    When people say, Overwatch 2 is the same game? You really haven’t played it enough. Its further from the original its fast paced, and much harder to play. Also still ridiculously riddled with issues.

  • DualshockDreams Dualshocks and Daydreams 🎃 (@DualshockDreams) reported

    Currently doing a little writing and video work on something Overwatch 2 related. I'd like to note I think the game plays well, didn't seem janky, and I personally didn't have many server problems. But my lord, setting up a Battlenet account? Well, you'll see. #Overwatch2

  • KKnowsG Mike Oxlong (@KKnowsG) reported

    Bastion is ******* broken. Lol. #overwatch

  • cameronluce_ Cameron Luce (@cameronluce_) reported

    @LilThiccin @NoContextBrits @LilThiccin keeps posting about overwatch but isn't overwatching his lack of game. skill issue.

  • newquestion15 newquestion's dump (@newquestion15) reported

    since i can't play overwatch 2 on EITHER of my PCs (they're both dual core cpus and OW2 hates dual cores for some unspecified reason, a problem completely absent on OW1), I will have no choice but to play OW2 either on my switch or on my ps4 i have even worse aim there

  • alBallista |🏳️‍⚧️| Skyla~ ❤️ (@alBallista) reported

    I dont hate overwatch 2. The game isn't perfect, but nobody can expect it to be so. The real problem is Activision blizzard, and the only solution to that is the deal with Microsoft to go through. Let's just hope it doesn't die in 4 months like halo because it's really fun

  • thetan00kii TaSpooki 🎃🇧🇪 FACTS Ghent soon! (@thetan00kii) reported

    I'm sorry but Orisa is just broken in Overwatch 2

  • Nicholas_UWS Nicholas (@Nicholas_UWS) reported

    Hey @BlizzardCS do you think you guys could help me troubleshoot something in overwatch two? I’ve noticed that intermittently, I’ll tend to get a lag spike where all the heroes speed around the map for a few seconds and then it fixes itself.

  • Spdrt88 Spaghetti Pizza Does Random Things (@Spdrt88) reported

    The problem with shutting down overwatch servers was the physical copies of the game. I mean blizzard really?

  • PedroRavelli Pedro Ravelli (@PedroRavelli) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch how com every time I win seven games and get play of the game on all of them I have bronze 5 like fix the competitive system this is so frustrating

  • _xerv__ Xer (@_xerv__) reported

    @JoleTaris @odd_tones @DailyTF2Memes Overwatch may be kinda *** but Paladins ain’t much better either So many new champions and so many skins but balance and bug fixing is horrendous at times Hi Rez/Evilmojo may be arguably better but not my a whole lot, they want more money through cosmetics not fixing problems

  • hanako_kun_07 wholesome_hanako_07 (@hanako_kun_07) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I claimed the Kiriko skin on Twitch but it isn’t appearing on my Overwatch account, please fix this :(

  • LUCHTLOPER69 Darth Dumbass (@LUCHTLOPER69) reported

    Tried #Overwatch2. It’s more like a chapter update than a full fledged sequel. Also for some reason it runs horrid on my PC. Never had that problem with Overwatch 1.

  • E1M1_SW ricardo #OhioWalnutsSweep (@E1M1_SW) reported

    i made an insane discovery that halo infinite and overwatch 2 are litteraly the exact same game when it comes to their problems

  • scoutingtheport bri 🦇 (@scoutingtheport) reported

    got kicked from an overwatch 2 comp match bc i kept lagging and now i’m suspended for like ten minutes wtf

  • hanako_kun_07 wholesome_hanako_07 (@hanako_kun_07) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I claimed the Kiriko voice line and skin on Twitch but it isn’t appearing on my Overwatch account, please fix this :(

  • EmeraldJirachi Jirachi, Wish Maker (@EmeraldJirachi) reported

    Day 5 of not being able of login to overwatch 2 with the account that bought the game due to an error that half the population is having man i love this company

  • six_cyx Cyx (@six_cyx) reported

    Please don't fix the ragdolls in Overwatch 2, they're too funny

  • danraincoat raincoat (@danraincoat) reported

    if anyone else keeps getting a "rendering device lost" error on overwatch 2 i fixed it by installing 2 year old gpu drivers

  • ningen944 DvB (@ningen944) reported

    Comp on overwatch is so much fun when ur screen is blurry af and u can barely see and then when ur team tells u to restart the game it just gives u the LC-208 error good game man

  • Nicholas_UWS Nicholas (@Nicholas_UWS) reported

    I’ve never really had much an issue in lagging before, overwatch 2 is the first game where it’s really become apparent. I’m wondering if that’s because it’s just that the game is taking more to load and my ( wired ) connection can’t handle it, or if it’s a setting I’m running.

  • Zelse007 Zelse (@Zelse007) reported

    I said it years ago and I'll say it again, Dva is a problem in Overwatch.

  • X3n0verse_ Xenoverse | 🔞Catboy Vtuber (@X3n0verse_) reported

    I forgot how easy it was for other players to mald in Overwatch, especially in casual. Like dude, what's the issue here? If they wanna cry, it's prefered to cry in ranked where there's at least SOME digital calue lost or gained based on performance.

  • Mellowzac zacdupreez17@gmail.com (@Mellowzac) reported

  • NFiely Morale (@NFiely) reported

    There are so many glairing issues with the @PlayOverwatch UI. Its a straight-up regression from what overwatch 1 had. So many features that were there and just.. arent now. Many more features that should be there and just arent.

  • Kalerath Palerath 🧟 (@Kalerath) reported

    "I'm just gonna fix a couple of things on my overlay before streaming some Overwatch 2." Now, 1.5 hours later I'm in the middle of a complete refactor of everything I've done to my UI ever. Priorities.

  • mr_solis_tweets Mr Solis (@mr_solis_tweets) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @BlizzardCS #OW2 I love the latest update that was meant to fix things. I can't play the game without it crashing to desktop constantly, so therefore I don't play the game anymore. Problem fixed. Acknowledge the problem before it becomes a bigger problem. #Overwatch
