    @XxiKGixX Overwatch never had any progression just loot boxes which ppl spent a ton of wasted money on you can still unlock and buy stuff except it’s free or you know what your getting there are still events lol idk I get it’s blizzard it’s cool to hate them I just don’t see the huge issue

  • ThatPunkCatte V (@ThatPunkCatte) reported

    Biggest problem with competitive games like Overwatch and League is that you have players who don't know their arse from their elbow. Objective is King of the Hill? Yeah my entire team are playing artillery/long ranged champs so GG.

  • _fuzzyphantom_ Vero Maxis (@_fuzzyphantom_) reported

    I hate Overwatch players dude "Waaah Waaah Sombra is broken waaah I want 8 damage per bullet Sombra back" well surprise, a DPS hero finally dealing damage, whaaat? No way dude, how dare Sombra be a DPS and deal damage after being useless for 5 years compared to other DPS

  • IamLaLunaa Luna🫧🌙 (@IamLaLunaa) reported

    @tsacillim Gabes Overwatch keeps crashing so can’t even tell him to join us unless you know how to fix it lol

  • blazze_hs Blazze (@blazze_hs) reported from Greenville, South Carolina

    @BlizzardCS Fix competitive ranking, or give some indication of how it is done because I have seen streamers win 7 placements and get placed bronze 5. I have played overwatch for almost 6 years, it is sad that an already bad system was somehow made worse

  • Looksbetterinre Looksbetterinred (@Looksbetterinre) reported

    @bfg1963 @MutugiV @mackio_ What are they afraid of? Shouldn't the public see what service they are paying for? Shouldn't the public have overwatch in them? Buy a clue and go to the next round 😒

  • J1nkxx Jinkx (Taylor’s Version) (@J1nkxx) reported

    @vxarea_ @OffsaleOW @fullsquadgaming see the issue here is, i understand it with Apex and Warzone right, but in overwatch there are like 5 abilities that nullify everything else in the game on a 20 second cool-down, so slight aim tuning literally makes 0 difference to fairness when 1 button cancels 5 kits at once

  • SkyFox_E54 SkyFox (@SkyFox_E54) reported

    @M21kComm_Mng @AcidQueenOW Ty, the main problem I had with AA is it'll do things you as the player weren't expecting, without a doubt the further away you are from someone the harder it is, I tried warzone on console and it's painful against mouse... But for overwatch a lot of engagements are around chokes

  • AirborneFlamez Airborne Flamez (@AirborneFlamez) reported

    @jimb0nat0r higgldy piggldy lookin *** ************ i haven’t had to replace my huge **** controller in 5 years because it is UNBREAKABLE, your controller has been broken by *** you stinky overwatch player

  • asteroidera spiders kel (@asteroidera) reported

    @TBSkyen not sure how I feel about this… like everything about it is just “do you get he’s african inspired?? Do you do you?” kind of feels like it’s stumbling into Overwatch issues :/

  • jasnater88 Jason Smith (@jasnater88) reported

    @BlizzardCS I’ve played competitive matches for Overwatch 2 but it hasn’t recorded any data for them. Played over 7 matches for damage placements, no rank has been given. What’s the problem?

  • punished_pchan ark (@punished_pchan) reported

    i have every dva skin in the game. i viewbotted OWL for tokens to collect every player skin, got everything possible. I opt for the 'wave racer' skin because you can see her toes. every day, i login to overwatch and play dva for 6-8 hours after work. Then i ******** to dva porn u

  • No_Limit_Gamer Lord Jamar (@No_Limit_Gamer) reported

    @XxiKGixX Don’t play fifa and cod has always had hacker problems tbh as for overwatch I’m enjoying it just fine I don’t really have a problem with it’s model it’s no different then other f2p games and I think most ppl are overreacting or have fake outrage over it but that’s just my opinion

  • CodCrybaby COD Crybaby (@CodCrybaby) reported

    @TheGhostOfHope Before they leave for break they need an overwatch/fortnite removal system in case something is too broken again. Just remove it until they are back in after holidays.

