  • _J0hnDoe_ M. Chanandler Bong (@_J0hnDoe_) reported

    The biggest problem of ranked games in #Overwatch is not the game itself. It's the player's "big brain". At least in gold... They're either "better than everyone" or "were diamond on OW1", so the fault's never theirs. How ironic for a game based on teamplay 🤡

  • swoonerd rebecca♡🕰️ (@swoonerd) reported

    @BlizzardCS any updates on overwatch for nintendo switch?? i haven’t been able to play since the oct 25 update. i get to the start screen and then when trying to enter the game it force closes itself and the switch system says an error occurred

  • jamiltdavis Jamil T Davis (@jamiltdavis) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I haven’t been and to play for two days on PS5 due to LC-208 which was caused by the Halloween update. I also don’t have a PC to fix this issue myself. If Overwatch 2 ran on Mac lol…..

  • DeadStateCora Dead State Cora (@DeadStateCora) reported

    Gotta love "progress". 8 of our Pros previously had Overwatch digitally. We have since upgraded them to PS5s. The first one I update auto connects. The 2nd one is mad at me because I need to add my phone number. Problem is my number is already in use for my PC. GG @Blizzard_Ent

  • Maattee98 Mattee (@Maattee98) reported

    @ilondanaconda yeah, got no issues in cs, val or overwatch, i get massive freeze lags too in apex it's very frustrating

  • AJpeterson88 Andrew J Peterson (@AJpeterson88) reported

    @StoolGametime Thinking to Blizzards’s overwatch server issue on launch. Nah. I’m good

  • PhoenixKona PhoenixKona (@PhoenixKona) reported

    @BlizzardCS i don't have the two golden weapons I bought for junkerqueen and sojourn. the next week I came back they were just gone. I'm pretty sure this is a glitch because on the overwatch forms a lot of people's gold weapons are missing from junkerqueen and sojourn.

  • CLAYTO_MODE CLAYTO MODE (@CLAYTO_MODE) reported

    I might make a new Overwatch account and ruin the competitive integrity of the game because Activision-Blizzard won’t fix the bugged Top 500

  • t3nkamus0u Kiriko's #1 Fan (@t3nkamus0u) reported

    @PlayOverwatch for the love of God, can yall acknowledge the blatant issue thousands of people are having‽‽‽ I have not been able to log on to Overwatch 2 since this stupid *** Halloween event. I'd contact your support team but my Xbox doesn't have diagnostic files. Please fix

  • starryhymns vecc 💕 (@starryhymns) reported

    the problem with overwatch is that there is no difference between ranked and unranked so all the 4k hours copers try their hardest on meta picks in unranked

  • aura_core AuraCore Vtuber (@aura_core) reported

    @TheMilfPrime OverWatch 2 is free I don't pay for it because the predatory business got worse since blue boxes were taken out. I just don't pay attention to the drama because that's too big for anyone to fix

  • a_mogu_s Amogus (@a_mogu_s) reported

    @PlayOverwatch are you even trying to fix you piece of **** of a game it's been a month, and server problems are still a thing. are you speedrunning killing overwatch again or something

  • asheywav hermit vibes (@asheywav) reported

    either my skill level is severely above what it should be or overwatch 2 has a bot issue or something because i feel kind of bad

  • JavisAqt javi (@JavisAqt) reported

    Anyone else having disconnect problems with overwatch and blizzard? I got suspended for 15 mins when my internet is just fine. This is kind of frustrating.

  • briirouge 💀Wicked Octo🎃 (@briirouge) reported

    @BlizzardCS How long till the login LC-208 is fixed in Overwatch

  • GSmashGaming Grandmaster Smash (@GSmashGaming) reported

  • Jelizumi Jeli (@Jelizumi) reported

    overwatch ranked sucks. @PlayOverwatch fix your buggy *** ****

  • badguy974 badguy974 (@badguy974) reported

    @JMW_BOYZ Deck will be great when they do these things: Smaller/lighter form factor (something closer to G Cloud) Better batt life Higher quality display More compatibility with online games (destiny/overwatch etc) The thing is I think the issue is X86 for size/battery, may not fixable :(

  • Revan89209709 Revan (@Revan89209709) reported

    In all honesty @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch @Activision won't fix the insane monetization unless we straight up stop playing the game #blizzard #overwatch #scam

  • JadeFurryVR Jade Furry (@JadeFurryVR) reported

    Got around to playing Overwatch 2 and seeing if they changed anything about the tutorial. Noticed a shadow bias error on Tracer during the level.

  • LukeMeades LukeM06 (@LukeMeades) reported
