Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • PandoraBeatrix Pandora Beatrix 🎙 Home Studio VA, Villainy on Tap (@PandoraBeatrix) reported

    4. Honestly, it was always Overwatch (1). As often as not I felt bad about myself after playing for a while, but I kept coming back. OW2 is not that - it's past guilt into "we've had past issues, but now you're fully toxic and I'm sorry but I can't have you in my life anymore"

  • Yanazuki1 Mr.Clean 🐍 (@Yanazuki1) reported

    I feel my anger issues worsening in life, so naturally I gotta start playing overwatch and main healer to feel even more hatred and rage

  • RandomIdeas03 TheMuSic (@RandomIdeas03) reported

    @OrdnajelaSomar @excryptor @thegameawards But that IS the problem. U4's have nothing unique to offer beyond the good story. And the gameplay itself have almost no afect on the story. So as far as gameplay goes I think Overwatch deserved more, for its gameplay, polishment and support.

  • Luminalmvm Luminal (@Luminalmvm) reported

    @redwingbuff @TejaFX @_Lunadria_ Where am I promoting valorant? I don’t play it either. And yes i know the issue w blizzard, my view’s that they removed the people who were part of the issue & the overwatch team weren’t involved with that. End of the day enjoy what u want but accept valid criticism of them

  • noelletruther tori :) (@noelletruther) reported

    overwatch ranked has got to be broken right now why am i, a silver 2 ana player, in a lobby with masters and grandmasters and when i do get my 7 to rank up i only go up 1 rank

  • Accalia0730 Accalia (@Accalia0730) reported

    @iLootGames am i not allowed to not like either? I played apex from day one and quit in season 13, got bored and the game has too many issues. Warzone im bad at and always get rolled by sweats, prefer fortnite for BR and Overwatch

  • Wildrose1556 Rose Wilde, Eepy Gamer (@Wildrose1556) reported

    @SuperButterBuns Does overwatch 2 still have the same social problems as 1? Do people still do the whole "I have gold heals as Soldier, he's a healer" thing or instalocking hanzo?

  • gwiishin 𝒌𝒂𝒅𝒆 (@gwiishin) reported

    @ILikeTsuKiNo @AcidQueenOW any other occasion id agree but there were a lot of moments where i threw bc my lag was so bad :,) loove overwatch 2 and missing shots i already had lined up

  • ainomeaD Daemonia (@ainomeaD) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix ranked on overwatch 2 already! Also just some salt, but heck your rank decay nonsense! I was gold 4 and now cause rank is based on wins not how good you play (double edged, that) but by how often you win or lose, I'm hard stuck silver 1

  • EskayOW eskay (@EskayOW) reported

    @OW_SVB FIX OVERWATCH LEAGUE!

  • M35Y_ Messy (@M35Y_) reported

    Ball isn't bad in Overwatch 2, you just have to be really good at him to get decent value (and be willing to switch when you can't). The problem is too many people *think* they are really good at ball

  • ArlMisery Arl Misery Arse (@ArlMisery) reported

    Overwatch 2, my experience.. Tried on day one and it wasn't working. Just tried again now and it's asked for 3 or 4 different hoops to jump through just to sign in. Page 1 do this, page 2 go here, page 3 sign in again. Deleted. ****, ******** off @Blizzard_Ent

  • ChumaPG Chuma (@ChumaPG) reported

    @Claylex1 Been thinking on reinstalling TF2, problem is that really I feel fed up with that game, it became Payday 2 where you need items to be bought or dropped on to have loadouts, im OK with overwatch and Valorant skins. You can dm me your discord and steam, need new allies/friends!

  • Britboytrev97 Izaya Orihara (@Britboytrev97) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Seen "The best gift is spending" and was like overwatch is finally admitting the money is a problem?

