    @PaladinsGame Dude is your entire game just buggy and filled with balancing issues, been playing three days and it’s just horrid you and overwatch 2 need to get your **** together. **** sakes

  • SDRtalks SDR talks is in temtem arc but still bi 💜 (@SDRtalks) reported

  • arkhamfan_96 arkhamfan_96 (@arkhamfan_96) reported

    I wanna apologise about the length if stream today on both overwatch 2 and cold war zombies, my Internet just seems to be constantly broken

  • Mykuuuuuu Xenobrainrot Chronicles (@Mykuuuuuu) reported

    Not the overwatch devs trying to gaslight us into thinking their performance issues are our fault or non existent

  • autumndase 🌈😾🕊️🍂☕🍁🎃🎂🎉 (@autumndase) reported

    It's funny how the community is bashing Paladins saying that Overwatch 2 is going to kill the game when in fact Blizzard and their OW community themselves are literally killing their own game with aimbots toxicity battle passes and broken heroes 🚬

  • ferrilol 🍫Nera Forest🇳🇿 (@ferrilol) reported

    @kobayashimaruu Dang. Hopefully they fix it soon. Besides all the bullshit, overwatch 2 is fun. Hope ya get the chance to jam it.

  • Snarsnippy1 Snarsnippy (@Snarsnippy1) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent oh blizzard fix the bug on Xbox we’re if you get an achievement on overwatch 2 I get kicked off the game now I have a 8 hr suspension on comp cool

  • grk__official grk__ (@grk__official) reported

    Man, I love Overwatch 2. I could play that game every day, but Blizzard, please fix this game. Almost every time I leave the game is because it freezes, and there's no option to quit it, till you log off on Windows. Please, do something. It would be really appreciated 🙏🏻

  • AtinyoAMF Jake (@AtinyoAMF) reported

    Being new to Overwatch I don’t know if I’m the problem when I lose so I’ll just say it’s not me

  • chri_hin Christian (@chri_hin) reported

    Can I appeal my Overwatch competitive ban since the terrible servers lagged me out? I was lagged out because of error code “LC 208” @BlizzardCS

  • steve2012hynes Steve Hynes S (@steve2012hynes) reported

    @RaandomR6 @Alpezrr @BlizzardCS Which is not the case here , they rebranded overwatch 1 as 2 and made it free to play . Totally fine with it brings more players to a dead game amazing. The issue is they took a game granted dead but functioning and just made it worse. If the game is not ready don't release it.

  • Fredroc42 Fred Powell (@Fredroc42) reported

    @pcgamer My problem with overwatch was the toxicity of the player base. You couldn't play comp without someone (or more) on your team or the opposite team being toxic. The first year or two the game was great then it all went to ... I also can't excuse Activision/Blizzard.

  • OkonoPancake 🔞🥞𝐎𝐤𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐤𝐢 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧🥞🔞 (@OkonoPancake) reported

    Might stream overwatch later today because I have a problem 😌

  • HelpLifeAIert HelpLifeAlert💋 (@HelpLifeAIert) reported

    @WhoizRodney I don't know if this applies to you or not Chevy, but Overwatch is having an issue with dropping people to Bronze for no reason. They said they were going to boost competitive points to make up for it, which sounds like a stupid resolution.

  • pleasecancelme_ J.D. (@pleasecancelme_) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent fix your damn overwatch servers

  • th00t_patr00l jason™ (@th00t_patr00l) reported

    @BlizzardCS Having trouble getting my overwatch 1 items. I play on nintendo switch and lost all my items in overwatch 2. Migration says complete but doesn’t give me my skins.

  • grk__official grk__ (@grk__official) reported

    Man, I love Overwatch 2, but Blizzard, please fix this game. Almost every time I leave the game is because it freezes, with no option to quit it, till you log off on Windows. It happens to many people, as I saw. Hope it gets fixed soon. @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS

  • Maattee98 Mattee (@Maattee98) reported

    playing overwatch something feels so off, idk if it's input delay or floatyness, something just feels of and idk how to fix it

  • oscarsasss spoopy peach⚡️👻 (@oscarsasss) reported

    It is absolutely absurd to me that overwatch 2 has been out nearly two weeks and there’s still the issue of getting booted out when you get an achievement on Xbox. About to get 7 wins straight in my placements for open queue and got booted. Throw this game off a cliff. 🫠

  • JackieAlexender Jackie Alexender🔜 MFF (@JackieAlexender) reported

    How much of Overwatch 2's issues is blizzards fault and how much is the devs fault. After the resurgence of Cyberpunk 2077 showed me how much of a difference that makes... How much blame lands on the devs shoulders cause we all know blizzard is a ******* TOXIC ******* corp.

  • psonn0291 pson (@psonn0291) reported

    I think overwatch is bound to dying real quick, too many crippling problems. Balance absolute dogshit, completely broken matchmaking, leavers in a loop in normals, server perf much less than stellar

  • NickParkerGG Nick Parker 🎃 (@NickParkerGG) reported

    Overwatch 2 needs to fix the fact you get disconnected when you unlock achievements on Xbox

  • orenjikokoro Gareth - Fireweed (@orenjikokoro) reported

    Overwatch 2 is seriously broken, every single DPS needs a massive nerf.

  • iLoveCowBoyCoc Evon (@iLoveCowBoyCoc) reported

    @BlizzardCS can you please address why thousands of people Overwatch is crashing without a error message. I haven't been able to play since launch

  • Cranborry1 Cranborry (@Cranborry1) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hey @BlizzardCS. My merge queue keeps reseting everytime it hits 0. AND only 1 or 2 of my skins from the first overwatch is unlocked. Pls help with this issue

  • CamOW_ Cam! (@CamOW_) reported

    My theory on what happened with the BROKEN placement matches in Overwatch 2. Thread. my theory on what happened is people who were inactive, even if they were GM or something before, decayed way too much. I think the decision to do a soft MMR reset came a little late (1/x)

  • MateulkaK Mateulka Knedelek (@MateulkaK) reported

    @BenjiSales That's just lies, Overwatch had way more players lol. I still think OW2 might surpass it SOMEDAY but they have to make a good monetization system and fix this bugged af game.

  • ItIsDoze 🏴‍☠️ (@ItIsDoze) reported

    everyone complaining about overwatch rn just sounds like a skill issue to me. this game is not hard at all

  • hugo1_k Hugo1K (@hugo1_k) reported

    @elonmusk Can you buy overwatch 2 to fix that **** pls
