    t wifi and open overwatch again for it to not load so I restart my computer and open overwatch for it to still not load so I go into windows updates and turns out I have like 7 updates so I download 4 updates and for the other 3 it says error im guessing it's because I didn't res

  • its_turnip_soup Big Yase (@its_turnip_soup) reported

    @ertrick36 @xaviersonline I have no idea how people fall into addiction of live service games that only retain relevance because they’re on a constant drip of content from a reluctant dev team. Modern live service games make me sick (apart from Overwatch ily)

  • SparrowSucz Sparrow (@SparrowSucz) reported

    love it when I'm opening overwatch and signing in my account and then it says connecting and im staring at my screen waiting for it to connect and it's still not working so I restart overwatch do the same thing and it still says connecting and doesn't load so I swap to a differen

    @lovetodeath666 @PlayOverwatch Actually, i remember like fixing overwatch league skins drop problem (which i was a part of like i wanted so bad that classy white gloves on kiriko skin) that took like a month to fix.... So idk honestly if they will manage to something just for such a unlucky ****** like me

    @BlizzardCSEU_ES fix the matchmaking or @OverwatchES is dead.

  • _primey Brian (@_primey) reported

    Why does Blizzard Support need a screenshot of HWMonitor when Overwatch 2 crashes. That's not going to show anything important relating to my type of crash. Idiots

    @BlizzardCSEU_ES fix the matchmaking or Overwatch is dead.

  • gembears Gemma Rahmatallah (@gembears) reported

    how is overwatch gonna crash on itself and then suspend me like IM NOT THE PROBLEM

  • merleia Piña Col-ada 🍍🥥 (@merleia) reported

    Having some issues with my d key. Mainly noticeable during Overwatch causing me issues with dodging/strafing. If I take the keycap off (I did to clean, in case it was that) it works fine. As soon as I put the cap back... ugh...

  • angryuniicorn Leah ✨ (@angryuniicorn) reported

    It’s a huge issue that the wider Overwatch community doesn’t seem to care to do anything about. Even when people say “I feel bad for Mercy mains, they get **** on so much.” They still won’t come to our defense when people are being ******** solely because we play Mercy.

  • iamabuilding474 A-TRAIN (@iamabuilding474) reported

    @operagxofficial why ******** can I not play overwatch dating sim on your browser? Fix this immediately please!

  • _primey Brian (@_primey) reported

    My Overwatch 2 crashing issue is back. Sigh

  • sn4rb Snarb (@sn4rb) reported

    The implementation of the Overwatch tank nerfs is hilariously bad. Why does it not scale with the number of tanks in play? It just forces you to stack tanks when you might want to run a traditional single tank comp in open queue modes, which makes the tank stacking problem worse

  • m8rcymain Jasper !! owtwt /// Im gay ?!?!? (@m8rcymain) reported

    no wifi = no overwatch = heart broken

  • darklillies_ Lillies (@darklillies_) reported

    First you, you refuse to transfer or solve my issue of giving me back all of my skins that I played hours on your game to obtain, and now gaslighting me OUT OF $10??? You already stole about 44 skins from me, most of them now worth $1500 Overwatch Coins = $66,000 USD Dlls.

  • Kokichi_of_Lies King_Fisher (@Kokichi_of_Lies) reported

    @jamesperrott1 @PlayOverwatch If Blizzard can make most of the Wow Players play as the Horde instead of Alliance, then I'm sure as hell they can make Overwatch a money pot with a broken ranked system and unbalanced characters. Oh, wait... They did 😐

  • HeyImVictor Victor (@HeyImVictor) reported

    @PlayOverwatch can we fix the sensitivity issue please? I thought it would’ve been fixed by now… #Overwatch #Overwatch2

  • HelloAmKris ThatWhiteGuy (@HelloAmKris) reported

    @BlizzardCS I need help regarding an issue with overwatch account merging, lost several thousand dollars worth of cosmetics. Urgency would be appreciated.

  • SupineFPS Supine (@SupineFPS) reported

    @OW_SVB Issue is, overwatch 2 took so long to one out, I didn’t put the time to rank up in overwatch 1 because I was waiting for the second game, never took the first one seriously. In overwatch two I started blaming myself for every loss even if it wasn’t my fault, just so I improved.

  • Toppo2099 apocalypse1280 (@Toppo2099) reported

    @MissMANIA30 LMAO! That's a good one. Overwatch 2 doesn't have a problem. Like it's ridiculous. It's always hot or miss with Switch lol, but the game was perfect the past few months. Just annoying.

  • superbondez superbondez (@superbondez) reported

    @OW_SVB This was a problem since overwatch started. Do we not remember everyone calling people who climbed boosted? This is not new.

  • Madyelizaa マディ🦋 (@Madyelizaa) reported

    This is the prophecy foretold, Me getting banned from season 3 of overwatch for being ddos’d multiple times in a row

  • Mixer_Kraken Mixer (@Mixer_Kraken) reported

    Hmm... Do I grind out my main and ditch streaming Overwatch until I can fix my issues in OBS? Or do I say "I played nearly 20 hours of Overwatch this week between Comp and Scrims alone (including Queues), let me play another RPG for a bit on Stream."

  • ZeusKiller13 Chase (@ZeusKiller13) reported

    I hate the Overwatch 2 matchmaking system so much. Get rolled one game, then stomp the next game, makes no sense at all. Fix this @PlayOverwatch

  • CharltonN2 Charlton! (@CharltonN2) reported

    @animegirlcaesar @EuphoriTori Every day I’m glad I turned voice chat off when I started Overwatch lol. Someone could be yelling at me but that’s their issue not mine.

  • josenuevomusic José Nuevo (@josenuevomusic) reported

    Gotta try the S-tier characters in Overwatch 2 I knew Kiriko Was fuckimg broken!

  • AccurstMaiden Valeria (@AccurstMaiden) reported

    @Requis_Johnson4 @FalKoopa_ That is not the point The problem is that hes going on making exaggerated jokes that every game is bad because twitter said so, and how hes getting "cancelled" Rather than researching the vastly different reasons why people don't like harry pooter and overwatch

  • Exec_Rig_Veda_ 200% Rising (@Exec_Rig_Veda_) reported

    @ElHefeonTwitch @Haipa_Sonikku @fightstickart Thats a lie and you know it, csgo plays extremely diferent to overwatch or cod, and the skill gap is still the same issue as in fighting games or mobas. You either find it fun or dont. Just say "i dont like mobas/fighting games" you dont have to come up with a nonsensical reason.

  • wahMarsh Marsh (@wahMarsh) reported

    @TimeGear_ Wasn’t the point that people pick and choose which controversy they want to make a big deal about? Like he mentions overwatch 2 which didn’t have basically any controversy when it released despite the issues actually being with the devs and not just one person who’s the creator

  • Magma10698223 Zumorito (@Magma10698223) reported

    @aaronkellerOW @PlayOverwatch I will only play Overwatch again when the matchmaking fix update will come, because thanks to this problem I could land again aud Platinum, and that although I had to fight my way up so high. #Overwatch #Overwatch2
