    @DrCookieeMonstr Mate I hope you have done a recce on that large hill, if it overlooks your base, it might be an issue, them houses look like they might have loot, so id suggest a quick look around, but get the general to supply overwatch for safety!!!! *enjoy your holiday

  • WhoIsMrSlade Slade Spector (@WhoIsMrSlade) reported

    Overwatch 2 feels more broken than the first one.

  • AsunaPC ✧・゚*Asuna*・゚✧ (@AsunaPC) reported

    @kayjii @OWAnonymous_ Exactly why I don’t want to play the OW2 beta. Ppl keep telling me “play zen he’s so broken” as if that’s supposed to make me feel good about the future of overwatch

  • AveryHorton116 Avery (@AveryHorton116) reported

    @Zavallr So yah, the actual seasonal story is hot garbage… but the character stories are good. Problem is that Safiya and Uldren have literally no effect on the plot with Calus or the witness. The season could have been 3 weeks, with character shorts like Overwatch does…

  • _Theo_Dyssey_ Theo Dyssey📸 (@_Theo_Dyssey_) reported

    I need to fix my PC man I wanna play overwatch 2 this year :/

  • VandalBasher VandalBasher (@VandalBasher) reported

    @TheElephantsKid It appears there is one good man to overwatch these young people. Otherwise, there would be issues.

  • CAAFIEND Ayden Pires (@CAAFIEND) reported

    @OWJaeger @DumpsterOw Quit overwatch, problem solved

  • lotoarc Alejandro (Wholesome Arc) (@lotoarc) reported

    @DumbNerdBoy Your problem is looking up Overwatch content

  • AzraelofJustice Azrael & Athena, Former Paladins Of Justice (@AzraelofJustice) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent There is a definitive problem in the Overwatch 2 Beta where frames are dropping HARD while in-game. I'm not exactly sure if anyone has brought this up, but this issue has made it perfectly impossible for me to enjoy the beta. Please fix this issue.

  • Rogue8K Rogue (@Rogue8K) reported

    @dulcetbunnie i think fortnite just sucks I have little to zero problems with finding the motivation to load into an overwatch game

  • ian_c22 Ian Gouws (@ian_c22) reported

  • ser20011 Seͪrvulo Araujo  (@ser20011) reported

    @BlizzardCS I receive the overwatch 2 beta key on the PS5 version, and when opening the error, congratulations on

  • HowdyHowdy18 Boop (@HowdyHowdy18) reported

    @toastermrvl @OverwatchNaeri I haven't had any problems yet and I'm on the Xbox One S XD but I think the Xbox series consoles have always had a problem with overwatch if I'm not mistaken 🤔

  • kaitave_ Foucault's Pudendum (@kaitave_) reported

    @DevTheGuy Of all the design issues I'd have theorized might have plagued Overwatch virtually from the day it launched until today, I would not in a million years have guessed "the dev team gets caught in an endless cycle of struggling to balance the game around tanks, the strongest class"

  • itsTHR1LL UL | Jess 💜 🏳️‍⚧️ (@itsTHR1LL) reported

    @CoachYali overwatch 2 seems half balanced and rogue company for awhile had the philosophy of "if everyones broken its balanced"

  • urdad616 urdad (@urdad616) reported

    @CharltonN2 mercy has her super jump glitch in the first overwatch. maybe they haven’t taken it out

  • MinimMats MINIM (@MinimMats) reported

    @BrookIT2 haha no. I had moral guardian parents (aka normal caring parents) - they would have had a bigger problem with a game like Turok (you knife potato people to gurgle on their own blood). Overwatch is about as tame as you get (excluding the online community)

  • UnitedSpartanz CosmicZirconium (@UnitedSpartanz) reported

    @TheEnemyBrasil @RepulseTL @BikiniBodhi If you want to bring Mikes status into fray, not only was he former at Microsoft but he is current at Blizzard Entertainment. So why do some Blizzard games like Overwatch still have a mnk problem if he understands what the issue could be. Why doesn’t any company just use the fix

  • ReAdam333 Re:Adam (@ReAdam333) reported

    So far with the Overwatch 2 Beta queue times are still an issue. No one wants to play support. I as a support main am so bored with supports. No new ones (yet) and they still have the smallest pool. It just doesn't feel like much has improved with them overall.

  • DiveOnInler DiveOnInler (@DiveOnInler) reported

    The "leave with team" function not working on overwatch 2 beta is a very subtle nod to the fact that if you're playing overwatch you probably don't have any friends. @PlayOverwatch

  • SteamDeckHQ SteamDeckHQ (@SteamDeckHQ) reported

    @KGakukuru @valvesoftware Not bad for Overwatch! What were the visual errors like?

  • MagPolar Polar (@MagPolar) reported

    Ive played apex, valorant, league of legends, and overwatch and in my opinion moira is the worst designed character in any of those games. Not fun to play, Not fun to play against, 0 skill expression and cant be balanced to a level where they are not broken or not useless

  • MC____88 MC_88 (@MC____88) reported

    @TheFulvousFox A lot of online games of this nature do have systems that can differentiate between an accidental disconnect, outside of the player's control, but it seems as if Overwatch just... doesn't.

  • woundedduck25 🐣 Justin Ryan Long 🐣 (@woundedduck25) reported

    Ending this who's the most broken character on overwatch

  • kaitofiIes yoby depiglio (@kaitofiIes) reported

    anyone that is going to buy overwatch 2 and give activision an entire $60 for a copy and paste of the original game please know that you are part of the problem.

  • itzjosh_forlife Joshua (@itzjosh_forlife) reported

    I know how this gonna sound but, seriously? Overwatch 2. It’s driving me insane. I cannot play this ******* game because they have ****** it up SO BAD! Although, it could because of my gameplay but I seriously cannot with this damn game. Overwatch, fix ya game.

  • CNdaiz Ky 🌻 (@CNdaiz) reported

    I tried the Overwatch 2 beta today and it feels less different from Overwatch 1 than I thought it would. Though for me Mercy's guardian angel seemed a bit sus like it wasn't taking me where I wanted to go when I have no problems on normal Overwatch

  • Cookie_Deau 🕷Cookie Deau🕷 (@Cookie_Deau) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ I was playing an overwatch 2 match and I had a team kill emp, but tbh e potg was the hanzo getting a headshot on a junkerqueen that was already low, one kill. I fear the potg system is broken

  • RexieMd Rexie; icemans boyfriend (@RexieMd) reported
