Short version: I played Overwatch 2 so you don't have to. You'll hear a lotta people say it's a totally different experience, or a totally upended, completely new game. It's uhhhh not. It sure is Overwatch though, and that's sorta my main issue with it. Let's get detailed!

@ItsPeepance i tried it just to see what the hype was about cuz i saw everything blow up about overwatch 2, its pretty much exactly the same as it was, i'd say they killed the original game with the years of no updates because making 2 but it was a trainwreck filled with issues from the start

Bastion looks so broken in Overwatch 2. Tell me now, how the Shield he had in the Beta for the first game was OP?

@MachCoyote Actually that's not correct at all, most games have (at least default to) a framerate cap despite V-sync. All source games are 300 or 400 by default, Overwatch only goes up to 300-400, etc. Not having that is a problem that should be addressed and isn't normal.

This is an Overwatch launching against more entrenched competitors - several of which are free and have 800-1000 people dedicated around the clock to keeping them updated - and having already broken the trust of a lot of people who felt burned by the last one.

Why did you turn Overwatch into a scuffed COD?! We liked the game because it wasn’t a brain dead FPS. Fix this now - All support players. @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch2

@KingNullBoi1 @DMG100_ A fix for some. An easy solution to this issue appears to be making sure Overwatch is installed, and booting it up. Once open, simply close the game, click the Globe next to Game Version, and change your region to Europe. Then boot up to the start menu again.

why does anyone think overwatch 2 gonna be good or different from the first. the first game was good and the company trashed it with terrible updates, also the same company that was in the spotlight for terrible HR issues a few months ago. goldfish brains or smthn

If this is the way Overwatch 2 is going to feel like, you can count me out. OW1 isn't perfect, but to make this game more like a Team Deathwatch instead of a tactical team-based shooter is such an error by the devs that tank/support players (like me) will leave.

I love Overwatch, but the problems it has and now the fact there is only one tank. This game is way too hard.

overwatch is still unplayable on my pc. I've done everything I can think of to fix it. restarting my pc, reinstalling ow, updating drivers. hopefully repairing the game does something bc it hurts sitting in discord listening to my friends having fun in the beta

alright so, @PlayOverwatch my problems and opinions on Overwatch 2! A thread. I play on an ultrawide 21:9 monitor. The whole game has these really thin black lines on the left and right. Im pretty sure this is unintentional Also, “While you wait” doesnt fit in the box properly.

Explaining frogger tweets
(@FroggersTweets) reported
@FroggerOW Frogger is expressing a problem many supports have been feeling, including prominent streamers such as sleepy. Basically, blizzard forgor to make any changes to support, making support play become boring really quickly, even in the brand new Overwatch 2.

Overwatch 2 beta has it’s issues but the real problem is the lack of redesigns in the game.

Ppl keep overlooking the fact that overwatch 2 will have like no stuns anymore. Anybody I see **** talking the game saying “oh it’s just OW1” ever mentions that fact, ppl need to start realizing OW2 is basically a huge fix for all the bs OW has been through the past 3-4 years.

Overwatch 2 so far still hasn't fixed the ongoing problem of people not wanting to play support enough to result in reduced DPS or (sometimes) tank queues.

Not reworking zen on overwatch 2 is gonna cause a lot of problems. I can’t believe the devs think he is in a ok place to not touch. Healer diff every game someone gets him

CrossRaven
(@CrossRaven) reported
Maybe, I am wrong though. Overwatch 1 got into this bad state where GOATS happened and then after that we ended up in CC and shield hell and maybe only massive changes to the gameplay could fix that. Either way, they let their game die for this and I am not sure it's worth it.

@pcgamer Support in general is broken, and the beta is not fun. 2k hours in Overwatch since 2016 and I'm done when this crap goes live.
