  • JuJuTheBall JuJu (@JuJuTheBall) reported

    @SkoochLoL Brigitte from overwatch. Was broken all the time

  • nib95_ NIB (@nib95_) reported

    @Mr_InfernoGamez @JezCorden Doesn't need to be the life or death, it, along with other tentpole IP Activision own (Overwatch, Diablo, Crash etc etc), need to be enough to seriously hamper competition in long term, not just for Sony, but any new/existing market entrants, be it cloud, subscription gaming etc.

  • Av00x Al8🃏. (@Av00x) reported

    @BlizzardCS I linked my Overwatch 1 account to Overwatch 2, and then I had a problem, everything I had in Overwatch 1 is gone, I don't know what happened, can you help me?

  • Whitey_OW Whitey (@Whitey_OW) reported

    @A2Ziegler Damn they just didn’t have mercy on you did they. But seriously, like what’s the problem with your pfp, it’s just mercy in casual clothes. We need more of that in Overwatch

  • BerryKGN_ BKGN (@BerryKGN_) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Please bring back Overwatch 1, as a whole this game is broken. Ranking system, heroes, and so many more things which make me not want to play Overwatch 2.

  • TragicFeint TragicNeko (@TragicFeint) reported

    Thanks guys for hanging out in stream! Did Phas for a majority of the time then finished out on Genshin, the broken sleep cycle caught up to me by the end though and I was very sleepy lol I'll start on Overwatch next one unless something else comes up!

  • cjbradley17 Cjbradley118 (@cjbradley17) reported

    @Bonfire5th I'm getting the new MW2 Friday which is the first cod in years I've brought but I'm Into anything that's good for me, gave overwatch 2 a good go but because of how broken the ranked system is I'm locked in silver but that's a hella long story in itself

  • OmegaAce_ Rob Hein (@OmegaAce_) reported

    Season 2 needs to not just have Rammatra and the new map it needs to have way more added. Borders, on fire meter, 2 CP but reworked,support changes, 1500 coins in battle pass, lower prices in shop, free skin challenges like in Overwatch 1 and fix competitive.

  • IkariV2 jayden (@IkariV2) reported

    overwatch is so boring how have they not addressed the issue with the game STILL how has sojourn managed to get past the patch notes again like even league and dbd had better balance and thats like unheard of

  • flamesofnyx caleb (@flamesofnyx) reported

    like league can have a new patch every 2 weeks cause they have 150+ characters meanwhile in overwatch (val has this issue too) can only do so much, but OW should have released way more characters by now it’s ridiculous

  • Skyford_Arts Skyford 🦇 - 4/5 Slots Available (@Skyford_Arts) reported

    I'm so frustrated with my rank in overwatch 2, got promoted twice and stayed at platinum 3 @PlayOverwatch fix this rank system please

  • PixelPanda005 Pixel Panda (@PixelPanda005) reported

    @AtriksOW @HoshizoraOW Like the slight utopia we had with the late balance of overwatch it was and sounds great! However, you can’t justify the fact that it makes the game no money and blizzard would inevitably shut the servers down. It was getting stale & people were leaving it makes queue times ***.

  • nib95_ NIB (@nib95_) reported

    @Mr_InfernoGamez @JezCorden Doesnt need to be the life or death, it, along w other tentpole IP Activision own (Overwatch, Warcraft, Diablo, Crash etc), need to be enough to seriously hamper competition long term, not just for Sony, but any new/existing market entrants, be it cloud, subscription gaming etc.

  • MrJInsanity MrJ_Insanity (@MrJInsanity) reported

    I think someone should try and hack just the shop in overwatch lets see how fast blizzard fix that compared to them to taking out heros for 2-3 weeks at a time and if that patch delayed

  • Av00x Al8🃏. (@Av00x) reported

    @ATVIAssist I linked my Overwatch 1 account to Overwatch 2, and then I had a problem, everything I had in Overwatch 1 is gone, I don't know what happened, can you help me?

