    @danneedshugs Overwatch is free, cosmetics are optional as in any other game. I don't see the problem.

  • Arisuta28 Alistair (@Arisuta28) reported

    @IdleSloth84_ Honestly, at this point I don’t care about COD that much. They’ll still make money from Playstaion users. I care about the other games; Diablo, WWW, Overwatch, Spyro, Guitar Hero, Crash… etc. so much other franchises that can make new games exclusive to draw in new customers.

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch there is a huge problem with the competitive system. I play with 2 of my friends every day. We are playing comp and we havent won a single game in like 5 days. The comp system is so broken. We were silver gold and plat last season. We were thrown back to silver and gold

    BREAKING NEWS There will be a Fix On Characters In Halfway Season 2, I can really see why Symmetra is really broken right now, Upsetting Players #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • Anime_Police Hiroshi Katuza: SH2 Brainrot (@Anime_Police) reported

    I think the overwatch community needs to think because im seeing the worst takes of my life. No way you look at sojurn still being strong and blame mercy for it? If its the beams fault then by default every dps character should be hard meta with her. The problem is still soj.

  • WandaDimitrescu baylee 🌻 (@WandaDimitrescu) reported

    And they just took our willingness to stick it out, wait for overwatch 2, just to spit in our faces repeatedly. And the rewards for playing so much, as much as they want us to? They’re not worth it when the game isn’t enjoyable. Please fix your game. @PlayOverwatch.

  • UncleBenOW UncleBen (@UncleBenOW) reported

    I drifted away from Overwatch once or twice during the content drought. But oh my ******* god how did they mess up the game this bad. Every damn game is Doom or Hog just playing solo and 9 other people just watching, It's so boring fix your game @PlayOverwatch its not that hard.

    Opening up History in Overwatch 2 causes your game to crash.

  • gust8bit Gustavo (@gust8bit) reported

    @BlizzardCS My friend got his Overwatch 2 account completely reset after he connected with twitch to receive the free drops. He plays on Xbox and is very upset, because he brought the latest 2 Season Pass. Is there any way to fix this? Did he lose everything for good?

  • Viytul Viytul (@Viytul) reported

    Bro @PlayOverwatch plz fix this mouse bug! Everytime I go idle running Overwatch in the background I come back to my mouse messing up and I have to reboot my pc or somehow open Overwatch 2 again for my mouse to work.

  • musgo_the BehindTheMusgo (@musgo_the) reported

    @danneedshugs Overwatch is free, the comets are optional as in any other game. I don't see the problem.

  • Cameron94578174 Fraudulent Hill (@Cameron94578174) reported

    Why is overwatch simply not working? Like every game a mfer DC’s at the start

  • shimnada ℋ. (@shimnada) reported

    ⠀ 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 is why he goes solo, jack. 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘰 mean 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 trouble, 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 bodies, 𝘯𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴. he should’ve declined overwatch’s advances when he still had the chance. should’ve continued to stay in 𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨. ⠀

  • NotPatrick NotPatrick.com (@NotPatrick) reported

    At the airport waiting for my plane; I’ve been away from my PC for 12hrs, and I am missing Overwatch terribly. I’m trying to cope by doing Zenyatta orb movements with my hands but it’s not working. Besides the sound effects I’m voicing out are no replacement for the real thing.

  • FeliksLart FeliksLart🔞 (@FeliksLart) reported

    I’ve been also debating how to manage this account Problem with having an art account known for fanart is that OC art will often go unnoticed,, Idk I equally wanna draw more Overwatch fanart and OCs but idk if you guys would be on board with that

  • HavokFH Havok ⚔️ (@HavokFH) reported

    @YuiJim1 There used to be a glitch where you could shoulder bash out of the map on Overwatch, dont think it works anymore tho

  • badguy974 badguy974 (@badguy974) reported

    @GernaderJake i totally agree, but then my "issue" is apparently every game with ranked (IE, COD, Overwatch, LOL, Apex, etc) do SBMM "ranked". If it's just the norm, their must be some reason, and we cant expect Destiny to buck the industry.
