Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • RyanKonky Ryan Konkolewski (@RyanKonky) reported

    @miriammirwitch @PlayOverwatch This has been a problem from time-to-time on all consoles/PC for years and seems to happen when it's trying to do too much. Rebooting and running only Overwatch (nothing in BG) usually fixes it.

  • BrynoLad Bryn (@BrynoLad) reported

    @Octotroph blizzard really looked at the state of overwatch and thought that one of the most pressing issues was that 0 charge zarya does too much damage

  • RoxasTKM RoxasTKM (@RoxasTKM) reported

    I swear somebody really needs to fix the endorsement level system in overwatch, im tired of jumping between 3 and 4

  • Nugs4Bears The Nuggiest Bear (@Nugs4Bears) reported

    @GameSpot "When it will be added to the game, however, is another story." Overwatch's issue in a single sentence.

  • chromaticrose Rose (@chromaticrose) reported

    Not to be super salty but I don't really know how removing a tank in Overwatch 2 and essentially encouraging OT players to swap to dps solves this problem but sure

  • GodComplexLast Galast (@GodComplexLast) reported

    am I the only one unable to login into overwatch ?

  • RuiRIGVEDA roi 🕉️ (@RuiRIGVEDA) reported

    @AryanCrash The greatest problem of RSS are the operators. It doesn't matter if they are goofy or not. CS and Quake are good because the outcome isn't determined by which operator you picked a la Overwatch/Valorant/Siege.

  • DavontosMan Davontos (@DavontosMan) reported

    Overwatch has come changes on the Experimental Card & they reduced my girl Zarya's beam damage at low charge. From 95 DPS down to 70 DPS You can feel it, but it's not much of a problem. Zarya's still pretty good 👍

  • gronkdoesnot gnork (@gronkdoesnot) reported

    I feel like an issue with overwatch that prevents it from being a truly skill-based shooter is the sheer amount of stuns in the game. Why bother getting really good at shooting a moving target when you can just stunlock everybody in a big area and get easy kills?

  • BamForBINO Bam_BINO__ (@BamForBINO) reported

    @MastaSplinta15 @JankHank @PaulTassi I don’t like a overwatch type shooter, there’s no problem i just wouldn’t play it, if it was a hero shooter.

  • Mac___7 Mac (@Mac___7) reported

    @GOHGAMER @Treyarch Unfortunately the scan and repair issue isn’t something treyarch can fix, it’s just battle net being a dog **** launcher. I’ve been having the issue ever since I first started playing on it back in 2016 when Overwatch came out

  • chromaticrose Rose (@chromaticrose) reported

    Not to be super salty but don't really know how removing a tank in Overwatch 2 and encouraging OT players to migrate to playing dps solves this problem but sure

  • SrMorinigo Marcos Morinigo. (@SrMorinigo) reported

    Do you have any server address that we could use to test connectivity and follow the routes that cause high latency? It is important to mention that only with WZ server is the issue, when we play Overwatch, LOL or other boring game it works fine.

  • kunaii_red kunai (@kunaii_red) reported

    Overwatch threads are so annoying y’all fighting about skins and a broken game still after 5yrs? 😭

  • n3rfthiss stoner dva stan (@n3rfthiss) reported

  • StephenWNix Stephen Nix (@StephenWNix) reported

    If the Overwatch developers care so much how come they still have fixed the problems with competitive mode?

  • twooofspades rogert (@twooofspades) reported

  • DrKenobii DrKenobi (@DrKenobii) reported

    Went on a SICK 7 game losing streak in Overwatch last night. Had 5 of the 7 games have people disconnect or throw on my team so thats great. Any suggestions on new games I should try?

  • NeoChan1000 Neo (@NeoChan1000) reported

    @LukeIsStrange Batman trilogy + Lego Batman Trilogy on 1 day Now they only have money for an 5€ game from 2018 after an dead and broken NBA game, whats next? Smite? Overwatch?

  • BeaningAround Bean (@BeaningAround) reported

    @PlayOverwatch When will you fix the comp rank not showing bug and the ”we need a healer” even tho there are healers bug? #Overwatch #bug

  • BrynoLad Bryn (@BrynoLad) reported

    @Octotroph blizzard really looked at the state of overwatch and thought that one of the most pressing issues was that 0 charge zarya doesn't do enough damage

  • JamesFrankFlint James Flint (@JamesFrankFlint) reported

    @BO3673 @defencewithac The issue with the FSG overwatch principle is that it runs contrary to the assault, suppress, reserve cycle of a fluid fight. There will come a time when all your MGs etc will be stuck at the back somewhere, unless they have organic transport like WMIKs...

  • mummydust_ Ariel 🦇 (@mummydust_) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN how long are yall gonna continue to ignore the problem with people from eu getting onto mse servers in overwatch

  • malacursed punished ''venom'' malachi (@malacursed) reported

    @BlankPNG_ I miss early broken overwatch

  • TheExhaustedLad Hayden Boone (@TheExhaustedLad) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Bruh Overwatch is in a dumpster fire rn but never speak of ******* Paladins. That game is literally twice as bad when it comes to character tweaks since you have that dumbass card and currency system to make every ability broken and reduce cool downs or damage.

  • highground_god J. (@highground_god) reported

    @scripzure @OWAnonymous_ biggest issue with overwatch in general is the ignorance. people mostly play their one role so they don’t understand the perspectives of the other roles. it would be fine if people were willing to listen and communicate, but thats too much to ask for ig.

  • jcorbin04 Jacob Corbin (@jcorbin04) reported

    @TheGodlyNoob Ok ok, here me out: Mccree’s Deadeye Ult from Overwatch; you activate a thing that makes you stand still for up to 3 seconds, but firing your gun at any point while it’s activated gets basically a free delete on anyone in your FOV. Broken? Yes. Fun? Also yes.
