  • Maximas52 Maximas5 (@Maximas52) reported

    Reinstalling windows in the hopes that this will keep overwatch from crashing my gpu. If this doesn’t work it’s likely a hardware issue :/

  • kwithpy kwithpy 🍩 (@kwithpy) reported

    Hey @BlizzardCS - Overwatch 2 crashes if I try opening my career profile's history without playing any games first. It has been like this for over a month. Can we expect a fix in the next patch?

  • ShadowCressy Crescent (@ShadowCressy) reported

    @OverwatchNaeri Looking back at it now, I had this skin day one when it dropped in Overwatch 1 for the sparkly effect, and I think this isn't a bug nor glitch, because I never really noticed the sparkling effect since.

  • Xealia_osu Rimea (@Xealia_osu) reported

    Overwatch 2... Please, fix your ******* ranked system, the literal fact that doomfist and widow smurfs just dominate lobbies is already enough for me to just stop playing the game. Also, learn how to balance characters, jesus christ. Used to love this game years ago.

  • aetheIstan siren (@aetheIstan) reported

    idk if this is just a me problem but i cant save overwatch highlights on xbox. i haven’t been able to since the game came out…

  • systim30 Systim30 (@systim30) reported

    @Jay3OW The community from overwatch is just as toxic as mk11. You play a support Ppl scream "they aren't healing" Scoreboard says different And just because someone can heal.. does not make them a healer... You want to fix overwatch.. Start with yourselves first

  • SamTheLucioFan Sammie (@SamTheLucioFan) reported

    @OwReise I never said they there are no issues in Overwatch at all. Matter of fact I agree with alot of the statements in these videos. But my problem is the fact that it goes on and on and on and on. All because they know it will get them views. That's the only reason I made the post

  • SamTheLucioFan Sammie (@SamTheLucioFan) reported

    @LOTHMY @Gambitopanda 60% of people will only see the tumbail and title that says something like "Overwatch is the biggest disappointment in gaming blah blah" they are just damaging the reputation of the game. Like their videos themselve aren't the biggest problem

  • trevor_walinga Trevor Walinga (@trevor_walinga) reported

    @Decay_SSBU What do you mean, overwatch 2 is a completely flawless game with no issues what so ever

  • SamTheLucioFan Sammie (@SamTheLucioFan) reported

    @LOTHMY @Gambitopanda Dude. Glance over overwatch YouTube for once. You see like 20 thumbnails with tracer and an arrow going down with a word like "Bad" "horrible" etc. Etc. I get wanting to highlight issues. Buy there is highlighting issues and just making 6 videos with clickbait titles and tumbails

  • Skinnyicon1 🌸☀️Adiris☀️🌸 (@Skinnyicon1) reported

    @kuribohttv @Niandra_ The biggest gag is nobody ever said THAT in all the years of overwatch. My issue is people pick and choose. All these years it was only her healing and rez nerfed. Yet now everyone thinks her Dmg boost is so op. Just doesn’t add up. It’s been the same for ages why now?

  • LakerFern ًً (@LakerFern) reported

    Overwatch is kinda dogshit right now I might just stop playing ranked until they fix this **** lol

  • ohlaike 🦉 (@ohlaike) reported

    bro can overwatch please fix pinned replays I just want to be able to unpin the ones I don’t need anymore lol

  • xjosuecastro Josue 👓 (@xjosuecastro) reported

    @Tabithabrownx its simply because they removed the Find Group feature that was once in Overwatch. It completely destroys the social/meeting new friends aspect of the game which is why I don't play it as much now :( @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS Fix this 😭

  • dub1ino dysfunctional (@dub1ino) reported

    overwatch players stfu challenge. are y’all seriously complaining abt MERCY DAMAGE BOOST??? bffr, find real issues with the game. you people will complain abt anything. even if they remove damage boost you’ll just complain abt whatever they replace it with. 😐

  • TestSub94131993 Reborn as a Penguin?! (@TestSub94131993) reported

    Any recommended games that won't murder my laptop that I can stream? Any recommendations? Cause I may just start playing visual novels to be honest if I don't find anything after Omori and Ib. Apex and Overwatch lag on stream but don't on my screen... #vtuber #vtubers

