Sojourn might be the single most broken character I’ve ever seen in Overwatch. She is on par with release sig and brig arguably. Not to mention pros said she had to get absolutely gutted before she even made it into the first beta of the game.

@FizzVsTheWorld And the overwatch team (Team 4) still wasn’t involved with that problem. That is on the other teams at Activision Blizzard.

Every Overwatch character is badly designed/broken in some way, at some skill level. It's only gotten worse with the switch to Overwatch 2. At this point I'd prefer that Blizzard just lean into it and make every hero ridiculously OP and let nature take its course.

@Diondigory1 @ZeroSumPhase @thegameawards thats not the problem of overwatch developers though, its just unfortunately the same business model of many other f2p games in the market right now, fortnite, valorant, cod warzone and halo infinite have the same prices

Overwatch's reduction in number of tanks was not, I believe, mainly in the interest of play balance or game speed, but rather in the interest of matchmaking. There were simply too few players queuing tank, which presented a large problem, especially at higher skill levels.

@wenisprinkles I had the same issue! I realized my graphics were set to ultra in Overwatch. So I set it lower and that seemed to work! Maybe that's the same issue?

@WERESAPPHIC Yeah despite all the lawsuits surrounding the company, some people still downloaded and played Overwatch 2. There are people who will support something they like and disregard all issues like you said, but brushing off the issues within entirely as hopeless does nothing to add-

@JnhnnyKun @1ronscorpio @danteh You just stated she may need a nerf. I literally just stated the problem with sombra as of rn and why it is that way. In solo queue overwatch the expectations that your team is gonna stack and peel the sombra off the tank everytime she hacks is unreasonable…

@syrr3al @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch I understand bugs and glitches but so much was changed and so many bugs that shouldn’t be. It’s been almost 2 weeks and they fix 1 bug every 3 days and even then 3 more show up the game should of been more polished before release. I love overwatch but it’s hard to play it rn

@maiwitchatelier Like… I’m not saying it isn’t common for people to completely disregard these issues when chasing after their favorite media or whatever’s popular at the moment (hint hint: Overwatch 2). (1/2)

Overwatch 2 support placements are broken. In the last game queue, you play with the worse players to see if you can carry them. I lost around 9 games straight because the people were so bad. I even did more dmg and had more kills in a couple of them.

@OverwatchNaeri Honestly, this is a free-to-play issue. I've been playing since launch of overwatch 1 and I have literally every cosmetic in the game except for the brand new ones.

@nbnouttage I have always had fun playing Overwatch with friends. Thats how I got through those 60 hours... The issue is, the fun had absolutely NOTHING to do with the game. It added nothing to the experience.

@PlayOverwatch I love how I’m banned because I lag out of games and can’t rejoin this **** game. Work on it for so long and still terrible. You should be able to rejoin a game and not just get banned for it every time like Overwatch 1
