Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Dante56E Panic at the Darktide (@Dante56E) reported

    @yeliomiiiiii fair but im more about that rep as an aesthic rather than any real character like a fortnite skin or overwatch doing something to cover up pr issues

  • wafhuw shah (@wafhuw) reported

    buff rein to fix overwatch

  • MattyNiceTV Matty Nice (Checkmark sold seperately) (@MattyNiceTV) reported

    There are so many games I want to play/get back into: PUBG (mindless fun) Overwatch 2 (playing currently) WoW (playing currently) Halo Infinite (Forge is there now) Apex (but so many sweats) Warzone/DMZ (but I still get errors every other match) Tarkov (need more time in day)

  • Mooon_Riiver Kacpy (@Mooon_Riiver) reported

    @LowkeeLokii I hardly agree, overwatch feels like a game that's meant to be played for fun not one to grind out and suck all the enjoyment out of because you dedicated your life to this fictional rank (which is a problem in many games tbh, first thing that comes to mind is league of legends)

  • ruaware2022 yee your last haw (@ruaware2022) reported

    @PlayOverwatch The game is dead more or less now. Comp is trash. Pve is a dream. Itll take too long for overwatch team to fix all of these things people find wrong.

  • Cmlaws1214 Chris Laws (@Cmlaws1214) reported

    @BlizzardCS another applying update error on XBox for overwatch 2 has me banned for an hour on comp. Why haven’t y’all fixed this problem?

  • CableVT Cable | Game Design VTuber (@CableVT) reported

    @DirtyDiesel_ i'm hoping they improve, and i do feel bad for everyone who dedicated themselves to Overwatch as an esport but I think most people kinda saw this coming after the disappointment of the first few seasons of OWL and the issues in 2020, just maybe not to this extent

  • jtpduffe Joseph Paul Duffey (@jtpduffe) reported

    @FPSBoomerGames Overwatch 2 is so much better. The problem is the kidsiness. Also, it has very loose hitboxes. If you actually test the delay over the internet, it's easily half that of COD with 4x the TTK. You can't get instakilled that. It's unbelievable. MW2 is like a big spliced trash fest.

  • Famenor_ Famenor (@Famenor_) reported

    @xaviersonline after trying overwatch 2 i can say unironically that paladins is superior in every single aspect has a better tactical formula that doesn't stop it from being fast and fun, there isn't a super broken character or class like the tanks in overwatch or either a weak one, +

  • Mooon_Riiver Kacpy (@Mooon_Riiver) reported

    @LowkeeLokii I feel that if we got more characters in overwatch 1 the meta could've been broken a bit There wasn't enough changes in the last 2 years of the game to suggest any real shifts, some slight hp/damage balances just wasn't enough to break it up

  • ValyrianFPS ValyriaN (@ValyrianFPS) reported

    @heilune Without having to rework hog or buff Orisa, Orisa now counters everyone instead of just hog and that's a problem. Overwatch balancing team in a nutshell though

    i’d be more scared of my xbox bein broken tho cus who tf gon get me a new console ?! i need to grind overwatch 😔

  • chasecharb Chase Charbonneau (@chasecharb) reported

    @alfoxie @gloomylesbians @TheActMan_YT But do you see where the pushback is coming from? You say buying the wizard game is a transphobic act so does that make all overwatch players **** apologists? Acting as if you can't enjoy HP while also being supportive of trans issues. As if no trans people will play the game

  • SirOrpheusIII idv women enjoyer (1/2 slots open) (@SirOrpheusIII) reported

    the way we dont know the login to our battlenet pass account so i cant do the overwatch drops reward </3

  • Yellowscar1 Yellowscar (@Yellowscar1) reported

    @dajewelbeastOG @OWAnonymous_ Overwatch was designed around off-tanks, so they SHOULD. The PROBLEM is that it can't be in the TANK role because there's only ONE of them now. The DPS are far more expendable, and can easily fill that role in a balanced way. Just look at Mei, she fits it just fine.

  • Duck_Outa_Cluck Ducky (@Duck_Outa_Cluck) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ I still like playing but queue times and lack of something to work for suck the energy out, even in Overwatch 1 most the problems I have now were their but now we’re just replaced with different just as annoying things

  • h01ygrail MujinGrail (@h01ygrail) reported

    I’m so serious I need blizzard to fix the overwatch esports scene this year. Like they really gotta get a grip.

  • onedgecjq Christopher J. Quinn (@onedgecjq) reported from Fresno, California

    The January 6th Committee avoided commenting on how weak the security response was at the Capital the day of the Insurrection. Am I the only one who thought the Secret Service & Capitol Police routinely position Snipers in "overwatch" and tactical teams for threat response?

  • rieper47 ⱮìçհąҽӀ φҽʂąҟ (@rieper47) reported

    @xxmitchxx267 @XboxSupport @PlayStation Not really, this is a Blizzard problem. PlayStation has the same issue with Overwatch 2 shitting itself

  • HeatnixS Heatnix Sama (@HeatnixS) reported

    @HappyChimeNoise That's my biggest problem I have with League. Tanks are supposed to tank, that's it. But tanks are tanking while also doing the same damage as the other roles. Exactly the same problem Overwatch has/had. Nobody likes to kite a tank for 15 seconds and then he one shots you anyway.

  • Maktackle Maktackle (@Maktackle) reported

    @PH7RAOH there's gotta be some way to Kaiba it. buy 51% of the overwatch league so you can fix everything.

  • Mooon_Riiver Kacpy (@Mooon_Riiver) reported

    @LowkeeLokii I just wish they could have done it in overwatch 1 instead of acknowledging the problems of the game in overwatch 2 I miss the double tank, there were some fun synergies there that are now undoable

  • xRealMarioXx Real Mario (@xRealMarioXx) reported

    @PlayOverwatch THANK YOU! I would have spent hundreds of dollars on skins in this game if the store wasnt so outrageously priced and the if the game wasn't constantly broken. Now Im able to quit the game without feeling like I'm missing out on everything. Thank you so much for killing overwatch

  • RaePandax Rae (@RaePandax) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent please disable roadhog. He’s so broken. @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch

  • hem64491778 hem (@hem64491778) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix overwatch 2, this **** ******* sucks

  • theEmaculate emac (@theEmaculate) reported

    @AdamCol56800291 @yoshisspam @OWAnonymous_ Overwatch 2 is FUN. It’s not broken, it doesn’t have HORRENDOUS bugs that you see on a daily basis, and people don’t spawn DIRECTLY in front of you. Idgaf how long I’ve played. I’m having FUN. So go eat a **** and stop trying to tell others to not have fun.

  • mannytries Manny © (@mannytries) reported

    Please @riotgames add a feature like Overwatch where you can avoid teammates for a little time. The player base is large enough and if a user is being dodged a lot, high probability it's a problem with them no?

  • RLINEFPS jaye (@RLINEFPS) reported

    @frisbie147 @ManyATrueNerd i’ve also got about 3,000 hours in smite, 2,000 hours in valorant, and about 1,000 hours in overwatch. like i said, maybe a bit of a problem lmao

  • Jaiden_Riley820 Jaiden Riley (@Jaiden_Riley820) reported

    @reapertalons24 it’s just getting worse. i’m lvl 11 in the bp, that’s how little i’ve played bc of it 💀 i just miss overwatch 1. they’ve now: removed lootboxes and lvl’s, added price tags to everything, inflated comp ranks for some people and don’t fix op heroes
