Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DarpUhDarp DarpUhDarp (@DarpUhDarp) reported

    @AscendantNomad Problems happen when those top fraggers complain that the others weren't capping points, especially when bounties and quests (e.g. Iron Banner) call for defeats or final blows. This isn't Overwatch where I can choose a tank class that is better at the objective.

  • meepheep meepheep (@meepheep) reported

    @Chicken_Ponyo @hinalul I had that same experience, the problem is that once your learn everything, it just gets boring. That’s why we need overwatch 2 so badly

  • 0e_oe りりり (@0e_oe) reported

    @BlizzardCS I am currently unable to log in to Overwatch. I get an error message "BN-564". The server is located in Asia (Japan). When will I be able to play that?

  • Cookii923 cookii (@Cookii923) reported

    @CarolineX0Val The problem being valorant just like overwatch has a bad content creation process, to become quote on quote successful it really is knowing the right people or getting lucky, its a dream job that sadly feels so unreachable.

  • livelyturkey Turk (@livelyturkey) reported

    Overwatch has been capped at 60 fps in game for the past 2 days. I’ve tried everything I can think of to fix it. Anybody ever had this problem? #overwatch

  • pebbleys lorrie 🐸 (@pebbleys) reported

    the problem w the overwatch mains thing is a. that blizzard sucks. but b. that sometimes characters just simply would not play it (sasha). but she WOULD be a pegasus

  • janepilled jane. (@janepilled) reported

    @6taao fix overwatch by making me get gang banged by all the women

  • possessed_ow m (@possessed_ow) reported

    2-3 hours of Overwatch update: -soul crushed -called dogshit -same sr as start -interacted with developmentally disabled children with ego problems overall had fun will be doing again

  • jeffjeffjefftbh *🍃Tangela👞* (@jeffjeffjefftbh) reported

    I look at Junkrat overwatch and be like “I can fix him”

  • Internetuser765 InternetUser76 (@Internetuser765) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Overwatch players are obsessed with making up random problems and then complain ing about it as if it's a normal thing players do.

  • kiwieon kiwie (@kiwieon) reported

    overwatch fix your ******* game, sleepy and i just got removed from a comp match due to "inactivity" when both of us were playing and we got suspended AND our SR went down tremendously

  • Nobody89463796 Nobody (@Nobody89463796) reported

    I really anjoy overwatch and I'd love to see the game do better but it's not going to happen until comp gets a fix and better rewards for comp because gold guns ain't going to cut it anymore. People want a real grind and more rewarding. The game is wayyyy too team based

  • treasuresson Vic-Treasuresson (@treasuresson) reported

    @launchbasevgc @mary_maria_11 @nescartridges The studios that worked on the said Crash Bandicoot titles haven’t been involved with such however. Rather it was the WoW and Overwatch (ironically) teams that had done so.

  • BC0PS Lewis Barcock (@BC0PS) reported

    @Tr3y94 Same happened in overwatch for a while. People will pick characters they enjoy playstyle wise no matter if they are meta or not. There will always be some characters that will always have a lower pick rate unless they become broken

  • 32Beatdown 100T Belle 💙🕹 (@32Beatdown) reported

    The more I play @PlayOverwatch the more I realize how broken and stupid Rein charge ability is :/ #Overwatch

  • Mars_O_W mars (@Mars_O_W) reported

    @Flamingo_OW Dw overwatch will fix you, trust

  • OW_Link Link (@OW_Link) reported

    ******* hell I have to calm down. This dude is blatantly admitting to cheating in vc and match chat and most people dont seem to have a problem with that. It feels like the people who actually care about Overwatch are a minority at this point. Is OW really THAT dead ?

  • SunniDMelanin 🌞☠𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘪 𝘋. 𝘔𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯☠🌞-learning SOT- (@SunniDMelanin) reported

    @MrsPeterdick It's a spiral of feels and frustration. As much issues as DBD has it's nowhere NEAR as bad as it was for me with Overwatch. I'd play DBD over that ANY day lol

  • JKDragoneel JK, B (@JKDragoneel) reported

    @DontzSenpai well im suckin at leveling up at Gods of war 4, crash i was good but now with the new one i suck at it, Skyrim, dragons dogma im cool with, Halo, some leveling games, Sonic, Overwatch.

  • astralogia2 Astralogia (@astralogia2) reported

    @The_Bunnyyy That's often been my issue with Overwatch, and competitive games in general, it just seems to bring out the toxic side in people. I get that it's competitive in nature, and it's totally okay to feel disappointment if you lose, but not to get angry and shouty at people.

  • LecheLorn Lorn (@LecheLorn) reported

    The Overwatch Collegiate scheduling problem hopefully is just contained to this first tourney. Alot of time these opening tournaments are to test ruleset and setups and things so I hope they make changes for the actual season if they don't do it for this initial tournament anyway

  • paradoxxor77 paradoxxor77 (@paradoxxor77) reported

    @skills_unknown @RogueCompany On Overwatch, they have a low XP punishment system. If you AFK or disconnect too many times, you're hit with -90% XP for 15 full games. I think. I got it a few times & it sucked, but I was able to keep playing.

  • HerrnHonecker Der_gutaussehende (@HerrnHonecker) reported

    @yessir56771812 I don´t know why, but some reason I can´t stop playing Overwatch. This game has so many problems like the same Meta for almost 4 years, no new content, a toxic player base or a ****** up mmr system. But instead of quiting, I continue playing the game.

  • 1upGaming1up 1up_Gaming (@1upGaming1up) reported

    @Somniloquy__ @BowtieShyGuy @nintendolife I'll only really hate a company is if They do Vile things. Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Guitar Hero, Pitfall, Overwatch, Warcraft, Diablo and Starcraft's legacy has been tainted and I think that Crash and Spyro should go back to Sony

  • xxlofiyumixx AstroYumi (@xxlofiyumixx) reported

    @Elxslve You should see ps4 overwatch lol it's horrendous it's like they are lagging us on purpose

  • iPeticular The Atomic After Show ™ (@iPeticular) reported

    Gotta love Overwatch. Team complains that everyone else is dogshit when they are the problem and then they get defended by their teammate who is carrying them.

  • ClonkPog clonk (@ClonkPog) reported

    @KGringo66 im so good at this game i caused 4 peoples overwatch to crash

  • jdouryu JAY (psych ward era)  (@jdouryu) reported

    @BlizzardCS Can't connect to Overwatch on one of my accounts, it's giving me a BN-564 error.... But I'm able to connect on my second account just fine. What's up with that?

  • TheRedCap30 TheRedCap (@TheRedCap30) reported

    @AntlerWeasel @Q_Review As someone who is deeply invested in Overwatch and Crash Bandicoot I feel this pain.

  • toomanysnipers Teeth (@toomanysnipers) reported

    @OverwatchGG the problem is they announced Overwatch 2 in 2019 and still no release date at the end of 2021, Blizzard has dropped the ball big time
