  • Hobbesdawg I donno, I'm just a dog (@Hobbesdawg) reported

    Well it was fun to test my monitor out with Overwatch again but the same problems persist - mostly aimbotters are as thick as theives, level boosting still rampant and NO match balance. Figured I'd try to give it ONE last chance. I guarantee OW2 will be no better. Get ****** Bliz

  • Ashleyscowcroft Ash (@Ashleyscowcroft) reported

    @Tyrant002model @HazzadorGamin Stuff like CoD, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and Overwatch will stay multiplatform, anything else is probably up to them

  • Joe05907513 Joe (@Joe05907513) reported

    @iinnocuous @fabregaspastore Overwatch 2 is going f2p live service. I love that. Now 1) my friends can play for free. 2) we know when new content is coming out 3) if you play you can earn things for free on the battlepass or if you want to support the company you can pay for the for the battlepass to get 1/2

    @Renko_OW I generally don’t like blaming interests for problems, but Overwatch.

  • Marionete2004 Marionete (@Marionete2004) reported

    @VUUUSAS @JamieMoranUK Only the big games like cod and overwatch will be multi-platform, It doesn't mean crash and spyro will be

  • MakingSomeTea Harry (@MakingSomeTea) reported

    @panthero44 You know how broken Bastion was on launch of Overwatch 1? Well that’s about to happen again.

  • peperpal P3-PER 🤖 Robo-Vtuber! (@peperpal) reported

    I think I fixed my computer but I am not sure, so I will do a test stream later today, probably just some overwatch to see if the issues have gone away. I also figured out Vtube Studio, so I can do some cool new stuff!

  • CrusadeDemon Crusade |👹Demon VTuber☄️ (@CrusadeDemon) reported

    Sorry for the constant crashing at the end of the stream today ): I'm not sure what was happening since I've streamed overwatch before and have had no problems. I'll try to figure out what it was and fix it for next time. Other than that thank you guys so much for being patient♥

  • BrandonNettles9 Brandon Nettles (@BrandonNettles9) reported

    Prototype, Overwatch, Hearthstone, StarCraft, Skylanders, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Candy Crush. All of these IPs will all stay multi-platform even after the acquisition closes, however should Activision created a new IP that's not based on existing IP, it's exclusive to

  • 2k_Crxze Aydon Keefer (@2k_Crxze) reported

    @BlizzardCS I currently cant play Overwatch because im constantly getting disconnected from the servers and getting error code lc 202

  • KingJosh_____ Josh (@KingJosh_____) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent I want to enjoy overwatch 2 so bad, but having to wait in a 10min+ queue to play tank every time is not fun. Honestly makes me not want to play at all. Y’all gotta fix that at launch, please!

  • walkingFLAREGUN • KAI • (@walkingFLAREGUN) reported

    Is anyone else having issues with the Overwatch Contenders website? The green light disappears and I have to stay we update the page all the time 😩

  • Mrmartyplays Marty McGamepass (@Mrmartyplays) reported

    @VUUUSAS @JamieMoranUK COD, Overwatch and MAYBE Diablo 4 will stay multiple smaller IPS like Crash, Tony Hawn and anything they bring back like Hexen or Prototype will be exclusive to Xbox, they are saying what they need to say to get the deal to go through doesn't mean that EVERYTHING stay the same

  • laqwa88 Laqwa88 (@laqwa88) reported

    @Jibanyan_SA @WarnTV Because they want to keep their product alive, hence why they are making streamers to stream under the overwatch category not overwatch 2. Now why would that be? Would it be because OW2 has low viewership? Blizzard needs to crash and burn after the latest stunts.

  • MatthewsECLIPS Matthew Shea (@MatthewsECLIPS) reported

    @Taurevanime @EliLea1 The issue I see if poor tactics by all of them. Half guns, half visual distance, bounding overwatch. All basics appear to be missing from both sides that is why it’s a knife fight. A BTR/IFV cannot support a tank.

  • Stiggy121 Stiggy (@Stiggy121) reported

    Overwatch players: Zen at 225 HP is unnecessary with the removal of DPS speed boost but his real problem is discord being too strong. Spartan kick is also a stupid thing for 0 second cooldown. Devs: We have balanced Zen by removing 25 hp. They got 1/3 I guess

  • CCkun91 CCkun91 (@CCkun91) reported

    @Luccin_Juu @chrisEm119 If you look at Overwatch as a good example it's gone both ways. They balance top down and the lower level players suffer because Reaper and Junkrat run the game over. They balance bottom up and then high level games suffer because Pharah is broken now.

  • imaginedraugrs sam ⛰ (@imaginedraugrs) reported

    ngl overwatch is the worst it has been with the smurf problem as of recent :/ every match has at least 3+ smurfs and they keep being matched against new players who don‘t got a clue how to play ow. having a real great experience rn!!!!!

  • DeezNumgers FunniMan (@DeezNumgers) reported

    @Micahhatesmen @Fvas__ @HoshizoraOW That's literally his name Just because they feel like trying to run away from their problems doesn't mean I ahvw to accept it. And I can tell you allot of people in the overwatch community don't accept themselves lol

  • AndreaPichinini Andrea Pichinini (@AndreaPichinini) reported

    @MrMKongey_420 Not games that have already released on other platforms, but future titles yes. And there is the exception of some franchises like COD, Overwatch and Diablo (Mainly big franchises with a games-as-service structure)

  • AYearAndOneDay Veronica💙💕 (@AYearAndOneDay) reported

    14 hours of Overwatch a day is simply not enough to distract from my problems anymore

  • N0tchacho Notchacho (@N0tchacho) reported

    My Overwatch teammates be gaslighting and saying that I'm the problem more than my girlfriend 😭

  • Saturn_GZ 🌺Saturn | VtuberEN | New Avatar Debut Coming!🌺 (@Saturn_GZ) reported

  • _dyingvalkyrie 𝕸𝖆𝖗𝖎𝖆.🦇 (@_dyingvalkyrie) reported

    RIP Overwatch 2 Beta. >: Today was my last day playing it because no time tomorrow. I hate the Mercy change, Zen is fckn broken, I am to slow for this game and I hate the push mode. ;-;

  • MayoAndChip Ethan G (@MayoAndChip) reported

    @HoshizoraOW there's stuff i like about overwatch 2 but the stuff i dont like is enough to ruin the experience for me however im confident these issues will be addressed before launch, and im personally more interested in the PvE stuff anyways

  • ACofern Chapolin Jrpg (@ACofern) reported

    @tanjounokamioku My main issue is Overwatch in the same list as Red Dead Redemption 2... The latter is so superior it's not even funny

  • AnthonyPool450 Anthony (@AnthonyPool450) reported

    @CHRISTO76981380 @Abdel_114 @JAAY_ROCK_ absolutely non of those are relevant and are the definition of down trending. with the exception of diablo . overwatch 2 will be way small ultimate alliance is dead crash is dead tony hawk is dead so wtf u saying kid.

  • NYMdumpsterfire allie #LGM (@NYMdumpsterfire) reported

    @BlizzardCS has the PS5 overwatch 2 beta issue been resolved yet? it keeps telling me I need the watchpoint pack but then when i go to purchase it (again), it tells me I already have it. @AskPlayStation repeatedly ends the support chat immediately after I ask about it
