Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • StolteNick Nick (@StolteNick) reported

    @HoegLaw Overwatch has 3 main problems 1. Technical issues 2. Costs money when it’s competitors are free to play 3. A broken queue system because no one plays tanks or support This really only deals with 2, and their fix for 3 seems like overkill IMO.

  • Premium_Loser Premium Loser (@Premium_Loser) reported

    @PlayOverwatch I bought the overwatch 2 watch point pack on ps4 but now it's saying I can buy it again. Is this a glitch or???

  • Nova2127u Nova💜 (@Nova2127u) reported

    @theprint The only Blizzard game I have, Overwatch, is just stale to me and the lag compensation system really sucks, so along with the lawsuits, i can't bring myself to actually play that game anymore.

  • lnternetdan Dan (@lnternetdan) reported

    one reason i dislike battle passes is that they often force you to change the way you play the game in order to unlock things with challenges (for example in fortnite, stuff like "open x amount of chests in x location). this isnt a problem with the current overwatch system.

  • KrisMakesStuff The horny corner (@KrisMakesStuff) reported

    @Zzyrks36 @Actualsenpai47 @TheFishnit Willow who's been the same ****** drogot with broken antiheal for the past half decade Octavia Tiger dude Current ying Buck without the dmg and CD reduction bounce house You could cut out 10 champions and rework 20 more and the game would still be just a shittier overwatch

  • Tuffty88 Simon (@Tuffty88) reported

    Overwatch 2 now having a battle pass makes sense considering it's going to a F2P model. And the fact that lootboxes = gambling by ruling from the EU. I don't hae an issue with it, considering I play OW consistently anyway.

  • blckberriii murph (@blckberriii) reported

    @BlizzardCS @StabbTV thats broken bruh why is there no other option to pay for overwatch 1 separately as a gift for someone

  • MykelaStar Mykela (@MykelaStar) reported

    Am I going to get back into #Overwatch for Overwatch 2 simply because there’s a battle pass and I have a spending problem?

  • BoltronCity Colton Wallace (@BoltronCity) reported

    @lucyjamesgames @PlayOverwatch @tamoorh Overwatch had so much potential but unless they can fix the core balance issues with things like where the classes fit and shields, I can’t see myself getting deep into it again. Will be interesting to see the balance of “2”.

  • RiznoArt RiznoArt (@RiznoArt) reported

    @schisam @PaladinsGame Please invest more into Paladins. It just feels like you've taken resources away from it over the last couple of years when Rogue was being hyped up. You have real competition here against Blizzard/Overwatch, but Paladins is just so buggy and broken in comparison.

    How fast will overwatch 2 crash and burn I bet it’ll take a month

  • Mattsa_64 Dylan a plush gorilla 🌻 (@Mattsa_64) reported

    @_watsu Every overwatch 2 news or crash 25th thing was immediately announced after some move they did

  • jsapps_ julia (@jsapps_) reported

    @crunkdome you missed the entire message where i am saying the tier list is stupid and that’s not the actual problem. also i’ve been watching X since lile early overwatch days chile

  • iColbey iColbey (@iColbey) reported

    @AskPlayStation so I bought the overwatch watchpoint pack but when I download overwatch 1 it says trial is there a way I can fix this

  • TalesOfBelle beebee (@TalesOfBelle) reported

    a lot of my frustration with Overwatch is like... I'm just upset about video games lately. The last two gamefest shows have like shown me nothing but games that I should be interested in, but just can't be. either due to live service models, or being open world.

  • Panda_Rue Panda._.Rue (@Panda_Rue) reported

    Anyone else having trouble updating Overwatch? It kept telling me it was waiting on another download, but I have nothing and wouldn't let me click 'start this download'. So I tried scan and repair and now it's just stuck scanning in a loop D:

  • ZAGaming10 Pannekoek 👾 (@ZAGaming10) reported

    @erikkain @Forbes That's cool, should keep it from getting in trouble with increasingly agitated EU policy. Hope we get a server down here, 200ms overwatch is weird.

