    @FrogchipTS2 @BackStabBud @Freeman2352 In overwatch 1 I was hard stuck bronze for 150 hours of gameplay, I'm gold currently in overwatch 2 but the characters were nerfed so often in the first game towards the end I had trouble maining anyone, when I tried they were instantly nerfed because of pros and top 500

    I fear that Overwatch 2 will eventually go down the same road as Halo Infinite, finding itself deprived of content in a live service mess with overpriced cosmetics. Maybe it's already there.

    In overwatch, I don't have any issues. Even lag doesn't do much harm. I can play against other platforms like normal and I don't even have any frame rate issues 🤔 Idk I actually not that smart but really playing in Apex is painful 😖

    Anyone else having trouble claiming the Halloween Winston twitch drops ? I have both my battlenet and twitch linked but when I go to my drops it says connection required 😑#Overwatch2 #Overwatch

    Overwatch is a hard game to learn. It has 100 heroes, each has abilities, and you still need good aim for most. I expected issues when they started but not like this. We get stomped! Like, not allowed to move, think, nothing. Just death in seconds. No time to learn or anything.

    Spectrum has been absolutely ******* my internet and I haven't been able to get a consistent bitrate on twitch for like 2 weeks SORRY FOR NO STREAMS IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIX IT also the meta on overwatch 2 is literal ***

    I watched the majority of the overwatch league yesterday and all of it today and did not get the skins or tokens please fix this **** blizzard I´m going to cry

    @haydenisnotokay @Ne0zh999 @PlayApex Not really true. It's expected to have game / server issues for a while after a big update. Example, Fortnite was down for 14 hours after season change. Overwatch 2 was unplayable for 3 days and still had account transfer issues for another 2 days after. Give them time to fix it.

    @ramiro_g_garcia @SunlessKhan @Thanovic We need something like what overwatch did with the phone verification, but obviously not that cause of the issues that came with that

  • whoops_its_peri

    @WormyDragon Honestly the biggest problem with overwatch is that there’s so many ******* effects and complex character designs with different skins that it’s impossible to tell what’s going on at a glance. **** is just particles all over my screen sometimes.

    @ItsSomjuu nah but i was plat b4 overwatch 2 and all these brand new people are dogshit they never communicate its the worst problem in ranked

    @BlizzardCS there is a glitch on the xbox series x version of overwatch 2 where the game goes from 120 frames to 60 then 30 and it never goes back to 120. Not sure what causes it

    @SMB_gg lol cod4 had its problems but for its time it was a master piece, if people want high movement just play apex, titanfall, or that overwatch stuff

    @Demonic_Akumi @WoodmanFLG Going to assume it's something to do with Overwatch 2 Skins that people can't preview before buying by looking at the image above the Yakuza games. Reports of problems with Skins in Overwatch 2 from googling it.

    Am i the only one having issues with the code for the Pharah Skin and charm in #Overwatch2 ? I redeemed it but didnt get anything in game, idk what to do about it. #Overwatch @BlizzardCSEU_EN

    Apex on my switch is getting worse, I can feel the difference even more ever since I played Overwatch 2. And my brother's pc keeps crashing and freezing all the time in Apex. Really hope Apex can fix the game. Cannot enjoy a good game without any issues 😔

    @CZV416 @Polysesouvient Where the hell is the money for counsellors, intervenors, community crisis managers and community overwatch to identify problems before **** like this happens? Why did a kid feel he needed to carry a gun to feel safe to protect himself, and why TF were kids ready to jump him?

  • HatenashiS

    @FlameKainz Soldier 76 from overwatch was forced changed to gay to distract from some other issue blizzard faced at the time(can't remember which oneXD) This is a brand new character...what proof of forced is there?

  • alt_rat_
    gwen (@alt_rat_) reported

    okay but can we plz take bastion out of the game? it was so much better when y’all took him out to “fix” him… NO ONE LIKES HIM #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • RNGsmiles
    RNGsmiles 🌿 (@RNGsmiles) reported

    @50Two25 @denzi333 @b0gur That might be the only damage threshold broken, but the issue is that Overwatch is not a static game. Healing exists and changes other breakpoints constantly mid fights and any small change to a volatile character like genji is pretty big. Especially with the new support passive.

  • kiralio
    Tuxedo Catfish (@kiralio) reported

    @EskayOW it's not even specific to Doomfist, this is the underlying problem with Overwatch as a game, period. the relationship between physical execution and power is insanely arbitrary, and an FPS that doesn't appropriately reward twitch skills is a ****** FPS

  • Tritterzzz
    Tritterzz (@Tritterzzz) reported

    Overwatch hates me fr. I go like 40-10 over like 3 days then 10-40 the next, smh im not playing different so what the issue yo??

    @BlizzardCS I am having a error message says, “The attached mobile phone number has already been used to create a different overwatch game account.the account associated with my phone # is no longer using it and is using a different #.I’m trying attach my # to a new account.
