    @PlayOverwatch PLEASE FIX OVERWATCH 2 WHY DO I GET DISCONNECTED WHEN I GET AN ACHIEVEMENT. NOT ONLY DO YOU GET DISCONNECTED YOU CAN EVEN GET BACK ON THE SERVERS UNTIL THE GAME IS OVER PLEASE PRIORITIZE THIS BUG

  • kxyagami kim. (@kxyagami) reported

    @BlizzardCS I‘ve got too many competitive points in Overwatch 2 (I should only have 3k points but I have 26k) and I‘m not earning points after a win. Is this a known issue?

  • lizavensara Liz Avensara (@lizavensara) reported

    @PlayOverwatch If you're a "live service" now, surely you can add a skin voucher to the game to be redeemed for any non-BP skin instead of throwing a skin at us that the majority of the playerbase won't use? #Overwatch, you used to be cool, man.

  • DaddyDimitrescu 𝔏𝔬𝔯𝔡 𝔇𝔦𝔪𝔦𝔱𝔯𝔢𝔰𝔠𝔲 (@DaddyDimitrescu) reported

    🩸I hate Overwatch 2. I get disconnected in the middle of comp game and then I get punished for it? They made sure the shop worked for them to get money but can't fix servers? I've played OW since 2016 so l understand what this game is capable of and this isn't it.

  • MdoggGhost MdoggGhost (@MdoggGhost) reported

  • DeMomcalypse deMom.TV #BLM 💜🍅🔞 🏳️‍⚧️ (@DeMomcalypse) reported

    Overwatch 1 having the issue where not forking over any money means grinding matches for hundreds of hours to get loot boxes via leveling, which arbitrarily got exponentially harder to do on higher levels and this increased the fomo in non-paying players with no cosmetics

  • Reixnon Reixnon/Smug Cat (@Reixnon) reported

    Hey @Blizzard_Ent I like overwatch 2, it's fun BUT FIX YOUR ******* GAME PLEASE, MY GOD OVERWATCH 1 DID THIS MUCH PROBLEMS ON IT'S FIRST WEEK!.

  • william04220361 william (@william04220361) reported

    Fix your game overwatch, Zaria needs to be removed, if you can’t create something and have it be playable then maybe learn to withhold game releases. #Overwatch2

  • JamesNutrinbo 👻ghoulish🎃 big man stan (the #1 fan) (@JamesNutrinbo) reported

    @xaviersonline I dont ****** like blizzard or overwatch but this is a ****** non issue IT ISNT REAL MONEY. ITS THE ****** LEGACY CREDITS THAT YOU CANNOT BUY. I'm sick of people ******* on Blizzard for **** that is so easily shot down when theres way worse ****

  • xBADxJustice (SGF)xBADxJustice (@xBADxJustice) reported

    35 dollars for a legendary skin in ow2!! The paid cosmetic service is not gonna be okay. Overwatch 1 the loot boxes were controversial for sure but at least you could get everything in game without spending a dime. #overwatch2 #ow2 #OverwatchMicromania

  • CozyLyv Cozy Lyv (@CozyLyv) reported

    Overwatch 2 - Unexpected server error: If you have recently updated your email, double-check that the email in "connections" matches your new email. That worked for me.

  • NJHylian Nathan Hill (@NJHylian) reported

    @kundac @HoshizoraOW Overwatch was also unplayable the only difference is how its taken blizzard to fix it in comparison to cyberpunk which somehow still has so many bugs. It definitely had a terrible launch regardless of the DDos attacks the game wasn't fully playable or at all in some cases.

  • SlaytypeDA Slaytype (@SlaytypeDA) reported

    @DynamicsRJG I can’t get my pc to run Valorant for some reason, I run windows 11, I get a weird tpm issue for some reason, also have you tried overwatch 2, is it fun?

  • fluffy_jacqui Fluffy Jacqui - PNGTUBER (@fluffy_jacqui) reported

    Overwatch still has the obvious smurf problem it's always had that made me quit years ago and Blizzard does nothing to do about it, and obviously it pisses me off to no end.

  • TheMalcolmX6 Malcolm Young (@TheMalcolmX6) reported

    @FlexChupacabra Lol I figured out what to do for Overwatch, it was pain but I got it lol But now I don't wanna play Knockout City cuz of the same thing 😒 and there's no info I can find that solves my problem

  • TotalNacho6 TN (@TotalNacho6) reported

    If a friend who has been recorded on the first page of the Top 500 leaderboard says, “This is not your place(Sliver 1). You are much better than this.” That's a real problem. #Overwatch

  • LegendaryfireYT Michael Jutton (@LegendaryfireYT) reported

    Does anyone know how to fix the LC-208 error on Overwatch 2 I’ve been trying to play it on my ps5 but no luck anyone have a fix for this? @PlayOverwatch

  • daring_onion Mercy’s Biggest Opp. (@daring_onion) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ mediocre? unironically the best version of overwatch to ever exist and it’s NOT close. the only issues are lack of polish and balancewhich are VERY fixable especially with the switch to live service.

  • dreddlightfull bi princex (@dreddlightfull) reported

    @IJellu Honestly same. Whether it’s intentional or not, I hope overwatch 2 fails. It deserves t. Honestly at this point the gaming industry is due for another crash with all the fuckery

  • Corgi_Cuteness Little corgi (@Corgi_Cuteness) reported

    **** Blizzard **** overwatch two I cant even login in I hope who's ever in charge burns in hell I will never play your ******* reboot

  • Ladyaceina Ladyaceina (@Ladyaceina) reported

    @Rayku_Fenrir @KeyToAeris @FFVII_FS_EN yes and look how many 100s of live service games flop every year the avengers flopped the live service scam model is a flooded market with no room for new games overwatch 2 i by the way is the fate of all future live service games

  • kenny58936353 I’m a guy (@kenny58936353) reported

    @Bolverk15 That is the same thing up there he likes to play overwatch but he hates the company I don’t see the problem here

  • Rustypielover Retweet and @ King - RustyPieLover 🏳️‍🌈 (@Rustypielover) reported

    @lovemyyoda91 @Afrihost We have Nothing... I've tried every possible thing So I'm at the point where moving is our only option, but there are factors stopping that prospect for the moment And it severely impacts my streams, I would LOVE to stream Overwatch 2, but the LAG

  • elunaeri ann ♡ (@elunaeri) reported

    SOO! to everyone that plays overwatch 2, - i have a question. is it just me, or does the balancing of the game feels kinda off? as if there is WAY too much damage, tanks are fkn broken (yeah, i'm looking at you zarya!) and it just feels way faster than it usually did?

  • Jameshubbard24 James WOLF Hubbard (@Jameshubbard24) reported

    @AdamJMatlock No problem hopefully I’ll catch your next one. Overwatch 2 good? I’ve played the first one haven’t did the second.
