    @PlayOverwatch ARE YOU GOING TO FIX THE **** *** LAME TITS MATCHMAKING SYSTEM YOU HAVE IN OVERWATCH 2 STUPID NERDS? IF NOT, GIVE ME BACK MY MONEY, THIS **** ISN’T FUN PLAYING SOMETIMES

  • Ren_Heika Ren (@Ren_Heika) reported

    Hey @Blizzard_Ent how about you balance your game that's been broken for years before you make a sequel thats only purpose is to find more ways to squeeze money out of your customers? #overwatch #Overwatch2 #ActivisionBlizzard

  • DedroWasTaken Dedro (@DedroWasTaken) reported

    People do NOT wanna play this much Overwatch for, what most of the time, is a BROKEN, unbalanced character

  • plsesendhelpnow F̵̩̌ͪ̚y̖̮̬̲n̨͉̫͕̆͗̋̅͘n̬̝̞̜̔̍̀ (@plsesendhelpnow) reported

    @Torrix__ Damn that’s really sad, i still remember switzerland vs USA in overwatch world cup in 2018. and seeing how the state of esport around the world is now i‘d say we are not the only ones having such problems, the scene is dying.

  • MustExecute Must Execute (@MustExecute) reported

    Overwatch was honestly fun last night, but i still have the issue ot missing over 20 legendary skins on my account.... not counting epics, sprays or voice lines, not to mention I'm level 12.....

  • Iendryx Lendryx (@Iendryx) reported

    @Tra_Royal Cosmetics are optional. Heroes are the meat, and they should charge for the meat. Nobody who takes Overwatch seriously isn’t gonna think $10 every 3 months for a new hero is a lot. If someone is spending money on cosmetics over the Battle Pass, that’s a personal issue

  • ghdaaii 𝔤𝔥 (@ghdaaii) reported

    maybe overwatch 2 will fix me

  • KdramaRambles KDRAMA RAMBLES 🔮 (@KdramaRambles) reported

    @BlizzardCS My friend and I were going to play Overwatch w/ eachother but when we get on it says we don't have any friends in game?? is there a fix for this

  • lmlRodrigoX Rodrigo 🇲🇽🤠 (@lmlRodrigoX) reported

    @doamd83 @XboxGamerD @XcloudTimdog Yeah they will still enjoy it, but MS want GP to increase in sub numbers, imagine if they announce CoD, Diablo, Overwatch, Crash, Spyro, Tony Hawk, etc all day 1 at no extra cost? The sub count for GP would go from 25-30M to 50-65M in a couple of weeks if not hours

  • ThePackMack Pack_ (@ThePackMack) reported

    So new overwatch hero is cool The issue is shes literally IO from paladins with the fox thing being her main gimmick

  • Le_chauve_irl Le_Chauve (@Le_chauve_irl) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Marketing garbarge, a whole panel only to tell "look me made the game profitable", more recycled overwatch one content. I'm not mad at the people who worked on the maps, the 3d models, the devs... I'm mad at the people who thought the issue was the game not making enough money

  • PatrickDane Patrick Dane (@PatrickDane) reported

    @its_natclayton @appleciderwitch For sure but I think that uniqueness has broken the game at times too. We've seen bizarro metas, like goats, that break the game, and double shield metas grind competitive to a halt. I do wonder how much Overwatch 1 was a great idea, but not one that could exist well as service.

  • ST31NM4N Stein (@ST31NM4N) reported

    @Sapphire_Sally Only problem is, is no one is gonna play Overwatch lol. I mean..peoppe will play but with the **** Blizzard been going thru their playerbase is dwindling

  • itsLoweAgain Lowe (@itsLoweAgain) reported

    @schisam @PaladinsGame Sloooow doooown on champ releases and focus on QOL, Bug Fixes, adding old/broken features back (Play of the Game, Payload) and graphical updates. Overwatch 2 is a threat to Paladins NOT because of the number of playable characters, but because of everything else Paladins lacks.

