@ArthurWolfwing @OWAnonymous_ @PlayOverwatch Also, Kiriko is free who anyone was has Overwatch 1, so we don’t have a problem getting her. It will only be future heroes.

Overwatch 2 is free but people need to get a post-paid mobile number to play it??? You need to pay for a monthly phone service plan to play a free game??? Please tell me I'm wrong.

@ArchonOf When Activision Blizzard had a ******* Bill Cosby room and a fix for every controversy by releasing a shittier and shittier and shittier looking overwatch character in hopes you forget about it. Whatever ******** CDPR done is ****** pebbles compare to those boulders of bullshit.

@OWAnonPolls Funny thing is, CoD can do this and people still play it and only Complain about broken weapons. For Ow, you have a **** ton of ppl whining about a second Overwatch and that they change everything and blablabla...

@WerewolfMoms @Xbox Okay and? Call of Duty has what how many games the past 20 years? Overwatch 1 was a broke game so blizzard wanted to make another game to fix the problems.

Warzone, Dead by Daylight and Escape from Tarkov are all games that have some serious cheating issues. Is there any game that actually deals with cheaters successfully? Valorant or Overwatch?

@S3NT1N3L17 @FooVanCleef Yeah, its been a big problem for a good 7 years or so. If I remember correctly Overwatch even had to put out an official statement on it shortly after launch.

Blizzard was in dire straits and had a massive issue with workplace abuse, but then microsoft bought it and people are happily chattering away about overwatch 2, feeding money into diablo on iOS and playing Hearthstone's new expansion which is -based on courtroom drama9.

(@reiku1103) reported
@Viewtifulyoshi @PatStaresAt You don't switch smash characters mid match. This disrupts Overwatch's main system of swapping to adapt (Got a bastion giving you trouble, get a Genji in there. Widowmaker sniping the team, we need a Dva or Winston to chase her off...not unlocked yet...oh....*headshot*).

(@missedthelight) reported
i feel like the problem with the newer overwatch skins in the past two years or so is that a lot of them it can be hard to tell what character it is bc they don't maintain enough of the original character's design elements

(@brianduffytweet) reported
Overwatch has struggled with this conceit since the beginning. Even Apex Legends with its rich lore of “the games” still has the problem of “ok so technically every character except 3 was just killed” and not having an in-universe reason why it could then happen all over again

I'm so tired of stupid people on Overwatch being stupid and then blaming everyone else because they're too dumb to realize that maybe they're the problem 😒

@Jeverage If you have Overwatch already then this isn't an issue - people who have OW1 already get every hero except for the new ones you would buy, etc.

@PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS So, can we get information on whether or not nearly half a decade of money and time spent on Overwatch is going to be thrown away for people who do not go buy a "post-paid" cellular service plan??..

@BombosMedallion @Atma_Phoenix it is likely so people don't just play their overwatch 1 heroes at launch. altho there are better ways to solve that problem

@SBoy1102 I play 2k, fortnite (no building), and Cold War. Overwatch 2 I'm hyped for and MW2 if they fix a couple things could be great

(@r3v115) reported
@Px_ArMo @RaviSahye1 @PlayOverwatch It's in the Battle Pass though and that's the issue. If I had a friend who wanted to play as (insert hero) and they hop on Overwatch 2, they won't be able to play (insert hero) because regardless it's LOCKED behind a battle pass free tier or not.

@Vone909 @flintdawg8208 @PostUp_bbb Yeah, you’re right. Which worries me about Activision Blizzard. Xbox will be sitting on a goldmine of IPs but they’ll probably just rely on COD/Overwatch/Diablo/WoW/Candy Crush and let the rest of the dead IPs that Activision killed off (Tony Hawk/Crash/Spyro etc.) stay dead.

@mL7support I'm so happy about this. The amount of smurfs in Overwatch is crazy. Ppl really make smurf accounts just to troll and throw games in gold 💀 It's a problem in Apex too and every game, but I'm happy they're doing something about it.

@OW_SVB @DanielFenner Video games including overwatch are not jobs and should not feel like jobs. If you aren't having fun, get off and go outside. Its ok if you suck the entire time as long as youre having fun, and if anyone has a problem with that, call them bronze, because thats what they are.

(@LazyMunchlax) reported
@thotkitana @OWAnonymous_ “Apex doesn’t do that” but their heroes are still locked. You still have to grind the game to get the currency they use to unlock said hero. You’re literally doing the same for Overwatch 2 except it’s with a battle pass…. I don’t see what the problem is

@LanoomAES @Spideraxe30 The thing that killed overwatch was it’s lack of updates and new content. They’ve definitely addressed that issue. It can’t just be a charity game that costs nothing to the players, so they’ve found different avenues to make money.
