Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • unk_chunk #1 Overwatch Expert - correct 100% of the time (@unk_chunk) reported

    @RexOverwatch Bro you’re stuck regurgitating Geoff Goodman talking points. How is it watered down? Why is balancing an overpowered character unhealthy for the game? How is a broken character fun for anyone except the person playing that character? Nobody wants overwatch to be perfect

  • Coach_Whistle Whistle (@Coach_Whistle) reported

    @RavenWings_ I like it but I think with the amount of heroes in overwatch, theres only a couple broken characters so the same bans will happen every game. Itll be different from comp but still the same game every time. The point of bans is dynamic meta, not a different but stagnant meta

  • PearUhDox PearUhDox (@PearUhDox) reported

    @Smdtwitte123 Its still frankly insulting to Overwatch players' intelligence to do this when these were quick number tweaks that could have been done instantly. And yes there was an issue with Roadhog being unable to be hotfixed, but frankly, that should have been said immediately, not now.

  • HappyNunuNoises PapyScotch (@HappyNunuNoises) reported

    @mp5undercover Everyone's complaining, it took them 6 whole month to nerf something that was broken in beta + day 1 patch. A lot of big streamer stopped playing, overwatch league gets sued, cant play overwatch in China. The game is back to his playerrate of ow1 only 6 month after the release

  • NLTigerEsports New London Tigers Esports (@NLTigerEsports) reported

    Some Overwatch servers are down so we are having trouble with some of our computers getting logged in. Stream might not happen today but we are hoping 🤞

  • crazychrissoto Chris soto (@crazychrissoto) reported

    @BlizzardCS @OverwatchCaval That may explain my issue, I just purchased the Scuttle emote on overwatch 2 and I lost my coins but the emote is still locked. Is there any help I can get?

  • FloridaBeast904 Florida Beast (@FloridaBeast904) reported

    @herperdition @CapraCrapa @SamitoFPS Shouldn’t be steps with 4 patches , shouldn’t be steps with a team that’s been here since day one of overwatch it should be leaps , it shouldn’t even been a problem they had 3 + years of no content

  • Chifuyu_Akashi Chifuyu Akashi 🦝🌟 ENVTuber (@Chifuyu_Akashi) reported

  • BeeJellyVT ✨♡ Bee ♡✨ (@BeeJellyVT) reported

  • FlawSocial SocialDesignFlaw (@FlawSocial) reported

    The fact they talked about reducing the main functional design problem of Overwatch 2 (Tank Health) for all game modes EXCEPT Role Queue? Is...😶 ...On the other hand, if this leads them to seeing the potential for this change to get this game into a functional state? 👍

    @CodyWatson_20 @ItsSomjuu bro I think YOU don't play tank or even overwatch at all sombra is just a mild annoyance, and supports can negate everyone's utility that's not a tank problem. and which DPS is shredding through tanks exactly?

  • TokyogamerO TokyoGamerTTV (@TokyogamerO) reported

    @xlbooyahlx @PsychobillyLily @BungieHelp No its called being considerate as the devs could easily not say **** until there's a fix and we'd have the overwatch 2 situation where people just wait wondering when they can play atleast now you can see that it'll take a hit and play something else
