    @GATALING @Blizzard_Ent OverWatch isn't my problem, I don't care about that.. I have money down on Modern Warfare 2 and if I log into the game to find out that I need a phone number I will have lost $100 and have no game to play. My phone number is on a PREPAID PLAN! I can't get a new one or just reset.

  • ripoffskrillex 🖤this is a t i m e🤍 (@ripoffskrillex) reported

    tell me why im STILL gettin server/login error for overwatch 2 😭 i just wanna finish my battlepass man

  • BMiste51 Alexandre S (@BMiste51) reported

    @battlenet I play Overwatch 2 on Xbox Series X and when I unlock a success I find myself disconnected and therefore take an abandonment penalty, is a patch planned ? It looks like I'm not the only one having this problem.

  • elmo__vz Blxrry (@elmo__vz) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix overwatch 2 now for xbox. every time i get an achievement i get kicked. i do so good and get an achievement and get kicked. the its happened 10 times now, TEN. it's literally unplayable. literally just went 14-0 and got kicked.

  • RATBURIAL ANGEL: EVIL MILF Edition ™️ (@RATBURIAL) reported

    I think my biggest problem with New Overwatch is how mobile the new characters feel compared to the old ones. Like it’s almost unfair in a way. Sojourn can get out of literally ******* anything and slides all over the place like a damn Apex Legends character

  • clickfasteatbut clickfasteatass (@clickfasteatbut) reported

    my AC is broken. will be a true overwatch gamer when i unlock that delightful musk

  • drko346 Drko346 (@drko346) reported

    I try not to be negative but at the same time, can't wait to see Overwatch 1.5 crash and burn into the ground

  • WhyBee808 4K̶S ⃣ (@WhyBee808) reported

    Did they fix that pre paid bullshit with overwatch 2 yet?

  • D7Noot Dāku (@D7Noot) reported

    Overwatch 2 is fun, but they have to fix the reward and progression system

  • MKVRiscy RiscV (@MKVRiscy) reported

    The bigger problem with overwatch 2 is that companies wouldn’t do pay-to-win if it wasn’t profitable We all know it sucks but it makes a ton of money, especially now that some people are starting to view in-game cosmetics as almost status symbols

  • Skxtchy Sketchy (@Skxtchy) reported

    Overwatch isn’t the problem is anyone else having issues with their PlayStation connecting

  • Voltaire_Aro VoltaireAro (@Voltaire_Aro) reported

    I love overwatch!!! I love lagging extremely bad then my entire game crashing!!! Thank you Overwatch!!!!

  • Skxtchy Sketchy (@Skxtchy) reported

    Anyone else having server issues with overwatch today

  • C6Loma LomaC6 (@C6Loma) reported

    So then, with Overwatch 2 releasing I see an opportunity to just switch games and jump into a fresh ranked grind. Yet the gaming gods are not havin it! OW2's ranking system is completely broken. What a mess gaming in general is right now. So sad 😑

  • SYTGonTTV @SendYouToGod on Tiktok (@SYTGonTTV) reported

    @RevTheSim @SkyStarrying @PlayApex Apex def has a smurfing problem. I have 7 smurf accounts and I can keep making more. Overwatch I only have 2 accounts bc I have two phone numbers

  • FionaNotJuliet Fiona 🎃 18+ Only. 14143 Word Count (@FionaNotJuliet) reported

    new fun overwatch glitch! it’s showing my time played as 185 hours when I know it was near 500 and my most played character is actually Mercy at 48-50 hours. But now she’s at 12 hours. what the hell. @PlayOverwatch

  • YUNBALM_ ekko fresh (@YUNBALM_) reported

    does anyone lose their connection on overwatch aswell?? my wifi is not the problem

  • PauseChief PauseChief (@PauseChief) reported

    There’s this really weird glitch that’s plagued Overwatch since like 2019 where if you pick Symmetra you instantly get 40 kills, weird stuff.

  • michaelrow203 michael (@michaelrow203) reported

    @el_kabong86 @MugsTV Honestly overwatch had the same problem they never fixed it

  • beamattackuser average sasquatch enjoyer (@beamattackuser) reported

    the implication that overwatch devs taking inspiration from tf2 would be a bad thing is like just a completely stunning display of having Zero understanding of how any form of media is created. do i think overwatch is good? not especially. but like... that's not the issue

  • Flamingflako Elian Reynoso (@Flamingflako) reported

    Honestly I can’t play overwatch 2 because everyone plays ZARYA she way to broken. 2 bubble sh#t maxed damage with no de-buff!!! While getting pocket. I’m not having fun no more get rid of her or Nerf her to the ground.!!!!!! @PlayOverwatch @OverwatchEU @Blizzard_Ent

  • jaxbend11 jax🪀cw dragon ball z (@jaxbend11) reported

    @RodrigoSpeakz The only time your point makes sense to me is during events other than that overwatch’s lootboxes weren’t an issue

  • FoxiTheFurry Foxi (@FoxiTheFurry) reported

    @BlizzardCS Ever since launch my friend has been unable to log in to Overwatch 2, every time he tries he puts his log in credentials then it says connecting then it kicks him back to the log in screen with no error code or anything. Is this issue at least being worked on?

  • TheOttor OTTOR (@TheOttor) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hello I'm trying to sign up for Overwatch 2 but it says my phone number is Pre Paid? For Obvious reasons this is not the case. Any chance for help or is this a known issue?

  • Croy14 Caleb Roy (@Croy14) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch 2 Cmon can't even get in for days now stuck at a stupid overwatch 2 loading screen please fix this bug or I might as well just never play overwatch again if I'm having problems already

  • AzzieY33 Azzie (@AzzieY33) reported

    Another day Overwatch 2 remains completely unplayable for a large portion of players. LC-208 is a big issue, im very positive that a company like Blizzard will get this issue resolved, but it is frustrating. @BlizzardCS @PIayOverwatch2

  • __Rezzo__ rezzo (@__Rezzo__) reported

    @PlayOverwatch please fix 16:10 resolutions on overwatch 2 they are completely bugged because 16:10 aspect ratio simply does not work. all 16:10 resolutions are stuck on 16:9 even if you change it to 16:10 please fix it.

  • _cooky_pie 🍶 ᨳ᭬ c o o k ˀˀ (@_cooky_pie) reported

    @EMagp1 @imAVRL The only problem is : why two legendary skins (new one or not) cost as much as Overwatch 1? At the end it will cost more than just a game when before it was free

  • Whitemesser Whitemesser Music Producer (@Whitemesser) reported
