  And then, after that, I got on overwatch to play with some friends but I couldn’t. They were just crying in my ear the whole ******* time about some **** that happened. I don’t mind listening to issues, but there was no consent…I just wanted to chill

  @hzcomicfan @tenbino @MelonSaurus nah marvel fans are worse at least we overwatch fans are aware of our problems

  Ball isn't bad in Overwatch 2, you just have to be really good at him to get decent value (and be willing to switch when you can't). The problem is too many people *think* they are really good at ball

  Is it just me or is Overwatch comp broken because I swear either the team is not on my level or the enemies not to mention the fact I got place in the same rank even and winning seven and losing none

  @pickle8771 @BungieHelp Sadly I couldn't even log into the game all day yesterday. Yet Modern Warfare 2 and Overwatch 2 worked perfectly for me. I can barely play today. Constant error codes like baboon, weasel, centipede etc

  I don’t plan on exclusively making Overwatch content, but the next one will still be an Overwatch one, and I *think* unless YouTube allows me to poll subscribers that it’ll probably be about how many problems in Overwatch stem from the devs giving players incomplete information.

  @Blizzard_Ent Deleting overwatch until you fix it

  Overwatch 1 was way better than Overwatch 2 @Blizzard_Ent straight up ruined the whole competitive scene by 1 making the game free and 2 bringing in broken characters like Ramattra and Sojourn good job ruining the game

  overwatch ranked has got to be broken right now why am i, a silver 2 ana player, in a lobby with masters and grandmasters and when i do get my 7 to rank up i only go up 1 rank

  Man. Never seen Overwatch been more of an L in my entire life than the current state it's in. Fix the game and maybe it would be more fun for everyone.

  Les Vermisérables (@Vermontious) reported 21 minutes ago

  @VVaypoint As long as gameplay isn't locked behind Lootboxes I'm so ok with them. Overwatch 2 has this problem - no way to earn skins whereas the first let you get them through the boxes

  @leerobi08433142 @NextGenPlayer but stealing Call of Duty, Spyro, Crash, Diablo, Guitar Hero, Hearthstone, Overwatch, Candy Crush, Starcraft,Tony Hawk, Heroes of the Storm, and World of Warcraft is okay apparently.

  Just Another Chump (@DaigotheKing) reported 23 minutes ago

  Im still playing bc I like overwatch, but holy **** this game is demotivating me big time. Where is my incentive to buy into the dogshit battle pass system when this game is so ******* broken and unfun to play?

  @AlexanderWhos @ExeFrozen Lmfao arnt you the same person I saw begging to buy overwatch coins for 17$? I see you say how “I missed out on the glitch” now it’s the holidays you’re telling people who got a ban to eat ****. Get bent. I didn’t even do the glitch youre a hypocrite.

  I've narrowed the issue down, it looks like the PSU is drawing too much power with heavier CPU loads. Twice now I've had my full rec setup run fine with Overwatch 2, yet with Mechwarrios 5 both recordings caused a shutdown at this point when smashing through the buildings. (1/2)

  Overwatch 2 has an aimbot problem

• 
  Cornelius 'Zoom' Thompson (@CorneliusZoom) reported 29 minutes ago

  @MukiHyena I played Halo infinite (This would apply to any Halo anyway) after Overwatch and found that my aim improved with snipers and everything else I now sucked at using. I couldn't use snipers before. And I keep trying to use positioning in Halo, as if that ******* matters. I'm Broken.

  I feel my anger issues worsening in life, so naturally I gotta start playing overwatch and main healer to feel even more hatred and rage

  Overwatch 2, my experience.. Tried on day one and it wasn't working. Just tried again now and it's asked for 3 or 4 different hoops to jump through just to sign in. Page 1 do this, page 2 go here, page 3 sign in again. Deleted. ****, ******** off @Blizzard_Ent

  Soju (commissions open!) (@Soju_2) reported 41 minutes ago

  @Snppd_C I was playing ranked while this went on. I had ONE match where I didn’t lag or stutter, Fortnite & overwatch were completely fine it was just apex :/

• 
  Michael (@FMoneyMike) reported 42 minutes ago

  Never thought Overwatch would stoop so ******* low…Let’s add an extraordinarily broken character and put a paywall behind it. I don’t care if it’s a free game now, it’s the way they went about everything. Cringe

  Pompeii (@Pompeii_INIT) reported 42 minutes ago

  @LaM4ngo This is like when Blizzard listens to only the top tier 500 in Overwatch for nerfs. Overwatch 2 is a dumpster fire and they are just now fixing months long problems but most aren't even really good fixes and are just small Band-Aids on giant wounds at this point 🙄

  Just bullied a Widowmaker with Winston. She proceeded to call me the problem of Overwatch. I have NEVER felt so satisfied in my life.

  I swear the internet only has problems when I want to play overwatch. 🙄

  Lower back is a bit strainrd causing me to have a bit of a tummy issue. But ill try to stream some killer games in DbD as well as maybe some Overwatch 2 learning Rammatra

  Joker Jaden (@jaden_joker) reported 58 minutes ago

  What if @PlayOverwatch made a feature where everyday you login you get a certain amount of “overwatch coins” and that would help players get more skins instead of wasting so much money for like one skin. #Overwatch

  Chuma (@ChumaPG) reported 58 minutes ago

  @Claylex1 Been thinking on reinstalling TF2, problem is that really I feel fed up with that game, it became Payday 2 where you need items to be bought or dropped on to have loadouts, im OK with overwatch and Valorant skins. You can dm me your discord and steam, need new allies/friends!

  Woof (@woof_ow) reported 59 minutes ago

  There is no possible way to balance current overwatch, blizzard needs to release as many heroes as fast as possible. I dont care how op they are, the sooner we get more heroes the sooner they can add a ban system which would fix so many of the games problems.
