Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GamerGirlBLU GamerGirlBLU (@GamerGirlBLU) reported

    Overwatch is probably the only place I’ve seen fix lootboxes. You could get duplicates FOR DAYS but at least you could buy the skin with coins from duplicates. They eventually fixed it so you have a much higher chance of getting something you don’t have

  • KirbyZeii Kirby 🍥 (@KirbyZeii) reported

    @matheus_polaro @mr_znakez @PlayOverwatch Not true at all, I’m an hard r6 player and the real problem on this game was the server/cheater and a big lack of content. But the competitive side of both r6 and overwatch is literally what’s making these games so good

  • FroggersTweets Explaining frogger tweets (@FroggersTweets) reported

    @FroggerOW This frogger tweet refers to a popular complaint about Overwatch 2, that there is no ranked mode. This frogger tweet reminds us that ranked ow2 will have the same core problem as Overwatch 1 ranked, in that other people are dumb and will play silly comps and annoy everyone

  • eltacobravo1620 jackiee (@eltacobravo1620) reported

    I have a problem. Accidentally got back into Overwatch, it is now 6:30 am

  • gamecontinuum Game Continuum (@gamecontinuum) reported

    @MintBlais They biggest problem with OverWatch 2 is small maps & 5v5 when it needs to be 7v7 to really make it fun, 2 tanks 2 healers 3 dps. Also the current broken system & heros along with so called legal "aimbots" zaps all the fun out of the game. @PlayOverwatch

  • Corps_De_Blah Oz Deveraux (@Corps_De_Blah) reported

    @LivAverageGamer @EricMPerez_ That’s their problem then??? Overwatch 2 is PVP and PVE you cannot ask what they were doing for three years and then invalidate a whole different game that their making for the game. That’s incredibly mindless

  • StephenIsCringe Stephen (@StephenIsCringe) reported

    After playing Overwatch 2 for a week. all I gotta say is that.. WHY TF DOES ROLE QUEUE STILL EXIST. MAN ITS ALREADY 5v5 LIKE WTF and some of the broken heroes such as (bastion and Sombra) are already reworked and with 1 less player you removed the old OW1 meta like bruh

  • burgess_ag Sam Burgess (@burgess_ag) reported

    @HoolyMcg @lakeside_farm Would, but was told there is compatibility issues with Chlorpuryphos and Overwatch.. plus i got caught last year and had to go back over it again

  • matheus_polaro Matheus (@matheus_polaro) reported

    @KirbyZeii @PlayOverwatch That's the problem with Overwatch. Blizzard expects a UNREALISTIC amount of cooperation on the game and some people like you actually believe in it. There's no way you can make Ball work on a normal Ranked game.

  • ReptileGuy_ 🖤RomanticDom🖤 (@ReptileGuy_) reported

    @itsTomokocchi They did remove it. When overwatch first came out, blizzard was under controversy for an emote that shows off tracers butt and they had to both remove the original emote and fix the size of her butt to please the mobs attacking them calling them womanizers or whatever.

  • ReedandSnow Snow (@ReedandSnow) reported

    overwatch could almost fix itself by removing role queue and banning 7 random heros every month

  • ascabgaming Ascab 🇨🇴 (@ascabgaming) reported

    @yesmynameissumo IMO the Activision deal is not about the games but the audience they generate. Just with Warzone and Overwatch there is a considerable number of players that will be consuming a Xbox service. MS is looking to increase the number of players that consume the Xbox Platform.

  • AnubisRaptora 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝐄𝐘𝐄 𝓸𝓯 𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐔𝐒 (@AnubisRaptora) reported

    @PLANETZCRO “Fareeha Amari. Medjai Captain and member of Overwatch, at your service~” She says, returning his introduction, before listening as he spoke again. “Mm. Dear old mom, huh?” She snorts in distaste, before waving a dismissive hand. “I look forward to working with you too, Ronan.”

