  • NorazCan Dr.Can (@NorazCan) reported

    @BlizzardCS Fortunately I don’t have rendering problems, but Overwatch 2’s weekly challenges are not tracking correctly. Despite completing many games, the progress of only a few is tracked. It’s so frustrating can’t get the coins or exp. Please fix this bug asap. Thank you

  • JoshGamnChannel J🎃sh Gaming 💀👻 (@JoshGamnChannel) reported

    @spyro155 @r_Spyro1 Gosh I want these to be real so bad!! Activision and Lego have a good business relationship with the Overwatch sets. No reason they couldn't do Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot sets!

  • oktheoo theo (@oktheoo) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch fix your rank system in overwatch it’s actually so *** and it’s not even fun anymore💀

  • kiikazuu kazu°•🎃 (@kiikazuu) reported

    @CeleREDUX There's always a fall guy for everything tho I don't get the issue man. Just like every Overwatch issue was blamed on Jeff Kaplan, or every bad thing with Smash was Sakurai. That's how it works, obviously people are aware there's more than one person involved

  • natschulerr nat (@natschulerr) reported

    the storm cut the internet so it made me disconnect from my ranked overwatch game and now i’m upset

  • KaityKatX25 KaityKatX 💜Team Violet💜 (@KaityKatX25) reported

    Is anybody else having an issue with overwatch 2 freezing up with a black screen on PC?

  • guerrerodavidm David Guerrero (@guerrerodavidm) reported

    @BlizzardCS Overwatch - PC : I've been kicked instantly from a match two times, send to pre-main screen with a "Lost connection to server" message and suspended both times (not an option to reconnect). Packets Loss is my problem but this didn't happened before the last patch. Elp

  • JeKriMo Jeff "made of popsicle sticks" Kristian (@JeKriMo) reported

    @DylanJJacobson @jmgallo Yeah, just looks like more of the same from what I've seen. And my biggest issue with overwatch in general is the other players. Toxic *** place.

  • RiffandR RiffandRage (@RiffandR) reported

    @SamitoFPS Unfortunately the balance in Overwatch is the last priority for Blizzard. Zarya is completely broken compared to picks like Junker Queen, and Sol is another broken hero. They need to actually ‘live’ balance the game instead of leaving characters to run rampant.

  • NotNinjaCat DTR Ninja Cat (@NotNinjaCat) reported

    Overwatch is broken literally I used orisa’s ult on three kids with a mercy dmg boosting me plus my LSHIFT ability was on AND it was charged 96% PWR and yet NONE OF THEM DIED

  • Anthonydtapia93 🎃I Love Sofie♥️👻 (@Anthonydtapia93) reported

    @BlizzardCS I have gotten disconnected multiple times today from overwatch, blizzard:( Please fix soon

  • its_kantje kantje (@its_kantje) reported

  • spookosu spookosu (@spookosu) reported

    @JaceFincham @ALEX68342030 @Chainsaw_EN Nah man you coping harder than the average overwatch player. What’s going on? I’m down to talk to you about your problems at some point alright?

  • NyxSniping_ Severe Nyx (@NyxSniping_) reported

    I was so excited to play overwatch that I forgot how ****** my internet is and how much I would lag. I’m so done

  • WWyette Wyette/yuna (@WWyette) reported

    I have a problem... i've been playing overwatch for 10hrs today

  • IAmGrumm Grumm is talkin about Da Phightins. SAID (@IAmGrumm) reported

    @LizzieLuckk The other thing, its not good enough nor different enough to even want to play it, in my opinion. So, its like, did you just wanna play Overwatch without getting "in trouble?"

  • homie_sama taichibi (@homie_sama) reported

    @frozenfroh Seagull actually plays overwatch so that's no surprise. Is there ANY multiplayer game this isn't immediately the worst ever according to dunkey? I'm starting to think he may be the problem

  • ericfle22068248 eric fletcher (@ericfle22068248) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent don’t know how I’m supposed to play competitive if overwatch won’t track my ingame progress. Please fix this problem as I was looking forward to ranking up. Thanks

  • Blackscarfs1 Blackscarfs (@Blackscarfs1) reported

    @FrankJayyttv @IssacArruda Overwatch 2 requires a valid phone number to be played for some reason pre paid phones are not working companies like straight and Verizon prepaid service and tracphone wireless have all not been able to play because of this.

    OVERWATCH FIX YOUR SERVERS

  • vaIerwie ‏ً (@vaIerwie) reported

    @AssetValuer tell her about the overwatch 2 meta and how broken zarya is

  • BiekerJosh Josh Bieker (@BiekerJosh) reported

    When individuals think that Overwatch 2 is the only game that’s releasing where Activision Blizzard is requiring a phone number to login. The next game they are trying to implement this new “Feature” into is Modern Warfare 2.

  • _Sir_Koi_ 「 𝗞𝗼𝗶 ✨COMMISSIONS CLOSSEEDDDD! (@_Sir_Koi_) reported

    I got banned for a few minutes in Overwatch 2 comp cuz lag, I guess it's a sign that I should start drawing or doing smthing else

  • sadkingTM sadking (@sadkingTM) reported

    @OverwatchNaeri Who's, realistically, going to buy every cosmetic in the game? I get the problem, but I don't think anyone's going to want everything in the game. You had six years to play Overwatch and unlock the skins you wanted, but just because they're now priced, it's a problem?

  • Hugssprouts Coconut ★ (@Hugssprouts) reported

    @hiikohai Aaaa I haven’t updated overwatch to overwatch2 yet but I will soon after I fix my console or buy a new one 😭 I’ll love to play with you
