    @Blizzard_Ent I was playing overwatch 2 and I was kicked out of the game because of server issues I guess. But now I’m banned for the whole season!!! I was banned all last season for Wi-Fi issues but this time it wasn’t my Wi-Fi.

  • SoloPlayer177 177Legend (@SoloPlayer177) reported

    @BlizzardCS I a lot of players are getting kicked out of overwatch getting an error message and due to that now I am banned from season 4 competitive.

  • JackOfspAdes98 Jack ♠️ PNGTuber (@JackOfspAdes98) reported

    Overwatch comp is still... comp. Blizzard, fix your bugs! Aside from that last game, it was a nice stream. Thank you @AKAJWalker and @CGDNemesis for the raids! And @spookymittenss for the sub! Idk what I'm playing tomorrow, but I'll be live again at 2pm PST. Take care, all!

  • Skleecks Tyler (@Skleecks) reported

    I sweat to God, either Overwatch 2 is completely ******* broken, or I am just one of the worst players ever.

  • Spaniel_N7 Dan Monkman (@Spaniel_N7) reported

    @TheDogeMaster2 @itsHunterTV @charlieINTEL Overwatch 2 and csgo2 are letting people keep their cosmetics. Games are all live service now, they want people to keep their stuff so they come back Considering much mw19 stuff is still in the files there's no reason why people couldn't bring the skins over other than money.

    I ******* hate how Zarya is designed in Overwatch. Why is she rewarded with extra damage and range for just popping bubble and letting herself be hit?! It's ******* broken when contesting a chokepoint since she can just ******* run in wm1ning.
