  • GenericAnonUser DudeThatTweets (@GenericAnonUser) reported

    I tried playing overwatch 2, got an error message about my phone number (since I pay month to month on it) and can't access the game 🥰 very cool @Blizzard_Ent so I guess my numbers not good enough for you huh 🤔

  • CoHQueenie Queenie (@CoHQueenie) reported

    Ever since this last little update my Overwatch will not stop crashing and locking up my computer. No issues with other games. It is quite literally unplayable. I ******* hate Blizzard.

  • SaucedSeb AT | Seb (@SaucedSeb) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Bruh you literally just re-released overwatch one but broken

  • mythosruined Salinger⁷ (@mythosruined) reported

    Anyone else just get kicked in overwatch 2? Says server down

  • Res215dg Eric (@Res215dg) reported

    @CaptAwesomeIRL If this is regarding being stuck on bronze, the Overwatch devs have confirmed their are current ranking issues that is causing people to be stuck in lower tiers than where they should be. Grind through it, don't give up on OW just yet man

  • ThineSirius Theesirius (soft hiatus) (@ThineSirius) reported

    [2/3] I'm sick and my health isn't the best so if I'm streaming and I get a bit frustrated over a game (Overwatch) and it becomes an issue because I'm too direct pls just dont watch me and find another creator. Many great talents and I can name plenty of people I know to watch.

  • yandere_fuck Anterflov (@yandere_fuck) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN During the game, the AMD video card driver may crash, 5 times there was a failure and the driver was rebooted. Yesterday there was a case that Overwatch 2 caused me a BSOD.

  • confusionOW mel (@confusionOW) reported

    I was in the middle of a ranked ******* game in overwatch 2, then got kicked out because it needs an update, and now I'm getting the LC-208 error. thats unfortunate

  • Arm_Bar1004 Arm_Bar (Gooble) (@Arm_Bar1004) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I keep getting disconnected from the servers, and I have went to battlenet to get helped and used the steps they told me to do, and I am still having issues. My internet is good and literally having more issues on overwatch than Splatoon 3 servers.

  • Kkkeggg Kegg 👾 (Joker Arc x2) (@Kkkeggg) reported

    Overwatch is a great game, I get 500 ping, glitch out, the game servers crash then I get an hour suspension for leaving a comp match

  • MaybeMots ApplePancakes (@MaybeMots) reported

    @AnxoAwoo overwatch 2 has way too many problems rn where they literally have to remove Bastion from the game, Gundam Evolution lookin PRETTY good rn.

  • defnotDNK Dr. Ñęgrøń Kēv🎃 (@defnotDNK) reported

    moira should not be that broken in overwatch 2

  • ColdCocoaVT Cocoa☕ (@ColdCocoaVT) reported

    I have a problem, I want to play more overwatch...

  • segmentaryupsu1 Not a spook (@segmentaryupsu1) reported

    @ZackTaylorFA @BaboonaLoona I'm a very casual gamer. Noticed that. Playing overwatch 2 in unranked games. Ppl quit in the middle of the match, at the first sign of trouble even if we end up winning. Ppl rage over dumb ****. it's just like...don't you wanna have fun? We aren't even playing in a rated system.

  • SatisfySarah Spooky Sarah 🍂👻🍂 (@SatisfySarah) reported

    Bro, if you're playing Overwatch 2 and you're using Zarya in the game modes that she's broken in.. You're weak. Pathetic to play a invincible character.

  • RadKennster radkennster (@RadKennster) reported

    Overwatch 2 stream was just not working for me lol I’ll have to check up what the issue is on a test stream.

  • BramleyKara Kara Mai (@BramleyKara) reported

    Its ******* amazing how bad overwatch 2 is considering there is almost nothing new. Almost every basic component is broken in some way.

  • TheViveros Viveros (@TheViveros) reported

    Your refusal to learn how Overwatch works isn’t a sign that Overwatch is unbalanced, it’s a sign that you’re fundamentally committed to being bad at Overwatch. And it’s kinda sad to watch people dig their heels in and insist that that’s everyone else’s problem.

  • Saiboguu ➳ 源氏 (@Saiboguu) reported

    @SeraphicMedic - - > I can ensure I don't leave a corner of her body stressed and unintended to. After all, this is a service as an overwatch agent, repaying our hard working doctor."

  • fairygod_nigga TheFairyGodNigga (@fairygod_nigga) reported

    Could you imagine if Overwatch used a Ban System for character picks in Ranked so players won’t have to deal with characters they find broken like LoL? It would force everyone to learn the other characters and they’d be able to nerf the appropriate characters based on ban rate🧐

  • barflene 🤍𝔄𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔩🤍 (@barflene) reported

    So like… will I not be able to play overwatch 2 ever 🥺💔 I can’t stop getting server errors

  • WispyKumo ☁️ 𝓛𝓾𝓴𝓮 ☁️ (@WispyKumo) reported

    Overwatch potg is so broken

  • symbiotic2099 Sym (@symbiotic2099) reported

    its been like 3 years and the overwatch team still hasnt fixed the vc issue on xbox

  • BH4rt BludH4rt (@BH4rt) reported

    @Buddy46155001 @frozenfroh @BryNgons Okay maybe suck is harsh, its just idk, seems like were running into the same problems with overwatch problem but instead of comunity feedback its all in house decisions. It just seems like they dont know how to concretely set themselves into a competitive fps market.Ur thoughts?

  • Ole_Sigurd The Dinkster (@Ole_Sigurd) reported

    @G0ffThew I just can’t help but think that the only reason Overwatch 2 exists and replaced OW completely was so that they could force people into a more exploitative live service system than they had previously

  • PajamaPajamaPa2 Nate'sPajamas (@PajamaPajamaPa2) reported

    @EskayOW What killed Overwatch 1 was never knowing how to balance at all. Mercy isn't meta so let's make her must pick for 11 months! The final stage needs to be exciting, make Roadhog OP! We can't really fix Dive better just make Brig 100% counter the comp. Rest is right though.

  • iamcheez M3ntaL® (@iamcheez) reported

    The boost was a lie. Competitive mode is still so broken. It seems that now I can't rank past Silver 5. Also why the hell you removed the ranks, from ranked. Bring back the icons, make it feel like a competitive mode and not quick play. #Overwatch #Overwatch2

  • bunnyfabIe bunny (@bunnyfabIe) reported

    it's probably just bandwagon overwatch hate but still. really, the worst part of my experience so far was the initial few days of the login queue and the horrible rubberbanding issue (which is still ongoing btw, not sure if it's just a console thing but im at my wits end)

  • MinatoAgawaVT Minato Agawa 🐙☕️ ENVtuber (@MinatoAgawaVT) reported

    Right as i went to get online this morning, my internet went out. I didn't say anything cuz i hoped i could stream today, playing overwatch. Hopefully someone can come down tomorrow to fix it. Otherwise i might go insane

  • Xtreger2 Xtreger (@Xtreger2) reported

    @PlayOverwatch No one will play overwatch 2 after mw2 release, you know why? Because they have mouse and keyboard integration for console players. Fix your game !!!!!!!
