    the universe just doesn't want Overwatch 2 to happen Every time I celebrate an issue being fixed, another takes its place. Now, whenever a big fight happens, the latency shits itself and people are rubberbanding.

  • sv_wa18 ****** (@sv_wa18) reported

    Hello blizzard i have a problem with my account i connected my account in blizzard for kiriko skin when I connected my account and login into overwatch my stuff is gone and they gave me skin kiriko without my stuff how do i solve this problem? @Blizzard_Ent

  • mommysenna Abby mother (@mommysenna) reported

    Okay I don’t know if this is from the ddos attacks but almost EVERYTIME I get on overwatch half the characters are gone but sometimes there available (except the ******* the battle pass) but still it’s annoying cause I main Ashe and I can’t play her sometimes @BlizzardCS

  • ChrisGains91 Christopher Gains (@ChrisGains91) reported

    @DrFatNugz @63Aki16 @IGN What grocery store has ur personal info?? This is way different then a hospital lol this is a video game why in the world do we need to give personal info to a video game that already has a hacking problem lol like do y’all not have brains look at why overwatch dropped it

  • Tsunayoshi1987 Dante The Last TimeLord (@Tsunayoshi1987) reported

    @Morgi181 @OoohDebbie @PlayOverwatch Sure but was the quality on par with overwatch though... don't get me wrong.. I don't like it either.. but it only helps support the game so we get more content out of it.. My only real issue is that battle pass doesn't give you any coins back

  • GamingHeroTetsu Tetsuya Hikari@gacha hell 2022 (@GamingHeroTetsu) reported

    This is a two way street here and it always has been. You can shove Overwatch funkopops up your *** for all I care. I don't have a problem with that. What I have an issue with is when you assclowns think it's okay to praise a game, but think nobody is allowed to criticize it.

  • CooknCrystal24 _ (@CooknCrystal24) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ I don’t have a problem with it, a lot of the overwatch 2 reskins are better than some legendary skins

  • DaCloakedBoyo Cloaked (@DaCloakedBoyo) reported

    @L3g4cyS70RM @mersaddles @PlayOverwatch Dang man I wish I could say the same. Almost everyone is locked and I don’t even hero challenges to unlock them again. I owned the original overwatch so this shouldn’t even be happening. I’m just screwed out of playing my mains until they fix this

  • EdgerlyAlec A Wild Mantaur (@EdgerlyAlec) reported

    @BlizzardCS I want to be mad about another 4-hour maintenance and the continuing queues in WoW classic, but then I read through these poor Overwatch kids' problems, and I am almost thankful that that is all I am dealing with... jeez Blizz, y'all just can't do anything right..

  • theflameburst Shem (@theflameburst) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @ATVI_AB @PlayOverwatch FIX YOUR GODDAMN SERVERS REMOVE THE ******* QUEUE I WANT TO PLAY OVERWATCH 2 FOR ***** SAKE

  • SeekerOfPudding Afropanda (@SeekerOfPudding) reported

    I can't fully support Overwatch 2 until they: -explain how the ranking system works -rework matchmaking in comp -fix connection issues -Also remove role limits

  • stonermunchiess StonerMunchies (@stonermunchiess) reported

    Overwatch 2 Ranked is so broken. Please tell me how I can go 14-4. Get 30+ kills every game and yet I'm still in bronze 5?? nahhhh

  • HotelKaIifornia AHHlistair / aether HK 🎃 (@HotelKaIifornia) reported

    @JoopDaStupidMF Problem is he's not wrong. Blizzard is a **** company, and overwatch 2 made their already **** rep even worse. The battle pass and buying new heroes is a ****** idea, plus the queue and adding new coins for event skins is stupid

  • TGHRobertHanes Robert “Sorenzen” Hanes (@TGHRobertHanes) reported

    An even decent Genji right now feels like a problem in Overwatch lol

  • Helthurian Zach (@Helthurian) reported

    @MVRbozz67LC I've heard with Overwatch they're bending a bit. Service isn't really why they're doing it, it's more about identity verification and ensuring bans stick. Like I said, I'm mixed on the move. I understand it, but leaving out a portion of your player base is quite ******.

