  • swiftandslick Giany (@swiftandslick) reported

    @Respawn @PlayApex fix audio + give us 120 fps + better servers + overwatch 2 is better

  • ShimaKazeVR ShimaYT (@ShimaKazeVR) reported

    overwatch 2 is pretty cool, shame they deem the "black screen" when tabbing out a "non priority" in terms of issues. super ******* annoying and wasn't present in the original

  • sterlinglioness 𝓐𝔂𝓪𝓷𝓸 𝓢𝓾𝓸𝓱 (@sterlinglioness) reported

    The issue from streaming last night wasn't from my end. Overwatch was just broke.

  • Mcdubbyz Mcdubbyz (@Mcdubbyz) reported

    Every Overwatch sequel is gonna have one less player per team until there aren't enough slots for all the problems they created and call it balanced.

  • HOAXUNCOVERED_ mayuminao Pre Debut (@HOAXUNCOVERED_) reported

    I’m gonna have a 3 AM stream! I don’t know when I’ll end it. Probably when I start to crash. I’ll start off by playing some overwatch!

  • nakkisfc Nakki (they/them) (@nakkisfc) reported

    @Gl_acial he's just one of a **** ton of content creators who made videos on the Activision Blizzard thing saying how terrible the company is for allowing all that to happen, and then immediately jumping on the Overwatch 2 bandwagon like nothing happened. don't have a problem otherwise tho

  • zengatsu__ Zen0 (@zengatsu__) reported

    @Algocchino minimal login overwatch

  • Matty_Wylde MattyWylde (@Matty_Wylde) reported

    @Aussie_BB There is a lot of talk about games (Activision with MW2 and Overwatch 2) requiring a phone number connected to a plan on a reputable service provider to verify your account. Will you be a part of this list of approved providers?

  • madsanchez09 Vacationing Labor (@madsanchez09) reported

    I hope they fix the skill ranking in Overwatch 2.0 some day

  • syioshio peach (@syioshio) reported

    overwatch LC-028 is back for me even after maintenance. @PlayOverwatch please fix your game.

  • megaroars Megaroars (@megaroars) reported

    Playing Overwatch has reminded me that I have rage issues when it comes to games like this, I always type GGWP in the end though because I know I'll get over my baby rage. Any who, people need to learn to play the objective in objective based games.

  • King_OCE Danny (@King_OCE) reported

    overwatch 2 is the most frustrating game I’ve played in years between flawed matchmaking, balance issues, bugs, and general player-base attitude dear lord it makes me want to go back to league

  • Rize_0202 ℝ𝕚𝕫𝕖 (@Rize_0202) reported

    How are the competitive pings atm? Still lagging or is it fixed? #Overwatch

  • Supertigerrr Supertiger (@Supertigerrr) reported

    @Kephrii I haven't done my own testing yet but looking at overwatch forums, seems like the issue is still not fixed :/

  • david_kennedy11 Deaf David (@david_kennedy11) reported

    I can play splatoon 3 no problem, but Overwatch???? felt unplayable on controller 😭😭😭

  • EwItsAngelina Angel (@EwItsAngelina) reported

    I’m about to get permanently banned on Overwatch 2 because every time I get an achievement on Xbox the game crashes and bans me from playing. Please fix this !!!! @BlizzardCS @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch

  • Lucky_Sheep_ DavidElSheep (@Lucky_Sheep_) reported

    I’ve noticed too. Every time I receive an achievement on the Xbox when playing overwatch I get a disconnect. It’s getting very annoying, please fix that @PlayOverwatch I’m not trying to get banned on competitive cuss your game disconnects me

  • CaroltheIntern The Intern🇺🇲🇵🇭🏳️‍⚧️🌐 (@CaroltheIntern) reported

  • Mcdubbyz Mcdubbyz (@Mcdubbyz) reported

    Blizzard gonna make every Overwatch sequel have one less slot per team until there's not enough room for all the problems they created and call it balanced.

  • loooser_sacv sacv⁷🎗⚢ (@loooser_sacv) reported

  • Redwolf10069 Coltontv (@Redwolf10069) reported

    Why does overwatch disconnect you after getting an achievement on Xbox?Then you get banned for a couple hours horrible. @BlizzardCS @Blizzard_Ent

  • projectkuromimi KuroMiimii ⋆。˚✩ ENVtuber (She/Her) (@projectkuromimi) reported

    Overwatch stream postponed to tomorrow! Having computer issues that I need to diagnose ;;

  • Legend_of_kyo The legend of Kyo (@Legend_of_kyo) reported

    @Xertiio @Mike84111672 @Jay3OW Like…IN A ROW??? I’m not the best at overwatch but like….82 in a row? 😭😭😭 definitely a skill issue

  • Baksteen_exe Morné (@Baksteen_exe) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I had Overwatch 1 and when I entered Overwatch 2 I didn’t get anything such as the new champions as was stated. So is this lies or is the game broken?

  • Comixfan Comi⊗fan (@Comixfan) reported

    @syrr3al @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch They had years to prepare for this launch. YEARS! And they STILL completely screwed of up! There are some who STILL cannot even login & we’re a week & a half after launch! They even broke things that worked fine in #Overwatch for years! It’s a joke!

  • The_FlumeAT The Flume Unplugged (@The_FlumeAT) reported

    @Masterlorddd I really do like the pay to play but no micro transactions model like Fall Guys had, the problem is that most online game back in the day were pay to play and filled with micro transactions like Overwatch 1 or Rocket League

  • tusenOW TusenTårer (@tusenOW) reported

    @ShyamOW @BlizzardCS There seems to be temperature issues. Is the same temp issues affecting SSDs too, possibly causing this issue? Overwatch doesn’t have elevated administrator permission so it shouldn’t be able to alter windows files, this is odd..

  • That_1_Guy_AG17 Goddess Rosana (@That_1_Guy_AG17) reported

    @stefayylmao1 It's not a glitch all emotes are still so when doing a floating emote it locks the animation in place it's intentional lol it's been like that since Overwatch 1

  • Devilsthedetail Maidenless Dylan, of Caria Manor (@Devilsthedetail) reported

    @mustardman66 @Dead_MK @GetQuakedOn not again 😭 OVERWATCH YOU DONT MAKE IT FEEL DISTINCT BY NOT FIXING BROKEN STUFF YOU ******* BANNANAS. How did they spend 3 years and not learn why their game failed.

  • FloatingPhyzxx Phyzzxx (@FloatingPhyzxx) reported

    What does everyone think about the new VALORANT UI?? The home screen is basically overwatch copied but I do really like the victory and defeat screen actually. It’s quite nice. I am soo excited for the new Indian agent, he is actually broken though.
