Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DeadFace1207 David (@DeadFace1207) reported

    @OverwatchGG And overwatch devs are like: not broken enough… op rework!!

  • Zulqarnyan Zee (@Zulqarnyan) reported

    @foreplay Overwatch, League, CSGO, Valo all have the same issue.

  • AriadnePicaro Ariadne (@AriadnePicaro) reported

    @ApexMirageMain agreed 120%, eventually its gonna end up like overwatch or any other overencumbered hero shooter and it's just gonna be a balancing act of broken metas

  • Java_jigga Full Volume Dr. Umar Video at the Staff Meeting (@Java_jigga) reported

    Really enjoying the fact that the new gundam game is literally just an exact overwatch clone because 1. It’s very funny and 2. I’m excited for it to have the exact same balancing problems as overwatch did

  • JFR777 JFR (@JFR777) reported

    @charlieINTEL The problem is that mixed lobbies are unfair. It's not overpowered if everyone in the lobby uses it, but it is if it's just 75%. Overwatch seems to me the only crossplatform game that understood this.

  • 7JustANumber6 Jack Morrison (@7JustANumber6) reported

    @SpectraIBeast He paused and took a breath. "Ana caught on quick. Gerard believed there was someone sabotaging the group from the inside. He was eliminated. Then Switzerland happened. We both died, so did Overwatch's problems." +

  • AirdylanCA airdylan 🇨🇦 | ShineGG (@AirdylanCA) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Is there an issue with EU for overwatch? My friend keeps getting thrown into NA servers and now they cant even get in game

  • SoonersVibin AJ_Sooner 🇺🇦 (@SoonersVibin) reported

    Is anyone else having trouble loading into an overwatch game? It just keeps loading for me. @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS @Blizzard_Ent

  • wickhelm wick🦂 (@wickhelm) reported

    @drlor4 I was having issues with overwatch a month ago and haven't checked since. but good looking out, doc

  • Masakiss1 Masakiss (@Masakiss1) reported

    So finally Horizon Lunar Colony and Paris are removed from Quick Play. These maps have long been very unpopular ones where many many players leave at the beginning. Removing contents isn’t the ideal solution for the issue especially at this content drought days though. #Overwatch

  • PRXJEK_ PROJEK (@PRXJEK_) reported

    @Naaely_ Heck, I don't even play Overwatch as much as I used to, but the problem persists because it is not exclusive to Overwatch. It's gaming in general. I get women who add me in games just straight up saying they added me because I didn't treat them differently. That's really sad. (2)

  • conztelation (@conztelation) reported

    @WLFGRLMG i want it to play games like valorant n apex n overwatch without lag and i rlly need it to handle streaming / video and photo editing. my laptop rn cant handle more than csp and discord open after that it just goes kkbbgtt..

  • Tecycdan1 Tecycdan (@Tecycdan1) reported

    @ZenoKagemaru @N7Kobold @Stylosa Dance by definition and OverWatch one we're supposed to be defenders of the team they weren't supposed to deal damage the way that they do they were supposed to protect the damage dealers. Instead they replaced the damage dealers which is a problem.

  • DrunkenSchrecke DrunkenFangschrecke 🏳️‍🌈 Octane (@DrunkenSchrecke) reported

    @ApexMirageMain I'm afraid it will go the league of legends or overwatch route the more they introduce = broken and unbalancable Also the more they introduce the less they can concentrate on those who are already there when it comes to lore

  • _BONEROT 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐒𝐇. (@_BONEROT) reported

    [ooc] dudes playing overwatch like its 2015 and think they have any room to talk about anything at all is the main issue in this entire thing in my opinion

  • b0gur bogur (@b0gur) reported

    @Sk1shot 2 issues for me are: -a lot of creatros are waiting for the ow2 beta to make new content and I dont really believe I will get access -I do not wish my entire channel and career to be based solely on overwatch

  • Robotgeek2 Robotgeek (@Robotgeek2) reported

    @jazzmusicbum_2 @scottmccampbell @UrOrientalist Standard issue is 7 mags (210) rounds. And during tactics those are gone extremely quickly. Suppressive fire during bounding overwatch, suppressive fire when peeling, covering fire, actual aimed shots, it all adds up and you can quickly go dry.

  • cowhybrid dango (@cowhybrid) reported

    i hate overwatch i say as i start up the league client. soon i will close that one and switch to valorant. then i will wonder why i have anger management issues

  • tackogamma Isaack the 3D Guy 🇵🇷 (@tackogamma) reported

    Overwatch has its problems: Yes. Blizzard is horrible. We all know this. So that’s why it feels so wrong that I enjoy this game. I don’t buy boxes. I don’t buy credits. I’ve only ever bought a used copy of the game like 5 years ago.

  • Kahlinnlol Kahlinn (@Kahlinnlol) reported

    @Lukrau2002 @IWDominateLoL I’ve played siege and at above average level, I’ve played overwatch at an above average level and neither of them had nearly as many games ruined because of people intentionally trying to lose. This is a league issue, not a team game issue.

  • ExoticNeonCo2 ❁CO2❄︎ꪀꫀꪮꪀ❁🇺🇦 (@ExoticNeonCo2) reported

    LIKE WHATS THE POINT?? Is it because pros are on pc?? Because we suck?? It wasn't much of a problem to let console people to the overwatch 1 beta, what's the problem now?

  • Crystallynah Crystal ₍⸍⸌̣ʷ̣̫⸍̣⸌₎ค (@Crystallynah) reported

    I'll be streaming Overwatch in a couple mins. I ran into some problems and a sneaky spider. I had to trap the spider and take it out.

  • JumpieStudios Jumpie Studios VA | BLM (@JumpieStudios) reported

    You know what's interesting? Overwatch removed their two least-liked maps, Paris and Horizon Lunar Colony. It's kinda funny, but honestly I think the right move. I assume they figured it would cost too much time and resources to fix the maps, since it would require a complete--

  • RealShayD Shay Springston (@RealShayD) reported

    Streaming! Fixed the issues I had with overwatch. Now you can see me go crazy nutso mode!

  • Dani82022824 Dani (@Dani82022824) reported

    @RisingBlur @ShayonBurman @Nibellion Tbh, doom and the evil within terms are talented, crash team is working on call of duty and they obviously suck when it comes to cod, overwatch team is making a lazy overwatch 1.5 Dishonoured is meh So they do have some talented studios but the majority are not

  • GregorEblan Gregor Eblan (@GregorEblan) reported

    15. Easily my co-op with Cosmo on an Overwatch article. I think it was mostly done but we just ran into editing issues.

  • _nedwardo nedwardo - COMMS OPEN - (@_nedwardo) reported

    @_dead_zero See I'd say the first problem is you're playing league but I'm here talking about Overwatch so I don't get much more ground to stand on

  • bkeasfa Wienerdog (@bkeasfa) reported

    @Kahlinnlol @Lukrau2002 @IWDominateLoL No shot you are saying overwatch didn't have this exact same issues. Tbh overwatch was even more of a coinflip based on which team actually pressed tab to sync up ults...

  • SamTheLucioFan Sammie (@SamTheLucioFan) reported

    @cybuuorg Loved every issue. But the last one did it for me in terms of getting hyped up for the Overwatch 2 story

  • LunaticMonkey23 Dellaith (@LunaticMonkey23) reported

    @OverwatchNaeri I don't complain about Overwatch much, so I've honestly never had issues with 2CP (maybe because I don't play ranked) so I will say, I'm actually gonna miss Hanamura and Temple of Anubis, some of my best games have been on TOA.
