    Bro wtf are they doing to #Overwatch 2 are they taking the Modern Warfare 2 approach and just making everything broken? This game looks like it’s gonna be a disaster tbh

  • holymerines (@holymerines) reported

    I will gladly join overwatch again if they fix broken brig…

  • PonytailSkullie Kurry McFlurry (@PonytailSkullie) reported

    @justindaturner @PVPX_ @PlayOverwatch At least Apex can be enjoyed Overwatch literally just causes anger problems

  • ultraman_ginger Commander Shep (@ultraman_ginger) reported

    Overwatch players: Please, Blizzard, ban trolls and smurfs, and fix matchmaking, we beg you, or no-one will buy OW2 Blizzard devs: We gave Bastion a hat

  • SparksEchidna Sparks the Echidna - Jr Sol Knight (@SparksEchidna) reported

    @XenokoYT I know...I LOVED the original Overwatch and now I can't bare to play it anymore because of how ****** Activision/Blizzard are, Same goes with Crash

  • MatterPointless Pointless matter (@MatterPointless) reported

    I think bastion looks cool in overwatch 2. Still not gonna get the game because of the legal problems around activision blizzard

  • shecravesgore SATAN (@shecravesgore) reported

    bruh overwatch needs to fix whatever issue it has bc if it get banned from comp bc of another server connection issue imma be pissed

  • rhinosharkart Rhino Shark Studio (@rhinosharkart) reported

    @Space_Dragon14 @PlayOverwatch This game is set years in the future. Bastion is just supposed to stay broke and old looking for ever? Why wouldn’t overwatch fix him up?

  • Foxowne Kaz (@Foxowne) reported

    @PatStaresAt Didn't you whale on Overwatch though? Or does it being a live service game make it not count? Isn't Diablo 3 still getting live service though? Pat, wha-

  • itmegames mish (@itmegames) reported

    i mean i didn't have faith in it anyway, they fully broke overwatch 1 years ago ago so hard to think they can fix it... but it's a broader issue with hero shooters anyway, maybe it will balance out... i fully completely doubt it will

  • ShortSword Luke (@ShortSword) reported

    for the record i have like 5k hours in overwatch yes, i had a problem

  • KingstonBraeden ㄣ⃒ Kingston ㄣ⃒ (@KingstonBraeden) reported

    This new sombra is so ******* broken bro overwatch devs actually smoke crack bro i stg

  • CMooreCasts CMoore🇨🇦 (@CMooreCasts) reported

    I think Overwatch 2 should just have every hero just be super broken so no one can complain about not having a good hero

  • Martianhastoma1 Martianhastomakeacomback/read Onepiece (@Martianhastoma1) reported

    Bastion is too broken in Overwatch 2

  • kyuutsie 𝒌𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏 (@kyuutsie) reported

    @itsalastor @kittsundere This game ain't even out yet and it already looks more broken than original overwatch 😭😭😭😭💀💀💀

  • ZacWilkesJ Zac Wilkes (@ZacWilkesJ) reported

    Overwatch 2 pivoted to 5v5 because not enough players wanted to play Tank; the issue is that now Tank looks so bad in OW2 that I don’t want to play it (despite being a tank player). Meanwhile, I feel like players not wanting to play tank was a symptom of the game… 1/2

  • _NotTyrell NotTyrell (@_NotTyrell) reported

    @JJonass6 The problem is that the only thing I have in life is Overwatch. Theirs no one their for me, no one to cheer me on, no one to support me.

  • ow_tri tri (@ow_tri) reported

    @vix_OW i assume a beta is coming out feb for blizzcon so it won’t even be a problem but if not they should already have a solution like a separate client for pro overwatch

  • MegEtTonne MegEtTonne 🏳️‍🌈 (@MegEtTonne) reported

    @StrangelyEnt I'm still thoroughly confused about the whole Overwatch 2 thing in general, since it looks on the surface to just... be the same thing? I assume it's an issue of the original being limiting to work on or something? Destiny had that problem I believe.

  • homebrandcola Lt Cmdr Timmy (@homebrandcola) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    What is one of the problems in Overwatch? Damage creep. What are they doing for Overwatch 2? MOAR DAMAGE!! (Sombra + Bastian rework)

  • _Mnooper Mnooper (@_Mnooper) reported

    @corobonii @PlayOverwatch yeah i know i havent played overwatch in weeks because of it. but either way, im trying to say the devs are intentionally making every hero broken so they all balance each other out. i think the devs care, but literally everyone else in blizz doesnt.

  • Jecht Jecht (@Jecht) reported

    I get the point of Overwatch 2. You get to make major changes to the whole game and hopefully keep the same players. The problem is, the main game went through nonstop changes for its entire run. That makes this just feel like a big new patch. It's #MalibuStacy with a new hat.

  • arulert_ ¡ sergio ! 🍃 (@arulert_) reported

    I know they'll fix everything eventually once people start playing but this just isn't overwatch

  • seiuhh sei Ra (@seiuhh) reported

    @dtyt97 Apex and Valo and overwatch, types of games that would lag and piss me off so I don't even try it

  • Kawinn_Fyefur Q. (@Kawinn_Fyefur) reported

    @PlayOverwatch And just like that, Overwatch 2 is broken from the start👍🏼

  • SimmerZozo Simmer Z (@SimmerZozo) reported

    When I clean out my TS3+new pc. I only had Overwatch and nrass mod. I didn't re tweak my game by changing the new graphics card yet cause I was still trying to figure it out. It didn't lag at all. As long Overwatch mod is reseting stuck Sims cause of bad optimization, it's fine.

  • BlissfulMun ☆ annabelle ☆ (@BlissfulMun) reported

    More I see it, more I honestly think that Overwatch 2, is just a 60 dollar patch for issues in Overwatch 1.

  • bobcipher3 Bob Cipher 👑 (@bobcipher3) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Thats probably broken but WHEN IS OVERWATCH 2 COMING OUT

  • kuroviiii KuroViiii (@kuroviiii) reported

    I think what the Overwatch Developers are trying to do is make literally every character extremely broken instead of worrying about ultimate balance. who knows? #Overwatch

  • mgittens18 Rukario (@mgittens18) reported

    Sombra was already a problem in Overwatch 1. Now's she's going to be worst lmao
