Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • bmddiscoboy Philip Watson (@bmddiscoboy) reported

    @chicagocubchub @Dexterbear97 Which is the problem with overwatch though. If the characters weren't in the battle pass it might be better but they put them in there. Overwatch 1 any added character was free since it would not be balanced otherwise. It would be pay to win then which is what's happening now.

  • ladyddancing lady d’s lawyer (lucy) (@ladyddancing) reported

    my career profile on overwatch has changed AGAIN??? 😭😭😭 please fix it blizzard i’m begging you

  • 5ilent_Requiem Garrett (@5ilent_Requiem) reported

    So once again, @BlizzardCS, my Widowmaker Noire skin is locked in Overwatch. It was unlocked and I used it in a few games just the other day, I was elated when the patch went through. What happened? Any eta on a fix?

  • rishnu11 rishnu1 (@rishnu11) reported

    @Xvault2 Tbh, i dont see the issue with rentals, i dont own gamepass bc i mostly play halo and overwatch, gaming is an expensive hobby and if I can pay 15 a month to play games i would only play once i dont see the issue, if its a game you want to replay buy it, gp also discounts games

  • ReapersGrim777 GrimReaper777 (@ReapersGrim777) reported

    @OverwatchCaval I guess you don't know how to fix the issues us psn gamers are still having. It's no wonder why @OW_Jeffkaplan left Blizzard. Ever since then, you've started killing Overwatch. Congrats, you're now a money hungry company. Just like Epic.

  • StelloraArt Stellora (@StelloraArt) reported

    @BlizzardCS could you tell me if the issue of Noire Widowmaker skin not appearing on the Xbox Version of Overwatch 2 after the supposed fix is getting resolved soon?

  • iLouminati34 IlouminatiTTV (@iLouminati34) reported

    Things you find out on Overwatch 2: I'm not Basic, I'm just Broken

  • bedaxxle XX (@bedaxxle) reported

    they need to bring overwatch league and contenders back to twitch because i swear the youtube drop system is just broken. I want my collegiate spray

  • SakataLex No Waifu No Laifu (@SakataLex) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Overwatch ranked is THE worst ******* ranked system ever. It is absolute grange and makes no sense. Fix your ****

  • F1l_ters Filter (@F1l_ters) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ its less of a hitscan problem and more of a one shot problem, one shots dont belong in overwatch unless theyre incredibly hard to pull off or make you have to put yourself in danger to do so, gut hanzo widow sojourn and maybe hog and the game gets good

  • imcuteonline alida (@imcuteonline) reported

    i was in an overwatch comp game and the server closed due to an error, does this count as a loss??

  • highmasterbates high master bates (@highmasterbates) reported

    overwatch shop is the biggest mess/scam i’ve ever seen. blizzard keeps on making a business model that is not working and pushing people to buy from their stores

  • FlawSocial SocialDesignFlaw (@FlawSocial) reported

    Overwatch 2 : Mobility It kinda sounds like Ramattra might be underwhelming from all the test plays by streamers, which kinda supports the initial problem with OW2. Design is too dependent on Mobility.

  • AnthrpicScholar anthropicTitsEnvyScholar🏳️‍⚧️ (@AnthrpicScholar) reported

    The ATST is based on the GAR's scout walker, itself an open-cockpit bipedal mech, a sort of mobile overwatch tower. the obvious disadvantage: Open cockpit=easy target, has been corrected, ignoring the obvious problem: It's a Watchtower on legs.

    @Blizzard_Ent FIX OVERWATCH YOU ******* REATRDS. SWITCH THE COMP RANK SYSTEM BACK TO THE WAY IT WORKED IN OW1... NOBODY, NOT A SINGLE PERSON LIKES THE NEW SYSTEM. ITS A ******* MEME

  • MrsDarkling92 Nubian Medusa 🦂🐍💫 (@MrsDarkling92) reported from Columbus, Georgia

    I feel like between apex and overwatch if they were to focus and just balance out all their characters instead of listening towards popular opinions or critics and fixing the bugs and hacks they wouldn’t have such big issues.

  • asheoi ash ✧ semi ia (@asheoi) reported

    The longer I play Overwatch 2 the more I lag ?? It starts off great and then ends up unplayable

  • notleavinglv Notleavinglasvegas (@notleavinglv) reported

    @therealtimjoad I am a Christian, want to debate me? I feel the REAL ID act is an over extension of government overwatch, completely unnecessary, yes it does harm groups of people to might struggle to get these documents. But from the sounds of it, you have a personal problem with Christians.

  • ZaneTouchGrass Zane (@ZaneTouchGrass) reported

    @Ghostyb40451588 @geoffkeene its not like pros can't adapt lol. when you play competitively and there's a hard meta, its the only thing you're able to do. if its boring as ****, you're not gonna be happy. thats why pros hated overwatch goats you really said "skill issue" to pros like no its a "fun" issue

  • WeaselTheMega Speedy The Fastest Present Deliverer (@WeaselTheMega) reported

    @CrispyFrise Activision nowadays owns the rights to spyro and crash is now in the hands of Toys For Bob. What ******** is overwatch doing here? That's a Blizzard game!

  • Lme63874167 Idk (@Lme63874167) reported

    @StrawHatHiki @GetQuakedOn The overwatch balancing team is horrendous. They don't know how to middle ground. They either make a character absolute garbage or absolute broken. No in-between

  • VaashTV Vaash (@VaashTV) reported

    @gvfx_new I don’t think cheats in other games are as much of an issue. Games are still winnable e.g there’s 5 overwatch players per team. D2 cheats are so strong that u just have to leave and loose ur rank i guess

  • LunalightZane Zane “Mecha lord” Winters (@LunalightZane) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ It’s OK if you don’t like the character like that is completely fine that’s ******* valid but don’t hate the players who play him you’re just asking for a world of trouble there like seriously you’re just proving my point that the overwatch community is not a good community

  • drugst0rec0wgrl mila ♡ (@drugst0rec0wgrl) reported

    idk why my overwatch is lagging hella bad these last two days :( i’m annoyed

  • KnightytMesa Mesa The Puritan (@KnightytMesa) reported

    Hoping they fix the PlayStation bug for overwatch. Would love to play with my ps friends.

  • ackorrn Ackorrn (@ackorrn) reported

    @Mr_knoxvegas @PlayOverwatch The issue was always whiny people who never played overwatch complaining about “child gambling”

  • JustMuffler Muffler (@JustMuffler) reported

    @Crackinlmao @aaronkellerOW you pay 20$ for a legendary on Apex, Fortnite, ect and you pay 20$ for a skin on overwatch. The problem is the accessibility of premium currency

  • ayyBailey 🎄🎄Jingle Bails 👾☄️ (@ayyBailey) reported

    This ****** “sensitive content” issue happening on Twitter rn is making me realise how much stupid **** isn’t actually sensitive content LMFAO I’m seeing horror game speed runners, Overwatch, my friends replies, etc All of them blocked as “sensitive content”

  • HandsomeJesus Common name (@HandsomeJesus) reported

    I made the dumbest mistake buying that 10 dollar season pass in overwatch, felt compelled to play it the last month which will only end in misery. Legit the worst part of my day every time I run it. Broken matches, badly balanced and shitters/cheaters every game. Done for good