  • JKurtan Kurtan (@JKurtan) reported

    @Apply The problem is that for people who haven't played the game in months and years it will feel the same so they won't come back, and for many who did play overwatch 1 till now the changes are not worth the wait time and making it into more arcade deathmatchy game

  • Sardis104 Sardis (@Sardis104) reported

    6v6 in Overwatch was good, so is 5v5 on beta. But it kinda feels like they had no idea how to balance tanks so they just cut one out. Same with Role Q, supports were too good and nobody played dps, so they forced 2:2:2, again balance issue. It all feels like a band aid.

  • NonShlorp ShlorpPilled (@NonShlorp) reported

    You know Overwatch fans have broken brains if they actually like role queue lol

  • sockdeluxe sock (ultra extreme edition) (@sockdeluxe) reported

    remember when overwatch had this glitch that when widowmaker activated her ult her *** got bigger how did that **** even happen like how could that glitch even occur

  • Dat0ldschoolkid ✨DJ dat Chill Kool Kat✨ (@Dat0ldschoolkid) reported

    @Chaotic_Defiler Can we go back to day one of overwatch where almost everyone was broken?

  • hockeyspaz62 H🎮CKEYSPAZ62🇺🇸 (@hockeyspaz62) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent #Overwatch 2nd day in a row that a top 500 was placed in a QP match against low levels. FIX your match making! At least they left when I pointed it out instead of saying EZ.

  • RuffMasterTwit Ruff (@RuffMasterTwit) reported

    To the people complaining about queue times in overwatch 2 it’s a CLOSED BETA in the middle of SPRING. If you thought they would fix the game with a beta you have not been paying attention. It’s a refresh and was promised as one. @PlayOverwatch

  • jama_twidder jama (@jama_twidder) reported

    Anyone else having trouble hearing where footsteps are coming from in the OW2 beta? #Overwatch

  • OmegaAce_ Rob Hein (@OmegaAce_) reported

    I still don’t know how Overwatch 2 could fix queue times only thing I could think is get of role queue or make 20 heros for release date like they did for OW1 but instead make most of them healers and tanks not dps to balance out the roster that seems like the only solution.

  • TheAsianFish WILLL (@TheAsianFish) reported

    @HypeRayy clearly they heavily underestimated the excitement for overwatch 2, and they didn’t ‘upscale their infrastructure’ (🤓) enough. you can’t just simply add and remove slots for login services it’s not just entering a number into a box, thus why there’s a queue.

  • AlexanderRezk 🌊 Alexander M Rezk 🌊 (@AlexanderRezk) reported

    @PaulTassi @Forbes Because no one cares and they should have just supported Overwatch (you know the live service competitive game they abandoned which doesn’t need a numbered sequel). We’ve been burned on our investment in this IP before.

  • SenpaiMorgana Vayne (@SenpaiMorgana) reported

    @OddestOfRogues Issues with overwatch 2: 69.99$ for the same game

  • arr093 b (@arr093) reported

    @CSGO can you make overwatch available to silver ex gn... holy sht ***** this is unreal... the only reason I'm not gn is cheaters and I did my ow service well as gn..now I can't..how dumb

  • plsbshiny b (@plsbshiny) reported

    @ReptileGuy_ @itsTomokocchi yea but the thing is they didn't, and it wouldn't ******* be an issue if they did. overwatch 2 has bigger issues than porn addicts misremembering asscheeks

  • SneckoEye Catgirl Riven (@SneckoEye) reported

    "In Overwatch 2, we're making every tank ******* Broken. Except Hog. **** you hog" - OW2 team

  • aizyesque Elliott 'not aizy' Griffiths (@aizyesque) reported

    I was always kinda intrigued by Overwatch conceptually but I swear I've never seen anyone who actually likes that ******* game OW2 doesn't exactly seem to have solved those issues

  • lakeside_farm Lakeside Farm (@lakeside_farm) reported

    @burgess_ag @HoolyMcg I did overwatch chlor talstar 680r/up hammer and li700 no problem was told after li700 was a not compatible but I'd finished by then Agitation in batch tank and suck overwatch through with water
