Mr. Blitz (@MrBlitz69) reported@OWCavalry So I just watch the stream on the FACEIT website and I should get coins from there?? How do I enter codes on my console when on the website, Overwatch is only under the PC category?? I hope this won’t be an issue
-
Ryancrazyrhino (@CrazyRh1no) reported@CY4N4R4 I think that's one of my issues with Overwatch right now, there's no actual new content and I reached a point in my life where Skins don't matter to me and I hate the cash shop and how scummy it is, but at least Fortnite has new events and modes alongside is cash shop.
-
The Grink🇵🇸 (@TrinityJuul) reported@KUMA_BEARR @FroggerOW you never played the PVE Blizzard made that **** was garbage. Stadium is great but naturally has issues that will be fixed over time. people like you are the reason Overwatch still has a somewhat negative outside perception and ruin the fandom
-
Aaron (@aaronreading) reportedFor the first time since launch, Overwatch has pissed me off so bad that I've uninstalled the game. @PlayOverwatch please for the love of god fix your matchmaking. This is abysmal. I love this game. I want to play it. I'm having ZERO fun with how it's set up currently.
-
minecraftgf (@fakeminecraftgf) reportedanyone have suggestions for a “rendering not found” issue when i try to play overwatch?! tried updating my drivers *and* reverting to a previous update, scan and repair in battlenet, optimizing game in nvidia app… ;-; i jus wanna instalock mercy in qp at 1am pleaseeeeee
-
Simulacra098 (@simulacra098) reportedi want to make a big callout post about the overwatch pride not being available in certain countries while it's there in other games but i fear it won't get the attention of people beacuse most can access it without any problem...
-
Grok (@grok) reportedThe green cat character you mentioned seems inspired by Jetpack Cat, a canceled Overwatch hero concept. In Overwatch terms, Jetpack Cat was a whimsical idea for a cat in a jetpack, controlling it with its paws. It was scrapped for being too silly and for gameplay issues, like paws blocking the first-person view. While fans love the idea and push for its inclusion in Overwatch 2, developers have confirmed the next support hero isn’t Jetpack Cat. It might appear as a cosmetic item, like a skin or companion, but there’s no evidence it’s a playable hero. The game’s tone leans toward serious heroes, making its inclusion unlikely.

𝓴 (@widowmesmeric) reportedokay i’m at my dads and overwatch is running great so idk how to fix this at home, i went through my switch settings and idek 😭 i don’t know what i can adjust since im not the only on on the wifi any advice? i can’t use an ethernet cable
-
Makex (@MakexOW) reported@Coach_Spilo why are you trying to defend him while acknowledging that he has bigoted views? seems like there is a big issue with overwatch content creators/pro players ignoring that people like awkward, dafran and now gamin4hope are extremely hateful people, especially towards minorities.
-
Runt (@RuntInTheJunk) reportedSo I'm not the only one having lagging problems on Overwatch lately right?
-
FabledEggnog (@FabledEggnog) reported@velvetapplez yeahh and like, you can tell alot about a person when you play overwatch with them..joined someone from a xbox group post and they only played support ranked and were kinda bad at it...looked at their profile and had 1500 hours on genji 😭 and i thought i had a problem on mercy..
-
lin ♡ yoongi (@93s97) reportedyou guys fight tooth and nail about this girl but the reality is there and we see the undertones don’t act tone deaf to avoid the conversation that’s there, is it like other games? no, but does overwatch have a problem with the way they do **** like this, YES.
-
JCRE8 (@JCRE8_) reported@Blizzard_Ent please fix your game? I've been suspended enough times because of your servers. It's ruining my experience of overwatch 2
-
noponpotential (@noponpotential) reported@tea_arttt The known issues list on the overwatch bug report forums
-
vene₶iaπ ～｡☆꒰ 🐑🍷 (@liespiach) reporteda lot of fans of certain heroes have it a lot better than they'd make it out to be and I think it has something to do with how the overwatch fandom as a whole has a victim complex issue.
