Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • comewhenyoucaII 𓁹𓂏𓁹 D (@comewhenyoucaII) reported

    the most important social issue we’re facing today is overwatch 2 not having the cards for good gameplay anymore

  • Dr_Platonic Dr. Platonic (@Dr_Platonic) reported

    the Overwatch community has such an ego problem it's insane

  • Specsifier Specsifier (@Specsifier) reported

    @CrazedWD Be the change you want to see in the world. Stand up and speak what you believe. I'm done pretending it's the game that is the issue. It's not. WoW is the only game this happens in in the MMO space. The only games more toxic to encounter players from are Overwatch and League.

  • ShopzGG PsyQo ShopzGG (@ShopzGG) reported

    @voiidxi Everyone in overwatch is broken

  • sorakitsu Sorakitsu🌙🌌🦊🇨🇦🇻🇳 ✧ ENGVtuber ✧ (@sorakitsu) reported

    Several games played: Valorant (Lag spike cause internet streaming) Apex Legends & Mobile Don't Starve Together Craftopia Minecraft League of Legends: Wild Rift Pokemon Unite Can't played: Overwatch 2 (Pre-paid phone plan ban I don't trust game developer)

  • att_att_1980 jo b (@att_att_1980) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN hey Blizzard. My son is trying to merge two overwatch accounts from PC and PlayStation. It hasn’t worked yet - is there a timeframe for this to work or is there an issue? He’s paid for lots of content on both accounts and I don’t want this lost. Thanks

  • Prodigy_OW2 Prodigy/Memories (@Prodigy_OW2) reported

    Are overwatch servers lagging cause I was lagging last game and the whole lobby said they were lagging too

  • HeyImVictor Victor (@HeyImVictor) reported

    Competitive #Overwatch sucks right now. I have no motivation to grind when the matchmaking is such garbage. Why the hell is a top500 player in my mid-plat match? @PlayOverwatch fix your garbage matchmaking.

  • toriaella notgonnabemercy (@toriaella) reported

    5 times in a row now 3 people on my team quit each time. It's tank and dps. Is something happening that's causing this?! Why is this game so broken? #overwatch

  • EmoViking_ jordan meadows (@EmoViking_) reported

    Tomorrow is overwatch stream with Long **** John @jonnykidd09 then Thursday is minecraft because I havent stopped playing it and now it's a problem

  • MonadoboyX Monadoboy (@MonadoboyX) reported

    @AbyssWalker365 @Greywall_ @Stylosa Also the sheer audacity of the price of the cosmetics is stupid in overwatch 1 you could buy 50 lootboxes for $50 that's 200 items for $50 in overwatch 2 $50 can buy you about 3 skins can you see the problem here you have to dangle a carrot let players earn a cosmetic they want

  • ItsGlitchLocked GlitchLocked (@ItsGlitchLocked) reported

    @spookyaddison unfortunately, this is a problem with all competitive titles. take overwatch for example so many balance issues and ranked issues, I would be here all year, but people keep buying their admirably insanely good skins so they think they are doing something right

  • AnthonyFountis MDRAnthonyGR (@AnthonyFountis) reported

    Will overwatch 2 ever fix its ******* matchmaking. I'm trying to have fun, not play against top 500 players 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

  • asiantrash_ow azn (@asiantrash_ow) reported

    @Lancefishersu @SamitoFPS Terrible take the reason why apex aim assist is an issue is because it’s I believe called directional aim assist which is much different from OW which just slows your crosshair on targets. Overwatch aim assist is fine the issue is the game literally aiming for you

  • Spacecore17 Spacecore (@Spacecore17) reported

    @900_nutboys @TheUnistallWiz @SYACVG Every one of Overwatches problems have been solved by TF2 already

  • megzzbtw megan 🎄🤍 (@megzzbtw) reported

    Is Overwatch not working for anyone else

  • gredinx Gredinx (@gredinx) reported

    @RGuy505 @KesslerCOIL @HoshizoraOW You don't have to pay for character, you can stack golds to buy them + character not being available is not an issue like in overwatch.

  • valoLanzzzz Shourya (@valoLanzzzz) reported

    @saintmunkey @Vietnomeez @s0mcs phone number login just like overwatch

  • M4D_C4P BrandenRittenberry (@M4D_C4P) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent You need to fix this error in overwatch 2 where players keep getting stuck in a " applying update" loop right as they find a game. I'm suspended for 15 minutes because of your programming in what I assume is a loss for me. Embarrassing dude

  • Oriokine orion :) (@Oriokine) reported

    has anyone else been having issues with vc bugs and just overwatch server issues

  • yesjoorrl joorrL (@yesjoorrl) reported

    @BlizzardCS Overwatch keeps kicking me out of queue with an "applying update" issue and gives me a leaver's penalty. Is there any fix coming soon?

  • maaaxsss max?✨ (@maaaxsss) reported

    fix the overwatch matchmaking

  • WOO_Nyquil King.Nyquil💫 (@WOO_Nyquil) reported

    @OpTic_Spartan_ Ur never the problem, she don't even play overwatch and she somehow the problem.

  • 1of3Angels 👑 Unconquerable Angel 🌙🌙🌙 (@1of3Angels) reported

    @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch #Overwatch2 FIX THE DAMN MATCHMAKING

  • TYW_trout NEEMIAS SZN (@TYW_trout) reported

    New #Overwatch heroes will likely only cause further issues. Now look at a game like Fortnite, which built the modern F2P model. It added all the sorts of items that flipped the meta regularly AND CAPITALIZED on that. Shifting the balance…

  • anneugh annie (@anneugh) reported

    what ******** is overwatch’s problem 😭 I’d rather be ranking down and up instead of just staying still at the same rank — I feel like I’m improving but I don’t know if I am 😭😭

  • Ch0r0ngsimp Adward (@Ch0r0ngsimp) reported

    Overwatch matchmaking is so broken

  • lilaccoded J (@lilaccoded) reported

    uhhh anyone know when the applying update error will be fixed #Overwatch

  • dlasris Cheetos Christ (@dlasris) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent could you possibly fix the overwatch 2 'applying update' issue that has me suspended for a third time now?

  • HIBBYMAYCRY matthew 🧸 (@HIBBYMAYCRY) reported

    you should not be able to hide your ranks in overwatch competitive idc if blizzard wants to stop toxicity in that regard fix the matchmaking so we get people at our actual rank rather than some hidden MMR we can’t even see
