  • TTV_Carlo1678 Carlo (@TTV_Carlo1678) reported

    I don't know much about Overwatch and I'm definitely a new player, but doesn't it seem kind of broken that doing damage to Winston's bubble, or Sigma's shield gives Sojourn her rail gun charge? Maybe that contributes to her OPness but I could totally be wrong. Just a thought.

  • Izuarty Izu (@Izuarty) reported

    @Captainfemboy My overwatch have a error and close in the midle of the match;-;

  • VanixEvans Vanix Evans / ヴァニックス・エバンス (@VanixEvans) reported

    At work: I think I'm gonna crash once I get home At home: let's play Overwatch instead, yes yes

  • comfyyurucamper comfykit (@comfyyurucamper) reported

    getting a crash course in every overwatch tank that isnt dva later, i have got to end my life no longer are the days where i can one-trick dva to diamond

  • GreyXGopher 🎃ratpatootie🐀 (@GreyXGopher) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @BlizzardCS @LifeatBlizzard Is there a reason you guys ruined Overwatch??? No credits, no actual way to get anything, no way to get skins without watching a Twitch stream for 4 hours??? Your numbers are dwindling on players. FIX IT

  • XarovRs Elden Ring Enjoyer (@XarovRs) reported

    @erronauta @alphaINTEL Fr I love Apex but I'm just having way more fun on Overwatch. Playing weeks of OW made me realize how unpolished and full of issues apex has. Not to mention an ATROCIOUS mmr system some of the worst I've seen in a game.

  • makkygotbacky Makenna (@makkygotbacky) reported

    I never had the “LC-208” error problem until Overwatch 2. It didn’t happen, not ONCE in Overwatch 1. Im so tired of this, I’m not about to get banned for **** that isn’t even my fault man.

  • BrumWisseme BrumWisseme (@BrumWisseme) reported

    @Tromnic102 Fortnite, Apex, Rocket League, Overwatch and many more games had worse issues with Cosmetics which were deactivated/bugged and STILL PURCHASABLE for a long time + took way longer until they were hotfixed BUT NO, just hate on rogue company instead

  • DefNotTh8uh Joe (@DefNotTh8uh) reported

    Like Fortnite, Apex, Valorant, they all do this. This isn't an Overwatch problem, its a f2p formula problem.

  • IcyVert IcyVert (@IcyVert) reported

    changes I need to see from overwatch 2: • battle pass should be extra content, not ALL the content - fix this • this upcoming event should have ways to obtain the skins without paying for recycled content • *sigh* lootboxes • better ways to unlock tokens (apex legends like)

  • box_walle Fitz (@box_walle) reported

    hot take: supports being unfun in overwatch 2 isn't a balance issue, it's a core design issue. 1-3-1 might work? maybe? mega buffed solo supports?

  • stevens60779339 steven smith (@stevens60779339) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Fix the damn game I'm tired of lagging the hell out. Overwatch 1 was so much better.

  • Erase_Mii16 Erase Mii (@Erase_Mii16) reported

    Overwatch 2’s biggest problem is the fact that it was made by blizzard

  • HenloJonno ♥ Jonno ♥ (@HenloJonno) reported

    I hate games as a service. I hate free to play. The monetization always sucks the life out of the game. However I really love overwatch and have been trying my hardest to stay positive and find things I like. I hope this update is good so I can stop attempting to defend it 😭

  • nicoghosty ghost boy novelist (@nicoghosty) reported

    Love that i have to play overwatch on lowest settings now(i played 1 on highest without trouble) and those settings male me feel nauseated gg can't play my favorite game anymore

  • DavianGma i eat *** and tacos 🌮🐝🐝 (@DavianGma) reported

    @MsMystie @lmaoZeroGN @alphaINTEL I never played overwatch but one time and thought it was garbage so pls educate me on what happened with those *****. Something like fixing the audio in apex would require tons of work, probably not something they can fix while making content at the same time I assume.

  • mothg1rl anna (@mothg1rl) reported

    either my ranked in overwatch is broken or i am the actual worst player in the entire game

  • karlsefnis return of the bro (@karlsefnis) reported

    Played overwatch for 5 hrs straight...brain is not working

  • The_GM_is_God Ben 🎃🍂 (@The_GM_is_God) reported

    Almost every issue I have with Overwatch is a result of its battle pass change

  • Shayne4002 Not Shayne (@Shayne4002) reported

    @CaramelKaiteki @FroggerOW I don’t know why you’d be shooting a Zarya bubble in the first place?? Dva is not an issue. Even in high elo. You swap to counter her, just like any other character, because she can be countered. That’s what you do in Overwatch. Her shield is not broken.

  • kamikazejose Hispanic at the disco (@kamikazejose) reported

    if u are mad about overwatch skins you dont have enough real problems and i dont need your fake ones

  • JakeyBoyCoffman JBC (@JakeyBoyCoffman) reported

    The Overwatch 2 ranking system is broken I swear.

  • MegEditss Meg (@MegEditss) reported

    1 issue I have with overwatch 2: don't throw me in games that have 15 seconds left and we're losing miserably

  • iRelixx James (@iRelixx) reported

    Overtime on overwatch is broken lol

  • DCNeonix Ethan (@DCNeonix) reported

    Sorry for the stream issues last night my computer and streaming and overwatch 2 are not mixing well for some reason and it’s causing major issues so hopefully we can solve that soon. You can get back to a recom people on that game. Pc not even outdated I built it in 2020..

  • MsMystie Mystie (@MsMystie) reported

    @DavianGma @lmaoZeroGN @alphaINTEL You do understand how a live-service game works right? Overwatch 1 is a prime example on what would happen if the devs stopped working on new content to fix bugs. The devs simultaneously work on making new content and fixing bugs

  • wereisEldenring Mr Quig (@wereisEldenring) reported

    @montepriesto @OverwatchEU It might just be a skill issue apparently getting wins in overwatch two means I de rank or Just don’t rank up at all

  • impanarinlol impanarinlol (@impanarinlol) reported

    @Allan_Pitanga @BastionMain11 Well as a bastion main i will tell you this they definitely nerfed him hard this overwatch but ow1 he was broken. Watch "flanking bastion" on yt

  • TheAmberBerries AmberBerries (@TheAmberBerries) reported

    @theemagi If you spent an amount of money you could afford to spend it aint a problem really. If you had spare money you wanted to spend, it's not buying overwatch skins over eating, it's not really the same. People can waste their money on a new couch and it isn't a couch addiction.

  • CluelessNix ❄️【Nix】🌙 (@CluelessNix) reported

    Did Overwatch comp help me push through my depression? Yes. Number I give value went up. Dopamine and Serotonin given. Do the things I need to do, aaaand crash.
