  • rebelheartedfox Cody (@rebelheartedfox) reported

    @BlizzardCS And why are all my characters locked now? I owned Overwatch 1 twice on both accounts and somehow you merged them and locked my heroes. This is ridiculous. I've had nothing but problems and I won't be recommending this game to anyone until you fix it. It's a trash fire.

  • NyanCoder Paul (Sirpikaz) (@NyanCoder) reported

    Overwatch 2 today : no issues getting into servers, but sat in 3, 20+ minute queues to play no games. (role fill) A nap was much more productive after I gave up.

  • AwesomeForte Awesome Forte (@AwesomeForte) reported

    My battle pass hasn't worked yet, but everything else seemed fine, once I was finally able to get in the Overwatch 2 servers. ...but now I got the "most of the heroes are locked" glitch. We also can't say "**** it" and go play OW1. They're actively removing content from my game.

  • clark_does ClarkDoesYT (@clark_does) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Thats nice and all but can you attend to your game bug problem, for example the locked hero's even when you bought overwatch 1 beforehand and shity 50/50 vision in random games
