  • FluffyHedgey 🔞 Fluffy Hedgey 🔞 (PNG-TUBER) (@FluffyHedgey) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hey so with overwatch 2 me and ALOT of people have had an issue of low ping but really high packet loss specifically in ow2, apparantly its to do with the dodgy netcode you guys use, would it be possible to get an explanation, it makes the game nigh unplayable.

  • Vohris_GG Vohris (@Vohris_GG) reported

    People in ranked Overwatch 2 do not like me or my Lucio 19-6 with 8K heals, and I’m still the problem 💀

  • ryoukarma Ryoukarma (@ryoukarma) reported

  • tarotapioka ヒカリ🔞🌹 CF15 E20 @ ICE BSD (@tarotapioka) reported

    Can anyone help me?? I was playing overwatch and for some reason my game keeps on being "buggy". Idk if it's graphics card issue 😭

  • Esdain_ Esdain_ (@Esdain_) reported

    @DaveVepers I'm yet to bother..... enjoying my SteamDeck too much and Overwatch has shader leading issues on it

  • Charlieboy617 Charlieboy617 (@Charlieboy617) reported

    I find it funny how people who made videos on overwatch 2 all talk about the server issues like they were a permanent problem when most multiplayer games have that at launch especially free to play games. The issue was gone in less than a week lmao

  • outlawjustin420 Justin🎃 (@outlawjustin420) reported

    I don't get why I got banned on OverWatch appetitive I did nothing wrong and I did not even get an email is I've been banned since 2019 is there any way you can fix it @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch

  • _hypercolor the moon deceives (@_hypercolor) reported

    Sombra Nerfs from a Sombra main: #Overwatch #Overwatch2 #Sombra Sombra’s issue right now is that her hack has a low cooldown and it locks you out for close to two seconds and a damage boost. She can keep 2 but one has to go. But….

  • AwesomeHarx Mercury2k (@AwesomeHarx) reported

    Overwatch 2? More like we won't fix mercy or any of the other problems you told us 2. Also here's a battle pass xx

  • KingCarneyy BabyJesus (@KingCarneyy) reported

    @Jashin2k Literally been on Overwatch for past week cuz they refuse to fix these bugs

  • LuckiiTucky Tucky (@LuckiiTucky) reported

    kinda surprised that overwatch's solution to the bastion problem was to just, remove him completely? the bug seemed pretty easy to fix; its just if you press Q and LMB at the same time during ult. I can't imagine takes long to fix that, but maybe their killswitch is easier

  • ENVlll PAT (@ENVlll) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix ur game won 7 games in a row for 3rd time and still stuck at gold 4 every time I do my 7 wins with at least 30/40 kills a game 15k damage and around 12/15k bullets blocked as a tank and still stuck in gold 4 wtf is this bullshit fix overwatch 2 ranked

  • MrMesh13 MrMeth (Birthday today🎂🔥) (@MrMesh13) reported

  • katanire (@katanire) reported

    overwatch is the reason i have anger issues

  • TinfoilDurag Tinfoil Durag (@TinfoilDurag) reported

    @bdaso80 @Jtran224 @Arikadou The problem is halo infinite is the only game that does that and we're talking about overwatch.

  • dramalama190 dramalama19 (@dramalama190) reported

    Sorry guys for the stream having issues with the internet for some reason I guess I'm just to good at overwatch lol I'll see y'all tonight hopefully

  • VoidableMouse x Voidable x (@VoidableMouse) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS @Blizzard_ANZ overwatch 2 needs to be fix now not in December. My mates keep on getting disconnected with a stable internet connection and are about be completely banned and it’s ruining my game experience this shouldn’t even be a thing that’s happening

  • firerwolf Firerwolf (@firerwolf) reported

    My problem with Overwatch 2 is that it still has the problem of the original. It gets repetitive pretty quickly. Arcade should be able to eliminate that issue but with no limitations on characters arcade is just not fun so unranked is the only option. Which is repetitive

  • kajmelo kaj (@kajmelo) reported

    @MrMooseVA i think the problem is neither valorant nor overwatch players know how to play the other game well at all

  • cqnrad connie (@cqnrad) reported

    @theMoneyFolder positioning in tac shooters isnt "harder" it's just punished much easier. if you're out of position in overwatch your character probably has an ability to get yourself out of trouble or can just run away bc of higher ttk, in val you'd just simply get one tapped and die

  • rohnan01 Rohnan (@rohnan01) reported

    Making Mcree's flash into a better Tracer pulse bomb is probably the only issue I have with current Overwatch, that and all junkrat and genji players Here's an idea, make tracers pulse bomb do more damage, and have the heat sinking feature mcrees has!

  • GR1323587357 GR=13 (@GR1323587357) reported

    @BlizzardCS The sever attacks got me banned from competitive play, overwatch is punishing me because the game wasn’t ready to play yet. Error Lc shutdown my game mid match, for an issue completely out of my control I should not banned for the rest of season 1.

  • airrodgers90 lawrence plaza (@airrodgers90) reported

    @conthecatch_ @bonniequeue Let's not pretend valorant doesn't have a garbage community and a garbage game. It's literally a worse counterstrike with overwatch like abilities. They can't even make a good ranked system. Amongst many other glaring issues.

  • RVYUYUWANPI ニャン兵衛 (@RVYUYUWANPI) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Please do something about Overwatch's server error, I can't play a decent rival match

  • SkyeTheNeko EMGG SkyeTheNeko (@SkyeTheNeko) reported

    @RiowenPoulain @DanielFenner But that is not Blizzard's problem to fix players skill by nerfing a hero. A nerf has to backed up with a good enough reason saying because players can't play against a hero is not good enough it just isn't in a game like Overwatch

  • BeamEmDown cal (@BeamEmDown) reported

    @Schoolyy @RogueCompany @TheWalkingDead Not currently but they have and quickly respond to community concerns consistently for the likes of apex and overwatch, how long have big issues stayed in this game, 6 months? That's happened multiple times

  • Xenosyte 👽Xenosyte👽💉💉💉 (@Xenosyte) reported

    My overwatch 2 comp rank experience: Initially placed bronze 5 (7-3. Feels a lil harsh but okay), went up to bronze 3 after 7 wins, then got demoted? after winning 7 more to bronze 4, and now after 14 wins -- still in bronze 4. This actually feels broken. Blizzard please explain

  • GroovyBooze Asystole (@GroovyBooze) reported

    Nvm overwatch can wait, I need to fix this stupid internet first.

  • jvckk jvckk (@jvckk) reported
