Overwatch 2 is terrible. Blizzard still don't know how to balance a game. Orisa will be he new Brigitte problem. Moira is still stupidly unfun to play against. 5v5 and still is balanced as lowskill+high reward.

@ChaoticaCrisis Overwatch is the main cause of my anger issues at one point LMAO the game was just designed to be super annoying

@TheGreatZambon1 @haloofthoughts Paladins issue isn't 5v5 though. Paladins has poor servers, a tiny team working on it in comparison to Overwatch and a smaller fan base that leads to very unbalanced games. It's not a 5v5 thing for Paladins, it's a lack of money from Hi-Rez for Paladins

I am curious to see if others have been having this issue, but me and a friend have been finding that mouse movements in Overwatch 1 seem to be a lot smoother than in Overwatch 2 and is making aiming feel a bit weird. Any ideas @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch2

@colbyley1 @Hai to be honest, overwatch had no reason to do this, they ruined the balance of the game itself by listening to every possible complaint and applying most, it would only take a big patch or two to fix...but league of legends needs this, it's way out of date.

@DripBoolin Dude, Birdring in the overwatch league got fined only 1000 and his team made him issue a public apology. That's ******* ridiculous

@Halo Give HALO to ID Software or any of the CoD teams. They can fix this IP from the shitshow that its now. Or only leave it as a Single Player Story driven franchise. Overwatch 2, Splatoon 3 and MW2 will be the death of Halo Infinite.

@MarcoStyleNL @SirDimetrious Strict rock paper scissors balancing killed overwatch for me. Its slowly killing destiny, atleast in OW you can switch your kit without being punished too hard. It's not even like they have it down in PvE either; both game types are suffering from the exact same issues.

@JustClickNWatch I did have trouble at first but then when i went to overwatch and clicked game version it shows overwatch 2 tech beta so maybe tell them that if they got the four hours of watch time but may fith if they watch the overwatch league matches they get a chance for the beta

They've really got to fix the lighting in the next Overwatch 2 Beta... Everything is so... orange. Very hard to see red enemies on orange lol

@fast3ddy88 Real talk there really isn't much difference, it's overwatch 5v5 instead of 6v6 except it's a lot easier to kill, and a new game mode. Also new hero broken

@bacoon911 That's just not true, that's like saying you couldn't tell Mario 64 from Crash Bandicoot because the market was oversaturated with 3D platformers. I could use that same argument to say overwatch 1 blends in with other arena shooters.

Loving the Beta on a gameplay perspective aswell. Although I personally have quite some performance issues, (lag, sound delay and slow loading of animations) the game feels so much better then Overwatch 1. Iam already dreading to go back once the beta is closed.

@its_natclayton I just think if I'm really to believe that live service storytelling is worth anything over just playing curated narrative games, I need so much more than what Overwatch is giving. Even if I have my qualms with the style, the serial tv show method Apex has just works best.

Had sudden flashbacks to Hanzo Overwatch where I would literally just get bored and change classes because his arrows let me just kill everyone no problem at any range No idea why blizzard ever thought he was a good idea that man broke the game

@dilvcify and, just like overwatch, genshin will die either a horrible death and be overshadowed by an actually well-designed successor OR!! HOYOVERSE will pull their head out of their asses and fix some of the problems with the game

@GaretHelmken @itzsalty @Reinforce you (or your teammates) are trying to play overwatch 2 as overwatch 1, that's the problem. You shouldn't be expected to do anything of that in this new game

Played a couple of matches of OW2 then a few of OW1 and I unironically like OW1 more. Maybe when it comes out something changes but as is I think I'm done with Overwatch. I hate the fact there are no longer team fights in OW, they've broken the flow of the game.

@midniteseance Overwatch 2 is more of a panic button the moment Blizzard-Activision gets in trouble for whatever Its a series I intially respected but I feel heavily sorry

@BlizzardCS is there an issue with PlayStation controllers working on the Overwatch 2 Beta?

(@PajamaPajamaPa2) reported
@WightDwight @NateDawgBrony01 @DAWGTHISUMBRA This is also ignoring the shakeup that removing a Tank actually is towards making the game far more engaging for casual players, a key issue given how Overwatch 1's biggest problem was that it was effective: Q spam to win, and if you're coordinated win harder.

@DazzlingDazzaD Yeah, as a former overwatch fan (rip op roadhog, yes I was that piece of **** that played him when he was broken) And although the Microsoft acquisition is the best-case scenario (for the employees), won't change the fact that Kotick is walking out with half a billion to his name

Last night my addiction to overwatch formed again, problem is playing ranked feels impossible to get a win. 3 wins out of 10 placements is a joke, shouldn’t be a support getting the most kills and damage while also getting the most healing. What else can I expect though.

Sat in an overwatch comp queue half my team got disconnected due to server errors, so the enemy team decided to let us draw instead. .
