  • xFullMetalRagex ᚠᚢᛚᛚᛗᛖᛏᚨᛚᚱᚨᚷᛖ (@xFullMetalRagex) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent bit cheeky putting out the Next gen upgrade for overwatch and calling it overwatch 2. Wheres the story mode? It's also just as broken as ever not surprisingly...shouldn't be forced to play with other platforms either...

  • DirtReginald ReginaldDirtGoblin (@DirtReginald) reported

    @infrarogue89 Eh idk these all seem like soulless cash grabs. Overwatch is the most overrated game I've ever seen, Diablo 3 took them what, 12 years or some **** and instead of building off that they just make a new one. COD just sucks **** and Crash may be good, I hope it is at least.

  • xcxrse_ Curse (@xcxrse_) reported

    2/3 I was confused because an update was rolled out that overwatch 1 players didn't have to do SMS, but regardless it was a screen I couldn't bypass so I linked it. Then, everything was gone. All my skins, heroes, icons, everything. I tried looking everything for a fix but

  • LENINMEISTER Daniel (@LENINMEISTER) reported

    @MrBaee overwatch is sadly a bit of a joke, couldve been much better, ubi might have issues but at least they put effort into balancing and updating the game, not to mention the gameplay is just more engaging imo

  • ChloInTheFlesh chloe (is a pumpkin) (@ChloInTheFlesh) reported

    bruh, the overwatch 2 bronze 5 glitch is hell. i am not as good as the people i keep getting matched against, why are we the same rank.

  • Rolandvz Roland Veasey (@Rolandvz) reported

  • inpartisicuru a scary ancient man (@inpartisicuru) reported

    i dont feel particularly tempted to ever look at overwatch again but even if it looked good i dont think i could ever derive as much pleasure from playing a game as watching blizz crash burning into a big pit of dynamite

  • xcxrse_ Curse (@xcxrse_) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch I am having a game breaking issue. To explain, I downloaded overwatch 2, merged my overwatch 1 account, and then played for a good 3 or so hours. Then, out of nowhere, the next time I try to log in and play, it says "SMS Protect Required." 1/3

  • Zax_An_Gd Zax An Gd (@Zax_An_Gd) reported

    @ATVI_AB @XboxSupport I have a problem when I play overwatch 2 on Xbox Series X because when I get the achievement while playing, it logs me out and it says "YOUR PROFILE HAS BEEN LOG OUT AND DISCONNECTED FROM SERVER"

  • Verlaxify Verlaxify (@Verlaxify) reported

  • TMitty3 T-Mitty 🔞 (@TMitty3) reported

    @BTSMaclvor @VantageFPS @milkjug23 The solution to yalls problem is to simply not play overwatch

  • GicecreamG Sean (@GicecreamG) reported

    Yknow I was so excited for overwatch 2, I think I was genuinely more excited than that of my irl friends. But between the extreme rubber banding I’m getting or not even being able to sign in. I’m genuinely defeated and it makes me depressed because all that excitement was wasted.

  • SenpaiiSoul Soul (@SenpaiiSoul) reported

    @BlizzardCS I lag out a ranked game in Overwatch 2 and wasn’t able to log in to Overwatch. It kept giving me an login error

  • Ethanjw244 E-J (@Ethanjw244) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @OverwatchEU @BlizzardCS I did not get all of my stats from overwatch 1. Everything went fine with the merge until today I turn it on and I only have 23 hours in total which I had 34 the other night. Fix this.

  • HughHale10 Moon wHale (@HughHale10) reported

    @RackhamRishel That Meta guy on youtube was just trying to make trouble but I did have to take a look at you and overwatch partners that FUDDER was just trying to street cred on you you should if you have a few minutes tell him to back off with the rumors!

  • Giocap23 G (@Giocap23) reported

    @BlizzardCS I still don’t have any of my characters from overwatch one unlocked even though I played since day 1. Is there any way to fix this?

  • hlennn raja badut 𓂺 (@hlennn) reported

    Why overwatch is a tough game is literally because players don’t know what their role do. You are a tank, STOP DIVING INTO 5 AND DIE. YOU HAVE 4 TOFU BEHIND PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THEM. Tank is literally the most important character in this game and they made tank broken af.
