Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

    @HSGHelios @Dam310Ninja @MarkYetter although this is a problem for overwatch, incouraging otp's to play their onetrick is not bad for league. Would you rather have a guy that is 200-500lp lower grade player on other champs or have him play his otp and have a chance at winning? Comps in overwatch are more important

  • starbounddd peck (@starbounddd) reported

    i still dont know whats worse playing overwatch comp with the "just one more game" mindset or having actual real life problems

  • celestivi cełeste (@celestivi) reported

    i honestly might not stream much as well (with the possible exception of minecraft and overwatch) considering i lag on games on and off stream (normally any cod, rocket league, apex all lag on and off stream). until i get the internet situation fixed, stream is v limited

    @BlizzardCS OVERWATCH - PS4: Keep getting disconnected from server ONLY from competitive play. Arcades work just fine. My internet connection never lags or interrupts when I disconnect from ow servers, I have a 1Gbit wired connection. Nothing else other than overwatch have problems.

  • littleplebb Littleplebb (@littleplebb) reported

    @gsimsxx @rachybop @MiddletonPlays It doesn’t really make a difference with like 4 packs tbh, there was a little bit of lag on my gaming laptop that’s a year old but I installed Nras overwatch and it deletes unused cars like at 3am every morning. I would recommend to reduce lag

  • BotWithOpinions Video Game Opinion Bot (@BotWithOpinions) reported

    Many Mortal Kombat games are terrible but most of them would be stinky if they had a tactical nuke, Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle, and blaster launcher

  • OikawasTrauma tony (@OikawasTrauma) reported

    i dont really know what it is but i also did it like recently when i saw there was supposed to be an overwatch thing episode in glitch techs (supposedly i’m not sure) it feels really funky

  • _geovanny021 Geoo S (@_geovanny021) reported

    @CSGO I would like to ask you to fix the overwatch so that no one else can lose their accounts for bullshit, we spend a lot on CSGO to end up banning for unfair overwatch ??? this situation is very sad, correct this, improve the valve ant cheater system, so that people do not lose..

  • GhostOfKabubu2 Kabubu (@GhostOfKabubu2) reported

    I play @PlayApex a decent amount but one thing that is clearer than glass is just how frustrating it is to play in an African country. It's exactly the same as when I played Overwatch and Valorant. The server issues coupled with the ms delay is just agonising

  • oxtonbot lena (@oxtonbot) reported

    Overwatch-players really had an outage,

  • PastelArts12 shart daddy (@PastelArts12) reported

    FOR SOME REASON NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT HOW JUNKERTOWN GOT ADDED BACK INTO OVERWATCH QUICK PLAY IDK IF THAT WAS A GLITCH OR NOT BUT

  • DubRC21 Dark Randall (@DubRC21) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Hey in overwatch 2 can we please fix the vc glitch #Overwatch #Fixit

  • Babs767 Bahu Ismail (@Babs767) reported

    Echo is so much fun please don't nerf her, I know she's broken but please I finally look forward to overwatch

  • TheKnight4Smash The Knight for Smash! (@TheKnight4Smash) reported

    @TheHollowNat 15% Blizzard is owned by Activision and it’s kinda hard to see them wanting an Overwatch rep over the popular request of Crash, it’s possible though!

  • K4312Y KabirPlayz (@K4312Y) reported

    I didnt know crossplay in overwatch was such a big problem until i made some friends online who play exclusively on console. How tf am i supposed to play with them?! @Blizzard_Ent ADD CROSSPLAY!!!

  • wowmartiean WoWMartiean (@wowmartiean) reported

    The biggest problem in Overwatch is that people feel like backing out, or or taking cover takes too much time off the clock. You know what takes time off the clock? You dying, which also staggers our team and feeds theirs. Its a numbers game! 5 vs 6 doesn't work!

  • StevenVictor93 Enrique Victor (@StevenVictor93) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Y'all really need to fix Hammond on Overwatch. Put a time limit on the how long he can swing around. The fact that it's unlimited is broken af!! Also, nerf bastion and Roadhog. There's no reason why Hog's hook should reach almost across the map 🤔😑

  • Ozon3TV Ozon3 (@Ozon3TV) reported

    @R31TZV2 @TheGodKarma Would this help with my rtx 2070 I got? It started crashing and i was getting weird colorizations on games like Apex and overwatch. Eventually had to go back to my old gpu because it would consistently crash my game if I ran any newer game.

  • nurvcom Anthony P (@nurvcom) reported

    @EVGA_JacobF @teamevgasupport I got rtx3090 ftw3 ultra and I have 850watt psu. And ryzen 1800x 32gb ram In games like. Cyberpunk 2077, overwatch, gtav My computer will hard hang or crash my whole pc when graphics are turn down it won’t crash :(

  • ElmoItz Itz_Elmo (@ElmoItz) reported

    @FallGuysGame do crash bandicoot or overwatch

  • punsandbunsgg Christian Gillespie (@punsandbunsgg) reported

    I feel like Overwatch has more tweets about community issues than esports, and that depresses me because it's a phenomenal game. We really need to get this game more support in many facets, and it starts by propping up community leaders that have integrity, not clout.

    @KevinChudzinski @RockyDaNerd @Slasher the 4 characters i said where just some examples but many people in the community hated most of the characters at some point wether they are fast and annoying like genji and tracer or bulky like Hammond People CONSTANTLY have issues with Overwatch yet your acting like

    @RxK69966539 I hated it, its too repetitive, the gunplay is weird and the characters are broken, i prefer CS GO or Overwatch over it

  • wrthcrw huntress 🏹 (@wrthcrw) reported

    @fayren overwatch feels so half assed and poor compared to apex's character progression (even if apex has its own problems), and its so cool to check each patch for new voice lines, interactions, and everything inbetween for the little things!!!! i wish ovw did that ;w;

    @PlayOverwatch Me: 👁👄👁 My broken overwatch cd : 👁👅👁👍

    ||• I will be back on Sunday to RP with you all again!! I'm thinking of making another overwatch account since I'll have a lot of free time (I'm not working the whole of march). Who would you like to see? And no it won't be just nsfw. I want some actual SLs #OverwatchRP #OWRP
