  • SkyTooFlyy Sky (@SkyTooFlyy) reported

    @kmach1ne @hazeykthx I think the monetization is what we needed honestly. We want the constant live service support for OW. It’s been ignored too much, now they have the constant influx of money to fund the team to constantly be able to work on it. Keeping overwatch going for 6 years expecting the

    @BlizzardCS I queued for a game of dps in overwatch ranked and I wasn't able to pick a dps character? My selection was stuck in the support section and I couldn't go to any of the dps characters. Fix this **** quick bc I got suspended for it.

  • wheresryuji ryuji in places he shouldn’t be (@wheresryuji) reported

    overwatch 2 is when you stray so far from the original course of development (whether due to ambition or all the problems at activision blizzard) that you kill off the first game, entirely redo the team comp and go back on the promise of being able to play against/with overwatch-

  • Ammie_Neo NE°9 - Episode 1995 (@Ammie_Neo) reported

    I love Overwatch 2 Such a pleasure to have a game instantly crash on the first launch and be forced to wait an unknown amount of time for a fix Like how tf do you even mess up this bad

  • lavolpe2106 fushiLoba (@lavolpe2106) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hello, my friend LaveLinge crashes during his games of Overwatch video game with our beautiful team, however, we can't find a solution to this problem, we don't know what to do, so give us a solution if not, consequences. (maybe not consequences but help us)

  • StPowers_ St.Powers is a silly goofy lil guy (@StPowers_) reported

  • sollidse7en Sollid-SSC (@sollidse7en) reported

    Day 5 of being unable to play Modern Warfare 2019 because @BlizzardCS wrongly classified my issue as being related to Overwatch 2, a game I have no interest in playing. Ticket's been updated multiple times, @ ed them multiple times on Twitter with no response.

  • guynamederick Erick Tenorio (@guynamederick) reported

    @SourLemon04 Yep, they can't just be skins oh no you gotta get these new characters by paying more money. In a way, Overwatch 2 could also be pay to win if some new hero releases all broken in a BP. Also 60 days for the first season too? No one has time to grind and pay for every game!

  • teepsart teeps (@teepsart) reported

    bruh console players simply cannot play because of this account merging stuff. we are all stuck behind this lc-208 error message and overwatch STILL isn't saying anything today about ANY of the issues plaguing the game.

  • ImJustAGent GΣΠT (@ImJustAGent) reported

    I'm sorry #Overwatch @Blizzard_Ent but at this point I would rather play Cyberpunk 2077 for the ps4 on launch day than play Overwatch 2 in the state that it is in now. The whole phone number thing... Fix it or scrap it, otherwise f2p @PlayOverwatch will be short lived
