Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • EthanTreece2 Ethan Treece (@EthanTreece2) reported

    @ODST_B_RICH92 @SlimHaleyLP the customization horizontal menus will get very frustrating to navigate as we get more armor pieces and coatings. This was a massive problem in Halo 5 and it seems they didn't learn. Games like Apex, Fortnite, Overwatch, etc use vertical menus for a reason

  • RZ_YTofficial RZ-YT (@RZ_YTofficial) reported

    I was considering buying The Crash Bandicoot games and Overwatch on my Switch but the whole #ActivisionBlizzard thing happen and now I will not be supporting them for the foreseeable future. I will take Tracer out of my Smash Wishlist. I only blame the company

  • f0llowroman Roman (@f0llowroman) reported

    @artemiis19 I didn’t play Overwatch, not because of the situation rn, because the game is boring and broken

  • cheeso_art Cheeso Art! チーソ🔞🔞🔞 (Peenus) (@cheeso_art) reported

    Who's the new gay chara ter in Overwatch now with all this Blizzard Activision problem?

  • Nottodayeddboy Squat Rack (@Nottodayeddboy) reported

    @Ask_Spectrum Yo idiots, fix your internet it goes in and out every hour. I got season banned on Overwatch, ya'll about to get slapped up.

  • Cageplaysgames Goblin Cage (@Cageplaysgames) reported

    @DrunkardDragon As a member of an OverWatch esports team and someone who generally hates lag I second this

  • allen_jadam Jadam A Allen (@allen_jadam) reported

    speaking of overwatch, a gardevoir came out yesterday and i noticed the same recurring problem where someone would instalock them and id get one or two teammates just refuse to play the game from thag point. didnt happen too much, but it cost me a good couple games.

  • scenik8 the wait will end in 15 days (@scenik8) reported

    Idk maybe this take is controversial, I understand not playing an online game like Overwatch during the strike, but what does not playing Spyro or Crash Bandicoot do. Are there MMOs of those I'm not aware of

  • prior_rafa Rafa Prior (@prior_rafa) reported

    @ChristalRaine The problem is not overwatch or its team, and they speak of a minority, not the majority of workers who strive every day to develop the game, the solution would be to wait and see what happens in the next few months.

  • nii_kyuu 🍓kyuu (@nii_kyuu) reported

    @SparklyBon @Ginseng___ The point is to stop giving these trash companies money. On top of the mountain of legal aligations - Activision keeps shitting out bad yearly installments & you can emulate tony hawk, spyro & crash on a potato pc - Blizzards baning pro Hong Kong, and overwatch & WoW being ***

  • infinity_tran Thomas Tran (@infinity_tran) reported

    @AlysSinclaire @DynamoSuperX No Activision Blizzard means no Crash or Spyro in Smash, no more OverWatch League tournaments

  • WildCuddler WildCuddler 😈 (@WildCuddler) reported

    @vinpupuk @MusclePupMax I’m sorry someone called you disgusting for the tweet. I wish Blizzard Activision would make genuine efforts to fix things. I already lost Bon Appétit because of similar behavior, and while I don’t play WoW, I did play Overwatch near daily for a while.

  • ZoeyTinks ZoeyTinks 🇦🇺 (@ZoeyTinks) reported

    No regs are the worst thing about Overwatch change my mind. There pretty much the only FPS I played where they're this much of a problem. Yes I am salty about loosing a game to a No reg pulse bomb stick.........

  • Dash_O_Frosties Dash-O-frost💖💛💙 (@Dash_O_Frosties) reported

    @DedSecOfficial3 No clue yet. Don’t believe there’s been any stories out of the overwatch team yet other than workers reassuring people they feel safer in the OW team. Obviously if there is issues I hope people come forward but I’d like to hope the overwatch team is at least safer.

  • Nickmanaki Nickmanaki (@Nickmanaki) reported

    Respawn must be one of the most incapable companies out there, they are worse at balancing characters than overwatch devs and cant fix basic servers / cheater problems for months now

  • TempzZero absolute zero tempz (@TempzZero) reported

    @JakeEddyCarp welp i've dropped overwatch for over a year now so it shouldnt be a problem lol

  • SecEd_Loser Meta Knight says Black Lives Matter (@SecEd_Loser) reported

    @SYACVG The problem is people are still playing Overwatch

  • hcorbliss Avid Indoorsman (@hcorbliss) reported

    @PlayOverwatch hey you guys don’t fix this horrendous matchmaking don’t expect anyone to buy overwatch 2. Jesus Christ why am I level 400 and getting teams under level 50? Every game.

  • JoonaKrkkinen1 Joona14 (@JoonaKrkkinen1) reported

    @Hyperbabel That wasn't an issue for me, because 1. I'm no longer that active in Overwatch and 2. I already planned to play Apex yesterday instead.

  • Mr_Mystiic Mystic ⚓ ✩ミスティック✩ (@Mr_Mystiic) reported

    its sad how I've just accepted Overwatch voice chat to be broken now after over a year

  • 3yXQgX5qN3YuAe7 윤성빈 (@3yXQgX5qN3YuAe7) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Blizzard, I deleted and downloaded Overwatch because it didn't start since it was updated, but BattleNet was updated and stopped. So I can't play my favorite Overwatch anymore. How can I fix this?

  • JonTheMaster1 Fortune500 (@JonTheMaster1) reported

    Id sooner gargle my own piss than play league of legends rn. The game is such a broken mess of dog **** that it feels like im playing season 5 of overwatch. Nothing is even remotely fun to play against in that game rn. **** league

  • Tromnic102 Tromnic (@Tromnic102) reported

    I'm honestly happy that the overwatch team wasn't affected by the thing that is going on with Activision Blizzard however there's a big problem... if this doesn't get solved overwatch won't be a thing anymore because the company will go down. I'm sad that the hard working people-

  • PrimeIceman Iceman Prime (@PrimeIceman) reported

    @shaunonsite When you say Overwatch issues, you mean the lawsuit on Blizzard?

  • Alphafreeze3 Alphafreeze (@Alphafreeze3) reported

    @OnWithMarie Not even overwatch? Or the newer crash games?

  • Wiidemniggas Da Nostalgia Guy (@Wiidemniggas) reported

    @cladranna @QuiloWisp @JakeEddyCarp The devs of the modern crash games have nothing to do with this it's mostly just blizzard so OverWatch and some of the Cod games our one you can avoid if you feel the need to.

  • LeakedOWQuotes Leaked OW Quotes! (@LeakedOWQuotes) reported

    Reinhardt: Overwatch members) Sleep. Feeling powerful! Always tasted like neither have tickets to be time it on a problem.

  • scourge399 Scourge328 (@scourge399) reported

    I WILL NOT FORGIVE ACTIVISION UNLESS THEY MAKE OFFICIAL OVERWATCH PORN AND GIVE ME ALL CRASH GAMES FOR FREE

  • bkrafty89 L.k (@bkrafty89) reported

    remember when Blizzard was a known dumpster fire, released Overwatch and generated possibly more goodwill for itself than any game release ever but was STILL a dumpster fire and it only made problems worse?

  • saraekuhl Sara Kuhl (@saraekuhl) reported

    The number of MEN telling people how they should feel about Jesse McCree's name in Overwatch in light of the lawsuit is part of the problem. #ActiBlizzWalkout
