Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BuzzzzBumble Buzz (@BuzzzzBumble) reported

    @Xtrfy Overwatch because I have a problem

  • ThunderMarcvs Marcvs (@ThunderMarcvs) reported

    @martin_paints @LexDecrauw @Sixdiceskills agreed on the problem of overwatch losing the extra attack. Buffed by the Hurricanum the Sisters still deal 8 wounds on average to a 4+ save which can still be helpful (killing 2 morsarr guard or a shark). In any case, yes, screening them is better, I like shadowstalkers for that

  • a_wild_zubat_ow anthony👾 (@a_wild_zubat_ow) reported

    @NerosCinema I hate pro cod I see it as a joke of esports they ban everything like wow is your game that broken they just ban 90% of it? If it’s that bad make a bad faze for that stuff but games like overwatch are way better cuz we don’t ban 90% of the game at most 2/3 hero’s

  • Aoarii_ Jake (@Aoarii_) reported

    @ZephyrXBL Honestly bo2 system wasn't even good better than bo4 but it wasn't good they should've gone with WW2 or Overwatch or Siege but we can't do anything now just gotta hope they fix bugs and **** that is damaging the game which they are

  • Cnacks_ Con @ New Year, New Rune Factory 5 🏳️‍🌈 (@Cnacks_) reported

    @dalakurai @Lummdogg It’s horrible when it happens, can you imagine my rage my mouse not working in the middle of an overwatch match, 😡

  • Lookin4Beans Nick!!! (@Lookin4Beans) reported

    dream stans better stay ******** away from overwatch and fnaf these two fandoms already got too many problems they dont need more

  • RockPyro pyromaniac_ (@RockPyro) reported

    So I've been playing role queue on Overwatch lately and it's nice to have a dedicated healer, only problem I have is having to wait 10 minutes for a game only for it to be Nepal

  • SimplyMakoto Makoto (@SimplyMakoto) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Unpopular opinion. With the rise of bullshit that just made Overwatch more broken than ever, I think they should just level lock the damn game. If you’re 100 or below, you should only be allowed to play with level 100 or below. See how fast this **** sort itself.

  • Savagecabbage67 Jose Ramos (@Savagecabbage67) reported

    I swear to god if I get ddos again on comp overwatch I’m going scream my lungs off

  • ColonelRPG Colonel RPG ✊ (@ColonelRPG) reported

    @SebastianSB Just look up "overwatch aimbot" on youtube. Lúcio is particularly susceptible to aimbots because you have very little control over when flying (it's basically a predetermined arc), so the aimbots have a lot of room to compensate for lag and kill Lúcio.

  • Abusive_Pillow ty (@Abusive_Pillow) reported

    @CODLeague @CallofDuty First yall need to fix league bc im a good play with a mic and i keep getting teamed up with shitty plays i think its stupid that when i loose a game it takes -61 like what y soo much even when its not my fault its just as toxic as overwatch ans we all know how that is

  • SharkkRad RadSharkk (@SharkkRad) reported

    @Dntieger7 @PlayApex There focusing on content because the don't want to turn into overwatch. Also why does everyone say the servers are bad I never crash for me on xbox.

  • d69ddy Jess (@d69ddy) reported

    i had trouble sleeping cus i was stressing about my overwatch sr maybe i am a nerd

  • Skewedh Diego (@Skewedh) reported

    Yo @BlizzardCS, I'm having some issues right now. "My friends list is empty" but that's not true... I've at least 100 accounts added as friends (even alt accounts) and the app/games (tested in WoW, Overwatch and Hearthstone) still show no friends.

  • PshyCover Pshy wandavision and AoT spoilers (@PshyCover) reported

    Can't wait for blizzconline so blizzard can finally kill overwatch for good! :D competitive will be a joke if the game went free to play. Hackers up top and smurfs down below, It will be a fuckfest and they can't fix neither.

  • maaarleeea Marlea (@maaarleeea) reported

    I have no issue with waiting for Overwatch 2 but without content being released into the current version of Overwatch, it makes the wait painful

  • Dumbbellthegod yeahtbhidkbro (@Dumbbellthegod) reported

    Whenever I see slasher pop up on my feed it just makes me think about the time he casted or did analysis for an overwatch monthly melee and had “technical issues” and came back absolutely baked.

  • RealBreadskate TheRealBreadskate (@RealBreadskate) reported

    Overwatch I’m going to have to ask you to fix your ******* matchmaking

  • RdeFuijk RobinDF🇳🇱 #PS5 & #XSS (@RdeFuijk) reported

    @Littl3MissV @CrashBandicoot It is? I never had any issues with Overwatch or Diablo 3.

  • martin_paints Martin Wolf (@martin_paints) reported

    @ThunderMarcvs @LexDecrauw @Sixdiceskills I think the problem is that you don’t get the extra shot in overwatch because you have an enemy in 3”. Or my opponent just send in a chaff unit first, I have to use Overwatch and then he goes in with his actual killing unit.

  • MikotoBunny 光尊 幸 Mikoto Yuki | EnVTuber 🏳️‍⚧️ (@MikotoBunny) reported

    I've screwed around with my model settings and now hopefully I can run the model with Overwatch on stream without it causing epic lag

  • IanIsBack Ian Sadler (@IanIsBack) reported

    @kfcgaming To be fair listening to the community (especially multiplayer ones) isn’t always a good idea, so many problems caused in overwatch now for example cos they listened to the community

  • MikuPilled_ Coach Gear (Heavyweight Hell Arc) (@MikuPilled_) reported

    The main issue with Overwatch is while it does capture the Pixar look in CG’s, and to an extent in actual play, it lacks the same iconic love that was put into it as TF2 did. As in Jeff Kaplan is a corporate sell out who only took the rainbow flag approach to “raise sales”

  • Wulfprince 💜🌙Thotticus-Maximus💜🤘 (@Wulfprince) reported

    @YuriKiyan I dont mean to be rude but this is the bigger problem I got with Blizzard. The beta concept was 100% black. And people think Symmetra, Ana, Pharah, and Lucio are black, but Overwatch doesn't go on the record to CONFIRM they are if at all. Just look at the Sojourn drama.

  • eMatomoto Matvey 'Matomoto' 🇺🇦 🇨🇦 (@eMatomoto) reported

    Warning: there's currently server issues with Overwatch. You can get a "server error" while in a comp game, and it won't allow you to rejoin, even if you relaunch. @Blizzard_Ent help!

  • JustinZoras Justin Zoras (@JustinZoras) reported

    @BlizzardCS having huge disconnect problems on overwatch, LC202 error code. MULTIPLE times a night over the last few weeks, never had an issue like this before

  • privsage jess • ᱬ (@privsage) reported

    i want to play overwatch but i don’t want to be upset you see my issue

  • robocop0305 Robert Tanner (@robocop0305) reported

    @BlizzardCS the Overwatch servers seem to be having issues. 2 games in a row ive had an "unexpected Server issue" and it kicks me from my comp game and i can not rejoin i dont lose SR but its still frustrating knowing my teammates are down 1 players. any info you can share?

  • ZenoKagemaru Snake Queen Zeno (@ZenoKagemaru) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ That’s the problem with Overwatch’s playerbase; they refuse to realize that rank means nothing and even worse, they’re the only ones that bring rank up in an argument, usually because they’re losing it and want some form of satisfaction, however hollow it may be.

  • shiyitso Justin Tso (@shiyitso) reported

    @BlizzardCS Have gotten 3 "unexpected server error occurred" in overwatch today and gotten dumped mid game each time.
