    @PlayOverwatch Why can’t I join back into a comp game after lagging out? You could in overwatch 1

  • Poopoomonke PooPoo Monke (Pngtuber/Vtuber) (@Poopoomonke) reported

    SORRY stream had to be cut short, i figured out that my pc isnt good at running overwatch 2 tho, so im gonna try to fix that and make the viewing experience better!

  • AdamRya67454733 Adam Ryan (@AdamRya67454733) reported

    OVERWATCH 2 (AKA OW 1.5): My overall experience is that either 1 of 2 things happen in comp. 1. Open queue is full of complete throwers and leavers. 2. It’s the same with role queue except it’s more leavers and server issues. This game is a complete failure and such a let down 🖕🏼

  • pleasecancelme_ J.D. (@pleasecancelme_) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent fix your damn overwatch servers

  • autumndase 🌈😾🕊️🍂☕🍁🎃🎂🎉 (@autumndase) reported

    It's funny how the community is bashing Paladins saying that Overwatch 2 is going to kill the game when in fact Blizzard and their OW community themselves are literally killing their own game with aimbots toxicity battle passes and broken heroes 🚬

  • rmabasa Raphael (@rmabasa) reported

    i've never been so disappointed in the overwatch community that we're not all committed to the bit where we pretend bastion is a mandela effect and never actually existed in order to troll anyone who is unaware that the devs removed him from the game to fix a bug.

  • ItsMarwan09 M.J (@ItsMarwan09) reported

    Overwatch needs to fix their server @PlayOverwatch

  • umbralwarlock sofie @ OMORI (@umbralwarlock) reported

    i am literally gonna cry i’ve been trying for 5 ******* days to get Overwatch 2 to open, it finally did earlier today and then i went out to run an errand and when i came back it was broken again

  • WEDKU_TAKYON Thus Spoke Rho (@WEDKU_TAKYON) reported

    Overwatch 2 is fun. 5v5 feels a lot faster tho it's pretty hilarious they had such a huge tankfest problem they had to remove two slots. Anyone wanna play hmu

  • psonn0291 pson (@psonn0291) reported

    I think overwatch is bound to dying real quick, too many crippling problems. Balance absolute dogshit, completely broken matchmaking, leavers in a loop in normals, server perf much less than stellar

  • ANickel5 MrTechNickel (@ANickel5) reported

    @BlizzardCS Overwatch 2 just bricked my GPU. Overheating issue. Anything you guys going to do about this stuff?

  • hugo1_k Hugo1K (@hugo1_k) reported

    @elonmusk Can you buy overwatch 2 to fix that **** pls

  • gmotheguy Big Money G-mo (@gmotheguy) reported

    You see the reason Activision Blizzard wants you to have a phone number with a monthly plan attached to your account to play a free to play game is so they have a record of suckers who will play Overwatch and are completly ok with small monthly payments for a **** service.

  • ItIsDoze 🏴‍☠️ (@ItIsDoze) reported

    everyone complaining about overwatch rn just sounds like a skill issue to me. this game is not hard at all

  • ABb0xn b0xn (@ABb0xn) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent please buy rainbow and fix it. Overwatch 2 is good so far r6 needs a fix.

  • azael41051738 azael (@azael41051738) reported

    Bro I got banned for 54 days because overwatch keep kicking me out of my game hope you can fix this and unban me please 🙏

  • steve2012hynes Steve Hynes S (@steve2012hynes) reported

    @RaandomR6 @Alpezrr @BlizzardCS Which is not the case here , they rebranded overwatch 1 as 2 and made it free to play . Totally fine with it brings more players to a dead game amazing. The issue is they took a game granted dead but functioning and just made it worse. If the game is not ready don't release it.

  • MegamanRA MegamanNG #SaveRiseOfTheTMNT #NewDeal4Animation (@MegamanRA) reported

    @Poems_Future To be fair, Overwatch 2 was released in such a ****** up state that I don't know if it'll recover. Also, they need to fix up competitve.

  • EllamaePleb Ellamae 🌸 (@EllamaePleb) reported

    I seem to have left all of my frames in Overwatch 1 Anybody know a fix?

  • AtinyoAMF Jake (@AtinyoAMF) reported

    Being new to Overwatch I don’t know if I’m the problem when I lose so I’ll just say it’s not me

  • themrmocha Mr. Mocha (@themrmocha) reported

    I miss the Overwatch Lootboxes. I know the industry had a problem, but I feel like OW did them really well. Now it’s 20 bucks for a skin. I would’ve payed 30 bucks for lootboxes for just a chance to get that skin among others.

  • Mykuuuuuu Xenobrainrot Chronicles (@Mykuuuuuu) reported

    Not the overwatch devs trying to gaslight us into thinking their performance issues are our fault or non existent

  • Maattee98 Mattee (@Maattee98) reported

    playing overwatch something feels so off, idk if it's input delay or floatyness, something just feels of and idk how to fix it

  • holygod00604541 holy god (@holygod00604541) reported

    @htowngator @Clash_Addictz @fullsquadgaming Cod won’t fix it because it isn’t broken and overwatch and cod two different games

  • Deadblade_ Daros (@Deadblade_) reported

    @PaladinsGame Dude is your entire game just buggy and filled with balancing issues, been playing three days and it’s just horrid you and overwatch 2 need to get your **** together. **** sakes

  • MicroWoodzy MicroWoodzy (@MicroWoodzy) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch I have an issue with my overwatch 2 game on Xbox one when I try and start the game it goes to a back screen for a few minutes and then it gives me and error which it TE-10413 and I don’t know why it happened after the last update to the game

  • yukin0oo C (@yukin0oo) reported

    @texasallstar214 @seomintwo sounds like a skill issue, playing quick play does not represent the skill of overwatch nor does it represent the skill of valorant in its respective mode. also just becuase overwatch has a higher time to kill and is more objective based doesn't mean its a moba you are delusional

  • evanlleonard Evan (@evanlleonard) reported

    @Qwik You stole people's overwatch license by adding a "2" and then made them accept new terms of service. Should have just stopped support for OW1 and released OW2 as a stand-alone, but then you couldn't tout YEARS of players as "WeEK oNe pLayErS" for stock holders.

  • Brodylapaglia3 Brody lapaglia (@Brodylapaglia3) reported

    @BlizzardCS @overwatch fix the Xbox issue where you get an achievement and boots you from the game I have a 8 hour suspension!!!!! Fix you’re game
