Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MrTea0000 Mr. Tea (@MrTea0000) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Sorry, forgot to mention it's Diablo 2 Resurrected the issue is with, not Overwatch.

  • riggler2 Jamie Twilley (@riggler2) reported

    @BlizzardCS Your Overwatch servers seem to be having an issue. Lots of leavers, DCs, and the server even kicked me for somethiing about time. Need to tell tech team.

  • no_funeral No Funeral (@no_funeral) reported

    The thing I don't get with Overwatch, is that they fix a single problem with 2 solutions, which creates a new problem. Example: 1 tank and more open maps to fix the slow grind against tanks. Either change would fix this, but BOTH gives dps such an insane advantage. New problem.

  • Sylvester_Sato 🟢🖤Sylvester Sato 🟢🖤 (@Sylvester_Sato) reported

    Okay so Overwatch was giving us some issues, we will be switching games

  • Bloops_ Bloop in the dead of night (@Bloops_) reported

    @traintwt @IGN I would've loved to see Crash! Obviously for the better he's not in given his parent company's reputation but I haven nothing against Crash as a character or series. Overwatch on the other hand I just really dislike period lol.

  • ArtEmUp_Eric Art'em Up Eric (@ArtEmUp_Eric) reported

    Final Smash Bros character reveal tomorrow. Wonder who. I’m going to guess either Crash Bandicoot, a Mortal Kombat character, or Tracer from Overwatch.

  • ladymarl3n3 ladymarl3n3 (@ladymarl3n3) reported

    Is there anybody else that struggles loggin in to Overwatch or is it just me?? After the update I havent been able to play… unexpected server error occurred!!!! @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent

  • KazuhaChaos Cyrus (@KazuhaChaos) reported

    @sayuumain That literally would solve half my problems with playing FPS games like overwatch and valo, they make me too angy

  • goddessZel1 goddess Zel (@goddessZel1) reported

    Overwatch needs to fix there bugs I got falsely banned from competitive. there inactive thing is broken am moving and its telling me am inactive and I'll be remove from the match. They need to fix this bug! and am I the only one getting this bug?

  • bulkaiser Mc_royal_bacon 🎗️ (@bulkaiser) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent Can you fix Overwatch Reinhardt charge bugs please? It's frustrating people since 2017 mentioning that bug and it keeps going on and on....

  • SoraAiKin Sora (@SoraAiKin) reported

    it shouldn't be that hard, I have tats, a severe alcohol problem, and was Overwatch GM

  • 1LeonThe TheOneLeon (@1LeonThe) reported

    @TwitchURBN @GabSmolders While I get your point, that's unfortunately part of the problem and what allows such violence and mistreatment to perpetuate. Overwatch is Blizzard, and as much as we'd love to divorce the art from the artist, it's just not possible in the sphere of interactive media

  • Hastyle14 Hastyle1 (@Hastyle14) reported

    @Vex_TTD Don't worry. It will all be worth it when overwatch 2 disappoints you within a month in and you realize, they don't know how to fix the game

  • Lunasenpai22 Lilliana (@Lunasenpai22) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent i’ve been banned for 2 to 3 seasons now in competitive play and it’s for a disconnect error/tech issue on your side and I can’t figure out why your team hasn’t figured out why and one minute isn’t enough for me to join back in the match #Overwatch

  • poldisger ian is 🎃very spoopy and tired🎃 (@poldisger) reported

    can't believe that in December it's gonna be a year since i play Overwatch and i haven't done a single fanart... gotta fix that soon!

  • WreckRob WreckItRob (@WreckRob) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent I really hope that out of everything, the matchmaking and ranking system is changed for Overwatch 2. In this weekend I’ve lost 330 sr to smurfs on the other team and throwing teammates. Please fix that if nothing else.

