Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • mrwillybilly poo fimbly, phd (@mrwillybilly) reported

    overwatch is horribly balanced right now. supports (especially mercy) feel useless, doomfist and soujourn are broken beyond belief, and it doesn't feel like the devs are listening. crazy.

  • Youngjae_Lee295 샤오첸루 (@Youngjae_Lee295) reported

    What is wrong with Overwatch 2 lagging so much? Literally impossible to play when it freezes. Oh and then I get tossed on a backfill because that also lags my game And then another control map because that's all that exists.

  • gaming_cores DaGamingCore (@gaming_cores) reported

    @EeveeA The issue is not long after the second beta, they stopped calling it Early Access. Ever since around then, they have said the game will/has launched in October. As far as they want us to believe now, this is Overwatch 2 as it was supposed to release, and PvP will be DLC

  • CrusadeLunar Lunar_crusade (@CrusadeLunar) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Both heros are fine where they are the real problem is some dps heros don't do enough damage to some tanks even with headshots. And starting a nerfing hero's culture is only going to further hurt the overwatch 2 community than ow2 new player base #overwatch2 #gaming

  • GodGamerBTW Vizra (@GodGamerBTW) reported

    @JWantedL It's what killed overwatch 1. Same devs, same game, same problems

  • milkiohs Milkiohs☂️💖🐮 Cow-tton Candy Vtuber! (@milkiohs) reported

    I am NOT going to play overwatch comp until they fix their **** it is SO ******* BORING TO PLAY 5 GAMES AND NOT SEE ANY PROGRESS REGARDLESS IF ITS BAD OR GOOD

  • OnesieLightYear Star Commands Hamburger Lady (@OnesieLightYear) reported

    You know what really really grinds my gears when the other mercy fights me LIKE HEAL YOUR ******* TEAM WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING FIGHTING ME I think my overwatch fix for the day is over at least until I have dinner. God help me

  • Dragonflame1090 DragonFlame1090 (@Dragonflame1090) reported

    @KristenRaeTTV If you still have it installed you’re part of the problem. Overwatch 2 is just a giant scam to get people to play the ****** micro transaction bootleg update to overwatch1

  • pRush__ Rush (@pRush__) reported

    Just watched a clip of Content Creators and Pros for overwatch say they told blizzard that multiple times that sojourn is still broken during playtesting, but they didn't listen. Overwatch is already killing their own game and literally lying to everybody. So sad.

  • Wreck_it2000 wreck (@Wreck_it2000) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @battlenet I merged my account almost 48 hours ago and now I can no longer play overwatch I keep getting error code LC-208 I put in a ticket no answer my user name is Wreckitralph#11788 please help🤘🏽

  • Sims2smoove Smiling Blade (@Sims2smoove) reported

    My overwatch mmr so damn broken. They be having me playing with *** ****** like I’m one of them!!

  • redcarpetgamez ✨ Kaymas ✨🎄👠 (@redcarpetgamez) reported

    Welp all my call of duty and Overwatch stats bout to be wiped since battlenet support won’t fix my original account. Heck even my stuff from PlayStation and Xbox after linking it doesn’t carry o we when merged.

    FIX OVERWATCH RANKED

  • OMGWTFL0LZ Callie (@OMGWTFL0LZ) reported

    Anyone else having issues in the hero gallery with their in game currency being gone in Overwatch 2? My competitive points are still there but all other currency and options to purchase things in the hero gallery is grayed out? @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS ?

  • DestinooRpg destinoo (@DestinooRpg) reported

    @EeveeA The problem is they already call themselves 2 and did all the marketing claiming to be overwatch 2 ONLY for more attention. Now take the consequences and admit the game sucks because of terrible decisions that only harm the game and community. Stop deffending a multi-million corp

  • just_oliveira16 Justin Oliveira (@just_oliveira16) reported

    @DpsDeku I’ve never been less hyped for a new season of a game since Overwatch 2. When you’re more excited to go to work than play Overwatch, you know there’s a problem.

  • wisemove 5LG | Wisemove (@wisemove) reported

    @Ahntye Overwatch rn is 100% worse just waiting for them to fix the game

  • ScottishGam3r M a r t i n 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@ScottishGam3r) reported

    @KristenRaeTTV Overwatch 2 is a joke in general. They've ruined everything that made the first game amazing and it's sad to watch this train crash happen in slow motion. Clueless. @PlayOverwatch

  • L_moment2 yo mama (@L_moment2) reported

    @OverwatchEU fix your damn game, we get a server error and we get Jack **** for it happening like what ********. Fix your damn servers and if they cut out themselves then we deserve a little something. #Overwatch

  • lgbtanime NISHA | C6 SCARAMOUCHE (@lgbtanime) reported

  • Stainuse JAMES_TALLANT_? (@Stainuse) reported

    overwatch is unplayable rn just doomfist everywhere and sojourn is still way too broken and they buffed all the cringe *** characters actually crazy they made it worse

  • El_Escapista_ David Macías (@El_Escapista_) reported

    @MldGhost @chav760 @thicc_stick_boi Xbox has donde no work at all on Diablo 4, Overwatch, or any CoD. At this rate xbots are gonna say Microsoft has all the merits for Crash Bandicoot.

  • lilredhorns 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐚 ⚖️ (@lilredhorns) reported

    wanna comment “skill issue” under every tweet complaining about overwatch 2 just for no reason

  • chvrchys ✯ Cas ✯ (@chvrchys) reported

    Overwatch died the minute they released Kiriko. Her cleanse has to go or either hog will be absolutely useless and unplayable (which they won’t do) or he will remain broken due to how well he can be enabled. Problematic abilities should not he introduced in the first place

  • qtkaiii ♡︎ᵐᵒᵉ♡︎ (@qtkaiii) reported

    @Alonso__G10 @PlayOverwatch try going to Microsoft store it's probably gonna say u don't own it but click it and it should say oh u purchased this and then go back into overwatch I was having trouble when it was the start of ow2

  • delaga8 delaga (@delaga8) reported

    @Custa Honestly for the console that splatoon is on it runs pretty decent overwatch has pc, xbox, playstation and switch. With the server issues and that new ****** *** tank thats why we lost

  • TheWizardofYASS 🍬 ᩏỉ᭢ƙ ᭢ꪮỉɀꫀ🍬 (@TheWizardofYASS) reported

    @redhoodie_guy @CeleREDUX @ItsSomjuu if they were "occasional" I wouldnt be making nearly as much of a fuss about it. 3.) the glaring difference between both launches is that Overwatch suffered a DDoS, (which is no fault of their own), immediately fixed it, and now the game runs smoothly (for me). Splatoon—

  • octomarette octomarette 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ (@octomarette) reported

    @kittythemercy @PickPig1 @Custa im sorry honey, but this is genuinely a skill issue. I main the second slowest weapon in the game, dynamo, which is only faster than an e-liter, and it is not slow in any capacity, it is so fast paced it makes overwatch look like an elderly home lmao. i have over 1k hours on both

  • KristySixty1 Kristy60 (@KristySixty1) reported

    @BassRhythm_OW @OWAnonymous_ additionally, the problem with character skins in FPS is that you can't even see them unless emoting. valorant does this right because you see your gun 100% of the time. so for me, if i have a disposable $20, it's going to valorant, not overwatch.
