  • slowdanciiing Pretzel sticks (@slowdanciiing) reported

    @huntresswiz overwatch 2 doesn’t have god awful connection errors like splat3, but then again you’re saved from the god awful decision that was voice chat in splat3

  • RyanLee21143787 Ryan Lee (@RyanLee21143787) reported

    @ItsSomjuu Overwatch 2 is an update to overwatch 1 that's launched with a whole host of issues, with microtransactions that are insanely overpriced and the planned story mode they hyped up forever hadn't even launched with it. Its an unfinished update, how often does that even happen

  • grney__ grney - professional fister (@grney__) reported

    Overwatch really dropped the ball on Ramattra - usually every new character is OP but they shat themselves because of how broken they made Sojourn and thus the next new hero is severely underpowered - which is so **** because his kit’s really fun 🥲

  • RipTiidesHyper R̸̘͒i̷̬̽p̵͖̽Ț̵͌ï̴̺i̷̪̔d̸̬͊ë̵͍́s̸̑͜ツ🔮 (@RipTiidesHyper) reported

    overwatch is not ******* fun rn half of the characters are broken as **** and people just abuse them

  • chimp_northern NorthernChimp (@chimp_northern) reported

    best games of overwatch 2 I've had come from ignoring the warning about "you get worse teams when you leave games" and just saying **** you these teams are ****. still lose because my opponent leaves the point for no reason while I'm healing him. @PlayOverwatch fix matchmaking

  • ohyeahyeah567 iwantamonkey (@ohyeahyeah567) reported

    @solidunicorn6 @BassRhythm_OW @OWAnonymous_ That’s not the issue; the issue is that they don’t give you a good way of EARNING those credits through just playing the game. Both Apex and Fortnite give you ways to earn those credits. Overwatch doesn’t. And the price range isn’t atrocious either

  • _zenith____ zenith (@_zenith____) reported

    @Zinotsune @ItsSomjuu Well it weren't their fault that servers were down. There was a bunch of diehard haters for overwatch that hacked the servers and took it down. The balancing issues I totally agree with though.

  • conjuredlion ConjuredLion (@conjuredlion) reported

    At this point just play Overwatch 2 casually and have fun with the game and don't take it seriously, the matchmaking is off and the ranking system is just way too broken to be worried it :) ✨

  • DoppelDraconius Doppel Draconius (@DoppelDraconius) reported

    Crash Team Rumble looks like Overwatch with Crash Bandicoot characters. Overcrash? Let's hope it's free-to-play at least like Overwatch 2. It's one of those games that really depend on the online population and how the game handles.

  • spudlmao_ Spud (@spudlmao_) reported

    @Blizzard_ANZ FIX THE POTG ON OVERWATCH 2 PLEASEEEE

  • TDormammu The Hooded Dormammu (@TDormammu) reported

    @Custa overwatch 2 is definitely better gameplay wise but I feel like its other issues like a disastrous launch and monetization and all really cost it

  • TheIcon0fSin Ismar (@TheIcon0fSin) reported

    Why am I going against grandmasters and top 500 when I’m in low gold??? Overwatch please fix the matchmaking holy ****

  • gust8bit Gustavo (@gust8bit) reported

    @BlizzardCS My friend got his Overwatch 2 account completely reset after he connected with twitch to receive the free drops. He plays on Xbox and is very upset, because he brought the latest 2 Season Pass. Is there any way to fix this? Did he lose everything for good?

  • EmoDeathKitten EmoDeathKitten (@EmoDeathKitten) reported

    @ItsSomjuu Tbh it probably lost due to first experiences on both games. Overwatch was unplayable at launch where splatoon had(s) server connection issues that don’t occur often. But splatoon still had a better first impression I guarantee thats why it won

  • tjk_9000 TJ (@tjk_9000) reported

    @Custa overwatch is early access at this point, and has too many anti-consumer, anti-player problems I'm enjoying the game but the predatory systems and vanity ranks are just regressive and deserve zero awards

  • T0mPay Tom (@T0mPay) reported

    @Custa All due respect. Overwatch still has a long way to go before it gets the awards. Needs to fix everything first

  • mclovin1392 Thomas Hughes (@mclovin1392) reported

    I’ve never had less fun in overwatch until this season. Holy **** @PlayOverwatch fix the game. Hog is an awful character, doom is just spamming and getting value, the new hero is barely F tier, hit scans are absolutely broken rn. The game is unplayable.

  • KadyWereWING Kady 💛 SLEEP SOUNDLY! out FRIDAY! (@KadyWereWING) reported

    @ThePrimalKev Also Who is this game being made for?? Like, what audience did they think wanted overwatch with crash Bandicoot

  • Astrum0156 Astrum (@Astrum0156) reported

    @ItsSomjuu Splatoon 3 also has problems, dont heeget me wrong (connection issues, tentamissiles ect) but what it brings ti the table is a far more fun game to play than overwatch, i dont want to have fun only when everyone in my team does things perfectly and never deviates

  • rayowendillon Wrayth (@rayowendillon) reported

    New Overwatch, same old problems. People leaving during comp matches. Eughhh

  • Blind_Vigilante Blind Vigilante (@Blind_Vigilante) reported

    I know my tweets don’t get the public eye like others but from my experience playing Overwatch 2, the community is so toxic and the first ones to point the finger when something isn’t working. There can be a lot of reasons why there’s issues in a match but (1/4)

  • R4DI4RT R4DI 4RT (@R4DI4RT) reported

    @Diablo This will be a rushed not ready broken piece of s riddled with MTX upon release, Just like Overwatch.

  • UnicornHairz UnicornHair 💙 (@UnicornHairz) reported

    I think it's crazy that Overwatch 2 has become one of the most expensive battle pass games out there while also being the most broken where it's ranked doesn't even work Are Blizzard TRYING to **** themselves over here? Cause that's what it really feels like lol

  • BatFamNerd Mr. Venom (@BatFamNerd) reported

    @OOCCouchGags It's pretty much Overwatch or TF2 but with Crash

  • CatgirlEvelyn 🍼🏳️‍⚧️ Baby Catgirl Evelyn 🏳️‍⚧️🍼 (@CatgirlEvelyn) reported

    @ImprobableLemon Overwatch's balance team has always been terrible at their job. I don't really care about balance unless it's something that makes the game less fun and/or more frustrating, which Overwatch 2's balancing is. Sojourn is still broken too ffs.

  • Zinotsune ZINOTSUNE (@Zinotsune) reported

    @ItsSomjuu im sorry but overwatch did not deserve it with that nightmare of a launch, ****** monetization, and the bad balancing issues

  • zath98 Zath98 🇮🇹 (@zath98) reported

    @HentaiWriter Call of Duty got a lot of issues including cheating and the grinding in WarZone2 is meesed up, Overwatch 2 it's the same as 2016 Overwatch 1 (if not more broken), multiversus has been dropped by almost everyone immediately. Honestly I'm not surprise Splatoon won

  • biillny ny🎗 (@biillny) reported

    @RipTiidesHyper overwatch is not ******* fun rn half of the characters are broken as **** and people just abuse them

  • AetherMoose Aether Moose (@AetherMoose) reported

    Overwatch content creators incessantly complaining about the game is more annoying than any issue Overwatch actually has gameplay wise imo. #Overwatch2
