    Any mutuals who play Overwatch 2- would anyone like/want to play on my account and finish my Battle Pass? My lag is so horrendous with our new internet provider I can't even be in the practice range without lagging out. I'm at level 54/80😭

    @OW_SVB Gonna put my tin foil hat on for this one, but they're either lagging really hard or someone is trying to train an AI to play overwatch for them. Seems weird that they play like an AI trying to learn with the name Markus, probably a detroit become human reference or something.

    @Qu1ckQu1et @DeadByBHVR I think they know about the issue. But companies tend to get holiday breaks and these days are not exception. Look at what happened to the twitch drops of Overwatch. 2, almost 3 ENTIRE DAYS without them. Excuse? "We were taking holiday break, so we are not working haha!"

    vic- new year era 🎉 (@whoreiccells) reported

    Stopped playing dbd bc the game is boring. I'm tired of the same **** every time. Overwatch is fun bc there's variety. There's not much room for variety in dbd and the game doesn't really encourage using off meta perk build, and the camping/tunneling issues haven't changed.

    @ModernWarzone Let’s get overwatch 2 back on Tim’s channel since fatty has a problem not doing it

    is anyone else having a problem with overwatch queues where when it finds a game it just kind of cancels??? bc it’s so annoying 😭

    @GoldenboyFTW Not being able to play the game the pros were playing while VCT was popping off was too much for me. OWL carried my enthusiasm for Overwatch and now... trying to get back in feels like more trouble than it is worth

    @Overbuff Heya! I'm getting an error when signing in... "Unable to communicate with Overwatch, please try again [PABF4]" Any way to help?

    bmk (@bmking69) reported

    @epthopper Blizzard does not balance their games around the highest skill curves. Hearthstone and Overwatch have had long-term balance issues because of it. No offence to the people who work long shifts, but their philosophy is incompetence.

    ✨Aly@EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS ✨ (@alyberia_goose) reported

    Any mutuals who play Overwatch 2- would anyone like/want to play on my account and finish my Battle Pass? My lag is so horrendous with our new internet provider I can only play 1-2 games before I lose connection. I'm at level 54/80😭

    @natynecc @EskayOW That’s not exclusively a Overwatch problem though, unfortunately.

    I can't download anything, but I can play Overwatch with no issues. My emulator physically can't connect to the internet, but I can stream stuff on Discord??? Make it make sense ;;

    Im amazed at how long it takes Overwatch to fix a massively broken ranked system. Its not that they can't they just Clearly don't care

    @BlizzardCS I accidentally got my friends battlenet account for Overwatch stuck on my console for a year after putting in the wrong credentials for my account. Can you please help fix this without making him wait a year to get it back on his console? He has over $1000 invested.

    Cendrillon (@JigglyOW) reported

    @FadeddFps don’t blame you but I posted about this recently that a lot of fps games run into similar problems right now, and apex might get stale for you some time from now and then you are back to overwatch not because they fixed it but because apex was just the same issues

    @PlayOverwatch I am still unable to connect my playstation stat's with my overwatch account I prefer my playstation as its got all the skins I paid money for what do I do to fix it I can't even contact blizzard cause it doesn't do anything to help..

    Merry Switchmas (@Switchie147) reported

    Overwatch 2's ranked system is actually ******* broken. I understand hidden MMR, but that **** should not only not exist, it should affect your actual SR. The whole system is bullshit.

    @chastity_v I’ve had the same problem, but with Overwatch 2. 🙃

  • Iainlol
    iain (@Iainlol) reported

    Can someone please explain why whenever I play overwatch the lag is terrible? It’s not my internet as I’ve tested it over & over again. Yet recently, only in the past few weeks, I’m rubber banding during matches. Fix your servers. @PlayOverwatch @OverwatchEU @ATVI_AB #overwatch

  • nauseumMF
    Unknown but Ape (@nauseumMF) reported

    @Alexand89683221 With a No vote, nobody can either. So, imho, yes fix it and get stuff done, or no, drive both stocks to <$1 in a crooked market with no overwatch. You choose. Yup, you have a choice. Who you gonna blame now?

  • Sad0wlz
    nash (@Sad0wlz) reported

    @BrightsideFPS Tbh at this point no matter what any of them do from what i see the playerbase itself kills overwatch league on top of the *** hero balancing and i understand cuz its always the same 2 team comps, i can name allot of things but having 2 seoul teams is the least of OWL problems

    Paradox (@AsinfuIParadox) reported

    I see why people play Overwatch wasted. This Game's current state is the worst it's been in since beta 1. Without booze or friends there is no point in playing. And Blizzard is gonna drop a nothing patch that barley addresses the current issues. At this point we need OW3

  • trencherboi258
    SANTA TRENCHER🎅 (@trencherboi258) reported

    I’ve officially decided to step down from the Overwatch team for Nova Uprise. I know we haven’t done anything yet due to some roster issues, but I have faith we’ll get things going ASAP. I will continue to oversee and help the OW team until I can find someone to replace me

    @AlarmeColver @YatoAcosta Overwatch 2 give a critical hit to Paladins but the game has been carring problems for much time, by example the monotony of content since 2020