  • DrFurryuser Dr.Furry 🥤 (@DrFurryuser) reported

    @halbirdd I played overwatch 2 and it is alright for me, except the queue problem bs

  • BrackenBuddha Brakkun (@BrackenBuddha) reported

    Now I understand they should probably fix the **** show of Overwatch Contenders first because that **** is…well…****, but at least PC has something to work towards, something to actually try for. As console…I mean…who cares right?

  • droca121 Droca (@droca121) reported

    i swear sojourn is just the most broken character in overwatch

  • Jox_in_a_Box Jox in a Box (@Jox_in_a_Box) reported

    @tajh256 Sounds like an Overwatch issue

  • RyanH1236 Ryan Huber (@RyanH1236) reported

    @muselk just watched the new overwatch video. Great content. I had the opposite issue I had every character but none of my skins and other issues. But j wanted to warn you bro… I won every single one of my comp placements as Zen in a row and placed in bronze 2. I was a high plat

  • bento_bongos Gaia Bentos (@bento_bongos) reported

    Overwatch gained a noteriety for the porn, instead of taking full advantage of it, the parent company, Blizzard, wants nothing to do with it despite OW2's many, MANY glaring problems. (seriously, even a transformers mobile game mentions kiss players! missed oppertunity)

  • GrimaHaverr Sephie☕️☁️ | STREAM: WONDER LiGHT i7 (@GrimaHaverr) reported

    I think its a lag or bug but sometimes in some of my overwatch matches, my weap turns gold??? LIKE I DONT WANNA BE UGLY TOO

  • bloodm0ther 𝔩𝔦𝔩 𝔠𝔲𝔱𝔱𝔥𝔯𝔬𝔞𝔱 (@bloodm0ther) reported

  • Crimnestro F1 Jase (@Crimnestro) reported

    @alxnso_priv It‘s probably because of how your sound input is in the settings. I had the same problem on F1 2021 and Overwatch

  • Sidd4_ THFC (@Sidd4_) reported

    @OverwatchEU Overwatch fix the competitive career profile on PS4. We can't see our stats or are time played this season. Or other peoples. This is a bug and it needs fixing.

  • stable_tony StableTony (@stable_tony) reported

    Grind for hours in @Overwatch 2 Go 7-1 in competitive see bronze 5 think to myself no way in hell, google find out a bug and impossible to get out of bronze atm posted 3 days ago, look at OW see nobody has said a word about it community pissed. Maybe fix and add a 3 after OW.

  • Erikas_xd ♡ Jinx ♡ (@Erikas_xd) reported

I press play it says "playing now" yet the game doesn't launch & it doesn't appear in task manager, i can't launch the game bcs it says "playing now" so i have to close battle net & then overwatch application through task manager

  • NaToSaphiX NaToSaphiX (@NaToSaphiX) reported

    @Greedz0rje Had this problem in Overwatch Was top 500 in Season 2 or 3 Left the game for years Came back season 9 or 10 Was consistently placed in Grandmaster 2 seasons in a row, even though I sucked **** since I didn’t even know the new heroes

  • BrightsideFPS Brightside | Josh 🌻💙 (@BrightsideFPS) reported

    @anas0_ali Exactly. Like yes, it isn't a good system. It's predatory as **** and sometimes really expensive. But right now it's only a problem because overwatch does it. It absolutely does not make sense whatsoever.

  • Hydro_SZN Eli Davis (@Hydro_SZN) reported

    Don't get an achievement while playing Overwatch 2. You'll get kicked from the server and won't be able to reconnect... Smh. @PlayOverwatch can y'all fix this already? Tired of getting free losses and a ban time because of this issue. @BlizzardCS

  • SkullPirateMike Mike Maynard (@SkullPirateMike) reported

    With Overwatch 2 being so broken, it's a good thing players can still play the original while they wait for it to be fixed. Oh wait.
