Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TruthSurreal SurrealTruth (@TruthSurreal) reported

    @snowypoutine As for what you can do about that, Google to see if other people with your ISP are having trouble with overwatch servers. Open a ticket with blizzard to see if they can help, if they find out that's the problem, it's up to them and your ISP to work it out

  • LilithOce LilithOCE (@LilithOce) reported

    who is the most broken Overwatch hero and why? 🤔

  • Nomic744 Nomic (@Nomic744) reported

    @Gokage_ @LC_KN1GHT117 @DeadByBHVR It's either one or the other. Can't have ranks or MMR in the game without having one of these issues. Same thing happens to overwatch, league or any game with ranking/MMR in it

    // I miss playing overwatch so much, I can't wait to fix my pc... it's been 3 years since I've played ;;

  • SeekerTheFreek Seeker in the Lab™ (@SeekerTheFreek) reported

    A lot of ppl misunderstand franchising didn’t kill cod just take a look at overwatch. The issue is the path to pro and challengers support which was never great but you could always play into pro bracket now there’s nothing for challengers

  • Dmagi_14 Dónal 🎄🇮🇪 (@Dmagi_14) reported

    So turns out my ps5 just doesn’t want me to play Overwatch. Lag is unbearable on it and I have no idea why

  • JohnTheFishBoi 💛 🏴 FishBoi™️ 💛🏴 (@JohnTheFishBoi) reported

    I've stood by you guys through all of your negative press, not for yall, but because of my love for the actual game. I've had enough. Fix your servers and your buggy game or lose a very loyal customer. I promise you I will not touch Overwatch 2 with a 50-foot pole. I am livid!

  • CharismaVoid Austin 🍍🍕 (@CharismaVoid) reported

    @ShiftedRider echo could have been great but Overwatch couldn't abandon their sameface issue

  • Redhead_sharky Kira Kirishima master wielders ( no event ) (@Redhead_sharky) reported

    So I wanted to play overwatch for free right? Why do you need a damn battle net account? It's a problem to get set up cause the damn site doesn't recognize you once you put it in so i deleted it **** the CEO he needs to step down already **** that game I'm done

  • Wolverines42422 Wo1ver BeAsT (@Wolverines42422) reported

    @GameSpot Overwatch. Don't get me wrong it can be fun and good at times but holy **** there are a lot of things they need to fix and add. For example, lack of content, new skins every 3 months is not gonna keep a consistent player base at all.

  • 777fede fede🥒 (@777fede) reported

    @alexHDgameing cs go league starcraft overwatch etc. analyst with an incredible amount of knowledge, has made tons of good content over the years but unfortunately has a bunch of bad takes on social issues

  • IXavien Xavien (@IXavien) reported

    @SeraphicaIy its why when i played overwatch i legitimately could not tell the difference between plat and GM players cause mercy was broken 4 years ago they changed it so past diamond its 100% win/loss based there is NOTHING stopping people from just getting boosted and sitting in GM forever

  • junkiiramen Your Local Walmart (@junkiiramen) reported

    @NotEmeraldWolf @ShapedInternet I remember when Overwatch was trending, they released a gun similar to Junkrat’s gun and they made it broken since you could just shoot in the sky and the blast radius would kill enemies, I used to have fun with it

  • papa_poseidon Papa Poseidon, the Moist God (@papa_poseidon) reported

    @GameSpot Before the issues with Activision-Blizzard, back when Overwatch was still at the peak of its hype, back when the idea of a Co-Op oriented mode and the stream of cinematic lore releases was a thing...yeah. But I literally forgot there was going to be a sequel, until this tweet.

  • snowypoutine SnowyPoutine 🌹 (@snowypoutine) reported

    Anyone know how to fix Overwatch connection issues? -my internet is fine -every other game is fine -drivers are updated I'm not sure what else to do 🤯

  • CGCentralHD98 CGCentral (@CGCentralHD98) reported

    @merrillpinkard @G27Status @BraedenSherrell Overwatch won goty awards for its year what's your point? So your saying all the broken games , stupid docs, BS practices and fallout76 in its entirety didn't hurt the brand, your deluded

  • DeltaFireexx • D Ξ L T Δ • (@DeltaFireexx) reported

    @BlizzardCS hey wondering if PS4 overwatch reports are actually taken seriously bc it seems like they are not… three grown *** men throwing around the nword REPEATEDLY Your game is a joke. Please dude. Fix the goddamn reporting system on console.

  • TadashiN_ Dracaena Somnolanta 🐟 (@TadashiN_) reported

  • aIiengender seven (@aIiengender) reported

  • KEIJI4CE yun ☆ (@KEIJI4CE) reported

    WHY IS OVERWATCH LAGGING SO BAD IM GOING TO KMS

  • WizardCM Matt Gajownik (@WizardCM) reported

    After re-seating, it seems to be happy. Played a couple hours of NFS and Overwatch without issue.

  • Maverick6261 Maverick626 (@Maverick6261) reported

    @BlizzardCS @TooSmartNA My friend and I in NJ can't play Overwatch but our buddy in Philly is having 0 issues. Can't be coincidence.

  • SmolToasty 🍞SmolToasty🍞 (@SmolToasty) reported

    Having connection issues on Overwatch so the stream is cancelled tonight, my apologies

  • KarooTuber Karoo 🖤 (@KarooTuber) reported

    12. I hated streaming games that would just not work well. Like Overwatch would lag a lot and make it almost impossible to play :c

  • XiwuCS Xiwu (@XiwuCS) reported

    @basisspace @cole__hammond I have been playing competitive online games (mostly FPS) for 20 years and have honestly never come across a game with a cheating problem as bad as CS:GO. Trust Factor / Overwatch aren't working as intended, but the biggest problem is that the ranking system encourages cheats.

  • Blanklump end (@Blanklump) reported

    I don't trust people that play Overwatch, Valorant or LoL. They're deeply broken and want to hurt everybody around them, including themselves.

  • SomaPillsTV somapills.eth 💊 | SOMA 🎄💫 (@SomaPillsTV) reported

    The whole season is a wack now, feels like Overwatch ranking all over again, the mmr just can’t be fix because people be smurfing and it’s not fun anymore. I understand the frustration on everyone. Just like any competition game, always cheaters…

  • OBGamers344 OBGamers344 (@OBGamers344) reported

    It's really interesting that based on what role you main in overwatch, you feel the other roles are broken and make the game unbalanced.

  • MaeveIsLyfe Charybdis (@MaeveIsLyfe) reported

    @Fed0raTheXplora Agreed! Main ones I want are Overwatch-level customs (maybe workshop), the better LTMs (especially the PvE ones like the 5 Pips) and the goddamn skin customization. Their excuse of clipping is so dumb, their current skins clip so, what’s the issue
