Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • wahMarsh Marsh (@wahMarsh) reported

    @TimeGear_ Wasn’t the point that people pick and choose which controversy they want to make a big deal about? Like he mentions overwatch 2 which didn’t have basically any controversy when it released despite the issues actually being with the devs and not just one person who’s the creator

  • merleia Piña Col-ada 🍍🥥 (@merleia) reported

    Having some issues with my d key. Mainly noticeable during Overwatch causing me issues with dodging/strafing. If I take the keycap off (I did to clean, in case it was that) it works fine. As soon as I put the cap back... ugh...

  • DaikoLePaiko Daiko (@DaikoLePaiko) reported

    ( just got the laggiest game in overwatch. jesus christ. entire lobby was lagging.

  • Exec_Rig_Veda_ 200% Rising (@Exec_Rig_Veda_) reported

    @ElHefeonTwitch @Haipa_Sonikku @fightstickart Thats a lie and you know it, csgo plays extremely diferent to overwatch or cod, and the skill gap is still the same issue as in fighting games or mobas. You either find it fun or dont. Just say "i dont like mobas/fighting games" you dont have to come up with a nonsensical reason.

  • darklillies_ Lillies (@darklillies_) reported

    First you, you refuse to transfer or solve my issue of giving me back all of my skins that I played hours on your game to obtain, and now gaslighting me OUT OF $10??? You already stole about 44 skins from me, most of them now worth $1500 Overwatch Coins = $66,000 USD Dlls.

  • RoninPale Ronin (@RoninPale) reported

    Roadhog players never had to learn how to tank for real so now they're a useless ******* with a large health pool. Get ******** out of Overwatch. Useless players who had it too good for too long with a broken *** hero

  • dracula39828008 dracula (@dracula39828008) reported

    @CallofDuty Millions of dollars of profit and you cant release an update that isnt broken. Even Blizzard has their stuff together for Overwatch. You guys are nothing but a disappointment as a game company. Pull your heads out from where the sun dont shine and DO YOUR JOB!

  • m8rcymain Jasper !! owtwt /// Im gay ?!?!? (@m8rcymain) reported

    no wifi = no overwatch = heart broken

  • superbondez superbondez (@superbondez) reported

    @OW_SVB This was a problem since overwatch started. Do we not remember everyone calling people who climbed boosted? This is not new.

  • gembears Gemma Rahmatallah (@gembears) reported

    how is overwatch gonna crash on itself and then suspend me like IM NOT THE PROBLEM

  • Toppo2099 apocalypse1280 (@Toppo2099) reported

    @MissMANIA30 LMAO! That's a good one. Overwatch 2 doesn't have a problem. Like it's ridiculous. It's always hot or miss with Switch lol, but the game was perfect the past few months. Just annoying.

  • TabernaDadoRoto 𝕷𝖆 𝕿𝖆𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖓𝖆 𝖉𝖊𝖑 𝕯𝖆𝖉𝖔 𝕽𝖔𝖙𝖔 (@TabernaDadoRoto) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_ES fix the matchmaking or @OverwatchES is dead.

  • Magma10698223 Zumorito (@Magma10698223) reported

    @aaronkellerOW @PlayOverwatch I will only play Overwatch again when the matchmaking fix update will come, because thanks to this problem I could land again aud Platinum, and that although I had to fight my way up so high. #Overwatch #Overwatch2

  • Mixer_Kraken Mixer (@Mixer_Kraken) reported

    Hmm... Do I grind out my main and ditch streaming Overwatch until I can fix my issues in OBS? Or do I say "I played nearly 20 hours of Overwatch this week between Comp and Scrims alone (including Queues), let me play another RPG for a bit on Stream."

  • josenuevomusic José Nuevo (@josenuevomusic) reported

    Gotta try the S-tier characters in Overwatch 2 I knew Kiriko Was fuckimg broken!

  • SparrowSucz Sparrow (@SparrowSucz) reported

    t wifi and open overwatch again for it to not load so I restart my computer and open overwatch for it to still not load so I go into windows updates and turns out I have like 7 updates so I download 4 updates and for the other 3 it says error im guessing it's because I didn't res

  • _primey Brian (@_primey) reported

    Why does Blizzard Support need a screenshot of HWMonitor when Overwatch 2 crashes. That's not going to show anything important relating to my type of crash. Idiots

  • SupineFPS Supine (@SupineFPS) reported

    @OW_SVB Issue is, overwatch 2 took so long to one out, I didn’t put the time to rank up in overwatch 1 because I was waiting for the second game, never took the first one seriously. In overwatch two I started blaming myself for every loss even if it wasn’t my fault, just so I improved.

  • ZeusKiller13 Chase (@ZeusKiller13) reported

    I hate the Overwatch 2 matchmaking system so much. Get rolled one game, then stomp the next game, makes no sense at all. Fix this @PlayOverwatch

  • SparrowSucz Sparrow (@SparrowSucz) reported

    love it when I'm opening overwatch and signing in my account and then it says connecting and im staring at my screen waiting for it to connect and it's still not working so I restart overwatch do the same thing and it still says connecting and doesn't load so I swap to a differen

  • Kokichi_of_Lies King_Fisher (@Kokichi_of_Lies) reported

    @jamesperrott1 @PlayOverwatch If Blizzard can make most of the Wow Players play as the Horde instead of Alliance, then I'm sure as hell they can make Overwatch a money pot with a broken ranked system and unbalanced characters. Oh, wait... They did 😐

  • KokaineNRF igloo 🥶 (@KokaineNRF) reported

    im becoming a problem on overwatch 😈

  • TheSaxMan_ Estevan (@TheSaxMan_) reported

    Overwatch ranked in low elo lobbies as a solo is terrible. I’m not even gold yet and the enemy continues to have diamond/masters name cards who dumpster our team. They said they did a roll out to fix this but it doesn’t feel like it

  • iamabuilding474 A-TRAIN (@iamabuilding474) reported

    @operagxofficial why ******** can I not play overwatch dating sim on your browser? Fix this immediately please!

  • angryuniicorn Leah ✨ (@angryuniicorn) reported

    It’s a huge issue that the wider Overwatch community doesn’t seem to care to do anything about. Even when people say “I feel bad for Mercy mains, they get **** on so much.” They still won’t come to our defense when people are being ******** solely because we play Mercy.

  • brookeisinpain brooke👾 (@brookeisinpain) reported

    i need a man to fix me so i can stop playing overwatch

  • MarikoRawralton MarikoRawralton (@MarikoRawralton) reported

    overwatch matchmaking still can't fix its ******* constant stomp problem if i'm **** at the game, why do i keep getting matched with people whose aim is so good it looks like ******* aimbot? match me with equally **** players so i can have a good time ffs

  • Madyelizaa マディ🦋 (@Madyelizaa) reported
