  • BxddieLoki Loki 🇩🇴 (@BxddieLoki) reported

    I still find it funny a toxic dva started issues with me on Overwatch, I finished it And I get temporarily suspended for it. Like dude came into my dms first and thought I wasnt gonna snap back? 😭 Its still funny but the more I think about it I get a bit annoyed about it lmao

  • FooweeFoowee Fooly (@FooweeFoowee) reported

    I clearly have not broken into the overwatch scene hard enough to not get aired .

  • Sn5pShoT snap (@Sn5pShoT) reported

    @TStorm106 No because fr the game has one of the worst servers ever. Other major games like overwatch, cod, etc dont seem to be having the same issues as common as destiny. Embarrassing

  • TailStraw Switch Posts (@TailStraw) reported

    @BoyeSlutsty I have a problem while playing overwatch where I perform too well early on and then paint a massive KILL ON SIGHT target on my ***. No matter your role if you're getting focused down you're gonna wind up with a bad KD

  • sophiebaybey Sophie 💖 (@sophiebaybey) reported

    @HelpNeedUsernam Everything else I think is fairly self explanatory. I just think the game would've faired a lot better without ults. It's not the only problem that led to overwatch's downfall but it's a big part of it imo

  • HoodieSnake_ Snake (@HoodieSnake_) reported

    @fishtankbullsh1 @blood8262 @NicherShell Overwatch devs have been very open about nerfs and buffs even saying since it’s not a big issue with lower skill players they don’t want to nerf them COD is literally the most casual game ever loud footsteps no red dots on the map and you die in literally 3 bullets

  • LoulyLouVT Louly Lou (@LoulyLouVT) reported

    @strwberrimlktea @PlayOverwatch I knew I wasn't the only one 😭 in the overwatch forums a bunch of people are saying they have this same issue!! I am still having it after winning 21 games in comp 😭

  • EkbladJoona eluundd9393 (@EkbladJoona) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Hey there have been server issues in Overwatch 2, just got kicked out of a couple ranked games and got banned for this season. Are there fixes coming? Happened to a couple of friends too, not an issue with internet connection. 🤔

  • lazarbro_yt lazarbrobro🇺🇸 (@lazarbro_yt) reported

    @aidanfeith53 @S1apSh0es I can think of a lot of changes in Overwatch 1 that were made that addressed a problem that only about Gold and below found as a problem. Off the top of my head, mercy rework, turret character updates, projectile vs hitssan balance.

  • punpkinbot Punpkin (@punpkinbot) reported

    istg i much rather drag my ***** threw broken glass on top of lava then play push.. #Overwatch #Overwatch2

  • s1mesaba (@s1mesaba) reported

    Overwatch's matchmaking system is completely broken

  • fishtankbullsh1 fishtankbullshit (@fishtankbullsh1) reported

    @HoodieSnake_ @blood8262 @NicherShell "Overwatch devs have been very open about nerfs and buffs even saying since it’s not a big issue with lower skill players they don’t want to nerf them" im not bothering with you anymore, you're, evidently; completely out of touch with reality

  • ImApota30522951 ImApotato (@ImApota30522951) reported

    @aaronkellerOW Matchmaking is still broken in Overwatch. I took over a month off from the game & it still feels the same despite multiple posts about fixes & changes coming to sdmm.

  • verogonzalezb7 vero gonzalez (@verogonzalezb7) reported

    Will be ever fix my sleep schedule probably not so peace out while overwatch updates

  • TyTy25932660 Ty (@TyTy25932660) reported

    @overwatch your game is literally suspended me from competitive play because it can't find a match for me wtf fix this smh

  • poweradesuplier Your Friendly Neighborhood Powerade Supplier (@poweradesuplier) reported

    @BlizzardCS please fix the Overwatch competitive servers the fact I keep getting banned for y’all’s servers disconnecting is crazy

  • DP_1184 DP (@DP_1184) reported

    Overwatch 2 ranked still broken 😔

  • 4utumnHarvest Autumn 🍂🐀 (@4utumnHarvest) reported

    @jadaiyuki @Vampuffin @Bolverk15 I said 5v5 was a direct result of their complaints, which it was. One of the biggest Overwatch comp complaints was over teams running 2 shield tanks instead of a shield tank and an off-tank. Blizzard flat out said they changed it to 5v5 to “prevent” that issue.

  • grimemcre mara (@grimemcre) reported

    queued dps only overwatch has officially broken me

  • moshipsword Blake Durnell (@moshipsword) reported

    @ashok_thomas @olideharo @PlayXDefiant You have no idea how server issues work or come about I am assuming a big reason for this beta was to stress test servers to find problems battle field cod and overwatch all did this and have all had similar issues

  • tsykoka Tsykoka (@tsykoka) reported

    nah overwatch tiktok is horrid, apply has a clip saying he thinks lifeweaver is garbage and half the comments are saying skill issue like 😭😭😭😭

  • fairlylocalhoe gloria. (@fairlylocalhoe) reported

    @Thok24 apparently it is a bug! i just checked the overwatch forums and i saw i post from october complaining about the same two trophies that you are having trouble with. and yes! i played ow1 on ps4, looks like we got lucky with them 🤩

  • JoshuaDonohoe1 Albert 2 (@JoshuaDonohoe1) reported

    @StLudoo Overwatch was so bad for it, If your weren't like Diamond it was completely unbalanced and unfun to play, Six Siege also had a similar problem except the second a pro had an issue it would get changed immediately like Zofia's revive

  • RoboBunBoy Datel🐰VTUBER (@RoboBunBoy) reported

    Ok so today I’m gonna try overwatch 2 again and hope that it won’t crash stream again

  • 1brushi brushi✨ (@1brushi) reported

    overwatch ranks are so inflated as a part of the problem i can say i am willing to lose my rank for the greater good

  • omgdjoslol 🐶 jocelyn 💄 (@omgdjoslol) reported

    sooo is overwatch’s matchmaking still broken for y’all or is it just me

  • Ro9ersWasTaken ro9ers (@Ro9ersWasTaken) reported

    Just started playing sims 4 because Overwatch decided to disconnect me from a ranked game then suspend me like it was my fault and I’m definitely not pissed about it 👍🏻

  • exxiff Exxiff (@exxiff) reported

    @SauceyCos @Shaggyy69420 @tarkov How come when someone gets banned on overwatch, they get banned 6 different ways, insuring that this player will never play. The ai anti cheat would fix this

  • 4utumnHarvest Autumn 🍂🐀 (@4utumnHarvest) reported

    @jadaiyuki @Vampuffin @Bolverk15 Hell, Overwatch 2 being 5v5 instead of 6v6 is a direct result of competitive players getting upset over double shield tank teams being “broken” instead of teams running the “agreed meta” of a shield tank and an off-tank (aka glorified DPS).