  • jayyem_ gerardo.✊🏾✊🏽✊🏿 (@jayyem_) reported

    This overwatch patch is not it. Fix your matchmaking it’s either steamroll or be steamrolled

  • RehnTails Tails rehn (renaming to Lumiz) (@RehnTails) reported

    @LandoCalrisianX atleast mei isn't at broken as in Overwatch 1

  • OnlyinSpawn CampingInMySpawn (@OnlyinSpawn) reported

    Alright guys. I have been pondering about stuff, walking, food, but most importantly… Overwatch 2’s current balancing issues, so I thought of a idea to return the game back to its former glory! - Increase Winston’s health from 200 to 1200

  • Yesat_Erday Lionel Yesat (@Yesat_Erday) reported

    @JWantedL What killed Overwatch without roll-lock wasn't Goats. Goats wasn't an issue for the average players by the time 2019 came around. Goats was an issue in pro-play where coordination was a given. For the majority of people Overwatch was way more who is giving up to play support.

  • ElectricSunset1 keisou-P (@ElectricSunset1) reported

    @PunkboyParadise I have a character named Meilin who's definitely inspired by Mei from Overwatch so I just really hope I can make her distinct enough that she's not so much of an expy that I get into trouble for plagiarism, if I ever start releasing OC stories.

  • Bensam123TV Sam Adams (@Bensam123TV) reported

    W11 doesn't fix this. Chipset drivers don't fix this. Turning off CPPC and CPPC-PC does, but then games are just all over your cores and slow cores. It makes synthetic benchmarks look worse, but synth marks don't matter anyway. You can see/feel this in Overwatch and Warzone.

  • Real_Jaggi ***** (@Real_Jaggi) reported

    Was trying to login to my battle net account to link my Overwatch accounts and like twenty minutes after I finished I just got a texts saying “Your account has been locked. Visit Account Management to unlock it. - Blizzard Entertainment” like wtf lmao

  • KixxPup KixxPup (@KixxPup) reported

    @BlizzardCS I'm having an issue where on Overwatch where I get kicked off the servers and disconnected from the internet ONLY when I play with friends this has been happening since launch. I also get an error (LC-202) I’ve also tried looking glass but it’s confusing (I’m on PS5)

  • cowboybhoplive Cowboy B Hop (@cowboybhoplive) reported

    Call of Duty is broken and Halo just isn’t the same anymore. League of legends is toxic and Overwatch 2 is a money grab. Holding my breath for some competitive Armored Core… or is Valorant the play here?

  • MeatCuddle Meatcuddle | Competetive Arc (@MeatCuddle) reported

    Playing Overwatch, OBS crashes twice. Playing animal crossing… 0 times. I think OBS is taking too much memory and I don’t know how to fix that. Anyway… we got some cute new villagers and the new island is lookin sweet. Just like the person we raided @ItsIanWatson <— go follow!

  • DemocraticSteak Steak (@DemocraticSteak) reported

    @CordellAndreWi2 @ItsSomjuu Your only issue is the balancing. Give me one example of Overwatch ever once being balanced. You cannot because it and every other fps game int eh history of the world has been unbalanced. The game was not balanced in 6v6 that’s a laughable statement

  • xxcynnfullxx 𝓒𝔂𝓷𝓷𝓭𝓲𝓮 𝓒𝓵𝓪𝓾𝓼 💀 (@xxcynnfullxx) reported

    Overwatch 2 is the most BORKED UNBALANCED game ever. ******* ever. FIX YO ****. I don’t even enjoy it anymore. Fix it.

  • hamtaro_jin brian⁷ 🌊 (@hamtaro_jin) reported

    So now I have another dude on my *** over not playing with him on overwatch like wtf is this? If I just don't feel like playing with you and you take it personal that is NOT my problem bc you're getting attached for no reason

  • Kikspie Luna (Kiks) (@Kikspie) reported
