  • jaltersimP6969 Cielentine (@jaltersimP6969) reported

    @Crimzo The change I'm most excited for is the new free to play model. I have a lot of friends that I really wanted to play overwatch with but they couldn't because they weren't too well off financially. But now that problem is solved : )

  • AjAlchem AJ Alchem (@AjAlchem) reported

    In the week or so since Overwatch 2 came out, I've managed to play ONE game of Quickplay before being incapable of playing the ******* game thanks to the ****** LC-208 error.

  • AzzieY33 Azzie (@AzzieY33) reported

    Another day Overwatch 2 remains completely unplayable for a large portion of players. LC-208 is a big issue, im very positive that a company like Blizzard will get this issue resolved, but it is frustrating. @BlizzardCS @PIayOverwatch2

  • Flamingflako Elian Reynoso (@Flamingflako) reported

    Honestly I can’t play overwatch 2 because everyone plays ZARYA she way to broken. 2 bubble sh#t maxed damage with no de-buff!!! While getting pocket. I’m not having fun no more get rid of her or Nerf her to the ground.!!!!!! @PlayOverwatch @OverwatchEU @Blizzard_Ent

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch 2 Cmon can't even get in for days now stuck at a stupid overwatch 2 loading screen please fix this bug or I might as well just never play overwatch again if I'm having problems already

  • _cooky_pie 🍶 ᨳ᭬ c o o k ˀˀ (@_cooky_pie) reported

    @EMagp1 @imAVRL The only problem is : why two legendary skins (new one or not) cost as much as Overwatch 1? At the end it will cost more than just a game when before it was free

  • Voltaire_Aro VoltaireAro (@Voltaire_Aro) reported

    I love overwatch!!! I love lagging extremely bad then my entire game crashing!!! Thank you Overwatch!!!!

  • Heals4Mercy 🎃 Ashe-O-Lantern 🎃 (@Heals4Mercy) reported

    My only problem with overwatch 2 right now is the fact money is a critical part of the game if you want exclusive things like the battle pass or to even be able to buy cosmetics. It feels so wrong, i get they need to make money somewhere but it feels so ridiculously overpriced

  • itsrose_exe rosé ♡ (@itsrose_exe) reported

    Ppl still complaining that they have to buy the battle pass on overwatch 🥱 Sounds like a skill issue to me

  • NsyncOfficial3 gods little *** **** 3 (@NsyncOfficial3) reported

    Anyone on Xbox having issues trying to get into overwatch 2? Is there a work around for error code LC-208?

  • BMiste51 Alexandre S (@BMiste51) reported

    @BlizzardCS @battlenet I play Overwatch 2 on Xbox Series X and when I unlock a success I find myself disconnected and therefore take an abandonment penalty, is a patch planned ? It looks like I'm not the only one having this problem.

  • mtailsm (@mtailsm) reported

    one thing i hate about competitive overwatch is if i get disconnected because of wifi problems i get suspended:/

  • sergiogv27903 Seiio_Sketch (@sergiogv27903) reported

    @PlayOverwatch a friend of mine has the account linking problem on XBOX Series S, it restarts several times when that is fixed?? we are players from overwatch 1 for 3 years😾

  • stillthehatred Aphr🎃 (@stillthehatred) reported

    I can’t even play overwatch on my laptop cause it keeps giving me a rendering device lost error. Tried everything to fix it so it’s definitely the games fault.

  • Skxtchy Sketchy (@Skxtchy) reported

    Anyone else having server issues with overwatch today

  • D7Noot Dāku (@D7Noot) reported

    Overwatch 2 is fun, but they have to fix the reward and progression system

  • FionaNotJuliet Fiona 🎃 18+ Only. 14143 Word Count (@FionaNotJuliet) reported

    new fun overwatch glitch! it’s showing my time played as 185 hours when I know it was near 500 and my most played character is actually Mercy at 48-50 hours. But now she’s at 12 hours. what the hell. @PlayOverwatch

  • clickfasteatbut clickfasteatass (@clickfasteatbut) reported

    my AC is broken. will be a true overwatch gamer when i unlock that delightful musk

  • TheOttor OTTOR (@TheOttor) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hello I'm trying to sign up for Overwatch 2 but it says my phone number is Pre Paid? For Obvious reasons this is not the case. Any chance for help or is this a known issue?

  • RATBURIAL ANGEL: EVIL MILF Edition ™️ (@RATBURIAL) reported

    I think my biggest problem with New Overwatch is how mobile the new characters feel compared to the old ones. Like it’s almost unfair in a way. Sojourn can get out of literally ******* anything and slides all over the place like a damn Apex Legends character

  • Unklebunkles Bunkles (@Unklebunkles) reported

    My verdict: Overwatch 2 is an okay game The major issues being the terrible balancing and not getting good cosmetics without dishing out some dough But its not a bad game, its just okay. Maybe not good for ranked but good for casuals with friends #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • Vonwafer_ (🔴Live on Twitch) Von Wafer 🐺 (@Vonwafer_) reported

    @Pwny_Montana_ wish someone would ddos the servers like they did overwatch

  • Shadowunk0wn Julian (@Shadowunk0wn) reported

    @PlayOverwatch This would be very cool and nice to Have 2x xp if I can get pass the menu and pass that lc-208 code. Plz fix. I beg u plz fix this bug or whatever this ls. It's been a week now that I haven't been in overwatch now.

  • Skxtchy Sketchy (@Skxtchy) reported

    Overwatch isn’t the problem is anyone else having issues with their PlayStation connecting

  • VoidatronTweets Voidatron (@VoidatronTweets) reported

    Overwatch 2 has me so upset. It is so laggy on my computer when Overwatch 1 was not. Its like not owning the game anymore :/ This is probably a unique problem to me but, hey... Twitters for complaining right?
