  • Tsonchi ⚡Tsonchi⚡ (@Tsonchi) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Bruh how about suddenly I have only 14 characters available to play with and I owned overwatch 1 since 2017 ?? Why do we have to constantly reque for every game mode that isn't QP in a 5 stack?? Fix your **** bruh

  • HeatherMasonfan i eat cigarettes (@HeatherMasonfan) reported

  • DuhWolf2 DuhWolf Gaming (@DuhWolf2) reported

    Overwatch 2 or something else, looks like something else... again... More problem with launch. Characters Locked for battle pass and OW1 owners. Can you at least update the customers? #overwatch #playoverwatch #BlizzardEntertainment 🤬

  • PPJtv Luke (@PPJtv) reported

    The Overwatch 2 glitch that locks all your characters is SO ****** CRINGE

  • Ch3ls3aRa3 Chelsea (@Ch3ls3aRa3) reported

    Hey. @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent I've been playing overwatch since it came out. I get new game issues and glitches. But it's absolutely absurd that I have to unlock a character I have over 200 hours on?? After buying a battle pass?? How do I fix this?

  • beckyjkl #1_Edelbert_hater (@beckyjkl) reported

    did anyone else who played overwatch one and linked their account have like half the roster locked, and does anyone know to fix it?

  • peachyflys peachy (@peachyflys) reported

  • MoiraPrime Moira Prime UwU (@MoiraPrime) reported

    Overwatch player: oh you're back early. how was the server maintenance? did you fix the locked heroes bug? Blizzard Sysadmin: servers' haunted. Overwatch player: what? Blizzard Sysadmin: *reloads pulse rifle and starts walking back into the server room* servers' haunted

  • MarcosC1676 Marcos Carrillo (@MarcosC1676) reported

    @PlayOverwatch And I'm a founder player so I love overwatch you guys are running around with your heads cut off I rather you take it down and fix it then all your half *** fixes get it right

  • ckunzelman cmrn knzlmn (@ckunzelman) reported

    I am experiencing the OVERWATCH 2 “get achievement, get disconnected” bug and I can confidently say it is the most feel bad game breaking error I have ever experienced.

  • Kalt_Hands very sleep (@Kalt_Hands) reported

    @Valcristerra I’m mean the whole thing of locking characters seems stupid to me say one character is just utterly broken and there’s a hero to counter it oh but wait it’s locked oh and it’s locked for people who played Overwatch 1

  • Helba_The_AI Helba (@Helba_The_AI) reported

    Dude at this point they should just remove the first time user experience from Overwatch 2 with the amount of problems it has caused

  • Bru8196 Darian 👻🎃 (@Bru8196) reported

    @HetSkinwalker @BigBoyGonkDroid @OWAnonymous_ Worst game mode is overwatch history and yes it is a skill issue

  • RelentlessMVP Relentless (@RelentlessMVP) reported

    All these overwatch players malding about hitscan but can we talk about Hanzo’s heat seeking logs he fires?? Lmao **** missed me and came back. Yo @PlayOverwatch fix this ****.

  • EmyriadGames Emyriad (@EmyriadGames) reported

    Man, it's like day 3 of the Overwatch relaunch and I've yet to successfully play a single game. My current favorite issue with the launcher is when it says "playing now" and then doesn't open anything. Friend is reporting most of their core characters are locked for no reason.

  • titan_wandering WanderingTitan (@titan_wandering) reported

    @BlizzardCS So overwatch 2, I had all characters unlocked and own the battle pass. Now half the roster is locked? Can you let me know how you will fix this?

  • legacyware Legacyware (@legacyware) reported

    @swallowablade I figured out the issue is that I cant run nvidia broadcast in the bg to enhance my audio - overwatch doesnt pay well with some nvidia products :<

  • Virsuzx Virsu (@Virsuzx) reported

    @MonricOW It’s not a sequel but that’s not really a problem it’s just silly, the servers Idek if that’s blizzards fault so not really a problem for overwatch imo, hero changes/5v5 are literally a W, only thing left is BP which is :/ but a necessary evil nowadays fr🤝game is still dogshit

  • 0Skyburst0 0Skyburst0 (@0Skyburst0) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Man I wish I could log onto overwatch 1.5 and have all my characters unlocked. ALL THE TIME! FIX YOUR GAME, why did you even launch this unprepared mess? You wiped out the first to replace it with this????

  • SHINO_DIOR Yoshino Kuroki (@SHINO_DIOR) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent what ******** is this??? i lost access to almost every character, i cant play any of my mains anymore, fix your **** ive been playing overwatch since the ow1 launch and it's really ******* hard to keep putting up with your **** **** *** company

  • jknmike Michael Rodriguez (@jknmike) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @OverwatchES Guys... what the heck?? This is beyond okay. The reputation of this game is going to get ruined with the constant arising of issues on this scale. Delayed release/launch, DDOS on the day of, and now half, if not more, for most people's roster missing.

  • c_oau BryanC (@c_oau) reported

    @PlayOverwatch imagine still having an awfull game where the tanks are still annoying and the main problem just like before. Why not just get rid of heal and tank classes and just give them all 200hp if everyones a DPS at this point? It's actually worse than overwatch 1. congrats

  • thommc18 TankingSUCKS (@thommc18) reported

    Have tried pretty hard to get back into Overwatch with OW2, but it’s damn hard to when it’s impossible to play and @PlayOverwatch don’t respond to a support ticket. Had fun with what little I got to play but outstanding issues have kept me from being able to go back.

  • murinaOW Murina | OW2!!! (@murinaOW) reported

    all my overwatch 2 heroes are locked now and reloading the game doesnt fix it anymore 😭 i was going to play comp...

  • FuwaFuwaDwagon 🔞Fluffy Dwagon Connie~ Vtuber 🏳️‍⚧️ (@FuwaFuwaDwagon) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent this is entirely unacceptable from a triple A company. Half the roster for overwatch 2 is locked for owners of overwatch 1 for so long now. You should have a dedicated team to fix these issues. This is insane.
