  • AriOfAbyss Ari Ballistic (@AriOfAbyss) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ My biggest issue right now is the fact that people are treating the game as if it's a completely different way of playing OverWatch. It's the same thing, just a bit more deathmatchy and a little less counterpicking and is a bit more loose when it comes to requiring teamwork

  • Win98Tech Stadia Tech Support (@Win98Tech) reported

    If you log into Overwatch 2 and something wacky happens like your unlocks disappear or you accidentally buy an item because the chat windo is broken you absolutely deserve that for playing Overwatch 2 and i have no sympathy

  • AnthonyFountis MDRAnthonyGR (@AnthonyFountis) reported

    @FortniteGame better fix the perfomance issues and stabilize the game cuz I might completely transition to Overwatch 2.The game is that fun.

  • joesowild Joe (@joesowild) reported

    @JustinWhang overwatch has been mid since it came out and there's a bunch of issues with the new one rn on top of it being really casual friendly and dumb, so no lol

  • RockLeeSmile Nick Reineke (@RockLeeSmile) reported

    Not nearly enough has been done to communicate that Overwatch 2 was released into Early Access and is very much unfinished. Outside all the connectivity issues and egregious monetization there's a lot that needs addressing. We're still in early beta.

  • RavenBakken Raven Bakken (@RavenBakken) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I really like playing Overwatch before I go into work, it’s become a part of my morning routine..when it doesn’t work like it’s not working right now it kinda ruins my day. Y’all have had so much time to fix this..

  • 06Jackh jackh.06 (@06Jackh) reported

  • coreo_is_here Coreo (@coreo_is_here) reported

    i just got out of bed and turned on overwatch. this might be a problem

  • SaviorAcidic Acidic Savior (@SaviorAcidic) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ I wouldn't call it good. The lack of stuns makes Genji and Tracer absolutely broken and obnoxious. The speed bonus on elimination makes Reaper's ult stupid. Granted it's balance issue but the game is literally Overwatch 1. Nothing new about it.

  • XBorros Xenno Borros (@XBorros) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent I've never Uninstalled a game as fast as I did Overwatch 2, telling your players that giving their phone number is optional, and then having a second required login WHERE IT IS NOT OPTIONAL is bullshit and unacceptable, wtf

  • i5landreams95 Michael Akana (@i5landreams95) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Hey overwatch staff i know the downtime last night was to address the Connection problems. But i got on after work this morning and im getting the CL 208 error. Any help?

  • mfpow1 mfpow1 (@mfpow1) reported

  • 4Aftertone ♪ Aftertone ✨ (@4Aftertone) reported

    @saya02435 i heard theres a dangerous error in overwatch 2 that can reveal your private information. Please be careful!

  • wozzmatic Wozzmatic (@wozzmatic) reported

    @OutlawScottyTV @PlayOverwatch The MMR ranks you based on individual performance in game and not on wins. 3rd party sites used to help like masteroverwatch but that’s dead. Overwatch tracker also not working yet. My advice - pick a role, learn what the measures are for it (there are lots in OW) - work on those

  • yuradeputa yura 🌱 (@yuradeputa) reported
