Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • StephenWNix Stephen Nix (@StephenWNix) reported

    Got Play of the Game twice in Overwatch on two different characters. Wish I had a team to play with but then again mental problems don't let me play Overwatch for very long. lol Sometimes I go long but not a lot.

  • _Daaleth Daaleth (@_Daaleth) reported

    Overwatch players will literally make up balance problems just to feel something

  • LiveMas502 Courtney (@LiveMas502) reported

    Hate when I play comp and overwatch decides to **** up and have a connection error to the server mid match then have the nerve to suspend me from playing comp like I left???

  • GOETIA_GOTH 𓅓 『𝓞𝓬𝓽𝓪𝓿𝓲𝓪 ☕︎』✧ (@GOETIA_GOTH) reported

    // overwatch post- mei is the most ******* busted hero ever and shouldn't exist. This is coming from somebody who plays mei, not somebody who like ever see's her in a game. That ice wall alone is broken for separating teams on a cooldown.

  • ImPrinceHakeem Prince Hakeem 🏳️‍🌈 (@ImPrinceHakeem) reported

    @Umbratea That is most definitely not an Overwatch problem. That's an everyone involved problem including him lmao having your credibility and ability to be a functioning citizen ruined by someone else's hatred is not a small issue

  • ZombieBaka Baka (@ZombieBaka) reported

    @ShingenOni That's because bad people think they are good. It's just like playing Overwatch and people saying their teammates are the problem. Or people complain about hax in Pokémon. Its why I turn of ingame chat. Because I am smarter and always know what is right and they are all dumb haha

  • iDoM1n4ToRx - (@iDoM1n4ToRx) reported

    @TheGhostOfHope Map voting won’t be a problem if the rotation is like Overwatch, if you play kings row for ex you won’t play it for like 6-7 games at least, also shg can add these things easily tbh but maybe they have their own vision.

  • CpnStevenRogers 🧛🏻‍♀️Vampire Costume Cap🧛🏻‍♀️ (@CpnStevenRogers) reported

    My problem is I watch @super_OW and I’m like “man I wanna play overwatch” knowing full well that I’d rather snap my legs and then walk with said broken legs than play in my rank 🥲

  • patrick_dril patrick_dril (@patrick_dril) reported

    I got a lot of trouble writing so I'm going to buy some overwatch loot boxes. i will get

  • kienankb kienan (@kienankb) reported

    anyway they're a tiny problem and it could be way worse and I should complain less about them to be honest but maybe if you get them and read this you can be less afraid of them! also don't play overwatch until 2AM. nailed that down as another minor trigger a while back. fyi.

  • superderpyderps Alexandria 🏳️‍⚧️ (@superderpyderps) reported

    @TheActMan_YT My problem is that Valorant is right in front of their faces. I don't play or watch it, but it's frequently at the top and is over a year old and is basically just a CS:GO clone with an overwatch twist (not exactly, but not far off). No BR needed for an old formula

  • Biggie23J Christopher Johnson 👨‍🍳 🖖🏻 🎮 (@Biggie23J) reported

    @BlizzardCS Try to go off subject but can you please fix OverWatch competitive. Sorry

  • akraylien imkickingthebucket (@akraylien) reported

    @Jack__Shade @PlayApex @KarimCheeseg I mean its fine to rewards their creators but at the other hand, they could also just make a PTR like server like in Overwatch etc so the whole community can give feedback on new stuff would prolly fix a lot of things

  • nyxoxic Nyxoxic (@nyxoxic) reported

    @jigglycomet Sadly Overwatch has that problem majorly also. Another problem is group leaders hide their stats and demand their team to have open profiles to play. It's aggravating.

  • rbdriftin Rob B. (@rbdriftin) reported

    I had the same issue with Black Ops 3, 4, Cold War, Overwatch, Far Cry 6... but all those games had advanced settings I could tweak which eliminated the problem. Somehow this 2018 AAA title doesn't.

