  • nighttrain2109 Nighttrain (@nighttrain2109) reported

    Can’t wait for warzone 2 to be just like overwatch 2. The same game with barely better graphics and minimal changes. We love live service games baby!

  • prophet27349 Kal Vilmer (@prophet27349) reported

    @Bruiser_TV @ZLaner This game has zero backing from Microsoft. It’s day one with millions of people trying to play right this second. Overwatch just had the same issues. Day one is always a stretch for games. Gotta give it time man.

  • flamesofnyx caleb (@flamesofnyx) reported

    like league can have a new patch every 2 weeks cause they have 150+ characters meanwhile in overwatch (val has this issue too) can only do so much, but OW should have released way more characters by now it’s ridiculous

  • BossSwagJumge My Name is Rizzarny (@BossSwagJumge) reported

    @stormaylovesu Why’d they add overwatch cool downs and a loot system and lame RPG elements to a series that was heavily inspired by DMC its so lame Kratos isn’t fun to be play to me anymore and dats before my issues wit new Kratos

  • IkariV2 jayden (@IkariV2) reported

    overwatch is so boring how have they not addressed the issue with the game STILL how has sojourn managed to get past the patch notes again like even league and dbd had better balance and thats like unheard of

  • RealcrocoChan Croco-chan (@RealcrocoChan) reported

    Overwatch is both fun af as the worst thing i have played... i think have a problem

  • jrawly_ Jrawly (@jrawly_) reported

    @DHG_Knight Overwatch 2, Albion Online, Diablo 3… Anything with online servers will have launch issues because the size of the server is set for the player base and not launch player count. I think it’s something like 180% max players during launch of games

  • Jackson_Moon7 jackson moon 💜💚 (@Jackson_Moon7) reported

    @SkoochLoL GOATS from Overwatch. only ended when the OW team forced 2-2-2 to kill GOATS CSGO R8 revolver on release is probably the single most broken weapon in FPS history Valkyrie in Apex has had 90%+ pickrate in competitive since she was introduced Meta Knight was Competitive Brawl

  • Sirlepepe0727 fis ho (@Sirlepepe0727) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN MY OVERWATCH 2 STILL SHUTS DOWN MY PC RANDOMLY DURING RANKED GAMES, MY CPU OR GPU IS NOT OVERHEATING, FIX YOUR GAME PLEASE

  • jingomaheel bruv (@jingomaheel) reported

    @facts_etc @multiversus you’re just wrong but ok. name a single game that doesn’t follow the 20$ legendary skin guide i’ll wait (fortnite, overwatch, league, etc) COMPLAIN ABOUT A REAL ISSUE. you don’t have to buy a skin if you don’t want to boss

  • FLOATINGCAT_ FLOATINGCAT (@FLOATINGCAT_) reported

    Overwatch is truly comical. Still can't fix the game, maps, & heroes since it dropped on 10/4....... But wants to be like LOOK FORWARD TO SEASON 2 AND THIS NEW TANK; PS WE'RE LEAKING THE NEXT SUPPORT HERO; PSS BUY OUR SKINS FOR $20 EACH. *** backwards

  • robbiefw4 Robbie FW (@robbiefw4) reported

    @OverwatchNaeri Just 3? They had 2 years of not working on overwatch 1? I think we need more

  • CreatorZeidiot Crett (@CreatorZeidiot) reported

    Overwatch is such a lazy *** game they can't even keep the servers up with ppl dc and lag smh can't believe ppl pay for this after clowning on it

  • PixelPanda005 Pixel Panda (@PixelPanda005) reported

    @AtriksOW @HoshizoraOW Like the slight utopia we had with the late balance of overwatch it was and sounds great! However, you can’t justify the fact that it makes the game no money and blizzard would inevitably shut the servers down. It was getting stale & people were leaving it makes queue times ***.

  • AreYouJokingMe Logan♧ (@AreYouJokingMe) reported

    @cynnamina Ewww I didn't know overwatch had a big hacker problem. I was going to say we should play sometime I need new ow2 buddies most of my friends play cod unfortunately, I'm on Xbox

  • Joseocasio18 Jose ocasio (@Joseocasio18) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hello I have tried opening a ticket for my problem but you guys keep closing it without addressing the problem. I connected my overwatch account with my PSN account and the skins wont transfer over to my PC.

  • RossCastro Ross Castro (@RossCastro) reported

    @mon_loch @monsterhunter I personally have no problems with cosmetic DLC as long as it's priced appropriately and not implemented in a predatory manner. Buying some goofy layered armor for a few dollars is fine for me. Spending $30 in Overwatch 2 for a seasonal skin is ridiculous.

  • lemon_period ayd 😵‍💫 (@lemon_period) reported

    if overwatch 2 doesnt fix its **** im going back to val bro its not worth it

  • BerryKGN_ BKGN (@BerryKGN_) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Please bring back Overwatch 1, as a whole this game is broken. Ranking system, heroes, and so many more things which make me not want to play Overwatch 2.

  • Badoverwatch2t1 Badoverwatch2takes (@Badoverwatch2t1) reported

    Widow is not that guy. If you are having issues with a widow just flank them like 3 times. Most will rage and switch. Including me. I too will rage if I’m being bullied when I’m widow. So you know I speak facts. #Overwatch #Overwatch2 #widowmaker

  • kefrenguz Kefren 🎮 (@kefrenguz) reported

    @ArturoRdzz @klobrille But It's affected too. If PS and Xbox have the "best seller" game, why leave Nintendo out? And games like Overwatch, Doom, Diablo, Crash, are on Switch. And we had before the COD franchise on Nintendo consoles too.

  • Jabbashomie Salacious 'tweaker' Crumb (@Jabbashomie) reported

    Can overwatch players please stop calling hog broken please thank you very much I do not want my main of 6 years to be nerfed into the ground

  • Av00x Al8🃏. (@Av00x) reported

    @ATVIAssist I linked my Overwatch 1 account to Overwatch 2, and then I had a problem, everything I had in Overwatch 1 is gone, I don't know what happened, can you help me?

  • qu1nnsp0 ٍ (@qu1nnsp0) reported

  • renartko RedFox (@renartko) reported

    Blizzard please fix your ******* servers I had to redownload Overwatch because you don't even have an option to change the installation location on your launcher and now I can't play because after 10 years you still can't handle a launch omg

  • Athenberry athen (@Athenberry) reported

    I really wouldn't mind a game breaking bug that took Moira out of Overwatch for two weeks to a month for Blizzard to fix it

  • JaeBsoNasty Joe Rivera (@JaeBsoNasty) reported

    @Drowzyboy_Ch Damn. Just in ow tho?? I was having similar issues with Overwatch but only on stream. Had to do a massive upgrade to my internet.

  • WillyOmNom_OW WillyOmNom (@WillyOmNom_OW) reported

    If Blizzard truly wants to call Overwatch 2 a live service game, then they have to be willing to provide service at minimum in the form of patches on a timely and reliable basis. This is the type of live service you could expect from an indie dev.