  • satanxty Satan Ty (@satanxty) reported

    This is also the last time I try to even play overwatch on stream until I can update my setup or they fix this bullshit cause I just can't ******* deal with it anymore. It happened 5 times today, every game I tried to play it happened, I want to know why it only happens on it

  • jaden_joker Joker Jaden (@jaden_joker) reported

    What if @PlayOverwatch made a feature where everyday you login you get a certain amount of “overwatch coins” and that would help players get more skins instead of wasting so much money for like one skin. #Overwatch

  • redwingbuff apoke 🐦 (@redwingbuff) reported

    @Luminalmvm @TejaFX @_Lunadria_ Weird how you ignore Activision and Blizzard then, do some research if you believe the people that are the issue are gone, but you wont cuz you dont wanna quit Overwatch

  • TibleUWU Tible!! 🏳️‍🌈 | ❄️☃️ (@TibleUWU) reported

    Anyone else having connection issues with Overwatch servers or am I the only ************ with 400-800ms latency Cause only this ******* week have I been having these issues

  • woof_ow Woof (@woof_ow) reported

    There is no possible way to balance current overwatch, blizzard needs to release as many heroes as fast as possible. I dont care how op they are, the sooner we get more heroes the sooner they can add a ban system which would fix so many of the games problems.

  • Rebeccacraig43 Rebecca Craig (@Rebeccacraig43) reported

    I swear the internet only has problems when I want to play overwatch. 🙄

  • MahirGone Mahir (@MahirGone) reported

    @OW_SVB @EskayOW For competitive overwatch for sure I agree 100% franchising stinks. But also ow hasn’t supported tier2 or below scene which is a major issue

  • CorneliusZoom Cornelius 'Zoom' Thompson (@CorneliusZoom) reported

    @MukiHyena I played Halo infinite (This would apply to any Halo anyway) after Overwatch and found that my aim improved with snipers and everything else I now sucked at using. I couldn't use snipers before. And I keep trying to use positioning in Halo, as if that ******* matters. I'm Broken.

  • Vermontious Les Vermisérables (@Vermontious) reported

    @VVaypoint As long as gameplay isn't locked behind Lootboxes I'm so ok with them. Overwatch 2 has this problem - no way to earn skins whereas the first let you get them through the boxes

  • satanxty Satan Ty (@satanxty) reported

    and not on any other ******* game I play, I can play anything else just fine but for some reason Overwatch will ******* disconnect me from the internet randomly and several times in a ******* row whenever I play it. The only time it didn't was last night so ******* fix your game

  • GoodAssChum C (@GoodAssChum) reported

    @antwon_exe @PlayOverwatch There’s actually a fix for this! Open overwatch, press play>training>practice range. That should fix it!

  • DeterminedSloth DeterminedSloth (@DeterminedSloth) reported

    Man. Never seen Overwatch been more of an L in my entire life than the current state it's in. Fix the game and maybe it would be more fun for everyone.

  • LuLuCatcher Lu (@LuLuCatcher) reported

    @Surefour Overwatch in general has a content problem. Heroes releases too infrequently, skins are priced too high with skins not releasing frequently enough, shop is barren, map rotations being a thing, reusing Holiday events ALREADY. How do some heroes still only have 3 Highlight intros

  • TechSage1 Tech Sage ◥θ┴θ◤☁️ (@TechSage1) reported

    I've been playing overwatch more and I've noticed 3 things. 1 I ******* hate junkrat (Probably a skill issue ) 2 Genji is harder to play than I originally thought 3 I'm Always getting sniped WHYYY widomaker and anna are EVERYWERE (Zen needs buffs badly imo)

  • jawbreaker_x JawbreakerX (@jawbreaker_x) reported

    @ItsSomjuu overwatch is one of those games where both high and low elo seem to have the EXACT same problems LMFAO

  • nurodev Ben (@nurodev) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Unsure how true this is but according to a friend Starlink will send a TCP reset / RST request after a disconnect is longer than 2 seconds, which most games correctly interprupt in different ways & Overwatch it seems takes it as a "Kick to the login screen"
