Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • M4dBadM4n MadBadMan (@M4dBadM4n) reported

    @HateBeingBJ @overwatch doubt it, nor care too much, getting main banned would be a problem though

  • bane63gaming Forrest Hutchinson (@bane63gaming) reported

    @cubsaucee Overwatch has always had characters like this. The issue isn't them doing it, it's why and how they do it. They have a literal chart that shows them how "Diverse" they need to make their Characters. It's gross and I hate it

  • Arx_UK Arx 💤 (MoiraTech!) (@Arx_UK) reported

    Ana's nade is still the most broken ability in the game and the biggest fight decider in Overwatch. Anti obviously, but even the heal buff, while great when used to grant a spike of healing to her team, is so BS when used on herself or herself and 2nd support.

  • lavateam103 LAVATEAM103 (@lavateam103) reported

    Is Ramattra's cute and pixel spray achievements broken or something cause I did exactly what they said and I still don't have the sprays #overwatch #achievement

  • DeltaFireexx ★ D 三 L T Δ // M Δ D Z ★ (@DeltaFireexx) reported

    @Zekie_8 nonono, WE'RE the ones with the issues! The manchild doesn't like the fact overwatch is "woke" i.e accepting of its fanbase.

  • dawn_berlitz21 Nathaniel Greene (@dawn_berlitz21) reported

    @BlizzardCS if i bought a blizzard balance card could i use that to get coins on Overwatch...i dont yet fully know what wil happen with mt debit card and paypal as i ran into a scam/fraud problem recently

  • noiwiVT ˙⊹꒰Noiwi꒱🫧⊹ (@noiwiVT) reported

    I think Overwatch 2 has some of the worst players in existence LMFAO I can't tell if it's because the matchmaking is still broken or if it's normal for diamond players to be THIS BAD

    @DoWhatYouDo6 Live Service Game like Destiny, COD, Diablo 4, Overwatch, ESO,Fallout76 won't be exclusive. COD was never going to be on Gamepass that another reason they bought it

  • VizzBlizz Vizz (@VizzBlizz) reported

    You guys thought they'd FIX Mercy? HAH! PLEASE. The Overwatch devs have been liars and haven't listened for how long? They'll never listen to our opinion on Mercy. Maybe if we stop picking her they "might".

  • RochelleyBaby Rochelle🏳️‍🌈🎮 (@RochelleyBaby) reported

    @Xbox hey could you fix an issue? When trying to stream overwatch, we can’t hear the teammates voices in game on the stream. If they’re in an Xbox party and accept their voice being used, we can hear, but not everyone I play with is on Xbox so I can’t do that

  • surrefttweets Surreft (@surrefttweets) reported

    Obviously, Overwatch has more creative license as a 3D FPS, but it feels LoL has really dropped the ball in making interesting characters with clear strengths and weaknesses. Instead, the approach has been to add as many steroids, dashes, and broken abilities as possible;

  • Kalyx_triaD Jean Kalyx (@Kalyx_triaD) reported

    How #Overwatch could add another MEKA hero in a non-tank role without issues about the unavoidable tank-size presence: - Have hero start in zero-suit, "baby" form and call MEKA as an ult (inverse of Dva). - Make Dmon as another tank. - That's it really.

  • Captanki_3 Captanki1i2i3i4i5i6i7iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii (@Captanki_3) reported

    @CrimsonsEmbers @PlayStation Tbf even with overwatch 1 they usually release significantly more skins that heroes. Also a hero is a huge deal, releasing multiple at a time will be overwhelming if they have meta shaking kits and may cause balance issues.

  • b3rt__ow B3rt (@b3rt__ow) reported

    @Matty_OW @M4dBadM4n @overwatch actually true. I made a freshie to prove a point. I played 4 days straight projectile only, no problem. Queue hitscan for a LITERAL HOUR and get banned. It's straight up a disgusting and flaud system

  • NexttoNothing8 Next to Nothing (@NexttoNothing8) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @ATVI_AB @overwatch when are we getting pve mode or are you all going to skimp out on it it was promised! and some of us only stood around for that cause you can't even fix your freaking ranking system..

  • Cruxinoli Kir 🍃 (@Cruxinoli) reported

    The problem with League and the problem I fear Overwatch might get into is just.. the overload of characters. Like there is just so many champions in League that it dulls out the gameplay, some champions are ultimately useless too so why even add them y'know?

  • ohlaike laike 🦉 (@ohlaike) reported

    trying desperately to stay awake today to fix my sleep schedule so I’m gonna dive into overwatch lore with 0 experience see y’all later 😭

  • KatSohma Kat Sohma 💙 Vtuber (@KatSohma) reported

    I attempted to place in competitive Overwatch 2 today, but the problem I have with gaming is that I'm not competitive at all LOL

  • mrsmile8927 Mr_Smile (@mrsmile8927) reported

    The new OverWatch 2 season 4 patch is actually quite good but at the same time not, they didn't have to nerf Rein or Sigma (Well maybe they did have to nerf him a bit but that's besides the point.). And the Ashe "bug fix" isn't even a bug fix at all.

  • Flamerounds 🔥 (@Flamerounds) reported

    @OhReallyJared it’s almost season 4 of Overwatch 2, the games been out for 6 months and my career profile is still broken (PS5) I’ve played over 2k hours of OW but it says 300 and doesn’t track new data…..

  • Outfled1 Outfled (@Outfled1) reported

    @OhReallyJared @thejodiegrace bro please fix the genji post-dash animation bug. its been in the game since overwatch 1

  • kyutoryuus ✧˖° (@kyutoryuus) reported

    my ovw stats (overall playtime/ character individual stats) have been broken since overwatch 2 came out and that says it all rlly

  • FloofOver ****** (@FloofOver) reported

    @BreakerX42 @voretecks Because using the full High poly models in Overwatch gameplay would cause problems.

  • velguards DEHUMANIZE YOURSELF AND FACE TO BLOODSHED (@velguards) reported

    @megamanfour_ no problems there for me, it obviously doesn't have the budget or playerbase count that overwatch has but I like that the game leans a little more toward an objective-based tactical fps theme rather than a hero-focused ability spam experience

  • superdupercud Donatella VERSACE💜 (@superdupercud) reported

    @AJTonyLoaf To be fair, Overwatch doesn’t love anyone LOL. But you’re right, and it’s a fundamental flaw within Blizzard that they literally have no ******* clue how to maintain a live service game long-term. Overwatch is one of the biggest wasted potentials in the last decade

  • confusionkys confusion (@confusionkys) reported

    @TheRealSimple2 overwatch just doesn’t tell u how to improve, which is a different issue than not explaining key game elements

  • _Skiam_ Skiam (@_Skiam_) reported

    @lvl99ron @FXBl4ckout @GearboxOfficial Idk man. I liked battleborn aswell but it had a lot of issues and overwatch was not the definitive reason it failed. A lack of marketing, content and balancing carried it into an early grave.

  • kingbinaca True King of Mandem (@kingbinaca) reported

    I need a crash course on how Overwatch comp works cuz I’m in hell on Support, but I read though, if I rank up in DPS or Tank, I’ll get easier games on Support..?? That can’t be real can it?

  • h0neygogo go-go☆ sunoo’s gf is 15 days binge free! (@h0neygogo) reported

    a guy that followed me back in my early teens (i was super into overwatch and that’s all we talked abt he’s not a creep) is doing his mandatory army service and i kinda wanna say like good luck or something but idk if that’s weird bc we don’t really talk to each other