  • RossCastro Ross Castro (@RossCastro) reported

    @mon_loch @monsterhunter I personally have no problems with cosmetic DLC as long as it's priced appropriately and not implemented in a predatory manner. Buying some goofy layered armor for a few dollars is fine for me. Spending $30 in Overwatch 2 for a seasonal skin is ridiculous.

  • Badoverwatch2t1 Badoverwatch2takes (@Badoverwatch2t1) reported

    Widow is not that guy. If you are having issues with a widow just flank them like 3 times. Most will rage and switch. Including me. I too will rage if I’m being bullied when I’m widow. So you know I speak facts. #Overwatch #Overwatch2 #widowmaker

  • nighttrain2109 Nighttrain (@nighttrain2109) reported

    Can’t wait for warzone 2 to be just like overwatch 2. The same game with barely better graphics and minimal changes. We love live service games baby!

  • jrawly_ Jrawly (@jrawly_) reported

    @DHG_Knight Overwatch 2, Albion Online, Diablo 3… Anything with online servers will have launch issues because the size of the server is set for the player base and not launch player count. I think it’s something like 180% max players during launch of games

  • PerroBshoza 🅱️shoza 🐶 (@PerroBshoza) reported

    @cudsbrokenheart @TheRelaxingEnd i think i spent around 10 000h playing games eith SBMM like LoL CSGO R6 Overwatch etc and i think a game where there is no pop off happens like 1 in 10 games, imo everyone is overreacting and focusing on wrong issues with the game

  • Joseocasio18 Jose ocasio (@Joseocasio18) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hello I have tried opening a ticket for my problem but you guys keep closing it without addressing the problem. I connected my overwatch account with my PSN account and the skins wont transfer over to my PC.

  • Fstein_Gaming 🍂 Frankenstein_Gaming 🦃 (@Fstein_Gaming) reported

    Claimed the Dragon Kite Pet via Twitch Drops after watching for 4 hours. Claimed 11 hours ago & still no drop in game :( Yes I have had my Battle Net linked to Twitch. I've made claims for Hearthstone, Diablo, Overwatch before etc. @Warcraft @BlizzardCS Please fix this!

  • jingomaheel bruv (@jingomaheel) reported

    @facts_etc @multiversus you’re just wrong but ok. name a single game that doesn’t follow the 20$ legendary skin guide i’ll wait (fortnite, overwatch, league, etc) COMPLAIN ABOUT A REAL ISSUE. you don’t have to buy a skin if you don’t want to boss

  • xxLouBearx 𝕷𝖔𝖚𝕭𝖊𝖆𝖗 (@xxLouBearx) reported

    @realmagicstu @PatchiieGames Oh I looked at some of his streams even some texts in overwatch game chat and if he's comfortable saying the word r**e then it is going to be his issue why he can't get the viewers not other women

  • knights_stormy StormyKnights (Tales of Your Mom) (@knights_stormy) reported

    I've stopped playing overwatch comp until they fix their matchmaking, and honestly I'm having a lot more fun in quick play

  • Maxiethunder_ Maxiethunder (@Maxiethunder_) reported

    When even junglers start saying the role is broken you know its doomed, who wants to play some Overwatch with me? XD

  • m1xzg Robert McKenzie 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 💙💛 (@m1xzg) reported

    hey @Blizzard_Ent, on behalf of all casual Overwatch player, I have to say your match making in game sucks ***!!!! It's horrible. Fix that ****!

  • CreepysirromTTV Creepysirrom (@CreepysirromTTV) reported

    Hello @PlayOverwatch , I did receive skins of the overwatch league but i'm afraid i received only the 3 first skins which would mean that I watched only 3h . The problem is I know for a fact that i watched way more than this, so I would like to know why and could I have theskins

  • kefrenguz Kefren 🎮 (@kefrenguz) reported

    @ArturoRdzz @klobrille But It's affected too. If PS and Xbox have the "best seller" game, why leave Nintendo out? And games like Overwatch, Doom, Diablo, Crash, are on Switch. And we had before the COD franchise on Nintendo consoles too.

    the phrase “skill issue” has caused irreversible brain damage to the overwatch community i’m so serious
