  • AaronMJack99 Aaron Jackson (@AaronMJack99) reported

    Played a decent amount of Overwatch 2, few things stand out for me. Sojourn is extremely broken Sombra is extremely broken Mercy is extremely strong right now Genji isn't as strong as pepole think he is Zarya does way too much damage

  • CrewBoonie boonie_crew (@CrewBoonie) reported

    I haven't been able to play overwatch now for just over a week now, all because of SMS Protect. I can't login because it says that the number is already in use. I've only ever used said number on that account, and for some odd reason it logged me out. @BlizzardCSEU_EN

  • christianswrld Christian (@christianswrld) reported

    my problem with overwatch(i’ve always had this problem) is that if one person is not doing their job it makes the game damn near impossible to win no matter the role

  • DeevtheKWEEN ✨💗DEEEEEEEEEV💗✨ (@DeevtheKWEEN) reported

    Is Overwatch ever gonna fix their shop LMFAO I kinda feel scammed because I topped up awhile ago for the zen OWL skin and I'm still not allowed to buy it....

  • GR1323587357 GR=13 (@GR1323587357) reported

    @BlizzardCS Haven’t heard back from blizzard support in 5 days. Server attacks (error lc 203) ruined my overwatch 2 experience can’t play competitive.

  • GR1323587357 GR=13 (@GR1323587357) reported

    @BlizzardCS ticket number: US87336293 Would love to have someone from blizzard reach out. Been five days. Overwatch 2 issues

  • Darkheart090909 Darkheart (@Darkheart090909) reported

    @NyanSox Honestly the only thing I have a problem with in Overwatch 2 is the shop. It's just too expensive. The worst part is we have a preset standard of what legendary skins should be priced at. Thanks to OWL skins being only $10 dollars in the past

  • VicAttawayVtube Victor Attaway Cyberpunk Hacker V-Tuber V-Creators (@VicAttawayVtube) reported

    Only single problem in overwatch 2? MOIRA SOMBRA MOIRA SOMBRA MOIRA SOMBRA MOIRA SOMBRA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE I ONLY SEE THOSE 2 IN LITTERALY ALL MY GAMES IN BOTH ENEMY AND ALLY TEAM

  • alnmcx alan (@alnmcx) reported

    been noticing that a lot of people are leaving their supports to die in this new competitive season of overwatch…anyone else facing the same issue? #overwatch2

  • The_Nog_ TheNog (@The_Nog_) reported

    If blizzard can fix all this **** Overwatch 2 will be a great game and may have a big redemption arc. But don't apologize to us with a ******* new reaper skin and double xp weekend, **** OFF. Actions speak louder than words and if you really want to apologize fix this ****.

  • monkeyymonster xMONKEYYMONSTER (@monkeyymonster) reported

    @BlizzardCS Y'all should look at the problems overwatch 2 is going through rn somehow it's slipped through the cracks for the last week Lc-208 and lc-202 has been kicking people out of ranked matches and suspended them and nothing has been done this is outrageous

  • HaydenK111 Hayden. (@HaydenK111) reported

    @Nilkski_ lol true but overwatch 1 devs failed to fix their game in anyway lazy *****!

  • Sleepyvolf 🎃Spoopyvolf (@Sleepyvolf) reported

    0 days since the last Overwatch server outage.

  • PoIZeD14 Robert (@PoIZeD14) reported

    @BlizzardCS I maybe would not mind going on overwatch, but the screen goes black upon launch - can you fix the game please or mention how to fix that issue. I have read comments nd viewed videos.

  • UndoAnime MaddRiot (@UndoAnime) reported

    Anyone else’s Overwatch shop broken #Overwatch2 #Overwatch2

  • Dreadyislive Dreadyislive (@Dreadyislive) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix your servers on overwatch 2 for ffs

  • guwophomee slippin crukey (@guwophomee) reported

    does overwatch 2 have a cheating problem yet

  • ethunderx Cyberstarnova (@ethunderx) reported

    @ZacKow264 COD has declined over the years for me, well actually a lot of Activision Blizzard games have kinda sucked. Diablo should've stopped at 2, Overwatch is okay, Spyro and Crash hasn't had a new entry in yrs, and Guitar Hero is dead. The only thing I like now is WOW bro.

  • SportsAnime1 Kenma's twin (@SportsAnime1) reported

    My profile in Overwatch is still a mess but nevertheless, I'm still going to play. Hopefully it get fix

  • bunbatty Ashley🤍 (@bunbatty) reported

    They need to fix tanks health and/or damage in overwatch

  • nib95_ NIB (@nib95_) reported

    @TheNeoism This is on the assumption franchise remains multiplat, which it may not. That's entire point. Same with other IP like Diablo, Overwatch, Crash, Spyro etc. If they go exclusive in longer term future, which is a poss (see Starfield, ES6, OW2, Hellblade 2 etc), then your framing off

  • omega_gyu peach (@omega_gyu) reported

    why he even wanted to help him. It was probably a ploy to get Bg to talk, which was even more annoying than just having to see him. “I see you’re still not working out. Too busy playing Overwatch or whatever else you do on your computer?” Yj teased, and Bg rolled his eyes.

  • EtnLMini Mini (@EtnLMini) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch If my xbox's software breaks because of issues with Overwatch 2, will you replace. I am experiencing issue in your game and it is slowing my xbox series s' software on other games

  • itsmiivivian Vivian. (@itsmiivivian) reported

    @stardustsummons Yeah, and besides I don't think there's an issue with playing overwatch if you don't engage with the part you have an issue with (the weird battle pass and store ****)

  • DadjokesGaming Dad😈SCARES👻Gaming (@DadjokesGaming) reported

    My middle (17 she/her) is interested in a boy and I didn't have a problem with him till I was talking to him last night and found out he got his Overwatch account banned cause he "mooing at a ******* Overwatch"... Help? 1/?

  • masenmatthews Masen (@masenmatthews) reported

    It makes me sad to say it but Overwatch 2 is an L so far. I say this after doing 30-40+ rounds now that it’s actually playable. It’s just…so unbalanced. Tanks too beefy, DPS too weak, and all of these problems are exacerbated by a move to 5v5. I want the original back 😢