-
codzienne zdjęcie penisa🇵🇲🇵🇳🇺🇬 (@belmondo420) reported@CounterStrike 1 of 10 players cheats in your game that means 1 cheater per game. GAME IS UNPLAYABLE. How to fix: 1. Bring back overwatch 2. Hire 30 people on minimum wage to be admins in games and overwatch people. 3. New anti cheat very intrusive we want just clean gameplay. 4. HWID Bans
-
Hooni 🇵🇸 (@SmolHooni) reportedGame is not optimized to this day and they barely work on fixing the balance issues. The only players were ex overwatch players who were playing it because they were mad with overwatch but now they're realizing that it's a **** game and it was never going to actually rival OW
-
FabledEggnog (@FabledEggnog) reported@live_lobster @LoovlehCuppaTea like fr ive always had issues with nightmares/terrors and i would wake up in a jolt, punched the wall occasionally...one of those holes was made from an overwatch dream. My body reacted like im terrified dreaming about those games 😭😭 sometimes i will close my eyes and instead
-
Leon (@bobafettyaoi) reported@rodiprimes yeah I figured 😭😭 tho what’s funny is that I’ve had no problem adjusting to paladins on pc from getting used to the controls with overwatch
-
bungie (@bungie765) reported@JimSerna1 @StreetFighter I don’t believe so. SF was collaborating with Overwatch and monster hunter at the same time so there shouldn’t be any problem with multiple collabs happening at one time
-
Nicholas 🇬🇷 (@nicvis986) reportedAbout to go to target to spend $60 that I don’t have on an Xbox controller to see if the issue with my overwatch game is fixed by getting a new one.
-
Crogdan (@Crogdan) reportedI HAVE NOW LOST ANOTHER GAME BECAUSE MY SPIKE GUARD WAS NOT REGISTERING A HIT ON A TARGET THAT WAS UNPROTECTED AND ABOUT TO DIE. FIX THIS NOW. #HAZARD #OVERWATCH #OVERWATCH2 @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS @Blizzard_Ent
-
notoriginal (@DovydasDovis3) reported@KingKaiCUCOO @RivalsLeaks personally it feels bad to play compared to Overwatch (let’s say it’s a direct competitor), maybe cause it’s 3rd person or cause of the performance issues but it does not play anywhere near as smooth as Overwatch does
-
YeeHan Enjoyer (@YeeHanHater) reportedoverwatch, wdym I can't hear my gf sing now 😡😡 fix the vc 😡😡😡
-
Quinso 🌗 (@TotallyQuinso) reported@Symmetraupdates Ah I see though I’ve noticed people just hating to hate lately with Overwatch. Oh? Same issue too? :(
-
Daph!! ☆-☆ (@Daphne_de_Vil) reported@trabucooo1 @OverwatchNaeri Yeah that’s kiriko, and everyone agrees its an issue, but she is basically overwatch’s poster girl and also i thoight u didnt care about skins.. so why are u speaking so much on skins now if they add nothing to the game?
-
Flib (@m6cayy) reported@mekamercy i like it a lot, i think the main issue people see with it is the makeup or something, i dunno overwatch twitter is miserable
-
Bortles (@Bort1es) reported@MarvelRivals overwatch 2. Killing you. It’s not for character reasons. Fix the match making
-
Sorin (@Sorin_FF) reportedBut i guess that's what league of legends, overwatch, FFXIV, genshin impact, valorant, marvel rivals, etc. is for. I think live service and indie games just fill in the holes now. But people are tired of live service.
-
ShortM 🇿🇦🎮 (@SHORT_MEISTER) reported@mushroomiiee League of Legends has 5% of the lore in game and 95% on the universe website. Apex Legends suffers from the same issues as Overwatch but maybe even worse. It comes with the territory of the genre I'm afraid.
