  • cdchaneyy Boo-za (@cdchaneyy) reported

    Idk maybe its just me but if I'm consistently top elims as dps, healing as healer, and mitigated as tank... Maybe im not the common problem on my overwatch teams

  • BrenRautenbach BrenQ_Bunny (@BrenRautenbach) reported

    We struggled a lot with our internet yesterday! So stream was only about an hour long. The lag was unreal and it just isn't fair for you guys to watch a stream like that! We haven't encountered any problems today so I'm hopeful tonight will be better! Overwatch again? 🤩😎

  • Turned_up_94 Charm_city_killerTV (@Turned_up_94) reported from Baltimore, Maryland

    Overwatch need to fix there ******* servers I just got kicked from a vomp match talking about network error and I'm just like how I'm hard wired in fix yall **** man it's annoying as hell @Blizzard_Ent

  • midder64 midder ⚔ (@midder64) reported

    @MacieJay Its already good game, so there is no need to make Siege 2, same with Overwatch. Sadly I found this game extremely toxic, even more than CS:GO, and way more than Overwatch 2. And that's something you can't fix with "new" title.

  • PGFXKiu Put Oni In SF6 You Cowards (@PGFXKiu) reported

    All my stuff from Overwatch 1 is still gone. 1k+ hours, special skins; gone. 😞 I'm heartbroken. Support ticket said "We're still working on a fix but try this". "Did you try turning it on and off again" is what I feel like I was told. Day already ruined, tbh.

  • Abscondough 🜏 (@Abscondough) reported

    we all know blizzard has a problem with employees just endless problems union laws and union employees can fix so overwatch is also a very quick game anyone can play for a few hours right after their hourly wage job so lets say i have a reason to be doing this

  • Chubby1G Jayden (@Chubby1G) reported

    Anyone else’s PC crash while playing Overwatch 2?

  • _chrono_ Chrono (@_chrono_) reported

    I wanted to stream Overwatch 2 earlier, but my internet said no. And experiencing an outage. :( Hopefully it's up by 1pm. If not. Ima be a sad potato playing civ 6 offline with the bots.

  • OtakuLuke33 luke roberts (@OtakuLuke33) reported

    @PlayStation @ATVI_AB @Blizzard_Ent Overwatch 2 became free to play across all gaming platforms from the 4th of october. then why have Playstation charged me £34.99 for Overwatch 2 on the 5th of October and have now suspended my playstation account and will not resolve the issue.

  • Whylamar20x “Yeah metro boomin make it boom” (@Whylamar20x) reported

    Overwatch is so bad that it’s good. I enjoy it so much but the game itself is absolutely broken

  • Pangiee1034 Stanley Pang (@Pangiee1034) reported

    @PlayOverwatch on sliver 2 play w7 l3(game leave x 1 times auto disconnect) show up rank sliver 2.. good job overwatch!! see ya next time if got chance!

  • Its_Jafy it's Jafy! (@Its_Jafy) reported

    Overwatch fix your ******* server I don't want to get dc when im in my comp games

  • JohnDav59259982 John Davis (@JohnDav59259982) reported

    @PhartGaming Obviously toxicity. I wouldn't say this is a problem in my favorite game. Which has been SC2 since it came out. Since it's not really that bad. However, this is a huge problem in Overwatch which I enjoy casually. Buy a game that looks really fun. T...

  • TheSmokingPun A Man of Mild Consequence (@TheSmokingPun) reported

    Person I was playing with yesterday was using ableist slurs the entire game & yet I'm in trouble. Put that with the awful comp experience, they've managed to kill Overwatch in under a month. Thanks @Blizzard_Ent, been a loyal customer for over 20 years but that might end soon.

  • aalduhr aldu (@aalduhr) reported

    @vxunderground thats why overwatch was lagging yesterday :/

  • Saint_Pootis Aardvark (@Saint_Pootis) reported

    Nothing kills the mood like phasing through people with the one hero who really shouldn't, but at this point I'm convinced Overwatch has the net code of 1hz, death with shield up, but kill cam shows I never put it up, immortality orbs and lamp not working etc etc

  • QueMyShitUp King of Games Que⚡️ (@QueMyShitUp) reported

    @ElWoschbaeros The thing is an Elo system doesn’t solve the issue only mitigates it slightly. Smite had elo, and you still get bad teammates, Overwatch has elo, can still get bad teammates. This Holy Grail of a solution Unite players are looking for when it comes to matchmaking doesn’t exist.

  • okayymike Missionary Mike (@okayymike) reported

    @BlizzardCS Still cannot play overwatch, the login bug is still going strong even though it was "fixed". Submitted a ticket two weeks ago, no response.

  • chaoticsturdy chaoticsturdy_ (@chaoticsturdy) reported

    If you spawn camp in overwatch 2 then you clearly need to either go back to call of duty or see a therapist to address your bad childhood because you obviously have issues #Overwatch2

  • Zeaig Zeaig - パンダ (@Zeaig) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ I mean, hypothetically couldn’t almost any of the existing heroes already be Jewish? That said, I don’t really see them bringing religion into the mix on overwatch, it’s just asking for trouble.

  • sandlionman Will Searight (@sandlionman) reported

    overwatch has so many problems rn, they next like 4 heroes they release need to be healers if they are gonna stick with this 1-2-2 ****

  • biggayboobs94 astra is neat (@biggayboobs94) reported

    @DoomerDD in overwatch it doesnt but in apex it can feel like it sometimes. its ******* stupid and especially with old valkyrie invalidating the downsides of controller making HALF YOUR PC ESPORTS SCENE SWAP TO IT then maybe there is a problem

  • brandooonyeah Brandon cook (@brandooonyeah) reported

    @GMPEREIRA_ @SilentHill You're right, that's definitely the same as Elder Scrolls, Starfield, Fallout, Doom, Dishonored, Wolfenstein, Call of Duty, Crash Bandicoot, Diablo, World of Warcraft(if they go console), Overwatch, Spyro.. Definitely the same scale of games there for sure 🤦

  • guscp10 gussyKB (@guscp10) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hey support I have had several problems with my overwatch account, the first is my log of hours and statistics are bugged, it does not show them as they should and the second is about the competitive one, there are already 4 times that it leaves me in gold.

  • RuneVALO Ruben (@RuneVALO) reported

    @Surefour In League you have a direct overview what your team is doing, you see what they see. In Overwatch you can only see stats which won’t always give away what your team is doing. I feel like adding a mini-map with your teammates on it could fix this partially

  • ShapeshifterHoe 𝕍𝕚𝕧𝕚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙚𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 | 🖤 (@ShapeshifterHoe) reported

    @NotUrSup I mean, yeah, is dead as hell- thats the sad part. Might move to overwatch when the issues with overwatch 2 are patched))

  • SFeasterville BucksCountyShrek (@SFeasterville) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch 3 will have 4 characters, and a million broken characters nobody likes. #BringBackOverwatch1

  • mercurytango playdough cookie🌈™🚷♍ (@mercurytango) reported

    I have to click through 5 error messages but I do get to play the new overwatch

  • KxngBeast13 Quise (@KxngBeast13) reported

    @BlizzardCS I'm banned a whole season on overwatch 2 because of your guys servers. Fix that. Ppl got bomb internet. Then yall ban the people like it's they fought they getting kicked out

  • Jecht Jecht (@Jecht) reported

    What makes the Lifeline toy even funnier is, they removed the shield like right after the toy release. Then 5 seasons later we have Newcastle that gets a similar shield ability. Overwatch is 10 times worse about this issue though. They reworked half the roaster before OW2.
