  I’m very sad. Explain to me why I’m sitting in a party with my friends, who have been able to load into overwatch 2 multiple times. But I’m sitting here not even seeing the menu?!? Please fix the game. I want to play it. #overwatch2

  Man Overwatch has a lot of problems but I'm 100% sure its issues with Twitch popularity stem from the fact that it's exclusively played by the least likable people on the planet.

  OW2 is fun since it's not dead like Overwatch but they gotta fix server capacity. lagging out and having to wait 40+ minutes to play again is lame as ****

  Overwatch 2 is a very good game with very bad problems in its launch week. Once that’s sorted, I think I can call myself back into OW for a while!

  @B9mOrion @OverwatchNaeri And not including the information that the battlenet integration was the cause of the issue is basically trying to avoid telling the truth to avoid getting roasted by people like me online. @aaronkellerOW is a coward cucklord and a terrible leader for overwatch.

  Overwatch 2 say there are 4000 people ahead of me in a queue. Fair enough. The wait is around 15 minutes but the real problem is the lag. I was at 100m/s the whole game.

  It’s weird for Overwatch 2 to come out, but my TL has no one discussing it, it’s not trending, and the only things I’ve heard anywhere are about the typical launch server issues. It’s like it didn’t launch.

  @InfernoOmni Overwatch 2 servers and the DDoS attacks and high queue wait times.

  Pallyberry (@Pallyberryy) reported 30 minutes ago

  I think it’s time for some sub overwatch games as soon as they fix these queue times and get better servers. Next week??? 🥰

  @PlayOverwatch Gotta fix the sms phone company issue. I don't want smurfs and I'm glad we're taking actions to prevent them but I have 4 separate friends who want to come to overwatch but can't because their phones are pre paid

  I wish I could play something other than the queue in Overwatch 2 but I understand how a small independent company like Blizzard would have trouble affording servers that work.

  overwatch 2 has been downloaded on pc but i heard that there’s a lot of account merging issues so i should probably wait to get my console stuff over to pc

  i have some sort of weird luck because i got in 6 times on overwatch 2 with no problems at all

  decafmilk (@decafmilk) reported 39 minutes ago

  Honestly, I’ve got to respect Blizzard. They realized that the main problem with Overwatch was that people were playing Overwatch

  @InfernoOmni overwatch 2 having more issues then a divorce

  @TWTHEREDDRAGON I'm about to move on to better games. Did the same with overwatch 1 when it had issues and never looked back . Glad this one was free. I still want a refund.

  Been having a weird issue with Overwatch 2 - Sometimes when I tab back to it, the screen is completely black. Just not showing up. Happened in full screen & windowed mode. Oddly, selecting the screen in OBS, I can see it! What is causing this?

• 
  common_guy (@CommonGuy96) reported 51 minutes ago

  @R4GiNGKiD @hailtonothing @SkillUpYT Nah **** that. Anyone who doesn’t have a pre paid phone service can’t even play the game unless they switch the a contract. Anyone in this situation now has zero access to playing any overwatch game. Shutting down overwatch 1 was a terrible move

  @klobrille I love how CADE even state that Call of Duty isn't even worth a mention to stop the deal basically. That was all sony were worried about, not Overwatch, Crash, Spyro, Diablo, Thps etc just Call of Duty

  @uhXena still up played some overwatch 2 on my friends account since his game worked just fine, but trying to login on my account again since blizzard said they fixed the issue with people that merged console and pc couldnt login

  @ohmyhuge Launch days usually overwhelm servers; Sea of Thieves, FFXIV, and Overwatch 1. I just don’t buy the DDoS thing today like I did yesterday. I feel for the people who bought the Waypoint pack ($40 or whatever), have a pay as you go/prepaid phone, and unable to play completely.
