Now, Blizzard is apologizing and working to fix some of these issues. In [URL='https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/overwatch-2-launch-status-update/700480']a post on Blizzard's forum[/URL], community manager Jodie apologized for the game's launch and detailed some of the ways the team is working to fix these issues. "First, we want to apologize to our players. We expected the launch of Overwatch 2 to go smoothly," the post reads. "We hold ourselves to a higher standard and we are working hard to resolve the issues you are experiencing."
