  • lightbrightpap1 lightbrightpapi (@lightbrightpap1) reported

    @BlizzardCS I placed a ticket for ERROR BN-563. But have not got an answer. Please refund my money from overwatch 1

  • bento_bongos Gaia Bentos (@bento_bongos) reported

    Overwatch gained a noteriety for the porn, instead of taking full advantage of it, the parent company, Blizzard, wants nothing to do with it despite OW2's many, MANY glaring problems. (seriously, even a transformers mobile game mentions kiss players! missed oppertunity)

  • ForgingMeanings Joma Cueto (@ForgingMeanings) reported

    the shield meta on overwatch was SO BAD! they made a new game just to fix it

  • Sidd4_ THFC (@Sidd4_) reported

    @OverwatchEU Overwatch fix the competitive career profile on PS4. We can't see our stats or are time played this season. Or other peoples. This is a bug and it needs fixing.

  • arkadidp Arkadi De Proft (@arkadidp) reported

    @Bo_Hoogland I don’t know but I feel like there’s way too many walls and stuff right now. Overwatch had the same issue eventually.

  • buteralattay 🖤 Ms. Stargirl™️ Stan⁷🎻 (@buteralattay) reported

    @ughae77 Oh my goddd 💀💀💀 Overwatch 2 be havin issues. They did maintenance on the game for like 3 hours when u logged back in nearly every character was locked 💀 I dunno what’s goin on with games these days

  • CodCrybaby COD Crybaby (@CodCrybaby) reported

    @TheGhostOfHope Before they leave for break they need an overwatch/fortnite removal system in case something is too broken again. Just remove it until they are back in after holidays.

  • Erikas_xd ♡ Jinx ♡ (@Erikas_xd) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Could u fix the issue with the game not launching? I press play it says "playing now" yet the game doesn't launch & it doesn't appear in task manager, i can't launch the game bcs it says "playing now" so i have to close battle net & then overwatch application through task manager

  • PandasPOV Panda | VTuber (@PandasPOV) reported

    My problem is that I want to get better at Valorant and Overwatch but I also want to spend time with my girlfriend

  • BurningRev Risky D. Max (@BurningRev) reported

    @BlizzardCS Playing some games seems to be lowering play stats in career profile for many players. For example, I've played Junker Queen at least 30 mins and several games, but says I played her once for 5 mins, and it's happening to stats from Overwatch 1 too. Please address the issue ASAP.

  • _bunlian Noy🌱 (@_bunlian) reported

    @BunnyPhantom_ @IGN Activision blizzard has been a problem that caused overwatch problems aswell.. ig its just the games as a whole

  • SkyFox_E54 SkyFox (@SkyFox_E54) reported

    @M21kComm_Mng @AcidQueenOW Ty, the main problem I had with AA is it'll do things you as the player weren't expecting, without a doubt the further away you are from someone the harder it is, I tried warzone on console and it's painful against mouse... But for overwatch a lot of engagements are around chokes

  • CalamariSteven Bobson Dugnutt XIV (@CalamariSteven) reported

    @staycationtg Same, would be nice if Overwatch would fix the glitch where hero challenges disappeared though. I can't unlock any new heroes.

  • stable_tony StableTony (@stable_tony) reported

    Grind for hours in @Overwatch 2 Go 7-1 in competitive see bronze 5 think to myself no way in hell, google find out a bug and impossible to get out of bronze atm posted 3 days ago, look at OW see nobody has said a word about it community pissed. Maybe fix and add a 3 after OW.

  • TheDairyDealer Chulo《MANIC》 (@TheDairyDealer) reported

    @Roseylee1998 @GreenTextRepost @RayanBounab1 Theyre doing it bc overwatch had a massive problem with smurf accounts and hackers. It's a good thing

  • BrightsideFPS Brightside | Josh 🌻💙 (@BrightsideFPS) reported

    @anas0_ali Exactly. Like yes, it isn't a good system. It's predatory as **** and sometimes really expensive. But right now it's only a problem because overwatch does it. It absolutely does not make sense whatsoever.

  • No_Limit_Gamer Lord Jamar (@No_Limit_Gamer) reported

    @XxiKGixX Don’t play fifa and cod has always had hacker problems tbh as for overwatch I’m enjoying it just fine I don’t really have a problem with it’s model it’s no different then other f2p games and I think most ppl are overreacting or have fake outrage over it but that’s just my opinion

  • DrFurryuser Dr.Furry 🥤 (@DrFurryuser) reported

    @halbirdd I played overwatch 2 and it is alright for me, except the queue problem bs

  • jasnater88 Jason Smith (@jasnater88) reported

    @BlizzardCS I’ve played competitive matches for Overwatch 2 but it hasn’t recorded any data for them. Played over 7 matches for damage placements, no rank has been given. What’s the problem?

  • Looksbetterinre Looksbetterinred (@Looksbetterinre) reported

    @bfg1963 @MutugiV @mackio_ What are they afraid of? Shouldn't the public see what service they are paying for? Shouldn't the public have overwatch in them? Buy a clue and go to the next round 😒

  • IamLaLunaa Luna🫧🌙 (@IamLaLunaa) reported

    @tsacillim Gabes Overwatch keeps crashing so can’t even tell him to join us unless you know how to fix it lol

  • No_Limit_Gamer Lord Jamar (@No_Limit_Gamer) reported

    @XxiKGixX Overwatch never had any progression just loot boxes which ppl spent a ton of wasted money on you can still unlock and buy stuff except it’s free or you know what your getting there are still events lol idk I get it’s blizzard it’s cool to hate them I just don’t see the huge issue

  • ratmousecryptid luna in real life (@ratmousecryptid) reported

    theres a glitch in overwatch 2 rn where if you hit alt + f4 it refunds all yr torb skins 🤦🤦

  • Jox_in_a_Box Jox in a Box (@Jox_in_a_Box) reported

    @tajh256 Sounds like an Overwatch issue

  • asteroidera spiders kel (@asteroidera) reported

    @TBSkyen not sure how I feel about this… like everything about it is just “do you get he’s african inspired?? Do you do you?” kind of feels like it’s stumbling into Overwatch issues :/

  • fandriix76 Fandrix (@fandriix76) reported

    I can’t even tell if Overwatch itself is being laggy or if it’s my broken Xbox app.

  • Rathbaume Rathbaume (@Rathbaume) reported

    @OverwatchEU now fix the cosmetic economy in the game. because charging 20 bucks for overwatch 1 skins and making it take 8 months for a single skin if we sweat our ***** off aint the answer....

  • BrackenBuddha Brakkun (@BrackenBuddha) reported

    Now I understand they should probably fix the **** show of Overwatch Contenders first because that **** is…well…****, but at least PC has something to work towards, something to actually try for. As console…I mean…who cares right?

  • RealCollisto Collisto (@RealCollisto) reported

    I have had double the number of Overwatch 2 matches crash the game than I have completed. Lowest settings possible, guess my system can't run it like Overwatch.

  • droca121 Droca (@droca121) reported

    i swear sojourn is just the most broken character in overwatch
