  • Codeword_Havoc Codeword (@Codeword_Havoc) reported

    Graphic update did my scenes in. It’ll just take a little to fix it and then I’ll be live with some Overwatch!!

  • ThisFireBurns__ AyyLiamaoo (@ThisFireBurns__) reported

    @NihilistSaberYT @SMii7Y Fortnite kids will still play every game like it's fortnite after all these years*. It's a problem with every game currently especially in crossplay, Apex, Halo, Battlefield, Overwatch, even ******* Counter Strike now. If a player can't hit their shots on PC they just spam jump.

  • AbsentBabyDaddy absentbbdaddy 😈💯 (@AbsentBabyDaddy) reported

    Overwatch 2 still not letting me sign in

  • WaySide46 WaySidePanda46 (@WaySide46) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Heya, So I have a problem. I logged on to my Overwatch Account and Notice that 200 of my League Tokens have disappeared. I have not purchased anything with them, and the support site isn't really helping in terms of how to fix this. Is this a bug?.

  • NEWTlNGS 𝕵𝖔𝖘𝖊 🅴 (@NEWTlNGS) reported

    overwatch wack! they really let us play 2 vs 5 on competitive? @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch FIX YOUR ****

  • ElizasThighs WHERE IS PLANET FITNESS (@ElizasThighs) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Day 11 of asking for Gyro/Motion Controls on PlayStation controllers for Overwatch (fix item shop prices too)

  • zachary5695 Zachary5695 (@zachary5695) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Signing up for accounta, phone numbers, customer service, etc. You've gotta be the worst company in the world for it. Honestly the amount of effort I've put in to play overwatch just so you can't verify my phone number is insane. Your company seriously sucks.

  • Itzmagic079 Natz♡ (@Itzmagic079) reported

    @PlayOverwatch you need to fix your game. Why tf does Hog have 700 heath, he can heal himself, and insta kill with his hook? Why are you changing Sombra to the point where she's basically useless instead of changing her back to how she was in Overwatch 1.

  • 8lue_Dra6on Daedric Abyss (@8lue_Dra6on) reported

    @MAJ0RGG I never thought I'd complain about hitscans in a game... I could never play them and I used to think that Widowmaker in Overwatch wasn't broken. Mainly because I like to go braindead and face-tank things. But hell, I could not move when being shot at!

  • Chewguh chooga 🎤 (@Chewguh) reported

    did blizzard fix the bug where the game crashes your entire pc when you launch overwatch 2 or no?

  • Chaddiekins ✨No Ball Wonder ✨ (@Chaddiekins) reported

    Playing apex and tbh I haven't complained of lag one bit today. Idk if that is server improvement or the map or my ISP but give thanks. Still gonna get into more overwatch tho

  • GooseGaymes Goose (@GooseGaymes) reported

    Okay now that Overwatch is free to play, imma need to see some more women in this Overwatch League because a paywall could have led to a discoverability issue, but there's really no excuse now.

  • CurtisColtonV2 Curtis ColtonV2 (@CurtisColtonV2) reported

    For people having issues with the Overwatch League drops, I'd recommend logging in on a different gaming console. I mainly play PC but downloaded OW2 and logged into Xbox to see if I got the Carbon Fiber Pharah Skin and ended up claiming 500 League Tokens out of nowhere lul

  • CousinTerryo Scary Terry 🎃 (@CousinTerryo) reported

    The only thing I can think I'm the only one affected out of my friends is because I played Overwatch originally on my PS4 and now linked my accounts on my PC. FIX. THIS. I JUST WANT TO PLAY COMP. It's ridiculous that yall punish people for "leaving" unranked/quickplay games

  • _fwzfhmy panda (@_fwzfhmy) reported

    hey @BlizzardCS @Blizzard_Ent could you please fix ranked bronze 5 bug? I still stuck Bronze 5 for 4 times now? could you please check it out or something 👉👈 or I will uninstall Overwatch 2?

  • LegacyKillaHD Michael (@LegacyKillaHD) reported

    Love how these AAA live service multiplayer games launch with atrocious monetization features (Halo Infinite, Overwatch 2, etc.) & simply go "WHOOPSIE" when they face extreme backlash for being greedy, acting like they weren't at all testing the waters. We see what you're doing.

  • IvanFKaramazovT Ivan Karamazov (@IvanFKaramazovT) reported

    @Separer Everything that boosts lunge has to be reworked because of P2P problems. This game shouldn't have teleporting lunges, and also why do melees deal 100dmg? Overwatch and Apex melees deal 30 and have no lunge!

  • TylerCorey16 RockSand24 (@TylerCorey16) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent overwatch 2 is so broken and full of terrible abilities, I actually had to drown my hamster in my nephews sink.

  • Dakiis_ 𝐃𝐚𝐤𝐢🇺🇦 (@Dakiis_) reported

    So I got about 9 hours of overwatch league skins and 60 tokens but I've been watching for around 22 hours. I don't really care about the skins because they put out on nov 15 but they didn't say anything about tokens. @overwatchleague please fix the tokens

  • Rathbaume Rathbaume (@Rathbaume) reported

    @Halo If @PlayOverwatch takes this long to fix itself it’ll literally be a “dead game” like overwatch 1 was not long ago…

  • HazuTeuthis Hazu Teuthis 🦑😎 | ENVtuber (@HazuTeuthis) reported

    Surf’s Up! Streaming sometime within the next three hours for some Overwatch 2! Comp is broken, but wanna get those golden gun points, so we continue our climb (although last time it dropped me FAR)! #VTuber #VTuberEN

  • lexasjamie caitlyn perry (@lexasjamie) reported

    genji and mercy are the ahri/yasuo of overwatch just ugly and fanboys service

  • xLexed xLexed (@xLexed) reported

    @andrew_jrt thats a video game issue not a overwatch issue

  • MooseYUH Moose (@MooseYUH) reported

    First Bastion and now Mei. The overwatch team needs to be publicly castrated its should NOT TAKE 2 ******* WEEKS TO FIX PEOPLE STANDING ON A WALL

  • FR3DFOSSIL FR3D (@FR3DFOSSIL) reported

    I recommand, Do not buy blizzard game. Once they had serviced Destiny2 but now... Once they had serviced OverWatch but now... Do not buy games in blizzard battle net app, they probably stop service and delete game. #Blizzard #dontbuy

  • Sxrynity_ Sxrynity | 🌘 . 🌒 (@Sxrynity_) reported

    Overwatch, why ******** do I get into games and get disconnected and get a ******* penalty for not being able to get in? This is the only game I lag this ******* badly

  • WHIPodcastKeith Bagging, Boarding, Boxing (@WHIPodcastKeith) reported

    Just a reminder that Mei was only removed from Overwatch 2 due to a combination that requires Kiriko and Blizzard can’t remove Kiriko without admitting the character they built the whole game release around is broken.

  • GaymerKarl GaymerKarl (@GaymerKarl) reported

    Due to issues with error code WS-113926-2 on my PS5, my Overwatch Twitch drop stream will be delayed 24 hours. It will now be at 00:00 GMT on 03/10 (20:00 EST 02/10) @PlayOverwatch @Twitch @PlayStation

  • ZenBooda1 ZenBooda1 (@ZenBooda1) reported

    Anybody know a fix to the top 500 bug in Overwatch? I felt like I tried everything
