Overwatch 2 already proving how good of a live service game it is They've switched from looking at a screen to get into the game to looking at a screen waiting for a match. 30 min queue for quickplay smh

Is anyone else having issues with account merging on overwatch? It tells me my account is ready to merge and to close the game and wait a minute, but when I reopen the game it puts me in queue again? Anyone else? #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

@PlayOverwatch 3 days since release. 3 days full of problems. I bought Overwatch and I bought Overwatch 2 Watchpoint pack. I don't give a **** it's a free to play, I still bought the game and this is not acceptable at all. You guys are not an indie company. Stop fooling with us.

@BlizzardCS Hi, when I log into Overwatch 2 on Xbox I get the LC-208 or sometimes LC-202 errors, and the trouble-shooting steps didn't work. When I try to log in on PC I put in my account details but it kicks me back into a queue where I need to put my account details in again.

My favourite thing about overwatch 2 being a disaster is that I am exactly the kind of sucker who wants to and would spend stupid money on microtransactions and the game is so broken rn that I literally can't access the in-game store lol

Is it too much to ask for one Overwatch 2 match that doesn't kick me due to a "server error" today? Yikes.

So you earn 60 coins a week in Overwatch 2. A legendary skin costs 1900 coins. That means if you're playing f2p that it'll take you 32 WEEKS to get enough coins to buy a legendary skin... Fix your **** Blizzard. You got rid of loot boxes and implemented an even shittier system.

Overwatch 2 went from bad to even worse lmfao. Now there’s a chat glitch that’ll spend your money on micro-transactions, and blizzard DOESN’T refund MTX purchases… Worst launch of 2022 for any game.

So I spent both a lot of money and a lot of time in Overwatch 1, but because I didn't purchase the game myself that means I LOSE ALL OF MY **** AND HAVE TO UNLOCK ALL OF THE HEROES IN OVERWATCH 2????? It's really just one problem after another, huh? At least I can play now.

The game is unplayable at the moment. You can't find a match, at least on console. One issue after the other. Maybe it would be best to just take the game down to fix it. This is doing more harm than good as it is. #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

Got home excited to play some Overwatch 2 and it STILL won’t let me in on PS5. I had that half hour on release day but since then no luck. I’ll be seeing the LC-208 error message in my sleep at this rate 😭

Overwatch 2 on the other end is a multiplatform F2P game that has online multiplayer, but it has tons of problems, including longer wait times, unstable servers and locking unlockable characters behind paywalls, I won't rule out playing this, but will not anytime soon. (3/4)

So I downloaded the whole update for overwatch 2 and got the game logged in completely but it says my account needs merged to complete my battlepass purchase and I'm stuck in a loop with it saying to reset my account over and over again. Any way I can fix it? @PlayOverwatch
