noregsss Floor Undercuttorrrrr 🥚 (@noregsss) reported

    @BlizzardCS Still time to fix the not being able to join friends on overwatch

  • BipolarVix GamerMom ♀️ Vix (@BipolarVix) reported

    @TexasDrax77 @Respawn Last night I realized that Arena has the same feel as Overwatch but rather than 5v5 it's 3v3 & you get to select your LO. If matchmaking wasn't so horrific & was more transparent & ranked wasn't solely based on some invisible system (hidden cuz they know it's broken) it'd be 🔥

  • CyberneticBliss ItMe (@CyberneticBliss) reported

    @JakeSucky You don't see pro Overwatch players GA'ing Sojourn and she's been broken since the game launched. They just adapt to it.

  • 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

  • WhybrowEyebrow Whybrow (@WhybrowEyebrow) reported

    New character is dropping in overwatch 2 and I can’t play him for another few months can’t wait to see all the clips of him being broken though lmao

  • DarthWakko_THF Darth Wakko (@DarthWakko_THF) reported

    Me: I wanna play Zelda today. 😎 Also Me: But you haven’t hit Lv200 on Fortnite yet and CH3 ends soon. 😬 Me Again: Once CH4 starts I definitely won’t play Zelda. 🤬 Also Me Again: And what about Fall Guys, Overwatch and Rocket League? 😵‍💫 [Variety streamer problems.]

  • OFC8_UK ollie (@OFC8_UK) reported

    @BlizzardCS i’ve been unable to play with my friends on overwatch since the last patch update 10 DAYS AGO. I cannot join my friends on Ps4 when playing on Ps5. Therefore I haven’t really played the game in 10 days. This is a new game, how is this still an issue.

  • jalenjoneshere Jalen Jones (@jalenjoneshere) reported

    @BlizzardCS HOW ABOUT SOME OVERWATCH MAINTENANCE FOR THE PLAYSTATION GLITCH??!??? Damn y’all are slow

  • maddyafk Maddy (@maddyafk) reported

    Lagging out of Overwatch and still getting a penalty for it is insane

  • buttermymatthew Buttermymatthew (@buttermymatthew) reported

    @CyberneticBliss @Jackithink @JakeSucky That’s how it’s different. Cod is never balanced around competitive, which means there will never be nerfs and fixes to things that help competitive play, unlike in overwatch where nerfs and changes come in to things that are broken. GAs need to exist.

  • obitoism ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ tobi ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ (@obitoism) reported

    @PPercalator i have no issues with my mains being nerfed if it makes the game fair + balanced. both dva and genji recently got nerfs in overwatch 2 and they are both some of my mains lmao.

  • WayTooWhiteey #HollywoodSeason (@WayTooWhiteey) reported

    @BlizzardCS ARE YOU GUYS EVER GOING TO FIX OVERWATCH FOR PLAYSTATION. IF YOU WON'T FIX IT, GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK FOR THE BATTLE PASS I BOUGHT. ABSOLUTELY TRASH FOR 2 WEEKS I CAN'T GROUP UP WITH FRIENDS

  • jalenjoneshere Jalen Jones (@jalenjoneshere) reported

    @BlizzardCS How about fixing the PlayStation invite glitch on Overwatch? Y’all should do something about that considering the fact that it’s been well over A WEEK!!!!!!!!!! Truthfully, are y’all even looking into a solution or just telling people that y’all are? It’s ridiculous

  • baconbitz256 Bacon (@baconbitz256) reported

    @PlayOverwatch can you please fix this bug, my friend is on Ps5 and im on Ps4 and we can't play overwatch without joining someone else. We get the invites but the game just won't let us join each other

  • 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

  • Pat_rick117 Patrick Guadalupe (@Pat_rick117) reported

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

  • beanoharvey beanz (@beanoharvey) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN CAN YOU ******* FIX OVERWATCH 2 I CANT PLAY WITH FRIENDS COS ITS NOT ACCEPTING THE INVITE THOS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS FFS

  • DestroyUface DestroyUface (@DestroyUface) reported

    @PlayOverwatch For all of us getting upset over this game wether it’s the store or cross platform or any problems or issues stop playing the game! If enough people stop things will eventually get better. It’s why overwatch is rated the worst free game on Xbox rn so put this game on the shelf

  • Spencer77532720 Spencer Bollettieri (@Spencer77532720) reported

    @TheCriticalDri2 Yes, out of Overwatch 2's problems, this is the one that needs addressing. It's not the unbalanced gameplay, the removal of the second tank, the way it tried to squeeze money out of players, etc. It's the fact they represent law enforcement and first responders.

  • 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?

  • JerromyNolting jerromy nolting (@JerromyNolting) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Good art . To bad the new tank is a pay to win all ready broken. anyone who can read an plays overwatch can see that. Rammattra counters all tank's. unblockable damage is the worst idea ever. Rammattra has to do 5 damage a sec to balance the insain dps he will do an have low hp

  • sSkullzy Skullzy 💀 (@sSkullzy) reported

    Halo infinite Sucks they cant release good or new content COD cant release a non broken game Battlefield 2042 took a year to fix their game and still isnt fixed Overwatch 2 has Unblanced heroes Rocket league cant release anything original you see a pattern here

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Gregotto33 Gregory Butner (@Gregotto33) reported

    @TheCriticalDri2 Clearly the problem isn't Overwatch, it's @Kotaku .

  • Lewis64370145 Lewis (@Lewis64370145) reported

    Blizzard fix your game, I just had a DPS who had never played Sombra before and had 600 damage by the end, in a platinum game. Your matchmaking is making me and others I know wanna uninstall. @Blizzard_Ent #Overwatch
