    @pcgamer What is the problem? If you liked the game you should have buy it before and keep it. Now technically the game is revamped, overwatch for doing the same has renamed to overwatch 2. If you want a exclusive revamped game for free download it from owners shop.i have fg in steam.

  • DolphiePyuu Dolphie 🌌🐬 2.0 Redebut ARC (@DolphiePyuu) reported

    Couldn't stream Overwatch and play smoothly v-v Im lagging too much my aim is brainded

  • Tim_StarSol_ Tim_StarSol (@Tim_StarSol_) reported

    Motivation to grind after the 10th game where my lane Cinder is dead before Zap. But unfortunately, I won’t quit the game, just like Overwatch. I love Pokémon like Absol and Talonflame too much to quit so PLEASE, FIX THE GAME! And make me care to get better.

  • CorruptedColor_ Salem (@CorruptedColor_) reported

    There's no other way to buy the base game anymore. The base game on the psn store was replaced with this broken pack. Anyone who didn't already have overwatch is getting screwed over. And it's the price of the base game so. If it isn't working it shouldn't be in the store.

  • leeandloki Queen LaQueefa (@leeandloki) reported

    I’ve been a die hard player of #overwatch (until the China issue) since it’s inception. As a faithful player watching the #overwatch2 footage, I foresee it dying if they don’t reinstate 6v6 play. You’re taking away any fun wildcards/dynamic play and haven’t even realized it.

  • KenRaves Don't you understand? No one wishes to go on. . . (@KenRaves) reported

    @appleciderwitch tbh it's melting my mind that Overwatch 2 is just going to replace Overwatch 1. Feel like for the money I wasted finding out I had a gambling problem with the loot boxes, they could at least try to figure out patching in like system-link so I can 6v6 at a LAN or something

  • LVCKII_ LVCKII ➡️ London Film & Comic-Con 2022 (@LVCKII_) reported

    @Hypotoria @Sea_X_Lxnder @Opticwolfsstud1 Hypo is a saint, playing Overwatch on 500 ping? Not a problem for him (or so it seems) 🫡

  • wolfnation80 wolfnation80 (@wolfnation80) reported

    @PlayOverwatch You get overwatch 1 and you also get stuff for overwatch 2 so please give me overwatch 1 because as of right now you are telling a lie so please fix this

  • Total_Havyk Quackmaster (@Total_Havyk) reported

    @GeneralCalobe @HaloTicket2 The single fact that you need mention overwatch's monetization system and loot boxes to downplay why this "isn't Soo bad" should've told why this is a problem in the first place.

  • Tedthekelpie Sam West (@Tedthekelpie) reported

    @CaddyYP @BarryGr66 @Ashley_Jacobs92 If you had a problem paddock you could get it pretty clean in three years with lupins/ultro, into canola/overwatch to wheat Sakura

  • banishedfished 🏳️‍🌈🐙 super scrungus 🐙🏳️‍🌈 (@banishedfished) reported

    @ithayla i much prefer grids myself bc i hate grappling with hitboxes, but otherwise gears tactics tickles me so nicely - especially in how it addresses the overwatch-creeping problem. really hope firaxis is paying attention here

  • BecomeBoundless Bobby🌹💙 (@BecomeBoundless) reported

    @BlizzardCS This feels stupid to complain about right now, but I was connected to Battlenet on YouTube, but received no Overwatch tokens. I was watching on my PC. I don't seem to have this problem when watching through the OWL app or the YouTube app on my phone.

  • cj24725766 cj (@cj24725766) reported

    Can we talk about how #Overwatch2 #Overwatch Still is not working and i paided $59.95AUD for the watchpoint pack and its 5 days from the beta i paid $59.95AUD for and CANT BLOODY PLAY

  • EpicGamerMan247 I am Epic Gamer (@EpicGamerMan247) reported

    @LegatoSkyheart @IGN I really don’t see why people are having such a problem with Overwatch 1 being overwritten, it’s in a horrible state rn and 5v5 fixes most of the major problems of 6v6.

  • Arx_UK Arx 💤 (@Arx_UK) reported

    The only issue is, with Overwatch 2 on the horizon, and potential Moira reworks being spoken about, it could be hundreds of hours of wasted effort. But at least some of the prep work should carry over into Overwatch 2.

  • SamitoFPS Samito (@SamitoFPS) reported

    Why we NEED an MMR Reset (link below) The biggest problem Overwatch 2 has had is by far the perception of what the game actually is. Not only is priority #1 making the game feel fresh and new, it’s showing the industry it is in fact a new game. If we don’t start fresh in (1/2)

  • R1ppeQ R1ppeD (@R1ppeQ) reported

    @tdawggVAL you retarded? thats how overwatch do to champions not riot buff other champions little bit, chamber is not the problem 2 traps was cool and they already nerfed it.

  • AgwanLoL Jay (@AgwanLoL) reported

    @Dinodogstudio @xWhtever @ButchMoira_ overwatch has no issues making characters gay or ******* etc so they would have no issue saying Moira was trans or uses different pronouns if it was lore accurate so stop lying

  • gren_frog victor (@gren_frog) reported

    @Talya003 @OWAnonymous_ i would not have an issue with that i give it the green light (i am john overwatch)

    @GPrime85 One time in overwatch i wrote "gg" 5 times and they banned from the online servers, like come on fix ur god dammed game

  • AliciaJakobsson DarthNoob @ Lizard Mother (@AliciaJakobsson) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I have my personal problems with overwatch but srsly? Why just delete original overwatch for a, in my opinion, bad version. Lootboxes were so fun to get whenever you leveled up, but having battlepass instead? Hell no

  • Vanabhavayogi Thomas Wattenhofer (@Vanabhavayogi) reported

  • seby_seby21 Sebastian Marin (@seby_seby21) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Hello Guys ! 👋. Is the overwatch watchpoint pack for PS5 fixed now?. I know there has been many issues with it, and I want to make sure its good before I buy it.

  • ian_c22 Ian Gouws (@ian_c22) reported

    And you know not I nor any of the millions that bought and Rage Quit Overwatch is going to set a foot anywhere near OW2! Broken App!!!!!!

  • achmedthviolent Lord (@achmedthviolent) reported

    @furyied "Not broken"- Nards overwatch

  • AustinHeller8 MoonLaxrYT (@AustinHeller8) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent I recently bought the overwatch 2 watchpoint pack on ps4. I tried to find it in the library and it wasn't there. I looked at the application and it said I didn't buy it, which I did. Blizzard if your listening please fix this. I spent $40 on this.

  • Legoshi_BS Isaac 🇺🇦 (@Legoshi_BS) reported

    @SamitoFPS I think you are the biggest Problem for Overwatch

  • _muhow muh (@_muhow) reported

    .@BlizzardCS are the issues with the overwatch 2 watchpoint pack on playstation resolved yet?

  • NoMindToThink Yumirow (@NoMindToThink) reported

    @ScottieYT1 @Metro_OW I mean, no, but that's pretty much it. They will change the engine too, but yeah it's more a ow 2.0 than an overwatch 2 per say. If they don't fix the matchmaking (which they don't seem to want to fix), I'll probably play more pve than anything tbf
