Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • demonblade541 Rakuen Knight ENVTuber (aka Alan Ocon) (@demonblade541) reported

    Blizzard needs to fix their voice chats... I was on overwatch 1 and one game the chat work the next game i can't talk to anyone then the next it is fine again. It looks like no one joined i am on open mic and it doesn't show me on the top so it doesn't work

  • LliamSwick Lliam Swick (@LliamSwick) reported

    @PlusMin03340269 @OWAnonymous_ At the end of the day the problem isn’t the amount of new content we’ve received it’s how ignorant and entitled people treat this as OW2 full release rather than WIP v.1. The overwatch team is trying to work forwards more regular content and open communication which is a big step

  • ryujin3838 Ryujin3838 (@ryujin3838) reported

    While I’m giving my rage/hot takes about Overwatch, another problem I’ve faced now that I’m on PC: I can’t DPS for ****. I feel like I can’t use any well, especially easy ones like Tracer or even Soldier. Bunch of the cool ones have a high skill gap, rest aren’t viable a lot :/

  • shitpostbotmax rhys 🐃 (@shitpostbotmax) reported

    the fact that overwatch 2 can be described with a changelog from overwatch 1 is the problem

  • ImmortalDino Immortal Dino 🥵PERSONA VIBES🥵 (@ImmortalDino) reported

    @BlizzardCS Is there something going on with Overwatch right now on PlayStation? Me and my friend are trying to log in after a few days ago, but we keep getting a “Error, can’t log you in”

  • appleciderwitch cleric hypebeast (@appleciderwitch) reported

    I think Blizzard introducing overly strong characters to break metas lead us to "double shield" (which was also bad but not for the reasons people always think) but I think 5v5 didn't fix it, it just made a game more people who love shooters like vs. Overwatch

  • chvrchesy ✯ Cas ✯ (@chvrchesy) reported

    @SamitoFPS @Stylosa No, the question has always been “will people come back” because if they don’t, it means Overwatch’s problem was never the content.

  • Sdeleon159 SDeleon159 (@Sdeleon159) reported

    I feel like playing support in OW 2 right now is really difficult. I feel like I am always dying. On the other hand though I like it because its forcing the team to actually protect us. That was a huge problem when I played Overwatch.

  • TheeFantomas El infame Sergacabra (@TheeFantomas) reported

    Finally played some rounds of the Overwatch 2 beta. Its literally the same game...with all the same flaws and issues lol

  • BayouBoiGaming Bayou Boi Gaming (@BayouBoiGaming) reported

    @pcgamer Blizzard: “man people really seem to be making fun of overwatch 2 for being nothing but a full price remaster. What can we do to fix this?” Blizzard: “I HAVE AN IDEA!”

  • PajamaPajamaPa2 Nate'sPajamas (@PajamaPajamaPa2) reported

    @arturio818 @ser20011 @OverwatchNaeri That doesn't make it any less of a glitch lol. If you want what mobility "Features" in Overwatch look like you can look at any mobile hero. And no, it's accoladed as hard because it's the only thing you can screw up. You can't screw up Valk or pocketing.

  • smol_jackie Jackie ~ ✦Tanuki Ringmaster✦ (@smol_jackie) reported

    Can't fix problem with Apex so imma just play some overwatch instead, sadge. Apex next time!

  • jaedaemon1 Jae Daemon (@jaedaemon1) reported

    @bruces The problem with Metaverse is the aesthetics. It’s not PUBG-ish, or Overwatch-ish. There’s hardly any glint of “Coolness” to it. It’s not Neal Stephenson’s “Metaverse”.

  • SH4NMU shanmu 🎒 (@SH4NMU) reported

    @heyGuhRL @Falloutt @PlayApex This will cause the game to go down the Overwatch route. If you know, you know, and if you don’t, do your research. You very much don’t want legends that can compete be added. Power creep would kill the game. Please respectfully never suggest this again. Fix the problem (gibby).

  • Xaffire Xaffire009™ (@Xaffire) reported

    @_Netherlight_ @BlizzardCSEU_EN Yessss this but issue for me on @overwatch being tossed into loosing ending matches and gets counted as a loss in my record before i even get out of the spawn zone.

  • SweeSwoo9000 David Lopez (@SweeSwoo9000) reported

    @HeyPeterG @FluxRBLX @JonDoyleDesign And what games are you trying to play, because everyone here having that problem seemed to be trying to play Online only titles like overwatch

  • TreatyReaty Treaty (@TreatyReaty) reported

    @izofizzo @overwatchleague The strat they used was openly used on Eichenwald and Rialto in Overwatch League matches (the infinite immortality glitch was not illegal also), "timely" isn't what I'd call it, they waited until the whole round was over and the casters praised the play to do anything about it.

  • lolaluv____ lola (@lolaluv____) reported

    @Avast_o you're working in customer service now i thought you were the rupert murdoch of overwatch

  • TheOrcosaurus 🦾 CybOrk Model No. 69🦾 (@TheOrcosaurus) reported

    @mythoughtsRbad That's the issue. If you don't want the single player mode you don't have to pay for Overwatch 2 afaik and Blizzard does a piss poor job at explaining that.

  • MikeDGHawk Mike Hawk (@MikeDGHawk) reported

    I find it funny that Windows 11 is still NT 10.0 just as Windows 10, it’s almost like the situation with Overwatch and Overwatch 2, it’s just a patch with fancy name and coating, with most of the same problems as the previous version if not more

  • AbsyntheBitters 🔞Absynthe Bitters (@AbsyntheBitters) reported

    @TatariuTV what is it with Live Service games i play that they always end up copying overwatch's menu U.I.

  • IcemanGames93 David Martinez (@IcemanGames93) reported

    @Seren1tynow "Our first Open Division events of the year will be hosted on the current Overwatch live service." Not even on the OW2 PvP beta...

  • thomsvoid thomas (@thomsvoid) reported

    @ZethremEatsCock @JLforemanjrAcTN @Stylosa then they shouldn't have called it overwatch 2. that's exactly the problem with blizzard's marketing. damage has been done

  • BartholomewBlnd Bland (@BartholomewBlnd) reported

    Shame of Florida Mayhem for blatantly cheating. I would be burning all of my overwatch merchandise by now, but thank the heavens that @overwatchleague swooped in and fixed the problem promptly and in a timely manner.

  • muttsrightarm hype (@muttsrightarm) reported

    i've definitely reached a point in my career as an overwatch support main where if people try to flame me i just laugh because i know i'm not the problem. i'm not like a pro level healer but i'm pretty friggin good.

  • JohnDraisey John Draisey (@JohnDraisey) reported

    @DarkCarbonGame Is Overwatch 2 in trouble? I understand using some older assets, but the whole game is just the previous game? What is this, Madden NFL 22?

  • ironwiIIs ardbert enjoyer (@ironwiIIs) reported

    removing the second tank was a bad idea and anyone who says overwatch is an improvement is like a genji main who's happy that he's broken beyond all belief right now

  • Crimson__Vega Brad (@Crimson__Vega) reported

    The most obnoxious thing with any team game like Overwatch or something is when you have that one teammate that just ******* about everything. Shut ******** and play. You are the problem

  • noughtwrought Wrought (@noughtwrought) reported

    Honestly it's really funny that overwatch has such a problem with dps players not being able to get into role queue matches but when they buffed tanks and made it so you can only have one per team instead of making 3 DPS positions they just made it 5v5 so neither can queue in lol

    BTW this flyer is from 3 years ago when I didn't get to celebrate 😳 so let's fix that and replace Overwatch with something ✨extra fancy✨ 🌈 🌸
