  @DavianGma @lmaoZeroGN @alphaINTEL You do understand how a live-service game works right? Overwatch 1 is a prime example on what would happen if the devs stopped working on new content to fix bugs. The devs simultaneously work on making new content and fixing bugs

  @montepriesto @OverwatchEU It might just be a skill issue apparently getting wins in overwatch two means I de rank or Just don’t rank up at all

  @CaramelKaiteki @FroggerOW I don’t know why you’d be shooting a Zarya bubble in the first place?? Dva is not an issue. Even in high elo. You swap to counter her, just like any other character, because she can be countered. That’s what you do in Overwatch. Her shield is not broken.

  Almost every issue I have with Overwatch is a result of its battle pass change

  @MoxieMixie @Schiizop @Vonnierian Apex literally built on spaghetti code, with poor server structure that they literally can't get rid of unless they pay off the end of their contract which EA wont do. Games like Overwatch don't have this issue. Even Fortnite is 10x better. Game was built to be a money grab and..

  I don't know much about Overwatch and I'm definitely a new player, but doesn't it seem kind of broken that doing damage to Winston's bubble, or Sigma's shield gives Sojourn her rail gun charge? Maybe that contributes to her OPness but I could totally be wrong. Just a thought.

  Like Fortnite, Apex, Valorant, they all do this. This isn't an Overwatch problem, its a f2p formula problem.

  I never had the “LC-208” error problem until Overwatch 2. It didn’t happen, not ONCE in Overwatch 1. Im so tired of this, I’m not about to get banned for **** that isn’t even my fault man.

  Overwatch 2’s biggest problem is the fact that it was made by blizzard

  Sorry for the stream issues last night my computer and streaming and overwatch 2 are not mixing well for some reason and it’s causing major issues so hopefully we can solve that soon. You can get back to a recom people on that game. Pc not even outdated I built it in 2020..

  Did Overwatch comp help me push through my depression? Yes. Number I give value went up. Dopamine and Serotonin given. Do the things I need to do, aaaand crash.

  hot take: supports being unfun in overwatch 2 isn't a balance issue, it's a core design issue. 1-3-1 might work? maybe? mega buffed solo supports?

  IcyVert (@IcyVert) reported 41 minutes ago

  changes I need to see from overwatch 2: • battle pass should be extra content, not ALL the content - fix this • this upcoming event should have ways to obtain the skins without paying for recycled content • *sigh* lootboxes • better ways to unlock tokens (apex legends like)

  @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS If you open the door on the new Junkenstein’s after the first major fight, it causes a server error and boots you out. Just an FYI. #overwatch

  The Overwatch 2 ranking system is broken I swear.

  Dear Tanks in Overwatch 2 who over extend the payload you’re the problem not the support who get melted trying to heal you because you want to push so far in

  Overwatch having server issues again on a new update is not a good look.

  I hate games as a service. I hate free to play. The monetization always sucks the life out of the game. However I really love overwatch and have been trying my hardest to stay positive and find things I like. I hope this update is good so I can stop attempting to defend it 😭

  @MsMystie @lmaoZeroGN @alphaINTEL I never played overwatch but one time and thought it was garbage so pls educate me on what happened with those *****. Something like fixing the audio in apex would require tons of work, probably not something they can fix while making content at the same time I assume.

  @Tromnic102 Fortnite, Apex, Rocket League, Overwatch and many more games had worse issues with Cosmetics which were deactivated/bugged and STILL PURCHASABLE for a long time + took way longer until they were hotfixed BUT NO, just hate on rogue company instead

  @Blizzard_Ent @BlizzardCS @LifeatBlizzard Is there a reason you guys ruined Overwatch??? No credits, no actual way to get anything, no way to get skins without watching a Twitch stream for 4 hours??? Your numbers are dwindling on players. FIX IT

  @PlayOverwatch Fix the damn game I'm tired of lagging the hell out. Overwatch 1 was so much better.

  @erronauta @alphaINTEL Fr I love Apex but I'm just having way more fun on Overwatch. Playing weeks of OW made me realize how unpolished and full of issues apex has. Not to mention an ATROCIOUS mmr system some of the worst I've seen in a game.
