  • Zeebor15 Zeebor15 (@Zeebor15) reported

    @EmbracerInvest @FreddInvest That was a trainwreck? I was kinda distracted by the trainwreck that was Overwatch 2 to notice. Maybe everyone else was and THQ can fix it quite like before anyone notices.

  • TheIronArmenian TheIronArmenian (@TheIronArmenian) reported

    I’ve been wanting to try out OverWatch 2 for a week but have been unable to login to the Blizzard launcher. I keept on getting a generic error code. In the end I figured out that I couldn't log in because I never set my DOB in the account. Would have been nice if it told me.

  • RisingBlur ᏒᎥᏕᎥᏁᎶᏰᏝᏬᏒ (commissions OPEN) (@RisingBlur) reported

    Ok scratch that, Splatoon 3 has some problems that are soooo much worse than anything in Overwatch 2 it‘s not even funny anymore The fact that there STILL aren’t any servers, while you have to pay monthly to even play it online is a ******* joke

  • middleagedrage1 middleagedrage (@middleagedrage1) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Its the only thing people can do if they want an overwatch fix. People still can't log in not heard much about you fixing it either.

  • WillJFreeman Will has had it (@WillJFreeman) reported

    I know overwatch 2 has problems but all I can say is I actually enjoying playing the game again and that seems like a W to me

  • SliverStarVT 🐤Sliver Star🌟 (@SliverStarVT) reported

    I forgot to uninstall Overwatch 2 after playing that one game. I solved that problem, don't worry.

  • Possiblekim TarzanEng (@Possiblekim) reported

    @MischiefsYT YOU should try Glitch Tech, one of the episode does mimic Overwatch.

  • MartijnKreemers Radboy Genius (Looking 4 work) (@MartijnKreemers) reported

    i don't get the overwatch developpers wanted to kill the shield meta so bad they took away a tank from the team composition????? Like when has that ever been a problem?

  • hxrrywxlsh haribo (@hxrrywxlsh) reported

    Really been enjoying Overwatch 2 after finally getting to play this weekend after all the bugs and merger issues, but playing felt like when OW was in its prime

  • wazowskipop wazowski (@wazowskipop) reported

    @PlayOverwatch fix this game ffs I can’t get past 36 wins I win games back to back and it won’t go past 36 I’ve played 60 it won’t go past 60 if I win but when I lose it will go to 61 so my wins aren’t counting! #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • Starkiller14J Jagdeishwar Magendran (@Starkiller14J) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I have a match making problem. I only started Overwatch 2 and i always end up in games that has already progressed halfway. I just entered the game 5 seconds ago and it says defeat. What the hell ?

  • Marcel38377125 Marcel (@Marcel38377125) reported

    @Cokeadddict @OW_SVB “the issue is for new players” new players literally have no issue. They got the game for free. Owners of original overwatch can’t play what they paid for and lost access to the ability to earn skins despite paying exactly for that. New players only received and old players didnt

  • dylapiper_arts Dylan (@dylapiper_arts) reported

    There is a glitch on Overwatch 2 were you get disconnected from the server if you get an achievement

  • GayOliveGarden Olive, Queer of the Full Moon (🌳)(🔥)(💧) (@GayOliveGarden) reported

    my biggest issue with Overwatch 2 is a few of the DPS ults are way too free; Soldier, reaper and junk can end fights so easily without really any way to mitigate now that there is one less tank and no cc

  • SpineAhamkara AhamkaraSpine (@SpineAhamkara) reported

    @leaky_dot I’ve played it, I think its ok. The gameplay pretty much just feels like overwatch 1. I think there are some balancing issues and some bugs. I think my biggest thing I don’t like is how the microtransactions are like and the battle pass and grinding currency.

  • frant1k_ Frant1k (@frant1k_) reported

    I haven’t had any problems trying to load in Overwatch 2 in days, I think we good now.

  • r0stat Toast (@r0stat) reported

    @OW_SVB @KibotaSegundo i think overwatch actually got around those laws if im not mistaken (by the nature of how to loot boxes work), the whole BP and shop system is just for monetization to afford a live service game cause giving stuff away for free wouldn't be too smart now that the game is free.

  • BFTTtherapper adam forster (@BFTTtherapper) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch 2 is making a nice screen saver on my playstation. So I'm wondering, how much longer will the SMS problem be up for new players ( all 70 million of us ) will I be able to actually play the game and give you money by this year/decade

  • Rathbaume Rathbaume (@Rathbaume) reported

    What @aaronkellerOW and the overwatch team have done is close to theft...we paid 60 bucks for the ability to earn skins and now that ability has been taken away from us...and we cant go back to OW1 because they killed it... FIX your messed-up corporate-first cosmetic economy!

  • nocondeeznuts ⚖️noctu🌠 waiting for layla... (@nocondeeznuts) reported

  • malachy_collins Malachy Collins (@malachy_collins) reported

  • steezyyts Treyvius Smith (@steezyyts) reported

    So you get an achievement on overwatch 2 on Xbox and you get kicked out? This is the second time this has happened to me on ranked. Please fix this because I do not want to be permanently banned

  • rpaulseymour rps (@rpaulseymour) reported

    @BlizzardCS @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch Requested country change to edit my phone, because NOT a previous Overwatch player. All your support did was cut and paste same info everyone knows how some people do not have to SMS login (not me). How to get your support to do their job?

  • its_iron_time enji/pepsi/peepis (@its_iron_time) reported

  • BradshawJack Jack (adopted boat asian) Bradshaw (@BradshawJack) reported

    @LegacyKillaHD CoD has a horrible cheating problem so this isn’t a surprise they did it for Overwatch.

  • ningeju Just you (@ningeju) reported

    @BlizzardCS I have issue about competitive on Overwatch 2, My rank dont going up after i win 7 times from bronze 5, and still bronze 5.... Please fix this 😩😩

  • Yorishiriamori Yori (@Yorishiriamori) reported

    @FroggerOW I dont see why everyone is having a problem with sombra now that she actually lets you play the game. Her ult in overwatch 1 was like "having fun? What about you stop doing that?"
