  • urmum69ghh Harvey (@urmum69ghh) reported

    @InfinityWard Can someone explain to me what all the hypes about it’s literally Warzone 1 with a new map that’s obviously gonna launch unfinished and broken this is literally just overwatch all over again calling your game 2.0 to get people to excited but really your serving them the same game

  • cyrobolic cyro (@cyrobolic) reported

    @m31_ballin I feel franchising is gonna have the same problem that Overwatch has where the teams are gonna be the same no matter what and people are gonna be fans of a team less then fans of a particular player, which already happenes but to an even farther extent now because of it.

  • akumanakji 악마 낙지 (Nakji) 🐙😈 (@akumanakji) reported

    I just uninstalled overwatch for league… I’m that mentally broken 🗿

  • DivineRaiju Yold (@DivineRaiju) reported

    My last 10 games in OW comp have all ended in defeat. And it's the same issue as always. If I'm support. The dps ain't doing ****. If I'm dps. The supports aren't doing ****. If I'm tank. Both dps and support can't ******* do anything. Same overwatch. Same bot *** teammates

  • LadyDinAz_Salad LadySaladPuddin | Gonna main Harbor (@LadyDinAz_Salad) reported

    Besties and I are planning to make overwatch OCs. I'm over here still thinking, while they atleast have an idea 😔 Big problem is that I'm still unsure about the overwatch lore like goddamn. Apex really ruined me.

  • TheHustler23 Mark Henry (@TheHustler23) reported

    @RyTheK9Guy @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent The career profile stats are ****** on consoles. They’re going to push a patch out to fix it soon. However, it’s going to revert back to the stats you had in overwatch 1.

  • InsanityNowhere Insanity (@InsanityNowhere) reported

    @Aksy_exe Destiny is probably the most egregious example of the kind of slaughterhouse for creativity and progress the live service model is. It happened to Destiny, it happened to COD, it happened to Battlefield, it happened to Overwatch. It is the black hole of gaming.

  • CRTverb CRTverb 📺 (@CRTverb) reported

    Splatoon 3's multiplayer kinda sucked w/ all the connection issues at launch, & it can be tilting, but they smoothed it out later on. What else was I gonna put there, Overwatch 2?

  • BruiserVT42 Bruiser (@BruiserVT42) reported

    @OverwatchFR Bro please make him broken which means make him a good tank

  • Dajoh0 Dajoho (@Dajoh0) reported

    update: my overwatch 2 tank rank is still broken

  • ThatManDan97 Daniel (@ThatManDan97) reported

    @Unb0undVoid @OmoiteS @AndreaPichinini More than fair enough, you certainly get much more value for your money that way. I usually have a multiplayer game running on the side too, currently jumping between Halo Infinite and Overwatch 2 for my multiplayer fix.

  • ComposerPhantom PhantomComposer (@ComposerPhantom) reported

    Why ******** is the Overwatch team refusing to nerf Sojourn? I have been insta killed by a rail gun THREE TIMES THROUGH TRANSCENDENCE that isn’t even FULLY CHARGED. No other ability in the game can do this and you’re going to act like she’s NOT broken? @PlayOverwatch

  • tranzqifrey Arcade ●⟐○ (@tranzqifrey) reported

    @vampilled Probably worse than Overwatch even, whenever Apex rts art people even threaten the fanartists and tell them to fix the game 💀

  • AegirFlare Aegir 💫 (@AegirFlare) reported

    Just fix the boat bug that won't let the character turn when the boat turns in the water and it'll be the overwatch map of all time

  • savrzz savsavsav (@savrzz) reported

    @BlizzardCS i've been having trouble with ur overwatch 2 game, whenever i try to look at my hero challenges it says there are none, i used to have them considering i have a new skin for bastion and diva. pls help a girl out

  • OverwatchCaval Overwatch Cavalry 🇬🇧 (@OverwatchCaval) reported

    🗒 The Overwatch team are working to resolve a critical issue with the patch; they will post an update on the forums and on their socials (@PlayOverwatch) as soon as possible.

  • xopx_gamer itsrealxOPx (@xopx_gamer) reported

    @CallofDuty Honestly don't make it free then you will have more problems like Overwatch 2 did servers crashing and ddos and hackers I can see it all now

  • nukiitooki nukii_tooki (@nukiitooki) reported

    1. Wanted to play Overwatch 2 2. Phone number is not from the account registered country (my country isn't an included option). 3. I am a literal child and do not have proof of residency (totally unnecessary info). 4. Can't play Overwatch. Pls, fix it. @Blizzard_Ent

  • JimoarGaming Jimoar (@JimoarGaming) reported

    @HoegLaw My question is could they put in writing (not exactly a contract) but a binding agreement to not make legacy ip (cod Diablo, overwatch, crash bandicoot, etc) exclusive for a decade or so?

  • Naturalxp1 Naturalxp (@Naturalxp1) reported

    @brianbct007 @SamitoFPS Too bad twitter doesnt have the capacity in one single tweet to mention 50% of the problems overwatch 2 has and had.

  • Doorenskrrrrt ダッレン (@Doorenskrrrrt) reported

    Overwatch has been plagued with balancing issues. I don't think it's really because of the inherent structure of being a class shooter, but because the devs are just really bad at adding and balancing heroes.

  • Dajoh0 Dajoho (@Dajoh0) reported

    update: overwatch 2 rank rank is still broken

  • Denjah_ Denjah (@Denjah_) reported

    @verttontop @cordelloXO i forgot you’re **** at val, my bad we don’t have this issue on overwatch

  • cum_derwear austin (@cum_derwear) reported

    @BlizzardCS do we have to message y’all everyday to get this ranked problem in overwatch fixed??? There’s 100s of people that can’t get out of bronze 5 dude y’all are blatantly ignoring this bug

  • shotcalla_z Zack ☃️ (@shotcalla_z) reported

    @RanghaWasTaken @moshieroo @Dasnerth Not to mention this also happens in just about every competitive game too lol. League, TFT, Overwatch, CS. The hidden MMR system is something games have never been able to fix or actually do right

  • maidgameplays 💙 Poggust 💙 || Fan Acc (@maidgameplays) reported

    @Me_lol__ no problem man i totally know everything about overwatch

  • yukii071 ryanユキー (@yukii071) reported

    i had a funny moment recently where my friend was having trouble pronouncing the name of an overwatch hero and i bragged that i’m good at pronunciation and that i’d check it out, and then immediately i also had trouble pronouncing their name lmao

  • DiegoFromVA Diego (14-3) JUSTIN HOUSTON DPOY🏳️‍🌈 (@DiegoFromVA) reported

    @WonkyDrive @Jourd4n_ Come home now!!! I need my daily fix of being yelled at in an overwatch comp game
