    My problems with Overwatch 2 are as follows -ranked system, it sucks -the fact that comp is based off plat and not input, can't play comp with friends on other platforms -console comp diamond+ is full of mnk xim users

  • OleAasheim Ole (@OleAasheim) reported

    Now that people have tried him a bit, we can tell, Doomfist is even more broken than he has ever been. It's time for a nerf. #Overwatch

  • brutapologist abolition apologist (@brutapologist) reported

    When this website becomes non-functional because Elon had to sell the servers to service his debt, you can reach me on battle dot net for widow 1v1s in overwatch 2 if you wanna talk

  • elvenchevalier EC Orion (@elvenchevalier) reported

    @cinderash268 @nichegamer It just seems to me like it's the opposite of what Blizzard is doing with Overwatch; in the end, the issue of characters of certain demographics is still being used as a selling point. But I suppose it's probably not my place to comment on it lol

  • Termitis4 Termitis (@Termitis4) reported

    are we gonna talk about how the overwatch team is tryna add new characters before even fixing the main bugs and issues 😭😭😭

  • Ignis2reckless IgnisDPE (@Ignis2reckless) reported

    Lmao splatoon 3 has been out for 2 months and got loads of updates. But they still cant fix the damn communication issues trying to search for a game. I mean come on overwatch 2 kept us in q while being able to do other things.

  • gummybearzo kian 🎸 (@gummybearzo) reported

    are overwatch servers down rn? i go to queue for a game and it just takes me back to the title screen and says connection to the server lost and i cant tell if its my wifi being **** or the servers lmao

  • PuffoPufferfish 💙 Puffo 💙 (@PuffoPufferfish) reported

    @kaceymatthews_ overwatch tends to give me tummy issues too

  • LordOctopussy Lord ********* (@LordOctopussy) reported

    Overwatch has been really weird these last few days, always seem to have a server issue or my game just crashes for no reason

  • PizzaTheHut3 Deadlift Society (@PizzaTheHut3) reported

    @AngryJoeShow It's a solid game. Some folks had connection issues but many did not. It's not exactly complete, but at least it works... looking at you Overwatch 2.

  • Mid1472 Mid' (@Mid1472) reported

    @fixghostface @DeadByBHVR I think Behaviour is going to change this Overwatch problem, for sure !

  • DragonMommies 🔞Shira The Celestial Dragon ✨🐲 (@DragonMommies) reported

    @fayt_hart problem in the game where bungie isn't handling things very well. Oh well. I mean..Overwatch is similar but not nearly as bad, to be fair.

  • hs_doubbing Sidney Rutledge (@hs_doubbing) reported

    On the bright side, I suppose this means Sword Art Online will be unaffected by the ridiculously long login queue times we’ve seen with some recent releases like Overwatch 2.

  • Mizfitzer0 Mizfitzer0@gmail.com (@Mizfitzer0) reported

    I can’t play overwatch 2 cause of the sms prepaid phone thing even tho my phone isn’t prepaid. I wish y’all could fix this please! 😭 @Blizzard_Ent

  • candlenookco Jacob (@candlenookco) reported

    Was watching overwatch league and wasn’t getting any of the rewards then find out I wasted like 30+ hours of my life because they signed me out of my account twice great job blizzard fix your app

  • VOLTGON Volt (@VOLTGON) reported

    Is anyone having an issue on overwatch 2 where you’ve now got a second ‘current competitive season’ and now the game’s reset your ranks??

  • SeytonLastorick Nicholas Coletta (@SeytonLastorick) reported

    @cassiecatnip @dizzykitten7 My problem is they removed loot boxes. Some people don't want to blow their paychecks buying stuff for their favorite hero. I love Overwatch but not having loot boxes really makes me want to stop playing.

  • i4D_Cube Cube (not from fortnite) (@i4D_Cube) reported

    It just crossed my mind that overwatch can disable any hero they want bc enough people complain or find a glitch and if Lucio ever gets disabled I’m leaving everywhere

  • vaultthief sheep // I GOT A PUPPY (@vaultthief) reported

    did anyone’s overwatch glitch and give them a bunch of cp points? i feel like I cheated to get my gold weapons now lmfao. i got two for free.

  • RynnRynn__ Ryn Ryn (@RynnRynn__) reported

    @BlizzardCS I keep getting disconnected from the servers. I’ve restarted my pc, Overwatch, blizzard and my router. The game says I will get a penalty or something if I keep leaving early. The only issue is, is that I’m not leaving. How do I fix this?

  • CODCode904 Ricky MLG (@CODCode904) reported

    A entire month has gone by since the release of Overwatch 2, and by now I would think they would have fixed a lot of the major bugs. It just feels like an incomplete update that should have never came out until they figured out the fixes to the problems.

  • samuelrafuse Samuel Charles Rafuse (@samuelrafuse) reported from Abbotsford, British Columbia

    Can't believe I used to complain about any of the bugs or crashes or server problems of Overwatch 1, what a ******* joke, you can't even play Overwatch 2

  • TheDaddyDark Daddy Dark (@TheDaddyDark) reported

    @DeathFall101 @PlayOverwatch Honestly tho? Apex does cross platform ranked and it works fine, I don’t see what the problem is with doing overwatch the same way?

  • ThatStreamerGuy Guy (@ThatStreamerGuy) reported

    We ended up playing some Genshin Impact cause I was mad lagging in Overwatch 2

  • Gxd_is_dead Agent Orange (@Gxd_is_dead) reported

    Wild that Overwatch 2 has broken 3 characters already and it's been out for a month

  • TheSommerset Sommerset 🧡 (@TheSommerset) reported

    My pc is having issues downloading battlenet & overwatch? I keep getting this "windows cannot access the specified device, path or file..." anytime I try open the setup. Anyone know why?

  • MelodyHaren Melody Haren Anderson 🏳️‍🌈 🌹 (@MelodyHaren) reported

    @PixelScum And one of the villains WENT villain because it was pointed out how being a cop, then solider kicking over dictators, and top level member of Overwatch didn't fix ANYTHING. Just put more power into the hands of the rich and powerful... then joins a guy blaming omnics?

  • XE0PHILIAC Xeo (shitpost arc) (@XE0PHILIAC) reported

    wish my xbox wasn’t broken i miss playing overwatch 2

  • thrstyfox Thirsty-Fox (@thrstyfox) reported

    My problem with overwatch 1 and 2. Everyone thinks they can dps. And if they are under performing, its us supports who get blamed. So forgive me if I'm on support and end up burning out because I cannot do this **** in ow2 considering I did it for ow1. I'm not down to waste time.

  • 1way_Ban62 1way (@1way_Ban62) reported

    Playing overwatch 2 while waiting for COD to download, no wonder I have mental problems
