    @puppyegf Should put you on a leash and restrain you from Overwatch 2 until they fix their matchmaking

  • anthony256 Anthony Garreffa ⭐⭐⭐ (@anthony256) reported

    @HardwareUnboxed RTX 4090 FE in my main rig on all day, 4-5 hours of gaming sometimes (Overwatch 2) without a single issue. COLORFUL iGame RTX 4090 Vulcan OC-V same thing, less gaming time, but it has been POUNDED and it's totally fine. CM PSU with extended power connectors, again no issues.

  • REALQrustum Firdi (@REALQrustum) reported

    @Natejesty @Stylosa The difference is free skins in league, no BP in a Game That does Not make sense? Overwatch BP Most retarded thing ever. Well we have 4 skins for you oh you do Not Play a Single champ well thats Not our Problem. In a Game where the Char has no impact its fine like fortnite or cod

  • Sole_Fuzion Sole Fusion (@Sole_Fuzion) reported

    @BlizzardCS Address the overwatch lc-208 error consoles players have been getting since the new update

  • kevin_thusi A Saucy Peasant (@kevin_thusi) reported

    @ImMadnessTV Unlike Apex, playing Overwatch doesn't feel like a chore. It doesn't feel like you need to sweat in every single game mode that you're playing and I think that's the issue Apex has. There's no "casual play" in Apex anymore. Whether you're in ranked, pubs or an LTM

  • Wes_Hall_ Titanshadow (@Wes_Hall_) reported

    @NaughtyDogInfo If it's more like a fortnite model and not overwatch 2, no problem to me.

  • confusedpleeb • amber (@confusedpleeb) reported

    @bloowai And I come from apex where shits expensive like this but its the norm. The problem is, though, is that apex still has lootboxes for normal cosmetics. Overwatch expecting us to get what used to be free things with irl money is crazy

  • GAVIN00006 Gavin (@GAVIN00006) reported

    @_Dennes_ I don't see why they didn't just keep the loot box system and add the battle passes to compensate for it being free to play now. Its just way too much for a game like overwatch, and other games have this problem too. Yeah it's only cosmetics but just ugh

  • RyanBraunschwe1 Ryan Braunschweig (@RyanBraunschwe1) reported

    You’d think blizzard would fix the overwatch servers so people could get on and buy the overpriced skins they added lol

  • JakeSmi96996979 Jake Smith (@JakeSmi96996979) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch my game is bugged it won’t let me loads it please fix ur ******* game

  • C0NTENTING ashley (@C0NTENTING) reported

    @Arooneos @AlooPuriEnjoyer rank in overwatch 2 is broken , they give Potato's higher ranks then they should be in

  • Nrg1229 Noah (@Nrg1229) reported

    @Zakguard I think the biggest issue is that when you are against someone vastly better than you in any game, you just aren’t allowed to play the game anymore. I come up against a top 500 overwatch player who can one tap anything that moves just isn’t fun. And there’s no way of preventingit

  • Ahsan_786_ Ahsan (@Ahsan_786_) reported

    For those who are having the LC-208 error on overwatch 2. I fixed it by installing pc version, logging in and then trying the console version again! It works! Blizzard wont help you! Let me know if it worked for you! Cheers

  • Chxrm93 Layton (@Chxrm93) reported

    @Rooflemonger It's an easy fix. Casual mode with no sbmm, and make Ranked mode actually good with sbmm. Games like Valorant and Overwatch do this really well, I don't know why CoD doesn't have bronze, silver, gold ranks etc

  • mulancholy1 mulan 🌷 (@mulancholy1) reported

    Overwatch 2 rejoin system is SOOOOO **** cause i lost connection then pressed rejoin match and it just kicked me out for suspension... like fix your damn game

  • teh_webbo Web (@teh_webbo) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN LC-208 issue again on Overwatch 2, is this being looked in? Was fine 2 days ago but since the new update, haven’t been able to get back on the game (console). Any update you can provide or solution?

  • SimonRK1 M⊕r✞IS.R.K 🇦🇹 (@SimonRK1) reported

    @OrdinaryGamers My problem with SBMM is that in practice it doesn't work that well, I both stomp and get stomped more often in games that have SBMM (Overwatch, R6S) compared to games like CS:Source or Team Fortress 2 community servers that have no SBMM and instead a server browser.

  • imagaywizard chloey (@imagaywizard) reported

    Im actually concerned as tohow much stuff is broken in overwatch right now,,

  • ChrisHs22 AshMamba22 (@ChrisHs22) reported

    I’m so mad I can’t play overwatch. Didn’t realize I misspelled my email address. Tried to fix it and made a bigger mess of it… now I have to wait and contact @Blizzard_Ent to see if they can help me out with my account

  • n1kko_n Nikola Ivanov (@n1kko_n) reported

    @TheK2lly first sentence and i thought it was an overwatch post, zarya is ******* broken atm

  • RickPriestman86 Ricky Lee (@RickPriestman86) reported from Bridgwater, England

    @FGMuffins What a mess lol, I used to really enjoy playin this game especially solos, now even doing the dailies is painful, I'm slowly moving over to overwatch 2, Season-9 doesn't excite me at all & if all these problems continue into the next season, I guarantee the game will be gone

  • KillWilI72 Killiam William 72nd (@KillWilI72) reported

    I'll say it, Overwatch lootboxes weren't even bad. Other games like BF2 and Fifa ruined it for everyone. Now look, skins for events would've been free now you gotta pay $20 for a skin. I don't necessarily see a problem with paying for exclusive skins just to be clear.

  • trabadisima |`*⛓🦇ғʀᴀᴀᴀɴ🦇⛓*`| (@trabadisima) reported

    El Overwatch 2 fue un error.

  • foonerism foon (@foonerism) reported

    Overwatch made the original junkenstein modes so damn hard this year lol I used to be able to breeze through expert no problem just by playing cass or hanzo but now junk is one hsotting me the instant he spawns

  • SussusA74628782 *** (@SussusA74628782) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Whenever I log into overwatch 2 I instantly get disconnected any reason why or how I can fix this?

  • KarasuYeen Karasu カラス | PNGtuber (@KarasuYeen) reported

    Hot take maybe but the only reason Overwatch 2 is bad is the predatory microtransactions, Zarya and Sojourn. Fixing these three issues would make the game feel so much more healthier to play.
