  • Retsukki Retsukki (@Retsukki) reported

    @Pochipuwu I used to love overwatch amazing game. Fun lore what not. Then it just started getting so... bland at a point. Some heros became completely useless and had no place in the roster because someone else did something better. Broken hero launches and just bad choices overall.

  • itsamenaruto toto ⋆。˚ • (@itsamenaruto) reported

    my personal problem with overwatch has nothing to do with the game. I literally just cannot aim for the life of me

  • NomadCanid Bryce (@NomadCanid) reported

    that's not to say that Overwatch doesn't have issues or that you can't dislike it or that Blizzard hasn't done beyond enough to earn infinite mockery but like 2-3 jokes repeated forever do tend to stop being funny

  • MarkPl08 IMark 🏳️‍🌈 (@MarkPl08) reported

    @BenjiSales Blizzard games and problems at launches… name more iconic duo! Seriously, this is why I learned my lesson and I don’t play any Blizzard games at launches anymore. Problems happened with Diablo 2, it happened with every WoW expansion and now it happens (again) with Overwatch 2

  • moonlaceflowers c (@moonlaceflowers) reported

    tried playing overwatch for the past hour but i experienced awful lagging on the asian server, and game freezes at both the american and asian servers. cant tell if it's simply the game, my internet connection, or my laptop, but genuinely not a pleasant experience

  • wuuuva uva ۵ (@wuuuva) reported

    @wolf_craze @Kephrii yeah had a guy a few games ago using the bastion glitch just to try and win cuz they were losing , and their team was supporting it saying they can’t get banned… like yes, overwatch does bam for exploit usage

  • camohmp4 Alex | Camoh 月 (@camohmp4) reported

    i dont know why people have such trouble understanding why the new monetization feels like **** in comparison to the old overwatch lootbox or not if you played a lot you were able to unlock a large amount of the skins without having to pay a single cent for cosmetics

  • yohueyx Huey✘ (@yohueyx) reported

    did my overwatch comp placements and somehow I got placed bronze 5 but I said **** it it's whatever I'll just climb from bronze.. won 7 games after that and I'm still bronze 5... can yall just fix the rank bug so I can grind in peace smh

  • MommyFortnite Fortnite Mommy ♠️ (@MommyFortnite) reported

    I'm so gonna destroy some losers life by making him support my future Overwatch spending problem

  • Bradonium Bradonium (@Bradonium) reported

    First impressions of overwatch 2... it kinda still ******* sucks. It still has all the problems of overwatch. And the new gamemode is one of the worst ******* things I've ever played.

  • Zwephu Zwephu / ズウェフ 🛬🇰🇷 (@Zwephu) reported

    why am i lagging in overwatch 2 reeeeeeee

  • GlobsterV Globster (@GlobsterV) reported

    @zampi_ondra @TeosGame Here’s the problem though. It is overwatch one. They just made a 20 gig content update w 2 new maps and 3 new hero’s. Making their game free after idk how many years of release seems pretty normal to me

  • Smoovkillalot 𝕽𝖆𝖍𝖘𝖆𝖆𝖓 (@Smoovkillalot) reported

    Im so glad Overwatch 2 is doing bad, they shouldn’t of released this game for another year or 2. And thank god the entire Overwatch community is trashing for this games problems. Overpriced skins, bad free battle pass, no rewarding gameplay, ugly UI, the list goes on

  • JoshuMallaney joshua (@JoshuMallaney) reported

    @PlayOverwatch This game is a joke. Taking the game to free to play was the worst idea. Nonstop issues with servers. Getting penalty's for disconnecting from games and being signed out 3-4 times a game such a joke. Blizzard ruined overwatch and only cares about the money at this point.

    @Qwik MY BOY “HELLO” DONT GOT THE OPTION TO MERGE HIS ACCOUNT WHEN HE FIRST BOUGHT OVERWATCH 1 ON PC CAN YOU FIX THIS?!??

  • grif2005 TheGrifReaper (@grif2005) reported

    @Revov_drawings 1) Delete Tiberius. 2) sue Overwatch for stealing Luna's design. 3) fix the bugs. 4) a champion Level Limit in PvP of at least level 15 ESPECIALLY 4

  • JonahTaylorrTTV Jonah | #TeamBlackPeppa (@JonahTaylorrTTV) reported

    @BlizzardCS My Pink Mercy skin is still not available on my Overwatch 2! Please fix it!!

  • TheDarkSpinez Fake BigWeld (@TheDarkSpinez) reported

    Day 2 of being unable to login to PS5 Overwatch 2 without getting an instant LC-208 login error. I was able to play all day on Saturday and it was great 😭

  • iTwerk4Coins ʞɹǝʍ⊥ (@iTwerk4Coins) reported

    @ichigo31wah @XboxGamePass Overwatch will not be coming to gamepass because it doesnt exist. Skylander likepy wont show because the externals arent really a thing anymore, anything with spiderman would have copyright issues. The rest are possible after the acquitition finalizes.

  • UltorYT Ultor ⚔ (@UltorYT) reported

    @YokaiRiderVT I'm having fun with overwatch but using review sites to voice displeasure at obvious issues isn't review bombing, its reviewing the ******* game. Game journos i s2g...

  • DegenParadox Paradox (@DegenParadox) reported

    Broken. Addicted to Overwatch. Just wanting the world to swallow me whole. After five years of playing this awful game, I have hit rock bottom and only a handful of people have bothered to see through my lies to see how broken I am.

  • L2WithNoiq Jonathan (@L2WithNoiq) reported

    Now that I've actually been able to play Overwatch 2 for 5 seconds without disconnecting it's pretty good, my main issue is hero balancing (Sombra, Sigma, and Genji are really strong imo) and the fact there's not controller deadzone option so aiming feels bad, overall good game👍

  • ohBeerus Ⓑ︎ⓔ︎ⓔ︎ⓡ︎ⓤ︎ⓢ︎™︎ (@ohBeerus) reported

    @Texzl I'm up. Was grinding overwatch comp but due to a known issue with an error code I got a queue ban for 19 hours and won't get a good rank due to a in game issue I hope the devs can make it right cuz I ain't tryna lose a good rank in due to an in game error

  • NomadCanid Bryce (@NomadCanid) reported

    how to fix Overwatch: delete Sombra, make Junker Queen a dps Overwatch is fixed

  • LususNaturae78 Gage Foster (@LususNaturae78) reported

    @danteh That's an issue? If you take in factors of enemy detection range is bigger that reveals Sombra and her hack duration is less than it is in Overwatch 1. If he died by a Sombra it's either he got cocky and wasn't paying attention or Sombra player is too crafty

  • JustFor28480979 Just For News (@JustFor28480979) reported

    Question. Would you want to buy it using real money, which is overwatch coins, or legacy tokens. The problem is that you can't tell which one you are choosing because there are no clear markings onto what you are hovering on. So I used overwatch tokens which costs 1900. Which is
