    @PlayOverwatch This isn’t the only problem. We have to now deal with a ****** cash grab game, in overwatch I paid for it and I got all the hero’s and didn’t have to buy battle passes, I ******* hate these companies trying to convert amazing games into trash tier dog ****.

  • Batchiplays1 Batchii🦋 (@Batchiplays1) reported

    Overwatch needs to fix their matchmaking system almost diamond and im playing with new players. It doesn’t really make any sense

  • valiticsonline Silent (@valiticsonline) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch Be aware of an issue where if someone is in a group and gets kicked out of a game/disconnects, they can’t log into overwatch again until their partner leaves the game as well

  • sadbingbong ホクスリー (@sadbingbong) reported

    Hello @BlizzardCS ! I've been having trouble merging my accounts. I haven't played Overwatch in years and when I downloaded OW2, I had to create a new BattleNet account because I either forgot my email & password or never even had a BN account to begin with.I just don't remember

  • EspedraStudios Espedra Studios (@EspedraStudios) reported

    It’s like the world doesn’t want me to stream Overwatch 2! Fixing audio issues and be back in 2.36 minutes

  • courtplocica courtbutt (@courtplocica) reported

    Has anybody else had issues with Blizzard suddenly saying you have no career or anything on Overwatch 2? I have 480 hours into the game & I was level 222 but suddenly I’ve never touched the game apparently 🥲 if you were able to fix it please let me know. @PlayOverwatch

  • trace_buffalow Trace buffalow (@trace_buffalow) reported

    @PlayOverwatch How about you fix the ranking system there’s no way I should be getting bronze 5 when I constantly placed gold or higher all of overwatch 1. The people in the rank are so bad that I can’t even win to get out since I’m a solo player and if your tank is bad you litterally lose.

  • Dragsterpal Dragsterpal (@Dragsterpal) reported

    Whelp, there was no problems, even with only one 8 Pin CPU wire, although it was Overwatch, which can run on 2 potatoes and a stick of ram

  • TheNamesYuri_ Y µ r i (@TheNamesYuri_) reported

    DPS PLAYERS ARE BY FAR THE MOST ENTITLED BOOSTED DOGSHIT MORONIC ******* CHIMPANZEES IN OVERWATCH HOLY ******* **** YOU GUYS HAVE THE MOST BROKEN ******* ROLE WITH THE MOST SPACE TO DO ANYTHING YOU WANT AND YOU GUYS HAVE TO BE CARRIED LIKE A TODDLER HOLY **** DO ANYTHING FFS

  • DruJump DruHillJump (@DruJump) reported

    @BlyZeraz I put hours into Battleborn than Overwatch. It had more heart, personality and in game content than OW at launch. Anyone who takes issues can line up to kiss the left side of my ballz.

  • Cameron6226 Cameron 🍁🍂 (@Cameron6226) reported

    And it’s not just a “skill issue” to switch to not having aim assist. It completely ***** up muscle memory and whatnot. Overwatch 2 basically goes from having 35 heros to like 5, if you don’t wanna suffer from the loss of aim assist when playing with pc friend

  • VSGNsocial VSGNsocial (@VSGNsocial) reported

    So hard to keep a Good Attitude in Overwatch when you Kill a few of them on the other team and they all just Need to make sure you are dead at all times because you are a problem.

  • infnadous jersey (@infnadous) reported

  • orlando_scruggs Orlando Scruggs (@orlando_scruggs) reported

    @overwatch theres a bug in your game where whenever people get achievements on xbox, the game will crash and its caused my friends and I to get banned. Theres also another bug in the game on xbox where whenever I switch my character, my fps will drop from 120 to around 40-60.

  • imitchalot 丂ㄥ丨爪乇Ҝ卂Ꮆ乇 (@imitchalot) reported

    @AzDaRealest You're entitled to your opinion ofc! Cyberpunk worked well for me. Outriders had multi-player crossplay issue for like a day or two. Overwatch going into overdrive breaking sht. Company big as hell! It's trash.

    @PlayOverwatch are you going to fix the bug where unlocking an achievement disconnects you! This is annoying and you get dinged as a quitter for this bug ! Fix it!!!! @Blizzard_Ent @Microsoft #Overwatch #Ow2 #Overwatch2

    @BlizzardCS any fix on to why my games played wouldn’t be tracking on Overwatch 2? I’ve won over 30 games but my heros for games played haven’t been unlocking

  • person0nthenet a business man (@person0nthenet) reported

    @SteelOnyxYT420 @illansuu @KEEMSTAR Dev team isn’t the entire corporation, they made statements saying people part of the dev team that were involved (apart of blizz mainly) were sacked the very second and besides the mcree issue overwatch devs had nothing to do with it. Just in crossfire
