  • Cory79888753 StillGeeking (@Cory79888753) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Gotta love the devs killing there game by scaring all the new players away. Constant server issues twitch drop issues. Didn't learn from OverWatch one

  • tnaewcwwecw Clumble (@tnaewcwwecw) reported

    @BlizzardCS hello I decided to merge my old overwatch account to overwatch 2 and some of the skins are gone from owning notably the officer dva skin is there a fix to this?

  • theromeran THEROMERAN (@theromeran) reported

    I've been playing Overwatch 2 and to be honest, I don't completely hate it. Playing with friends is a lot fun, queue times are down a considerable amount, and no bad ping. My only problem is that the new menu uis and score look and sound like total dogshit.

  • Kishibari Rae the Disqualified Human (@Kishibari) reported

    I’ll try playing more Overwatch when they fix the locked heroes bug. Goodnight though all. For real this time.

  • Necessit0 Necessito (@Necessit0) reported

    @BlizzardCS Can we please go back to Overwatch 1... **** this #2 version. Everything is broken and unplayable. And **** this battle pass.

  • niktofu Nik “Nik” Tofilovski (@niktofu) reported

    @PlayOverwatch fix your damn game. I got suspended because your “servers” kicked me out. This never happened to me during Overwatch 1. Also nerf sombra

  • soup__dispenser soup dispenser (@soup__dispenser) reported

  • Fate_iwnl Madison Slough (@Fate_iwnl) reported

    overwatch devs fix one thing and break another at the same time. it’s honestly hilarious at this point

  • Necessit0 Necessito (@Necessit0) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Can we please go back to Overwatch 1... **** this #2 version. Everything is broken and unplayable. And **** this battle pass.

  • Quolsen1 Quinn Olsen (@Quolsen1) reported

    Overwatch 2 is a flawless game with no imperfections, no server problems, no queue times to get into the game, and absolutely no bugs or glitches that require emergency maintenance from Monday, October 10th, 8pm PDT to approximately 9pm PDT at which the game will be unavailable

  • RUSS4THEWIN SGA⚡️ (@RUSS4THEWIN) reported

    Overwatch 2 servers are so broken THANKGOD this game was free because this has to be the worst launch since CyberPunk

  • Kinsale42 tactical sleeveless shirt Hanzo (@Kinsale42) reported

    @CinCin1992 I think the only thing that was having trouble with it today was the Overwatch servers

  • myrtleemmerich myrtle emmerich (@myrtleemmerich) reported

    @BlizzardCS Overwatch may be fixed but now the whole login process is messed up. My wait time to log in to battle net is over 30 minutes!!!! what the heck @BlizzardCS

  • mazooter mooles (@mazooter) reported

    @Kemmo_Ado @The_BGG_ @OWAnonymous_ I don’t think it’s good faith to argue that “it’s always been broken” because its pretty clear they don’t mean it’s broken relative to traditional overwatch but they mean the arcade gamemodes are more broken than they were in overwatch 1

  • Emmett_OW2 Emmett (Average OW2 Mauga Enjoyer) (@Emmett_OW2) reported

    @TailsCursed @PlayOverwatch idc it's just the reboot of the monetizing so how else are they're going to make new content without any money? and at lease i played Overwatch for years and i have no problems with OW2.

  • Fucking_Egos Fricken Egos (@Fucking_Egos) reported

    Overwatch’s ****** launch has made me question my relationship with most live service games and why I should either ditch them entirely or just stick to one, that one being Fortnite.

  • RobotHandsHess RobotHandsHess (@RobotHandsHess) reported

    Everyone, I’m sorry for all the Overwatch server problems and locked heroes. It’s 100% my fault. I started playing Hanzo and was just too strong that they had to nerf me. I take full responsibility and I apologize. 😞

  • ji_aun Mitski’s Morning Wood (@ji_aun) reported

    Overwatch 2 not working ….

  • Rain101TV Rain 101 (@Rain101TV) reported

    @Devil_23_Actual It's true, I remember this. That one was really bad. But this Overwatch launch is -game is broken -every fix just breaks it worse -extremely anti-consumer battle pass and monetization -utterly terrible communication from devs on any and everything related to launch issues

  • schwendigv9 Javon 💯👀 (@schwendigv9) reported

    Overwatch fix ya servers im tryna play competitive dammit 🥲

  • Korgzyx Baeloxy (@Korgzyx) reported

  • barnespls Barnes 💕 (@barnespls) reported

    As broken as it is, Overwatch is way more enjoyable than Apex right now... like I would rather take all the bugs vs. A game without any matchmaking...

  • rebugall Rebu (@rebugall) reported

  • SpaceDuckk Andrew 🦆 (@SpaceDuckk) reported

    @Soolvern @PlayOverwatch I have the same problem. I don't have the skins you get for the Origins edition of Overwatch (should be the same skins as GOTY).
