  • ColeKinghorn Cole Kinghorn (@ColeKinghorn) reported

    Went 7-1 on my Overwatch 2 tank placement generally performing really well in the games and got placed Bronze 5, the lowest rank in the game. Apparently, this is a common issue. That's an easy uninstall for me. Goodbye Overwactj!

  • NRDillow Nick Dillow (@NRDillow) reported

    @icklenellierose Yeah, they shut all the overwatch 1 servers down right before 2 came out then everyone’s 1 file was updated to become 2. And then 2 has had massive server issues for the whole first week it’s been out

  • miscu_ miscu (@miscu_) reported

    potg is still completely broken in overwatch 2. the system will prioritize a killstreak from someone in a case where a fight was more or less already won, versus a healer ult that genuinely saved the entire match

  • Wildfir83315531 Wildfire (@Wildfir83315531) reported

    @Inker_comics Got the problem that my champs were locked but it got solved after one day. Atleast i started to have fun playing overwatch again, the new reworks from some champions are quite funny

  • MitchMitcheson Mitch - Phoenix2081 (@MitchMitcheson) reported

    @elbethium Can I ask what's the actual problem.? I banged my number in to play overwatch and wouldn't even know now. Especially in an age where I've got 2 thingy majiggy authentication on things. Doesn't it kind of protect me? Other than a hack where info is stolen I can't see a problem?

  • sinistersamura1 Sinister Samurai (@sinistersamura1) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Is the battlepass achievements not working? Im level 30 on the pass and havent got the achievements for them or are they from overwatch 1?

  • wormcup wormcup (@wormcup) reported

    @maxxyissogay i have not had a single problem with overwatch 2 L

  • MasterMarioMX MasterMarioMX (@MasterMarioMX) reported

    I tried Overwatch 2 and...leeet's just say that I have LAG on THE FREAKING TUTORIAL! it's a miracle I can play the games I played before now that I think about it..

  • ccmizu ry (@ccmizu) reported

    @nonameuzi @eyeluding @goopiow as a flex healer, in overwatch 2 hes been a bit more of a issue, getting picks on squishies or even just pressuring their team seems to be a bit easier with him. close combat with him constantly as a healer is annoying and with a horrible team he can just ruin us from flanking

  • GlitchedOmen GlitchedOmen (@GlitchedOmen) reported

    @BlizzardCS there should be an achievement on overwatch 2 for how many disconnects you get from the game, or how many people get disconnect while in a match

  • kylefraser1 Kyle (@kylefraser1) reported

    @derkdurski Hope you didn't actually abuse the glitch. blizzard has been known to have a no bs stance on bug abuse. I remember the overwatch apocalypse of 2016/17. The good old mei ice wall glitch. Surely they won't ban everyone again.

  • isoqha Ian 🦋 (@isoqha) reported

    overwatch 2 just needs to work on balancing the tanks dps healers maps, fix the servers, make better game modes and also fix some of the bugs and the game would be pretty good yeah

  • MrBenkher Benkher (@MrBenkher) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Question. Will you guys fix the crash glitch on Overwatch 2? I've been playing overwatch 1 for a while now. and never had such problems. But then when i went on the overwatch 2 First beta. there was this bug where it crashed out of nowhere. You fixed that glitch. but it's back

  • scuwuril suspekttreez (@scuwuril) reported

    @BlizzardCS so my friend is trying to play overwatch 2 however her phone number is somehow associated with an account her friend used on her PlayStation 4 years ago which she can not access. Is there a fix for this or is she just unable to play your game forever?

  • Cloudfulie Cloud (@Cloudfulie) reported

    @lilyansArt I hope you do too! Ohh I didn’t know that? I haven’t played overwatch before so idk if maybe there is some problems maybe

  • fizoto 🌱 Phizoto 🦑🐙 (@fizoto) reported

    Overwatch 2 temporarily removing Bastion and Torbjorn from the game to fix bugs? Who happen to be two of my mains? I’d feel personally attacked if I still played.

  • Lynn8Kate ⚡️𝐱𝐌𝐬 𝐄𝐱𝐢𝐥𝐞⚡️ (@Lynn8Kate) reported

    I’m getting tired of being kicked out of games in overwatch. I just got kicked out of a comp game. It gave me no errors, the whole app closed out then gave me an error when I reopened the game :/

  • boihasnofinger Boihasnofinger (@boihasnofinger) reported

    Bastion glitch got so bad in overwatch 2 that they removed him, didn't expect that to happen lol

  • PatentedWind362 Roberto (@PatentedWind362) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Yeah i still can't play overwatch 2 nice fix

  • TheClintor Toris (@TheClintor) reported from Denton, Texas

    I never played much of #Overwatch and I'm debating trying out #Overwatch2 but all the issues really are making me skeptical.

  • ossoklose osso (@ossoklose) reported

    @c0ughdrop5 @Kephrii from what I understand, overwatch is being dumb on their side I was playing on 380 ping yesterday with no jitter, so some servers are bad, not your issue, it's overwatch

  • Jierace2004 Jonathon Ierace (@Jierace2004) reported

    @PxppyX_X @MassifireX32 @PlayOverwatch i’ve had this issue since the day overwatch 2 came out. i first logged into the wrong account, didn’t play a single game, logged into my proper account and haven’t been able to get in since

  • R3dInfinity__ R3D (@R3dInfinity__) reported

    @LoSapphires Since I got the PS5 version of OW2 my achievements didn't carry over. Even though I have all the sprays, my PSN shows none of that. So it could be both PlayStation and Overwatch at fault. I don't mind the achievement reset but the issues with tracking them- 😬

  • LucyZiegler95 Angela Castro 🇷🇺 (@LucyZiegler95) reported

    I wonder if @BlizzardCSEU_EN @PlayOverwatch will be compensating players for the Overwatch coins we couldn’t get before the challenges reset today. All of these problems and constant disconnects, made it impossible for some (I’d even say for most) people to complete them all.

  • Steven909_Live Steven ( Kiriko & Widow player) (@Steven909_Live) reported

    “Overwatch 2 glitches this, Overwatch 2 bugs that, Overwatch 2 broken servers this…” let me know when Kiriko has a @BostonUprising skin in the game for me to show off 🦊💙

  • MrBenkher Benkher (@MrBenkher) reported

    @PlayOverwatch It was basically Fixed in the beta 1. in the beta 2 it wasn't here at all. But now. in the full release. the glitch is back. and i'm not the only one experiencing that. A lot of people from the overwatch discord servers are also experiencing that. Can't you just fix that again?

  • KosameFPS Kosame (@KosameFPS) reported

    @BlizzardCS How do I get past an infinite manual login loop once Overwatch is launched? It says "connecting", then it asks me to enter my email and password, once done, it repeats this process infinitely. I have switched phone numbers as well.

  • Emmett_OW2 Emmett (Average OW2 Mauga Enjoyer) (@Emmett_OW2) reported

    @DylanChaseOW yh the ddossers are just a bunch of morons with 0 brainsells, i don't blame blizzard for the ddos attacks tbh, and i feel bad for the Overwatch team about the ddos attack as well as the bugs in the game itself😔😔😔

  • AntonLFG 🎙 Anton 🎥 (@AntonLFG) reported

    @resleyGG but its overwatch so less of a problem
