  • Goldenreapereye Golden Eye (@Goldenreapereye) reported

    @EGO14_OW @Synovus_ @OWAnonymous_ Not true they themself had said tank is the core problem that’s why they removed a tank in Overwatch 2 they tank it fixes things. Also zen is not overpowered but I agree that bap and brig are

  • _Mouse_OW Rae x (@_Mouse_OW) reported

    As soon as the DDOS attack message disappears is when I start having connection problems... Great,,, #Overwatch #blizzard

  • zazzastack zazzastack (@zazzastack) reported

    @pr3s5ure I mean fair enough, i understand the frustration, I've been DDOS attacked twice in the past whilst playing Overwatch and it was terrible, I don't understand how people have fun hacking and ruining things for everyone, mb tho I thought they were fixed bc I hadn't heard otherwise.

  • arsonoptics Arson Optics 🔥 (@arsonoptics) reported

    @BlizzardCS currently unable to complete “entering game” for the overwatch 2 beta. errors out saying “lost connection to game server”. any advice?

  • sa_lowell S.A. Lowell (@sa_lowell) reported

    No Overwatch due to a DDOS. Real depresso hours over here.

  • AvailingMist1 DanMist (@AvailingMist1) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ The problems with it are obvious, it is a good game, because overwatch 1 is a good game, its just not a sequel

  • TommiMarkus Tommi Leikomaa (@TommiMarkus) reported

    @BulletL_ The world is a twisted place. Overwatch removing broken shields, Apex is adding them....

  • Crownzy__ Crownzy (@Crownzy__) reported

    @PlayOverwatch why does a 700HP tank have the ability to one shot any squishy target with little effort. The changes to his ultimate were great, but he fundamentally drags the same issues into overwatch 2 while making it harder for him to get punished with a higher health pool.

  • vjdato21 Shoga Tatsuki (@vjdato21) reported

    @BlizzardCS Still can't login to Overwatch 1 and 2.

  • DesComms Deshavious 👾 (@DesComms) reported

    I hate playing overwatch on comp mode with people who don't use other characters then get upset at the team, because what's the reason? "I don't play healer" like okay that's a personal problem you need to work out and get good with

  • Ashie_Boi Ashie (@Ashie_Boi) reported

    >actually want to play Overwatch for once >Ddos >my impatient *** sits here opening and closing the game for over an hour acting like it will actually work help

  • RenOrRaven the gyarados of hot women (@RenOrRaven) reported

    @ckunzelman one time, in college, i popped in to watch my university's competitive overwatch team at our esports facility. they got rolled. i turned to everyone around me and went "Hey, do you understand the sport you are watching" and it was all "No's." idk how you fix that.

  • anonymousarie Star Alien (@anonymousarie) reported

    @Prowl8413 Literally this is why Overwatch has been the way it is and the Minecraft commmunity doesnt see what they’re doing by pushing the developers away. Soon enough they’ll stop talking so much on Twitter because they can’t have personal lives or hobbies without minecraft problems

  • pinkpilledbygod Ashley (@pinkpilledbygod) reported

    got ~1940sr in tank placements before overwatch servers got ddos'd it's L after L today it seems

  • LaminatedSpirit LaminatedSpirit (@LaminatedSpirit) reported

    @westjett1 Powercreep exists. If they released a broken agent and then buffed every other agent to match their level every time, this game would become Overwatch No **** it was more fun for you Jett/Chamber instalocks, you were playing busted characters. It wasn’t fun for anyone else

  • KeananNoot KeananNoot (@KeananNoot) reported

    @TSecret220 It was just me trying to fix overwatch but the servers died so I ended really early lol

  • Rangel_Uchiha Rangel Oliveira (@Rangel_Uchiha) reported

    @SamitoFPS @Jay3OW This is not the problem. The problem is the beta should be the major update to Overwatch 1 since OWL started! Also Blizzard does not know how to makerting their OW2 game and 99% of people still doesn't know Overwatch 2 PVE its a thing. And for god sake, Overwatch 2 its not 2.

  • FlyinPotat00 swag (@FlyinPotat00) reported

    @jatu999 I think the problem is that they’re still trying to be too esport oriented when that’s kinda what killed overwatch for the majority of the player-base if I’m being honest they devoted too much resources into overwatch league that the core game suffered

  • hiswristslit Kira (@hiswristslit) reported

    @skiesti_ Yeah you tilted and stressed out your teammates for not switching, no one wonder he reacted that way, overwatch is stressful enough, the fact you stated you wasn't going to switch. Is infuriating. Glad alot of people can see the issue in this clip.

  • sylmelon syl (@sylmelon) reported

    @XboxSupport xbox you should make people have issues gettinh on overwatch again itd be funny

  • matthewbest93 matthew best (@matthewbest93) reported

    Overwatch 2's backend and ev leaked and oh my the problems at blizzard have been soooooo much deeper than the harassment stuff these people have absolutely no clue what they're doing across all their titles. It's actually embarrassing the stories of how inept their devs are now.

  • xsheilav sheila 🧸🤍 (@xsheilav) reported

    why are overwatch servers down grrr im just tryna vibe n play w the boys 😡

  • zicookiie Zicookiie 🍪 PNGTuber (@zicookiie) reported

    @milobentley_ I wish I could just play lol I crashed 3 times last night gave up and played overwatch apparently a lot of people are having the issue >.<

  • Monsieur_pig Bronzu (@Monsieur_pig) reported

    @elonmusk any chance you can buy @Blizzard_Ent real quick and fix overwatch??

  • ELDEFENSOR44 Defen (@ELDEFENSOR44) reported

    So yeah, Paladins is still far from playable. Tried it yesterday when Overwatch was being DDoS attacked Couldn't play anything other than Betty and Drogoz cuz the framerate is still garbage for some reason. When I tried playing Lex we got trolled Kinessa is ***. Far from saving

  • NSFWDevilRat 🔞魔王ラット🐀 (@NSFWDevilRat) reported

    @ARudder @IntroSpecktive To be fair, I don't pay attention to Activision Blizzard at all outside of stocks, killing their own games, and Battle Net sucks ***. I wished Steam competitors had equally good service, but none of them do. Also... The Lootboxes turned me away from Overwatch.

  • dj_ni_r 逆Я | Dj tuteyishi (@dj_ni_r) reported

    The loss streaks followed by win streaks mixed up with a few fair matches is the worst thing about #overwatch. I think matchmaking is overwatch’s main problem. If they don’t change the system to make matches fairer, where even if u lose u don’t feel as bad, new content won’t help

  • uhNickz Nick (@uhNickz) reported

    I wanted to play MGSV earlier today; servers were undergoing maintenance and couldn’t play. I wanted to play Overwatch to wind down tonight; servers are down due to a DDoS attack. Nice 🫠

  • the_g0ldenAng3l Tommy (@the_g0ldenAng3l) reported

    Okay so I play overwatch, I'm either a sombra or widowmaker main. Anyways I have an issue! Baston is far too op. I mean bros getting kills left to right. And it does leave an unfair advantage towards others who've literally got most kills. Did I play as Baston yes I did. (1)

  • littlebifelix lumi 🫧 (@littlebifelix) reported

    as much as i hate toxic ******** on overwatch comp if ur gonna one trick a hero that is NOT working out and then refuse to switch when asked to you can’t act surprised when ur team gets mad…