  • eclinvo_ blip blop (@eclinvo_) reported

    @potathor_tv @SamitoFPS Overwatch is a bad game, so far I only think Overwatch 2 will be a little better but changing abilities isn't going to do much, most of the problem stems from the game requiring no or too much skill, like playing trying to play Torbjörn or Genji, respectively.

  • imgnry_arnd i am not ******* okay (@imgnry_arnd) reported

    like im not really mad the way i wouldve been for crash or an overwatch character

  • pelican_food pelican food | Cryptocurrency Hate Account™️ (@pelican_food) reported

    @mrfeelswildride It would be really funny if Nintendo/Sakurai did consider a character owned by Activison Blizzard, be it Crash, Spyro, an Overwatch rep, or someone else and then promptly took them out of consideration after the Blitzchung mess

  • triplemacaroni cheeseburger deluxe (@triplemacaroni) reported

    @Splitgate I understand making a fully optimized Xbox Series version of the game but at least add 120 FPS support to the Xbox One version! Just like Modern Warfare or Overwatch did it long ago. Also is it just me or the input lag got worse with 5.1?

  • MostlyBlissful Michael DeLopa (@MostlyBlissful) reported

    @TheAceOfSkulls @hauntedchasm @valarynn >it was decided that part of the 'magic' of Overwatch was keeping certain canon less defined. Ah, I see they went with the modern-WoW style of writing where everything is ******* vague and left to the reader to fill in the blanks. There's your ******* problem.

  • TornadoWiz TornadoWiz (@TornadoWiz) reported

    @_owlwitch @WolvGirl15 Well tbf I heard the overwatch team didnt have any problems and wasnt part of the allegations

  • AliyaZin Aliya Zin (@AliyaZin) reported

    Everyone else : *freaking out about Facebook/IG/Whatsapp outage* Meanwhile Me : *screaming all by lonesome in the room because mouse hand was cramping after that match in Overwatch took longer than it was supposed to* I didn’t even know there was an outage y’all.

  • megthefury ✨ Audacity ✨ (@megthefury) reported

    @overwatch glitch where you get booted for inactivity even though you're playing!?!

  • chillheathen Chilly ~ Happy Chilloween! 🙀🎃💀 (@chillheathen) reported

    Blizzard is being dragged through the fire because of the way they treat their staff and their fans. Their employees aren't treated well at all, and harassment is a big problem, especially now. Also, it seems like they're going out of their way to piss Overwatch fans off. /2

  • MariMaiberg 📿 (@MariMaiberg) reported

    I was beaten up myself as a child and now I go for others but at least she suffers no physical pain - if I want to work for the US - CIA most likely- I should join the secret service and not bother the monastery with my fishing for complements how well I overwatch our new born

  • Banerjee_NANU Abhinav Banerjee (@Banerjee_NANU) reported

    Hey, @ComposerPhantom, I just watched your latest Overwatch gameplay video and very much enjoyed it. Although you were playing on a crappy PC with low a frame rate and plenty of input lag, your endearing personality, relatable gameplay and winsome chatter kept me entertained.

  • Vingu1K Elsa The Cartoonist ✨ (@Vingu1K) reported

    Final Smash character predictions if I'm wrong I'm deleting my twitter: Doomguy Crash Bandicoot Master Chief Jonesy Sora Tails Dr. Eggman Warframe Phoenix Wright Overwatch rep Freddy Fazbear (sorry) Not ******* Goku Rayman Mortal Kombat Rep Amaterasu Spyro Skylanders rep SMT rep

  • AMcCarthy83 Andrew McCarthy (@AMcCarthy83) reported

    @MitchyD I was the first option but as I’ve gotten older with a family, time is an issue and to avoid FOMO, I’ve transitioned to the 2nd. Overwatch is my ‘forever game’ Issue I now have is i feel weirdly guilty for not finishing a game before trying another one.

    Plus it’s like I’m just existing on my own playing Overwatch and valorant. So no I’m not going to block followers because of your relationship issues. Please handle that yourself. Smh