  • kels0ooalt 🌗 (@kels0ooalt) reported

    You know what I'm still going to save up all my lootboxes in Overwatch 1 because I have a problem

  • MortitiaVonE Morty von Elphberg (@MortitiaVonE) reported

    @BlizzardCS is there an issue with the overwatch comp queues right now? Me and 3 friends (yes, I have friends... and play OW) have waited in 2 20 minute ques with all of us choosing to flex all roles and no avail.

  • LammHagelsturm 🥕🎄🔞𝓟𝓸𝓶𝓛𝓪𝓶𝓫𝓼𝓒𝓪𝓻𝓻𝓸𝓽𝓢𝓱𝓸𝓹♂🐑🎄🌨️ (@LammHagelsturm) reported

    @OverwatchCaval I remember someone in the audience of a Overwatch league event had gotten into trouble for 👌. It was a big story for its time.

  • MonkeyGolira MrMunkie (@MonkeyGolira) reported

    @schisam @PaladinsGame tooken during bounty store rework, along with my grohk skin, later i BOUGHT a pack and it came with a mount, about 2 months later mount stolen without warning, never had a problem like that i overwatch. Paladins is also a game that has a dev team the appear to be incompetent. (2)

  • PandaMasterCC Landon Plumley (@PandaMasterCC) reported

    @InfiniteManny Overwatch isn't the type of game that overgoes massive changes; that would just make it a different game entirely. They needed a new foundation to go forward, so they did that. With the new live service layout it'll actually be rewarding to continue playing, and that's great.

  • lolwatjustin ToniColletteVEVO (@lolwatjustin) reported

    So basically what I’m gathering is that everyone who bought the Overwatch 2: Watchpoint Pack on PlayStation is having issues with it not showing as being purchased (or letting you download the game), but PlayStation keeps saying it’s not their fault. Very cool! 🫠

  • RochelleyBaby Rochelle🏳️‍🌈🎮 (@RochelleyBaby) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCSEU_EN @BlizzardCS tried tweeting you guys about a serious issue but I think it got deleted, which is odd bc I thought Twitter was more lenient. It’s about the weird *** custom games in overwatch

  • Animewolfgamer Marcos Rojas (@Animewolfgamer) reported

    overwatch is litterly an abusive relationship at this point. Its really disturbing when the community is imploding and there is a obvious disconnect with not only the game, but with its content creators and average fans who had to debate if this is good. #Overwatch2

  • Corruptori_OW Corrupt (@Corruptori_OW) reported

    @Custa @Outlaws The way everyone is just expecting overwatch to keep freely give out cosmetics still while having no consistent funding to actually make the game. There’s a reason why we didn’t have a live service game and it’s because lootboxes aren’t sustainable

  • zairvix Zairvix (@zairvix) reported

    @StarKitsun3 @PlayOverwatch People have been straight begging for this in order to allow overwatch to compete with other live service games and now that it's here all I see is complaints man I don't understand people

  • CRK_FGC_OW_TF2 El Scorcho (@CRK_FGC_OW_TF2) reported

    @ClearTogether @M1das_OW It's kind of weird -If they really did whitewash Pharah, she has arabic traits -And Overwatch prides itself on their characters' diversity -And who would earn from whitewashing Pharah anyway? For those points, I think it's just a human error, not white washing

  • plsconflux adhd gamer (@plsconflux) reported

    @MostlyBrockish @GamesRadar mate overwatch literally gives cosmetics away for playing the game, it doesnt really mate now as a lot of live service games are free and they have to make money somehow time have changed

  • Trionus_OW --Trix--™ (@Trionus_OW) reported

    @Treyarch Game is actually dog *** there is nothing you can do to fix this **** Mw2 is gonna be *** fart **** ***** water too ong. Use your imagination again and come up with a new setting bruv. These zombies updates ain't it, y'all goin down the overwatch path fr, but even ow redeemed
