Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • canwestillhang 🦇jess (@canwestillhang) reported

    The overwatch streamers are constantly saying a hero is broken like literally constantly. My advice is play another game? Lol just a suggestion. If every single hero is so broken and op just **** off and play something else? This is the game lol like what. Im not understanding..

  • Lo9LoBaBa lobaloom acquired🙈💅 (@Lo9LoBaBa) reported

    @PeekGod @OverwatchCaval No lol that thing should not be on as long as it’s touching enemies 💀 make it last 5-8 seconds and that’s it. Making it last forever is literally unhealthy for a game like overwatch where the whole lobby is fighting in one spot. An ult like this is so stupidly broken

  • kkurabins ero 🎧 (fan account) (@kkurabins) reported

    no that last thing might be a problem. just today i was playing overwatch while watching YouTube, being in a vc with friends and going on both twitter and instagram during queues. heck I even have a video playing while I'm writing this tweet.

  • HopeJustice1938 Colin Cochrane (@HopeJustice1938) reported

    @Win98Tech Replace buy with play*. I have trouble remembering this game is going to be free to play. It's Overwatch 2 all over again!

  • thereneux Reneux (@thereneux) reported

    Yay new GeForce drivers dropped. Previous one (528.02) was making Overwatch crash so I had to go back to 527.56. Hopefully this one doesn't

  • fifafeet Ronnoc (@fifafeet) reported

    @Benoslays @VezWed Like I want them to nerf these heroes but overwatch can't find a balance in making a hero insanely overpowered or incredibly useless,however, I do believe 1 shots are usually the biggest problem in a character being overpowered or not.

  • kanteike Kanteike (@kanteike) reported

    @LegoUnlocked I would buy the medusa thing, but not the whole bundle, i dont get why they dont let you get the items separately, specially after Blizzard had trouble with it in overwatch

  • ShittyBuckMain Vittorio's Happy Trail (@ShittyBuckMain) reported

    Every overwatch game I lose is because of someone else. I am simply never the problem

  • fifafeet Ronnoc (@fifafeet) reported

    @VezWed 1 controller player can play her in comparison to 100 mnks, think she will always be a problem in overwatch unless they took out her 1 shot feature which I don't expect them to ever do.

  • lu_cidicnights Lucid🌙 (@lu_cidicnights) reported

    @NVIDIAGeForceUK #NVIDIAOverwatch2 if i got this i dont think i'd need to go back to therapy due to overwatch related trauma this would fix it on its own

  • TheDigitalShay Digital Shay (@TheDigitalShay) reported

    @Jonathan_Blow I guess this can happen at different game aspects. Overwatch has this problem. People are bad at team compositions so force them into one (now you can't switch when it really feels like you need to). Tank characters are fun to play but too strong so make them all equally boring.

  • Akaibeeyume 𝙰𝚔𝚊𝚒𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚊𝚢𝚞𝚖𝚎🍥 (@Akaibeeyume) reported

    @DpsDeku can we got back to when overwatch didn’t kick u from the server in a comp game and ban you for a season it happened 3 times….. what ****** u have to play x amount of matches to reduce the penalty for the disconnect

  • lexhatter lexi (@lexhatter) reported

    Am i the only one experiencing crashes in Overwatch lately? I crashed 5 times today 1 of the times being in a comp game not to mention the usual daily crash if i dare to try and open my history to check smth.. ( and yes it is not a problem from my pc ty Blizzard )

  • Huskerborn78 Steve Deane (@Huskerborn78) reported

    @BlizzardCS getting a BN– 564 error on overwatch 2 downloaded on PS4. Are servers down? #Overwatch2

  • UncleHox Hussle Hox Helmsley™ (HHH) (@UncleHox) reported

    Overwatch has to fix this mercy problem competitively at a high level. Everything we hate about the game is connected right back to that character

  • JesseIsAlright Jesse James (@JesseIsAlright) reported

    @BlizzardCS been having constant problems with Overwatch 2 booting me out of games and kicking me out to Home Screen. Been a persistent problem for at least 3 days now.

  • jokez4790 Ya Boi. Skinny penis (@jokez4790) reported

    @ruallsion @ZoneCrimZon @Separer Warframe, division, marvel avengers, overwatch, world of warcraft, PSO2. Longer a game is played the more stuff that interferes with its code and causes more problems.

  • WillowAsh WillowAsh (@WillowAsh) reported

    So stream was cut short due to pc overheating, I know what the problem is, its due to where my pc is placed and its not geting enough air. I will be spending the day moving around my setup. If I feel like it I will be live with some Overwatch 2 later!

  • impact_ttv It'sImpact (@impact_ttv) reported

    Damage amp is only a problem because supports got good at playing Dead By Daylight: Overwatch Edition and now y'all can't kill us.

  • NotALemur Ante Flan @ ANE (@NotALemur) reported

    I’ve gotta uninstall overwatch until they fix matchmaking. The queue times are nice, but the games are rarely good. Totally one-sided too much of the time.

  • Xan_69420 Xan (@Xan_69420) reported

    @ProChara Its really funny to me how similar the situations in the splatoon and overwatch communities are. Both franchises released their newest game a few months ago, have a very strict meta ruining the game at high level and infrequent balance patches not addressing the problem correctly

  • Flappypony89 🍂🍁Flappy 2.0 🍁🍂 (@Flappypony89) reported

    @SpectralFigure @OverwatchNaeri "Someone tries to debate fairly about any characters balance" Overwatch community: Uuh, seems a skill issue for me. You are part of the problem why overwatch 2 is the same bullshit as 1. And I'm not saying this because our opinions doesn't match. What a pity...

  • EmmaThePepega Em (@EmmaThePepega) reported

    Anyone having visual problems with @PlayOverwatch right now? I have light glitches all over the screen and some see-through walls 😳 #Overwatch

  • liIrue rue (@liIrue) reported

    is anyone else having server issue on overwatch? :/

  • LittleRoll3 Dumbingway (@LittleRoll3) reported

    i love overwatch... i love that one tank just got nerfed so the tank that was then stupid op got a literal only 50 hp nerf on a an ability while the main problem is she is 55% ******* ARMOR and has 2 abilities that basically say "nah"

  • spikedvy99 dante vin (@spikedvy99) reported

    @ItsSomjuu Let’s just nerf every Overwatch character into the ground cause anytime they are usable for even a week it’s a problem lmao so dumb

  • rihodd riad 🇲🇽🇱🇧 (@rihodd) reported

    overwatch needs to fix their ranking system , it’s absolutely horrible lmaooo

  • bankruptdokyeom bi ✧ (@bankruptdokyeom) reported

    I have this problem when I like.. run out of mental capacity for all of my hobbies and stuff and I think right now my brain is 1. Overwatch 2. Genshin 3. DK and I don’t have room for vtubers LMAOAOAOAO but once BSS comeback is over I’ll be back

  • reverse_6k Reverse6k (@reverse_6k) reported

    Unpopular opinion: 5v5 was the final nail in the coffin for Overwatch. This change didn't solve any of the big problems and introduced many more. If anything, it makes the game harder to balance.

  • rGiles_2024 Stratosphere (@rGiles_2024) reported

    @PelegrinMain Nothing. People think scrapping and making a new title will solve issues. News flash: Blizzard released a project called "Overwatch 2" and guess what it didn't fix?
