    @Blizzard_Ent I’ve been trying to play Overwatch 2 all day since 12pm PST. I bought the Watchpoint pack for $39.99 just yesterday on the Nintendo eShop… I should be playing this no issues on Day 1, what are you going to provide people who’ve PAID for this inconvenience?

  • ClinttheGamer1 Clint the Gamer (12/15) (@ClinttheGamer1) reported

  • michaelmaddy Bigger Gayer Mike EX+ Ω (@michaelmaddy) reported

    Feel like the biggest problem with Overwatch 2's battle pass is there's too many rewards so the chance your favorite heroes get anything worthwhile is LOW.

    @NaiNyestuff @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS I'm having the same issue. No way they actually expect us to swap just for Overwatch. This better be fixed.

  • loscarbro_ Los the Stampede (@loscarbro_) reported

    If you are having trouble getting into an Overwatch 2 match, try out Rumbleverse for free! #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • imsogoo51269738 Jinxey (@imsogoo51269738) reported

    Went from 300 in front of me, to 20k this game is broken #overwatch

  • flirtxiao lu (@flirtxiao) reported

    I don’t even want to play overwatch until they say something about all our ******* stuff that is just gone. Idc about the server issues address what is going to happen with people losing their skins which btw was supposed to transfer over 🥴

  • zaydia14 zaydia (@zaydia14) reported

    I hope everyone that DDOS'ed the Overwatch 2 servers gets a flat tire #Overwatch2

  • boolynxx 🪦 {fallen} angel 🪦 (@boolynxx) reported

    Who ever has being DDOS’ing overwatch 2 the entire day, just know, there’s like 30K+ people that really hate you right now

  • Coolman94857641 Senpai (@Coolman94857641) reported

    blizzard fix ur ****** game i wanna play overwatch 2

  • Chuggabit ChuggaBoo! (@Chuggabit) reported

    Overwatch 2 is a completely inferior product and it’s not hidden. Many ideas stolen from Apex and done worse. The real inexcusable thing is new characters launching with fractions of what old ones had for their launch. What a mess. This is without the lag issues included.

  • Sheepykin Alex (@Sheepykin) reported

    @PlayOverwatch In overwatch 2, get the Unexpected Server Error, put into a queue at 200 people which drops to 0, Searching for Game Server. Failed... Put into ANOTHER queue behind 8000 people... Drops to 0. Searching for Game Server. Failed, Retrying... PUT INTO ANOTHER QUEUE.

  • PAIN_CABBAGE P.Cabbage (@PAIN_CABBAGE) reported

    FIX UR SERVERS OVERWATCH

  • YoshiiTheBBW ℍ𝕚𝕣𝕠𝕞𝕚 ℍ𝕠𝕤𝕙𝕚𝕜𝕠 ✌🏾 (@YoshiiTheBBW) reported

    Overwatch is going pretty good so far. I haven’t had any problems.

  • terminator5215 NotCireOgerba (@terminator5215) reported

    @aazoz55555 So many people are having this issue so maybe it’s a bug that needs to be fixed. The game made me start as if I was a brand new player and nothing transferred form overwatch 1

  • mortycore NATHANOS (@mortycore) reported

    I am watching my son sit through 500 player queues for Overwatch 2 just to get a server error and restart the queue. cool game. #Overwatch2

  • CoryGaston Cory Alexnder Gaston (@CoryGaston) reported

  • VioletSuccubabe Violet - Succubus (@VioletSuccubabe) reported

  • Taylorsills_ 🌅Taylor🌅 (@Taylorsills_) reported

    So. #Overwatch2 came out today at 12pm PST I am mad. I not mad that the game isn’t working due to a DDoS attack. I’m MORE mad that I actually can’t even play overwatch. BECAUSE THEY TOOK OW1 OFFLINE. I’m mad because I can’t play the one game I’ve been playing for years. Do better

  • CreativeNameSad Creative (@CreativeNameSad) reported

    overwatch 2 is a loading screen simulator in which you watch a number go down only to have an error occur and send you back where you started.