  • _Daaleth Daaleth (@_Daaleth) reported

    @MoneyFolder_ @CarelessCoach It’s not hard to understand. The problem is that it’s wrong. Looking at the history of Overwatch balance, there is simply no apparent pattern of “damage boost is making this hero hard to balance.”

  • FawnspiritUwU 🎀 Mari 🎀 (@FawnspiritUwU) reported

    Literally all Overwatch would have to do to get me back would be to have daily login bonuses Even if it were just like 6 days of 50-200 credits and then a lootbox that’d be real neat

  • MaddieIRL 💜~ Maddie ~ 💜 ⚢ (@MaddieIRL) reported

    @osddeez yea you definitely did lmao. I don’t even try to play it that competitively but it’s still annoying to even try and deal with. Having characters that can 1 shot half the roster through broken **** is not enjoyable at all 😭. Idk what happened I used to love overwatch

  • SumReal2 SumReal (@SumReal2) reported

    @WarnTV I mean you saw what the main audience looks like during the overwatch league it doesn’t surprise me most of these kids don’t care about serious issues

  • quedoidera61 Random dood (@quedoidera61) reported

    @ScottJund Making good stuff **** will just push away players. League of legends season 3 was peak, because most of it was broken. Overwatch release. " Dbd is not a competitive game, devs should aim for fun " but content creators are always shitting on perks because is unfun to one side

  • Naito_Shade Naito-kun (@Naito_Shade) reported

    I was DDOS on #overwatch because our team was winning and I was destroying on Hanzo. I was unaware you did not fix that yet @Blizzard_Ent . Give people more reason to not play. Great idea. #Blizzard And I know it was DDOS because none of my other internet devices were affected.

  • MrMooseVA 𝕄𝕠𝕠𝕤𝕖𝕄𝕒𝕟🎙 (@MrMooseVA) reported

    @dps_declan @birdtf_ Overwatch is just quite an unpredictable thing, even the smartest coaches and players constantly make errors in hindsight

  • lorentzlozenge Anaphylactic Spock (@lorentzlozenge) reported

    Facebook: We're McCree now. No more problems. Overwatch fans:

  • GoonboyJosh Sp🎃🎃kyB🎃yJ🎃sh👻🔪 (@GoonboyJosh) reported

    @GT_SmilElijah Well… it was fine before. Wasn’t amazing but I could stream and never frame drop. But when I swap the motherboard I’ve noticed problems whenever I try to stream or play valor and, overwatch or sfv. Just drops everywhere

  • Naito_Shade Naito-kun (@Naito_Shade) reported

    @BoyoneOwen @Blizzard_Ent Numbani. Either someone DDOSd me specifically or Overwatch severs were having issues. Either way I got freaking suspended for it which is complete BS.

  • PAPITOELBELLO1 PAPITOELBELLO (@PAPITOELBELLO1) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN WHEN PRETEND TO FIX THE MATCHMAKING IN OVERWATCH??! IN THE SECOND GAME???? 😡

  • raptros_ aidan l. coyne✝️🇻🇦🏡🔕☀️ (@raptros_) reported

    @geraldbullvevo yeah, pvp is one important part, and the other is allowing players to avoid other players (instancing, separate servers, etc) (note how modern FPSes like overwatch have had all those "toxic community" problems: all bc they don't allow server separation)

  • RayanMADAO ريان (@RayanMADAO) reported

    They need to rework orisa for overwatch 2, she's so boring to play. Her problem is how her shield works, like sigma is fun cause his shield is engaging to use but orisa its just a long cooldown and in one spot infront of you. Rein is fun cause his shield requires active timing

  • daiocat daiocat (@daiocat) reported

    @keezdawg @tripleWRECK How many apex or overwatch streams do carries? Oh wait none people watch the streamer for them and their play. So try again maybe service streams should be more than people with the wit of a brick

  • PlaysCurley Curley (@PlaysCurley) reported

    @MoneyFolder_ Imagine a world of Overwatch where Zen isn’t completely broken and ruins the game for tanks