  • makimostan Nova (@makimostan) reported

    New overwatch hero for ow2 boy oh boy she looks broken already

  • Roon_Moonlight Roon (@Roon_Moonlight) reported

    I have moved to Overwatch 2 because of Valve being lazy to fix their own game. I was waiting for new game which could replace Team Fortress 2. And now you didn't paid anything but only base game, and now you are not going to support blizzard.

  • Litwicked_ Xenace the Menace| 🎻👾 (@Litwicked_) reported

    I already play Overwatch too much (I have 19 golden guns and a gold two star account) but when #Overwatch2 comes out I will have no problem grinding battle passes instead of comp points for guns for heroes I don't even play.

  • MarsMews Emilia ✨ (@MarsMews) reported

    @BrightsideFPS that creates a bigger issue of accessibility and throws away why most people have even been playing OW for this long. if i saw this as a non-overwatch player i wouldn’t even bother trying to play it at any competitive level because it’s just gonna be a huge money and time sink

  • Emmett_OW2 Emmett (Average OW2 Mauga Enjoyer) (@Emmett_OW2) reported

    @EpicGamerMan247 @PlayOverwatch no they said u use ow credits to get the battle pass and other stuff in the store, and there's a battle pass 20 tier bonus for only 2,200 credits, and i don't see it a problem to me, the more i play Overwatch 2 the more i get more credits for more future season battle passes :))

  • JohnRobson18 John Robson (@JohnRobson18) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Delete phara please for the love of god. Broken. Overplayed hero with 0 skills base. Pharmacy has ruined overwatch for years

  • OranillaBean Gev (@OranillaBean) reported

    This either means you have to play the game and earn her or, regardless of how you buy her, cost $10. This goes for ALL new characters, and has been the standard for free-to-play competitive games for literal years, yet suddenly it's a problem because Overwatch is competitive?

  • GrantRous Grant Rousseau (@GrantRous) reported

    There are far too many competitive issues happening over the season. The spectator system isn't good enough either making it all so hard to watch. Viewership is not where it can be because organic watching growth of the game is tough. Getting an 'overwatch' sense from it all..

  • Rinxzie2 Chaox Rinxzie (@Rinxzie2) reported

    If Overwatch 2 genuinely kills the game, it won't be because of the lack of advertising or new pvp modes. It'll be because of high profile content creators and pros attempting to gas light us into believing we're the problem.

  • Plipster Plippy 🪐Spacial🪐 McGee (@Plipster) reported

    @Player2Joypad To avoid legal issues I think it’s just the OW2 characters. But it’s been vague. The more I hear the less interested I am in giving Overwatch another go.

  • lolztehtroll lolztehtroll (@lolztehtroll) reported

    Damn I cannot wait for the new support hero to be broken. Kindred r as a basic ability I just love overwatch game design

  • Sr_Enchilada Martín (@Sr_Enchilada) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hi, I have a problem with overwatch. I logged in into the game and all my cosmetic items and currency disappeared except for the stuff I got of the unopened boxes

  • WoahDrSayers Nick Sayers (@WoahDrSayers) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Why do none of my friends show up in game? Same for all of them too? Why is overwatch so broken lately?

  • Etrexum Etrexum (@Etrexum) reported

    Another Overwatch hero with a broken back.

  • Fizzor Austin (@Fizzor) reported

    My PC is so fk’d. Took a few hours to get to the windows screen. Loads up Overwatch, 10 min que, plays for 5 mins, pc crash. Stuck on the boot screen cycle starts over again.

  • TrianaOCE Triana (@TrianaOCE) reported

    Watched the entire Kiriko trailer thinking "wow, this looks SO much like Overwatch 2, how have they managed to make this game look and feel so much like Overwatch without getting in trouble over it?" before realising at the end that it *was* Overwatch 2 #TokyoGameShow2022 #XboxJP
