  • QweenFIop 🅡*🅓*🅔🅨 (@QweenFIop) reported

    @sI33ping the fact that PALADINS has better balance than overwatch is such a problem

  • _Tridd Tom Underwood (@_Tridd) reported

    Overwatch Esports fans seem to think they’re the majority demographic of that player base, that’s adorable. The casual audience outnumber and out finance the live service. Give them a PVE mode, content is gonna be good.

  • Rissy96 Rissy / リシー (@Rissy96) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Love Overwatch but ngl, these designs are inferior to the originals. Don’t fix what ain’t broke :p

  • pissbugs ceo of **** **** balling (@pissbugs) reported

    overwatch 2 is the biggest ******* joke bro they refused to fix the game they had and add lore to characters that have been there since the original roster and decided " :) a new game will fix ? "

  • HayleeMcNally 💋 (@HayleeMcNally) reported

    Overwatch 2 looks so pointless. Like just stop being lazy and fix your game instead of making a second one

  • porksouda elijah (@porksouda) reported

    @SamitoFPS @PlayOverwatch this game will be amazing . overwatch 1 has balance issues that do need to be fixed but even if we dont get a new character before ow2 comes out im sure ow2 will SURPASS our expectations to the point where the community can offer forgiveness for the lack of content recently .

  • LadyRabahber 🐉 Astral Dragon Girl 🌃 (@LadyRabahber) reported

    Blizzard is a shadow of ots forler self and hasn't produced any new ideas since the release of overwatch. It is a soulless money making machine that is literally reselling old and broken games purely on their nostalgia factor. It is sad... so much wasted potential

  • OwReise Reise_OW (@OwReise) reported

    @BlizzardCS DUDE we have the same problem so im trying to play overwatch 2 right? but it wont let me and jeff said there isnt an ETA on that either can you give us a real ******* date seeing on how you arent doing anything to give us real content anyway?

  • BarnesFlam Barnes🐿️♠ (@BarnesFlam) reported

    did they add crash bandicoot to overwatch yet

  • TeaLovingBrit Harvey (@TeaLovingBrit) reported

    overwatch 2 looks sick. like, REALLY ******* GOOD. take your time @PlayOverwatch. but for the love of god, fix numbani's airport. it's been 4 years already.

  • cyborgrobin dumb (bi)tch energy 🙃 (@cyborgrobin) reported

    my new opinion on overwatch is echo is a trash character who is way too broken.

  • ZombieFlamer Flame (@ZombieFlamer) reported

    Overwatch 2 looks good enough for me lol I do think the main problem with the base game is how the heroes where designed in the first place which isn't really something they could fix now But making the game pve honestly would make it fun since the bad balancing **** won't matter

  • ScuffyOW Artyy ❄️ (@ScuffyOW) reported

    "for overwatch 2 we are upping up. ITS LIKE 5 GAMES IN 1" mafa said this and sees no problem?

  • ZekeFreek ✿ZekeFreek✿ᴴᴰ (@ZekeFreek) reported

    Live service games are the worst thing to happen to gaming. People can't even wrap their heads around the idea that Overwatch 1 support ended and they are heads down working on the full sequel. It's absurd.

  • emiratesbailey Jack Alexander (@emiratesbailey) reported

    Overwatch had the most toxic community I ever had the displeasure of playing in, with people telling you to kill yourself. Plus the repetitive nature of the game just got so boring 😔 I won't be playing the sequel, but I hope for those who are, they fix these issues #overwatch2

  • Shull_ow Shull (@Shull_ow) reported

    @Shoto_ow I don't care about date I just want Overwatch to stop being on life support, if they could just keep a team of devs that keeps working on Overwatch 1 to give us a little bit of content, and not just new skins for events or a new patch that nerfs broken heroes every 2 months

  • MisterBaman Sam Y. (@MisterBaman) reported

    I'm intrigued that they're trying to shore up some of the big problems tanks had in Overwatch 1 with the sequel. The meta got mega boring before long in the first game. #BlizzConline

  • CoffeeBurps Trevor (@CoffeeBurps) reported

    So uh, do we still not like Blizzard for the Hong Kong thing? Did they ever actually fix the issue? Or does everyone like them again since Overwatch 2 was shown off a bit?

  • HoshiFPS H2shi (@HoshiFPS) reported

    To anyone who has hope for ow2 just remember that the issues with overwatch are going to stay if not get worse. Visual/audio changes and pve won't fix the game. The issues you have with it will still be there. If you don't enjoy overwatch right now ow2 won't fix it.

  • TheDJava DJava (@TheDJava) reported

    Overwatch 2 looks amazing, only problem is that we'll probably get no new content until it comes out. Current game will die without any new content

  • SucciAstaroth MayMay (@SucciAstaroth) reported

    @Gale_Adelade the issue is being forced to still have Overwatch to work on, while also having O2 in the distance. short sightedness, maybe, but there's still whole picture to look at

  • Discocheats 96 Cait Bitter Beings (@Discocheats) reported

    the problem then is that I think Overwatch is ******* dire as an esport. like there are other shooters in that space, Siege, CSGO, Valorant now, that outshine it. Overwatch had its niche and it ditched it to be something worse

  • OPEARLESCENCE lucazsz ^.^ (@OPEARLESCENCE) reported

    maybe i'd still play overwatch if playing on pirated copies of windows 10 didn't make the game crash

  • TeriosGaming Cliff (@TeriosGaming) reported

    Let's not forget that Overwatch (1) is a "LIVE SERVICE GAME" that stopped getting meaningful content updates more than a year ago. That is ridiculous and should not be accepted, let alone defended.

  • RogersBrie Brie 🧚🏾‍♀️✨ (@RogersBrie) reported

    Overwatch 2 not having a release date while Overwatch 1 is dying is gonna be a problem though 😭

  • Spring_OW Dima Chuprina (@Spring_OW) reported

    the only problem i have for overwatch 2 is that they announced it too early. Imagine if they announced it right now and said it’s coming out next year. I would have preferred that no cap

  • _Tridd Tom Underwood (@_Tridd) reported

    Overwatch 2 looks great, it’s clear that there’s ambition to make this special. But you didn’t give a release date or any updates on the existing live service title. You’ve signalled an indefinite drought of content, I hope that there’s something unannounced to fill the void.

  • alvicate_ ؜ (@alvicate_) reported

    to solve the problem of power creep overwatch decided to literally buff every hero in the game

  • Masakiss1 Masakiss (@Masakiss1) reported

    @Flashx609 @MicDubTV We already have problems of smurfs cheaters and toxicity a lot in Overwatch community. My point is simply this. FTP and cross platform bring more of those. Anyway you don’t have to convince me. It’s good if I’m wrong after all.

  • Load34651514 CHERRY TOMATO 🍅 (@Load34651514) reported

    @PlayOverwatch you see I didn't have problem with most of the things that you just have shown to us but what I do have problem is that you forgot clearly about Overwatch 1 we didn't get any cinematic and nothing. I have I really appreciate your work about Overwatch2 but what about 1?
