Anyway. It’s a thorny problem, and is possible to track down, but it’s not going to be easy if the problem isn’t in something directly under Blizzard’s control. I don’t envy the engineers and hope they find the issue soon. (I want to play Overwatch 2 without disconnecting!)

I always thought that apex would be in trouble the moment another fps got their stuff together. Overwatch kind of proved that to be true and it's still missing it's PVE element.

@_Emma___Marie_ (sorry for the bad english)all the problems mentioned in the videos are from before overwatch 2 was announced, they are problems that we have been dragging for 5 years, 5 years in which evil mojo has not wanted to fix the game.

@Havri7 The patch that OVERWATCH LEAGUE IS ALREADY PLAYING ON btw My favorite lie theyve told so far is when they said they’d be quicker with updates to make sure they don’t run into the same issues they did with OW1

I hope the next overwatch patch comes with a bug fix where the endorse players doesnt pop up during a match :) controller issues lmao

The reason people don't like push in Overwatch 2 is bacause they got so used to hiding behind shields that they don't know how to play around natural cover, which is far more important on push maps than on others. Literally a skill issue

@VectorASpecter Honestly it could never be truly Overwatch without an Ice Wall glitch; that has been a developmental bane of existence since the beta

@elonmusk @StephenKing Well, It kinda does solve the problem but temporarely, I can give an example on games like overwatch and cs:go used to have less hacks due to the paywall to get in, but over the years that didnt matter cuz it was rentable to hack and sell high ranked accounts.

(@GMhysterix) reported
Honestly Overwatch could probably fix their monetization system the easiest by adding back player level and giving a loot box with low to no chance of getting coins but a chance to get everything that’s not in a BP with the same setup as OW1.

@ultrarotom ...and then throw in the greed that they are obviously just trying to push it as far as they can to see what people are willing to pay for and i just can't be bothered anymore. overwatch now has similar problems, there is literally no incentive to play and the mm is nonexistent

TL;DR - my wild-*** guess is that there’s an overly aggressive DDoS detector that’s interpreting Overwatch 2 game traffic as a DDoS and blocking it, causing the disconnect. It doesn’t block an entire IP, just a specific connection, forcing a reconnect.

(@dalvenjah) reported
Overwatch 2 traffic is lots of small UDP packets. It makes sense; you want them delivered as quick as possible; you can lose a few without a problem if the rest keep arriving OK; and you don’t need to send huge amounts of info to say “Pharah moved forward 10m and pressed Q”.

Overwatch 2 is a broken game... nobody wants to play support because they are literally disregarded by the game developers and players. Support is unplayable atm but if you flex roles, you will only play support...

I'm not gonna play Overwatch again in November. Genji, Zarya, Sombra, Dva are broken, I'm stuck in silver even if I'm higher rank, I completed the BP. What I suppose to do? Play in qp with people blocking in the spawn with broken heroes? No sir, I'm gonna play FFXIV, AL & BA more

Overwatch comp is wild, got yelled at and told to swap from Brig earlier because "she's not working" when I was out dpsing and out healing the Moira and was literally the only one that could keep people alive on point but yeah guess it was my fault

@OverwatchCaval They should just leave overwatch 1 and just add changes slowly more prepared. Now its a broken mess and bottomless greed

@OWAnonymous_ Holding a single button is not a skill, the issue is they're just insanely ******* stupid and shouldn't exist in a game like Overwatch, period.
