    Welp ggs #overwatch. Love a disconnect in the middle of the game

  • RochelleyBaby Rochelle🏳️‍🌈🎮 (@RochelleyBaby) reported

    Damn we were winning as well. Fix your servers overwatch @PlayOverwatch

  • GalvanTheGod ♡ K/S | GALVAN! ♡ (@GalvanTheGod) reported

    Xbox Overwatch is no joke anymore. My girlfriend just got in a game and she got DDos attacked booting her off the game entirely in under 3 minutes. All she did was say "ouch" after someone sent a censored curse word message as a response to her "glhf".

  • thawkman9 Bagel (@thawkman9) reported

    Overwatch really kicking me out for server error and not letting me reconnect to the match. Wtf

  • Shannonx___ Shannon💗 (@Shannonx___) reported

    I just wanna play #overwatch and lose more sr, why are servers down 🥲

  • OWAnonymous_ Overwatch Anonymous (@OWAnonymous_) reported

    I really like overwatch 2. I don't see the issue with it being a new game. It has been over 5 years since overwatch 1, we were due for an engine and game upgrade. better than them abandoning it just like they did to their previous games.

  • healingluci Lucian 🌻 🇺🇦 (@healingluci) reported

    Glad to see that I'm not the only one who's Overwatch is tweaking and lagging to all hell.

  • RocknRocknrolli Sweepers | RocknRocknrolli (@RocknRocknrolli) reported

    @Ouren Overwatch’s long-term problems were more a consequence of an incoherent and overly aggressive balancing philosophy than a desire to make top players happy. Like, by the end of Overwatch’s lifespan, top players hated the game WAY more than casual players.

  • the1janitor T1J (@the1janitor) reported

    overwatch devs: why are queue times so bad. this is a difficult problem we must solve also overwatch devs: lets make 3 times more dps heroes than tank or support heroes. in fact lets make the first new hero in overwatch 2 a dps hero!

  • classified14211 Rocky (@classified14211) reported

    Why tf overwatch servers down

  • spottemgottemf1 spottemgottemfan1 (@spottemgottemf1) reported

    @Jkaru_hi Even if the game dies from ****** management I think some other developer will eventually recreate the overwatch “formula”. The only problem is that is probably a while away. Ow, tf2, and any potential competitor has to be in the dirt first.

  • c0rpseangel 𝕺𝖑𝖎𝖛𝖎𝖆 ♡ (@c0rpseangel) reported

    overwatch servers down for anyone else? ;-; #Overwatch

  • LindsayBabexoxo lindsay (@LindsayBabexoxo) reported

    Overwatch banned me for hacking but I literally don’t know how to hack or use cheating software….I tried to appeal but they said they have “evidence” but can’t tell me the “evidence” or what software even caused the issue

  • hexaded_ 𖤍 (@hexaded_) reported

    Overwatch servers Down 🤬! #Overwatch

  • zyphyrxina Zyphyrxina (@zyphyrxina) reported

    Error screen while in the middle of my comp game, jump straight to Twitter to see "overwatch server down" 😭 #Overwatch

  • goatgram14 Goatgram14 (@goatgram14) reported

    Overwatch always has one problem doesn't it?

  • Kaiay_Wong Kaiay (@Kaiay_Wong) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Fix your god damn 200ping rubbish game servers of overwatch 2 now.

  • thawkman9 Bagel (@thawkman9) reported

    @BlizzardCS overwatch 1 keeps kicking players from comp for “unexpected server error” and they can’t get back in. Please fix

  • mercy_sora mercy_sora (@mercy_sora) reported

    @Aniboi132 @C0V_v_V @DeadByBHVR Putting in at least one casual mode would bring players back tho??? Overwatch has had multiple modes for years and has had no problem with those queue times (except for dps role queues cause everyone wants to dps).

  • stardustbalien Star (@stardustbalien) reported

    You know why people have a problem with healing in Overwatch? Because they see the critical sign over a player’s body and think “thats bad im doing bad at healing” and not “my teammate is low i should go heal them”

  • Bootehforlunch ⭕️Anastasia Hunter (Sora) She/Her (@Bootehforlunch) reported

    @BardockLIVE I just wish they would add a “avoid this survivor/killer” in your games for a couple of hrs, like you would get the options in games like Overwatch has. Otherwise that’s only been my problem with the game itself, the rest can be fun without lowlives stalking your stream & games.

  • MakinaYT Makina (@MakinaYT) reported

    @lowkeydbjosh New IMC stations are GOD. Maybe you could rework blue bins around the map for inteligent loot? 👀 Rampart feels OP now, I'm afraid of shields meta (Overwatch pain memories) Had a lot of footsteps sound problems yesterday :(

  • MisterZenruko プロデューサー 🧙‍♂️ (@MisterZenruko) reported

    The biggest L of Overwatch 2 is the removal of asses. The fan service is what made the 1st game based. They literally removed the only motivator in the game. Who wants to grind for cosmetics when there's no *** and the females look like stick people with anime hair. Tragic..

  • 0726LaLucy Luz Ruybal (@0726LaLucy) reported

    @XboxSupport Unable to get on Overwatch, think there are still issues

  • andresdecide Andrés De la Oliva (@andresdecide) reported

    @Maxineviolet @BlizzardCS It's also happening on Overwatch right now. "Game server connection failed. Retrying" forever. People randomly disconnecting from games before I got DCd. BIG server issues for sure...

  • Sorton101 Sorton101✌❤➕ (@Sorton101) reported

    Does anyone know any good editors that understand Overwatch? I'm super rich (lots of money), so payments wouldn't be an issue

  • korewamizu mizu (@korewamizu) reported

    why tf are the overwatch servers down i was about to win … 😭

  • Smokepancakess Smokepancakes (@Smokepancakess) reported

    @mrmcplay @PaladinsGame Overwatch doesn't have this issue 😎

  • Purpleh09745757 Purplehaze (@Purpleh09745757) reported

    @Overwatch Your servers are ****** and kick people, then we get penalized for it. Just got kicked out of game because of server error and now I get a message that I’m in queue after 300 people to join. Get your **** together.

  • Manikinss mani (@Manikinss) reported

    I haven't been able to play Overwatch for like a week and the minute I get on the servers crash🙃
