Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • RiffandR RiffandRage (@RiffandR) reported

    @SamitoFPS Unfortunately the balance in Overwatch is the last priority for Blizzard. Zarya is completely broken compared to picks like Junker Queen, and Sol is another broken hero. They need to actually ‘live’ balance the game instead of leaving characters to run rampant.

  • Airplaneboy14 Airplane (@Airplaneboy14) reported

    this overwatch server broken 💀💀💀

  • its_kantje kantje (@its_kantje) reported

    Came out as an Overwatch apologist to my parents today Anyone got a couch I can crash?

  • spookosu spookosu (@spookosu) reported

    @JaceFincham @ALEX68342030 @Chainsaw_EN Nah man you coping harder than the average overwatch player. What’s going on? I’m down to talk to you about your problems at some point alright?

  • IAmGrumm Grumm is talkin about Da Phightins. SAID (@IAmGrumm) reported

    @LizzieLuckk The other thing, its not good enough nor different enough to even want to play it, in my opinion. So, its like, did you just wanna play Overwatch without getting "in trouble?"

  • NotNinjaCat DTR Ninja Cat (@NotNinjaCat) reported

    Overwatch is broken literally I used orisa’s ult on three kids with a mercy dmg boosting me plus my LSHIFT ability was on AND it was charged 96% PWR and yet NONE OF THEM DIED

  • SilentUschi Birthday Hot Anime Cosplay Waifu (@SilentUschi) reported

    Overwatch needs to fix that there ranking system because it sucks ***. 7 wins that i grinded my *** off for to go from Bronze 1 to Silver 5 is disrespectful lol

  • MandoDownunder Mando ♡ (@MandoDownunder) reported

    I've been playing Ranked Overwatch all morning and I'm still sliver 1?? after doing all placements and stuff I should have ranked up by now?? Can someone explain to me WHY? or is it just broken...

  • LilPinealGland . (@LilPinealGland) reported

    Lmao madden is ******* broken. Overwatch 2 it is

  • sadkingTM sadking (@sadkingTM) reported

    @OverwatchNaeri Who's, realistically, going to buy every cosmetic in the game? I get the problem, but I don't think anyone's going to want everything in the game. You had six years to play Overwatch and unlock the skins you wanted, but just because they're now priced, it's a problem?

  • Hylyx_ Tyler (@Hylyx_) reported

    Has anyone else had issues launching overwatch, I keep getting a black screen and then it crashes

  • KaityKatX25 KaityKatX 💜Team Violet💜 (@KaityKatX25) reported

    Is anybody else having an issue with overwatch 2 freezing up with a black screen on PC?

  • Anthonydtapia93 🎃I Love Sofie♥️👻 (@Anthonydtapia93) reported

  • owencarti (@owencarti) reported

  • NorazCan Dr.Can (@NorazCan) reported

    @BlizzardCS Fortunately I don’t have rendering problems, but Overwatch 2’s weekly challenges are not tracking correctly. Despite completing many games, the progress of only a few is tracked. It’s so frustrating can’t get the coins or exp. Please fix this bug asap. Thank you

  • kiikazuu kazu°•🎃 (@kiikazuu) reported

    @CeleREDUX There's always a fall guy for everything tho I don't get the issue man. Just like every Overwatch issue was blamed on Jeff Kaplan, or every bad thing with Smash was Sakurai. That's how it works, obviously people are aware there's more than one person involved

  • NyxSniping_ Severe Nyx (@NyxSniping_) reported

    I was so excited to play overwatch that I forgot how ****** my internet is and how much I would lag. I’m so done

  • gothgirlfetish 0 (@gothgirlfetish) reported

    Overwatch 2s open play meta is literally just 3 tanks and 2 healers because of how ******* broken every tank except doomfist is

  • natschulerr nat (@natschulerr) reported

    the storm cut the internet so it made me disconnect from my ranked overwatch game and now i’m upset

  • BiekerJosh Josh Bieker (@BiekerJosh) reported

    When individuals think that Overwatch 2 is the only game that’s releasing where Activision Blizzard is requiring a phone number to login. The next game they are trying to implement this new “Feature” into is Modern Warfare 2.

  • _Sir_Koi_ 「 𝗞𝗼𝗶 ✨COMMISSIONS CLOSSEEDDDD! (@_Sir_Koi_) reported
