Lmao to overwatch getting Ddos. They can’t keep their own security tight but wanna hold us accountable for toxicity in their ****** lobbies by doing all that extra BS.

Earned their skins through play had their time wasted. Blizzard is either incredibly inept and this is a horrendously bad decision or there has been an error. Either way Overwatch 2 is off to a bad start as predicted

Old raging Cat is about to show her claws because I am SO DONE with this Overwatch 2 launch bullshit, I ain't even playin'. Two hours and we have literally not even seen a menu. Blaming DDOS like a cop out. Spit on it.

I love how the Overwatch 2 experience for me so far has being sat in a queue and then seeing the queue reset for no reason because of some “error” like let me play the game

This uhh..30k+ queue looking like classic wow rn for overwatch. I know it's free to play now, but they shouldn't be having a queue, ESPECIALLY this big of one, ESPECIALLY on launch. It's only going to get worse. I wanted to play today, I hope they fix it soon.

"Content creators" are playing Overwatch 2 with 0 issues during a huge DDoS attack but the rest of "normal" people have to wait and what watch them? I'm not giving those shills one view. Weird how this attack is so massive but they are fine without dropped games either.

@BlizzardCS maybe get a replay back to this? So I have cricket. It doesn’t work. Now I completely can’t play Overwatch. There’s millions of others with the same problem now. Are we all just not gonna play anymore? We being forced to have a specific number?

I am happy to report that Overwatch 2 is literally just Overwatch, again. With all the same issues. People still don't know how to play for OBJs. Characters still feel awkwardly/poorly balanced. All the highlights you'd expect from a team based FPS made by Blizzard.

@Qwik why not release this as an official statement from the bnet launcher, news page or Overwatch twitter account so people dont have to check multiple accounts to figure out whats going on lol all the launcher says is "theres an issue" ???

Pretty sure I can't play Overwatch 2 because I have to link a phone number to my account. This is stupid because I haven't had phone service in like a year. So now I can't play this game even though I bought the original Overwatch @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent

If my skins and stats don’t appear for Overwatch 2 I swear to god…. Over 300 hours with Moira would be lost, including ALL of her skins which I had collected AND the cute spray that took me years to earn and literally all of her cosmetics. Left the game hoping it was a glitch
