    Fix your game overwatch, Zaria needs to be removed, if you can’t create something and have it be playable then maybe learn to withhold game releases. #Overwatch2

  • waifudvaa jas (@waifudvaa) reported

    somehow managed to fix the LC-208 error on xbox by using remote play on my phone on the xbox app & launching overwatch. that’s crazy lmao

  • lizavensara Liz Avensara (@lizavensara) reported

    @PlayOverwatch If you're a "live service" now, surely you can add a skin voucher to the game to be redeemed for any non-BP skin instead of throwing a skin at us that the majority of the playerbase won't use? #Overwatch, you used to be cool, man.

  • Ladyaceina Ladyaceina (@Ladyaceina) reported

    @Rayku_Fenrir @KeyToAeris @FFVII_FS_EN yes and look how many 100s of live service games flop every year the avengers flopped the live service scam model is a flooded market with no room for new games overwatch 2 i by the way is the fate of all future live service games

  • TotalNacho6 TN (@TotalNacho6) reported

    Playing Ana->**** at aiming+Keep dying to Tracer->Switch to Zen to solve problem->Reverse sweep(11m vs 114m to 115m vs 114m)->Win->Getting blame for keep dying to tracer What ******** am I suppose to do? These ******** only know how to blame other players. #Overwatch

  • kxyagami kim. (@kxyagami) reported

    @BlizzardCS I‘ve got too many competitive points in Overwatch 2 (I should only have 3k points but I have 26k) and I‘m not earning points after a win. Is this a known issue?

  • elunaeri ann ♡ (@elunaeri) reported

    SOO! to everyone that plays overwatch 2, - i have a question. is it just me, or does the balancing of the game feels kinda off? as if there is WAY too much damage, tanks are fkn broken (yeah, i'm looking at you zarya!) and it just feels way faster than it usually did?

  • daring_onion Mercy’s Biggest Opp. (@daring_onion) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ mediocre? unironically the best version of overwatch to ever exist and it’s NOT close. the only issues are lack of polish and balancewhich are VERY fixable especially with the switch to live service.

  • TotalNacho6 TN (@TotalNacho6) reported

    If a friend who has been recorded on the first page of the Top 500 leaderboard says, “This is not your place(Sliver 1). You are much better than this.” That's a real problem. #Overwatch

  • kenny58936353 I’m a guy (@kenny58936353) reported

    @Bolverk15 That is the same thing up there he likes to play overwatch but he hates the company I don’t see the problem here

  • TheMalcolmX6 Malcolm Young (@TheMalcolmX6) reported

    @FlexChupacabra Lol I figured out what to do for Overwatch, it was pain but I got it lol But now I don't wanna play Knockout City cuz of the same thing 😒 and there's no info I can find that solves my problem

  • fluffy_jacqui Fluffy Jacqui - PNGTUBER (@fluffy_jacqui) reported

    Overwatch still has the obvious smurf problem it's always had that made me quit years ago and Blizzard does nothing to do about it, and obviously it pisses me off to no end.

  • JayGuardss Jay (@JayGuardss) reported

  • LegendaryfireYT Michael Jutton (@LegendaryfireYT) reported

    Does anyone know how to fix the LC-208 error on Overwatch 2 I’ve been trying to play it on my ps5 but no luck anyone have a fix for this? @PlayOverwatch

  • xBADxJustice (SGF)xBADxJustice (@xBADxJustice) reported

    35 dollars for a legendary skin in ow2!! The paid cosmetic service is not gonna be okay. Overwatch 1 the loot boxes were controversial for sure but at least you could get everything in game without spending a dime. #overwatch2 #ow2 #OverwatchMicromania

  • DeMomcalypse deMom.TV #BLM 💜🍅🔞 🏳️‍⚧️ (@DeMomcalypse) reported

    Overwatch 1 having the issue where not forking over any money means grinding matches for hundreds of hours to get loot boxes via leveling, which arbitrarily got exponentially harder to do on higher levels and this increased the fomo in non-paying players with no cosmetics

  • soragatari_ sora. (@soragatari_) reported

    @ikudere what were the problems even i didn’t keep up with overwatch metagame

  • Corgi_Cuteness Little corgi (@Corgi_Cuteness) reported

  • DaddyDimitrescu 𝔏𝔬𝔯𝔡 𝔇𝔦𝔪𝔦𝔱𝔯𝔢𝔰𝔠𝔲 (@DaddyDimitrescu) reported

    🩸I hate Overwatch 2. I get disconnected in the middle of comp game and then I get punished for it? They made sure the shop worked for them to get money but can't fix servers? I've played OW since 2016 so l understand what this game is capable of and this isn't it.

  • Jameshubbard24 James WOLF Hubbard (@Jameshubbard24) reported

    @AdamJMatlock No problem hopefully I’ll catch your next one. Overwatch 2 good? I’ve played the first one haven’t did the second.

  • UprightFool Ishar (@UprightFool) reported

  • dreddlightfull bi princex (@dreddlightfull) reported

    @IJellu Honestly same. Whether it’s intentional or not, I hope overwatch 2 fails. It deserves t. Honestly at this point the gaming industry is due for another crash with all the fuckery
