  • CODCode904 Ricky MLG (@CODCode904) reported

    Both my accounts (GM1, GM3) don't even show up in top 500 leaderboards wtf man >:( fix game pls. I know I'm not the only one either. I should be rank 20 on one and like rank 50 on other. (I could tell based off people on my friends list). Classic Overwatch 😒

  • MrFitGeek Jamie Wright (@MrFitGeek) reported

    This @PlayOverwatch lag and rubber banding is crazy! Nothing wrong with my internet speed or connection at home - but characters flying about all over the show when playing Overwatch 2! @BlizzardCSEU_EN - is there a fix?! #UNPLAYABLE

  • Laney1987 Kyle (@Laney1987) reported

    @Krashy Bust out overwatch 2 now tbh. Yeah unite has got you a lot of money, but this game is finished if they increase price of gems. I deleted the game beginning of the season, no reasonable change happening in the game, if they can change prices of gems they can fix MM

  • wwjdynwa YNWA Liverpool fan for life.JD Taiwan Lucio ps5 🎮 (@wwjdynwa) reported

    People say Lucio is strong in overwatch 2 I think it’s right for pc players but in console? no ,Lucio is still bad, those new players don’t need Lucio speedboost at all because they don’t know when they should push or fall back Some veteran players have the same problem too

  • jetthejudge Jet (@jetthejudge) reported

    @ItsSomjuu Apex is the best of the three but has a grand set of it's own issues. I would've said Overwatch but Blizzard ruined it entirely with 2.

  • stickiDlike stickiDlike 💮 Super Freaky Girl (@stickiDlike) reported

    Can someone explain why people RANDOMLY drop the n word in voicechats as soon as they lose a game? Biggest problem in overwatch 2 right now... @PlayOverwatch do something ._.

  • Marco8471 john Gonzales (@Marco8471) reported

    @BlizzardCS every time I log into overwatch I try to merge my account and it says it’s ready and i have to log out and log back in. It doesn’t do that and it always asks me if I want to merge my account and confirm it. Do I wait or is there another issue

  • EYESTR4IN strainah (@EYESTR4IN) reported

    refusing to play overwatch 2 again unless they fix the ******* servers. for whoever approved this version of the game to be stable enough to release to the public yall should be ashamed of yourselves @Blizzard_Ent

  • problematyc_nt "Ryo" (@problematyc_nt) reported

    I was able to play games in Overwatch fully. Although not so decent with the pc or internet kk because the lag was still there. But I did five and finally unlocked Cassidy 🥹

  • danmcCoy3 FISTZILLA.....LORD OF THE FIST (@danmcCoy3) reported

    Pretty sure the matchmaking in overwatch 2 is disastrously broken.

  • Matthew88248725 Matthew Newsome (@Matthew88248725) reported

    @BlizzardCS I spent money on the first overwatch and played it a lot now i can play overwatch 2 on the esports team computer or my console. The stupid requirement of a post paid phone is dumb as hell who legitimately cares if there are a few smurfs or cheaters your anticheat should fix that

  • DonFourtyO 💧Don💧🐝 (@DonFourtyO) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Maybe after Overwatch and Nivida fix the problem with Nivida Broadcast and Overwatch 2 causing the games to crash

  • AlhecTejeda Alhec Charlebois tejeda (@AlhecTejeda) reported

  • SirTenderloin boostachio. (@SirTenderloin) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Your buggy servers are so bad that I've gotten disconnected enough times to be season banned on competitive, fix your stupid game. #Overwatch #playoverwatch #Overwatch2募集

  • senior_s99 سلطان (@senior_s99) reported

    @PlayOverwatch fix your servers, normal 100 ping at day, 400+ ping at night, this happens only for Overwatch but other games were fine!

  • crucifiedx 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐲 ⎊ (@crucifiedx) reported

    Overwatch needs to fix the matchmaking like really bad. Constantly getting paired up with babies / bots is a no-go.

  • faprid Habibi’s. (@faprid) reported

  • Rathbaume Rathbaume (@Rathbaume) reported

    @Qwik @Warcraft FIX THE OVERWATCH 2 ECONOMY....the prices are absurd and the fact we cant grind for anything anymore due to 60 coins a week....is just so anti-consumer it makes my brain hurt...

  • anebjamin Bastion Enthusiast (@anebjamin) reported

    @_redhoodxl_ @PlayOverwatch just connect your controller to xbox with cable, it's not an overwatch problem it's an xbox firmware issue

  • NaParamore LIVE EVERYDAY OVERWATCH 2 CLIMBING RANKS?! (@NaParamore) reported

    debating on even bothering playing overwatch already. Its easy to tell the Ranked system is a complete mess. I'd be on the Rust but out of nowhere my computer has issues with it And I Just don't feel its worth upgrading my PC since I won't be getting another when this goes

  • Jazz_2002_ Rak (@Jazz_2002_) reported

    The biggest problem in overwatch 2 is Moria not having a heal ability

  • MyBrandIsShelby jokerposting🇦🇶🏴‍☠️🏁 (@MyBrandIsShelby) reported

    Y’all can say what you want about the balance of Overwatch, but the true problem is toxicity. I feel this game has gotten considerably more toxic since OW2 Launched. Even in quick play you got weirdos buggin. Some of y’all really need therapy or like a hug before you log on.

  • IceeRoseee Rose (@IceeRoseee) reported

    Someone gotta help me with my one, for some reason the video keeps lagging whenever I play overwatch and I don’t know how to fix this ****. 🫠😵‍💫

  • hickoryCAN Hiroki (@hickoryCAN) reported

    @PfuzzGaming Because a very large percentage of players paid money for Overwatch 1 and we used to be able to get cosmetics for free If Overwatch was always F2P it wouldn’t be as big of an issue, but legacy players get ****** over

  • AkiraFuyo_ Fuyo (@AkiraFuyo_) reported

    Since my pc crashes when I play overwatch, I won’t be streaming Overwatch today. I’ll try to fix the problem off camera but in the meantime, I’ll stream some Dark Souls 3. Getting the new stream set up right now.

  • massffect helena (@massffect) reported

  • Retweetporn21 StacysMom (@Retweetporn21) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent why is it that I can’t just use the number I have, what wrong with the phone service I use that makes you guys think it’s ok to restrict me from enjoying overwatch 2 why are you guys at blizzard so ***, like you guys always manage to screw something up for people

  • AaronBurner5 Aaron Burner (@AaronBurner5) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I swear to ******* to god y’all are braindead. I haven’t been able to play one week without a LC error code. All you did was update the shop and now I can’t play. Like what the actual **** do y’all do all day? #Overwatch #Overwatch2 #BrainDeadDevs
