Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • CKris46 ChrisKris46 (@CKris46) reported

    @Ekuinokkusu @OWLczz @Apply I think the major issue is the controversies that took place in blizzard causing alot of the delays especially the Activision manager. Not to mention I can't remember too well but i faintly recall a dev saying they were told not to work on overwatch. Due to management.

  • Flomerboy Ryan Mather 🌿✨ (@Flomerboy) reported

    @NyanSox I think this is just because people are used to overwatch 1, it’s like a car you have had for 8 years vs a car you just bought that has a different feeling steering and breaks. Doesn’t make it a bad car. Especially when the old car had major issues.

  • VT5210 VT52 (@VT5210) reported

    Is it a CYBERNETIC AXE with a wooden handle??? Is it WiFi enabled? Will it stop being sharp if you don't update it? They literally went "well it's the future so it's gotta have a glowing light on it" this stupid axe symbolizes every problem I have with Overwatch's visual design.

  • Proto_VI Proto VI (@Proto_VI) reported

    @BioClay88 @PlayOverwatch I mean I haven't really seen anything from the Overwatch Team where they haven't really broken their promise on stuff.

  • Vomit_Dragon Forklift Operator (@Vomit_Dragon) reported

    animation of Tracer from Overwatch getting pounded by a massive **** on the tl. Just one problem: she's *******

  • moodotsuki 💮 thighs lizard 🔪 (@moodotsuki) reported

    Overwatch's training range is so *** bro it ****** sucks !!!!!!!! fix this **** in the sequel to your bad game . I demand it

  • scouttrooperman sturmtruppenman waiting for 24th of may (@scouttrooperman) reported

    @waefrebeorn and than you guys wonder why people like me say you guys are no better than the overwatch fandom. you literally think harassment is the only way they'll acknowledge a problem and than calls me soft because i'm siding with the dude who saw this first hand. stop

  • KNG_Aster KNG_Aster🌱 (@KNG_Aster) reported

    @Moss12Riley @OWAnonymous_ Why call only poki out so many other streamer got keys n there’s not part of the Overwatch community but no one seems to have a problem with them

  • _Maxx_Effect_ Max (@_Maxx_Effect_) reported

    @BlizzardCS Im trying to buy 200 Overwatch League Points and for some reason I keep getting error with only that option.... Thought you should know.

  • AsinfulParadox Paradox🎒😭💢 (@AsinfulParadox) reported

    Welp. Overwatch 2 was a good game for a while. Now nothing dies and supports are broken as ****. GG go next

  • bandicootpage CRASH BANDICOOT CLUBHOUSE (@bandicootpage) reported

    @MiKAuditore Nope dude this literally said Call of Duty, Overwatch and other popular based IPS if you actually bothered reading the whole blog. If you think they would make Crash and Spyro exclusive to Xbox and cause them to lose much growth then you`re out of your mind lmao

  • DEATH_SLAYER66 ATOI DeAtH SlaYeR/Forspoken (@DEATH_SLAYER66) reported

    Overwatch is literally ******* broken. How that games tells that i gotta delete over 28GB of space but the update was about 330MB

  • cassidyluvr 🪷hanamura's finest🪷 (@cassidyluvr) reported

    @RReapermain absolutely no problem!! sick of people being allowed to exist in the overwatch community while making **** like this

  • FatalDesiire 13 (@FatalDesiire) reported

    @zzzelika I developed mental issues bc of overwatch !!

  • steevelamer steve but with a ph (@steevelamer) reported

    @sssofakii @Zapiii_og Overwatch only game where you can see people literally admit to throwing and people don’t see a problem with it. GG you threw a tanked game. But don’t worry there’s silvers there. Congrats!

  • KleenAustin KDA (@KleenAustin) reported

    I’m watching these OWL games and Sombra in OW2 is so ******* broken. Idk why every team is not playing her #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • fortnite_onion .50 cal (@fortnite_onion) reported

    @pinkertons that was probably my biggest issue with overwatch map design was how so many places only had one entrance you were forced to push through it felt rly dumb especially with all the splash stun slow aoe cc stuff in the game

  • HeyyItsEmber Ember ♡ // (@HeyyItsEmber) reported

    Please i cant believe they took Overwatch 2 from us, im broken

  • IndigoBlooper Indigoblooper (@IndigoBlooper) reported

    Was watching lazypurples "how it feels to play" video series again last night before i went to be and that coupled with stuff ive heard lately about overwatch/ow2 has me like Really wishing TF2 didnt have the whole issue of the community youd have to deal with in pubs

  • IFOnlyYT IFOnly COMMS OPEN 0/5 (@IFOnlyYT) reported

    God I want to make overwatch friends so bad man. I love that game so much, and I just want to be able to have other fans that I can play with. Obviously I'd need to be able to vibe with them, but the problem is all my friends hate the game...

  • froonding_loom Reggie Toupée (@froonding_loom) reported

    The Diversity Space Tool is not the solution, but acting like Overwatch doesn't have a problem is laughable.

  • bruhgby_ chris (@bruhgby_) reported

    @MovesXD You see, the problem is, we just lost our most valuable teammate in overwatch because he broke his disc in half.

  • Conqy bitcoin wallet inspector (@Conqy) reported

    @yourverygoodbud I've long said the problem with overwatch is that it's not CS:GO

  • GTBato_ Jose (@GTBato_) reported

    @brandyheather This isn’t just a valorant issue I remember the same issue in other hero based games especially overwatch. Lots of pocket healers with no game sense and flexible hero picks that only play with their duo to get carried but without them can’t hang in the rank they got boosted to

  • AndarielOW andariel ☆ (@AndarielOW) reported

    @niyoray @HoshizoraOW see the difference is that in overwatch 2 genji is broken and mercy is ****

  • cowboyparable 𝔩𝔞 𝔳𝔢𝔯𝔤𝔞𝔱𝔦𝔬𝔫 (@cowboyparable) reported

    remember when there was that big row abt how blizzard had handled the taiwan issue during the overwatch league? they disparage china in all these pernicious ways

  • SpeedilyEnjoyer AverageSpeedilyEnjoyer (@SpeedilyEnjoyer) reported

    @slodr4wzstuff No problem! I will genuinely try and explain overwatch at some point

  • WildBoyFriend Best Boyfriend (@WildBoyFriend) reported

    look at overwatch. until I stepped in roaming f4g gangs (sometimes made up of their own "viewers" even) would harass every twitch streamer female. Aim bot against them, verbally abuse them in vc, and bliz staff would either join in or ignore the problem.

  • ManoelNeto499 Manoel (@ManoelNeto499) reported

    @DemonicGull @dray_979 Cite algo que preste da Activision tirando Crash, Cod e overwatch

  • tinykyrios trashcan necromancer 🎃 (@tinykyrios) reported

    i can’t aim my way out of a paper bag but there used to be multiple overwatch characters that i could still play and have fun, but even before i stopped playing ow bc of actiblizz’s problems, i couldn’t play many of my initial favorites anymore bc they’d been so… gamer-rotted