  • Blondeysama Paula Baumgrotz (@Blondeysama) reported

    @PlayOverwatch hey so I've been playing overwatch for a while and bought ow2 (some pack for like 30 something dollars) and I still have to do challenges to unlock my characters? I have all the old skins, so the passed over but not the characters 🥺 is this a known issue?

  • TopicLock Tropic (@TopicLock) reported

    @PlayOverwatch yall still need to fix error code (LC-208) i gotten suspended again when my game crash. make it like overwatch one where you can join back in the game this is the third time this happened. if yall have time to make character tweeks then you have time to fix this issue.

  • Pirateninja79 Frank of Geek Freaks (@Pirateninja79) reported

    One of the problems with early access is you play a game before the hype. I already played Overwatch 2 and at this point, I'm taking a break. But it just released and now I see a bunch of friends playing it. Weird sensation of modern gaming. Might be a PB here somewhere.

  • ChrisGains91 Christopher Gains (@ChrisGains91) reported

    @63Aki16 @IGN hackers are already a huge problem look at why overwatch stopped it why would I need to give a video game my personal info to play a video game make it make sense

  • junior4158 Curtis Harrison (@junior4158) reported

    @BlizzardCS please fix issue about phone number I’ve been playing overwatch since beta paid at that and due to someone using my number I can not play 2

  • SEPTiCpulse 😈 (@SEPTiCpulse) reported

    the problem with overwatch 2 being ftp is that i get a bunch of idiots on my team that don’t know how to play. the fact that i do more damage than the actual dps players as a healer makes no sense. stop rushing in there without a team. @PlayOverwatch

  • Froakz Froakz (@Froakz) reported

    I was upset on missing the overwatch 2 start up but now after see everyone constantly have issues I am happy I can’t play it I would just ruin my mood trying lol

  • luvdocmd luvdoctormd (@luvdocmd) reported

    @CloverWzy I had the same issue but it's when I switched off from Overwatch to Apex. OW was fine but Apex on stream was horrible but in game it's fine.

  • Zombie719 Philip K (@Zombie719) reported

    Man, it really feels like they should have delayed Overwatch 2. The amount of bugs, issues, and how unstable it is makes it feel like an unfinished game. On top of the battle pass issues, monetization of items that were free, and missing maps, it feels wrong. Stay safe everyone.

  • myo_nina C. Nina Myo aka Nymmzie (@myo_nina) reported

    @MastertheShade @Blizzard_Ent @Activision Blizzard implemented a SMS verification for battle net servers to even play Overwatch 2. They made it so if you do not have contractual obligation to a major cell service your number won't be accepted.

  • severelea 🏳️‍🌈SevereLea🦇 (@severelea) reported

    Anybody else having issues with Overwatch 2 crashing their OBS?

  • leftclicktv Rishwajeet Singh (@leftclicktv) reported

    Can't believe I'm missing lootboxes after being forced to use the battlepass system lol. Monetization of live service games is tough, but the team at Blizzard really needs to tweak their reward/time ratio for Overwatch

  • RoneZoner RoneZoner (@RoneZoner) reported

    More Lc-202 errors in Overwatch 2 and now I'm being penalized in Quick Play. I've been playing this game for less than a week and I feel like playing the game is almost not even worth my time. I get it, if the game itself doesn't want me playing then I'll go and play Fortnite.

  • davis99_c CDavis99 (@davis99_c) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Though I do think they should give you more coins to unlock in the premium pass . I’m just happy to have free cross play overwatch and all my old stuff back from a different platform. They will fix all the bugs soon but when it works it’s phenomenal.

  • ObrienRuins Alex "Free ya boy" Caruso (@ObrienRuins) reported

    Swear people on overwatch 2 just complain about everything, people were LEGITIMATELY saying cassidy is broken/overpowered. I have nothing nice to say to them, so I wrote a tweet about it.
