  • KarnicsTwitch Karnics (@KarnicsTwitch) reported

    i love how i cant get into overwatch 2 on my MAIN ACCOUNT FROM 2016 but i can login on my alt and play just fine

  • uhnotherone Notto (@uhnotherone) reported

    Overwatch 2 fixed the game launch queue time, but now you wait 10+ minutes while flexing in quickplay. Nice fix guys.

  • Vintrenza ben (@Vintrenza) reported

    @PlayOverwatch why couldn’t you have just left overwatch 1 alone while you fix your garbage “game”

  • ImBxtly ImSoBxtly (@ImBxtly) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I was banned along time ago during overwatch 1 from comp for leaving matches but back then I didn’t have good internet so I kept lagging out of matches… anyway I can get unbanned?

  • GoodBoiPodge Podge (@GoodBoiPodge) reported

    On one hand Overwatch 2 being essentially broken and unplayable at launch is very funny On the other, its incredibly embarrassing, especially for those who would defend it

  • madthunderwolf0 gabe (@madthunderwolf0) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Did you fix the bug where almost half of the overwatch roster is locked or is that a no?

  • whimzywastaken Spooky WhimZy (@whimzywastaken) reported

    @Haider83207270 @OWAnonymous_ The issue is that tanks would die too easy in Overwatch 1, they buffed tanks now. Luckily there's only 1 so there's a greater responsibility on one player to properly initiate fights

  • DarksideStraxus Avocado Aficionado (@DarksideStraxus) reported

    The Overwatch 2 servers are atrocious and the merge account feature is beyond broken. Blizzard shouldn’t have released the game in this state.

  • PorkZilla21 PorkZilla (@PorkZilla21) reported

    @BlizzardCS I can’t sign in to overwatch 2 it keeps asking for a login in so I login then it keeps asking for a login after I’ve already logged in can I get some help

  • VicrowIsNext Vicrow (@VicrowIsNext) reported

    @PlayOverwatch People are complaining about merging but they gave us the option 3 weeks PRIOR to overwatch 2 so there wouldn’t be a problem which I had no problem, everything transferred while some of you did it last minute like a homework assignment and you guys have to be patient and wait now

  • cori_adamson cori adamson (@cori_adamson) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I was able to play one day and now I can't when get back in due to this account merge problem still happening and I had this account since overwatch 1 launched

  • ShhIAmRyanBlue Ryan (@ShhIAmRyanBlue) reported

    Blizzard’s fix for the Overwatch 2 login queue times was *drumroll* to make the queue times for each game take 15 minutes 😎

  • FlawSocial SocialDesignFlaw (@FlawSocial) reported

    Overwatch 2: Crashes Not sure what's going on and this seems outside of the standard issues, but haven't been able to get through a single match without the game crashing mid-match (Not Responding). Have to close it out from Task Manager. Right now it's just...unplayable.

  • aedromar Aedromar (@aedromar) reported

    Okay so did overwatch move the servers or something ? Now the best ping I can get is 150ms I cam never dream of 90ms again wich means with my regular lag ill always be at 250+ if this doesn't change in the next weeks I don't think I'll be playing overwatch anymore GG

  • wsmitty10 Way🌹 (@wsmitty10) reported

    @FurryGxngTTV @DeadByBHVR Dbd devs: have a game that allows me to play it. Overwatch devs: have a game that wont let me login (LC-208). If you ask me one of those is a bit more user friendly than the other (and it isn’t ow)

  • FAREEDHXD Fumiko (@FAREEDHXD) reported

    @PlayOverwatch There is a bug that is causing Overwatch 1 players being recognised as new Overwatch 2 players with none of their old cosmetics unlocked, Please fix this issue.

  • Inflation8_ Concerned American 🇺🇸 (@Inflation8_) reported

    @Danny1972Fins @PlayOverwatch It’s not the point of 1 hour. They said 1 hour yesterday and it was 2. It’s a Friday night and the boys have a SR push session coming and they’re trying to take it Back offline after DAYS of not working?!? devs and **** decision making 👎🏼Also this game is OverWatch 1.5 not 2

  • minxfan The Flash (@minxfan) reported

    @OverwatchNaeri I haven’t still got in overwatch 2.... still login error

  • iMissEvil1 Karen x (@iMissEvil1) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent when overwatch 2 released I logged in and connected my phone number, I'm not being asked to do it again but I can't because it's already done, so I've been locked out of the game. Any advice on how to fix this?

  • KrowakiTv Lavelle Jordan (RE4 3-23) ♋️♌️ YT:KrowNinja (@KrowakiTv) reported

    @OtakuGod_ @PlayOverwatch Damn bro, I ain’t even had a chance to play today, I been doin my laundry n then the power goes out, hopefully Overwatch fix up by late Sunday morning tho so we can play

  • Steppenwolf_AN Sonobitches (@Steppenwolf_AN) reported

    How is Overwatch 2 already dead?? We queued for 15-30 minutes to play a 10 minute game. They fix the servers and it’s dead the next day? Should’ve kept the Lootboxes, honestly

  • ReisengRath 🎃Reiseng🎃 (@ReisengRath) reported

    If you distract the gamers long enough with bad posts, they won't login to overwatch 2 and blizzard will finally die. This is the strat we must all use for the coming winter

  • snoochgaming SnoochGamingTTV (@snoochgaming) reported

    So are the overwatch 2 devs gonna fix the match Q orrrr …. People been waiting for hours to get into a quick play match it’s crazy

  • Kilen272 Spider-Man addict (@Kilen272) reported

    @ACMEofficial2 @Smol_saki @Dexerto Overwatch 2 is free, but the real problem is that they nuked OG Overwatch. Took me about an hour and a half to get into the game the day after it launched.

  • PerimXCarone Gabriel (@PerimXCarone) reported

    @NickyBoiYT i ABSOLUTELY aggre with you, i have such a big urge to return to hearthstone and try overwatch 2, but i just cant stomach supporting blizzard anymore, i will NEVER play any games from them until they fix their problems

  • erikholgs erik holgs (@erikholgs) reported

  • figurenines . (@figurenines) reported

  • Youngjae_Lee295 샤오첸루 (@Youngjae_Lee295) reported

    @PlayOverwatch But how are we gonna get the Kiriko skin if you're gonna take the servers down? No one is gonna be streaming Overwatch 2 if there's no game.
