-
✨Mini✨ (@UDminison) reportedAnd then, after that, I got on overwatch to play with some friends but I couldn’t. They were just crying in my ear the whole ******* time about some **** that happened. I don’t mind listening to issues, but there was no consent…I just wanted to chill
-
Timothy Mark! 🎄 (@Timothy_Mark7) reported@hzcomicfan @tenbino @MelonSaurus nah marvel fans are worse at least we overwatch fans are aware of our problems
-
Messy (@M35Y_) reportedBall isn't bad in Overwatch 2, you just have to be really good at him to get decent value (and be willing to switch when you can't). The problem is too many people *think* they are really good at ball
-
𝓐𝓼𝓱𝓮 (@silver_cowgirl) reportedIs it just me or is Overwatch comp broken because I swear either the team is not on my level or the enemies not to mention the fact I got place in the same rank even and winning seven and losing none
-
Sagir (@SagirKhan_) reported@pickle8771 @BungieHelp Sadly I couldn't even log into the game all day yesterday. Yet Modern Warfare 2 and Overwatch 2 worked perfectly for me. I can barely play today. Constant error codes like baboon, weasel, centipede etc
-
Viveros (@TheViveros) reportedI don’t plan on exclusively making Overwatch content, but the next one will still be an Overwatch one, and I *think* unless YouTube allows me to poll subscribers that it’ll probably be about how many problems in Overwatch stem from the devs giving players incomplete information.
-
Ruben (@Temenz0) reported@Blizzard_Ent Deleting overwatch until you fix it
-
Hamad Alharbi (@Gddo3_) reported@PlayOverwatch @LovelyShiz Hey overwatch team we currently have a problem at ps5 we cant get the friend zone trophie for the og players that played overwatch 1 because the system think we already got the trophie please fix that soon as possible we can’t get the platinum trophie without this trophie
-
Joseph Rosado (@Joe__Rosado) reportedOverwatch 1 was way better than Overwatch 2 @Blizzard_Ent straight up ruined the whole competitive scene by 1 making the game free and 2 bringing in broken characters like Ramattra and Sojourn good job ruining the game
-
tori :) (@noelletruther) reportedoverwatch ranked has got to be broken right now why am i, a silver 2 ana player, in a lobby with masters and grandmasters and when i do get my 7 to rank up i only go up 1 rank
-
DeterminedSloth (@DeterminedSloth) reportedMan. Never seen Overwatch been more of an L in my entire life than the current state it's in. Fix the game and maybe it would be more fun for everyone.
-
Les Vermisérables (@Vermontious) reported@VVaypoint As long as gameplay isn't locked behind Lootboxes I'm so ok with them. Overwatch 2 has this problem - no way to earn skins whereas the first let you get them through the boxes
-
AnimasPaine (@AnimasPaine) reported@leerobi08433142 @NextGenPlayer but stealing Call of Duty, Spyro, Crash, Diablo, Guitar Hero, Hearthstone, Overwatch, Candy Crush, Starcraft,Tony Hawk, Heroes of the Storm, and World of Warcraft is okay apparently.
-
Just Another Chump (@DaigotheKing) reportedIm still playing bc I like overwatch, but holy **** this game is demotivating me big time. Where is my incentive to buy into the dogshit battle pass system when this game is so ******* broken and unfun to play?
-
Kyle Higgins (@HiggiesOutHere) reported@AlexanderWhos @ExeFrozen Lmfao arnt you the same person I saw begging to buy overwatch coins for 17$? I see you say how “I missed out on the glitch” now it’s the holidays you’re telling people who got a ban to eat ****. Get bent. I didn’t even do the glitch youre a hypocrite.
-
Verak Dragora (@LycanOfChaos) reportedI've narrowed the issue down, it looks like the PSU is drawing too much power with heavier CPU loads. Twice now I've had my full rec setup run fine with Overwatch 2, yet with Mechwarrios 5 both recordings caused a shutdown at this point when smashing through the buildings. (1/2)
-
Michael M (@Cowhead_Cow) reportedOverwatch 2 has an aimbot problem
-
Cornelius 'Zoom' Thompson (@CorneliusZoom) reported@MukiHyena I played Halo infinite (This would apply to any Halo anyway) after Overwatch and found that my aim improved with snipers and everything else I now sucked at using. I couldn't use snipers before. And I keep trying to use positioning in Halo, as if that ******* matters. I'm Broken.
-
Mr.Clean 🐍 (@Yanazuki1) reportedI feel my anger issues worsening in life, so naturally I gotta start playing overwatch and main healer to feel even more hatred and rage
-
nae ^-^ (@naelikes2meow) reportedme when my pc crashes over overwatch ................ i need to fix it .... but i have no knowledge about pc parts *screams and cries*
-
Arl Misery Arse (@ArlMisery) reportedOverwatch 2, my experience.. Tried on day one and it wasn't working. Just tried again now and it's asked for 3 or 4 different hoops to jump through just to sign in. Page 1 do this, page 2 go here, page 3 sign in again. Deleted. ****, ******** off @Blizzard_Ent
-
Soju (commissions open!) (@Soju_2) reported@Snppd_C I was playing ranked while this went on. I had ONE match where I didn’t lag or stutter, Fortnite & overwatch were completely fine it was just apex :/
-
Michael (@FMoneyMike) reportedNever thought Overwatch would stoop so ******* low…Let’s add an extraordinarily broken character and put a paywall behind it. I don’t care if it’s a free game now, it’s the way they went about everything. Cringe
-
Pompeii (@Pompeii_INIT) reported@LaM4ngo This is like when Blizzard listens to only the top tier 500 in Overwatch for nerfs. Overwatch 2 is a dumpster fire and they are just now fixing months long problems but most aren't even really good fixes and are just small Band-Aids on giant wounds at this point 🙄
-
Maple (@ThatguyMrMaple) reportedJust bullied a Widowmaker with Winston. She proceeded to call me the problem of Overwatch. I have NEVER felt so satisfied in my life.
-
Rebecca Craig (@Rebeccacraig43) reportedI swear the internet only has problems when I want to play overwatch. 🙄
-
Benedict Coo (@BenbenCoo) reportedLower back is a bit strainrd causing me to have a bit of a tummy issue. But ill try to stream some killer games in DbD as well as maybe some Overwatch 2 learning Rammatra
-
Joker Jaden (@jaden_joker) reportedWhat if @PlayOverwatch made a feature where everyday you login you get a certain amount of “overwatch coins” and that would help players get more skins instead of wasting so much money for like one skin. #Overwatch
-
Chuma (@ChumaPG) reported@Claylex1 Been thinking on reinstalling TF2, problem is that really I feel fed up with that game, it became Payday 2 where you need items to be bought or dropped on to have loadouts, im OK with overwatch and Valorant skins. You can dm me your discord and steam, need new allies/friends!
-
Woof (@woof_ow) reportedThere is no possible way to balance current overwatch, blizzard needs to release as many heroes as fast as possible. I dont care how op they are, the sooner we get more heroes the sooner they can add a ban system which would fix so many of the games problems.
