Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Myrverion Himboverion the dilf hoarder (@Myrverion) reported

    @Portergauge This is the most Riot Games kind of nerf that if you told me that Overwatch was balanced by League developers I would believe you. Nerfing everything BUT the problem of hero in hopes that those nerfs will even out the overpowered parts of kit is such a weird approach.

  • RiseFrog545 RiseFrog545 (@RiseFrog545) reported

    @Gabe0038 The real problem is playing Overwatch in 2023

  • 5ofaki sofaki, Ph.D (@5ofaki) reported

    tomorrow oit is coming to fix my ethernet, new season of overwatch, and hu tao rerun 😌

  • SirDivers Oo≡V≡oO (@SirDivers) reported

    @ArtisanLoaf One day, my bro & wife see said neighbour. The guy says, "Listen, any of these folks from China cause any problem for your wife, you just let me know." Dude was seriously ready to maintain armed overwatch from his superior position on the hill, LOL.

  • PIzBuffMercy Please Buff Mercy (@PIzBuffMercy) reported

    Overwatch 2 Season 3 Mercy nerfs: I'd rather they just delete Mercy than doing these nerfs. I'd rather have no character to avoid playing OW2 rather than salvage some broken kit character. Mercy's kit revolves around mobility so nerfing her movement cripples everything about her.

  • TheFenixDown Fenix (@TheFenixDown) reported

    The Overwatch team has been acknowledging their is a Support problem for such a long time, and their only answer is to continue to nerf the role? I’ll be back for PvE.

  • MOTHERMAXYNE 𝓜𝒂𝒅 𝓜𝒂𝒙𝒙𝒊𝒆 .ᐟ (@MOTHERMAXYNE) reported

    i’m so sick of mercy being the fallback character to blame for all of the problems in overwatch

  • Its_A_Bluebird Blue (@Its_A_Bluebird) reported

    wtaf is up with overwatch completely ruining supports now like brig is ******* unplayable and has been for the last four months if not longer and now they've OBLITERATED everything about mercy.......EXCEPT for what the actual issues with her were!!!!!!!!!

  • Masakiss1 Masakiss (@Masakiss1) reported

    It has been 3 seasons since the dev team started saying they would rework on some heroes. So far we have seen no hero reworks but only minor number changes. Sniper and One-Shot issues remain. Support is still a prey for Tank and DPS. #Overwatch #Overwatch2

  • CaseyAether Casey Aether ♦️ (@CaseyAether) reported

    @DroneKittenGirl @CH4R10T_TV Fully disagree about tank mirrors, Rein mirrors are literally my favourite matchup in Overwatch. Sojourn mirrors are bad because she's been too OP for too long, the mirror itself is fun to play. Kiriko is a problem because suzu. Mirrors aren't inherently bad, stagnation is bad 1/

  • KarasuYeen Karasu | PNGtuber (@KarasuYeen) reported

    Overwatch patch notes dropped. Mostly good. Bad things are: Sombra buffs don't change anything, she's still a throw pick. Sigma didn't need nerfed. No Sojourn/ Kiriko nerf which is tragic. Mercy being nerfed is a W but they nerfed everything except the core issue (damage boost).

  • AightWhiteBoi Niko (@AightWhiteBoi) reported

    @CanYouPetTheDog Bobby kotick makes more money from $60 spent on overwatch than rowling makes from $60 spent on HL, you just dont care because his issues arent as publicly facing.

  • vmpicklebean ✨️whats up, choom?✨️ (@vmpicklebean) reported

    only thing im gonna say on the mercy nerfs is that the overwatch devs will see what players say is an issue, look at the solution, and then ignore it and change the things that make a character fun/useful

  • meowshaped lili ⋆。°✩ (@meowshaped) reported

    sojourn and orisa terrorizing every rank of overwatch but mercy being one of the worst supports rn is a problem 🥴 i fear blizzard took a nose dive w no recovery

  • GERESantos4 GERE Santos (@GERESantos4) reported

    @Tony_Huynh Today the game simply does not want to enter, it loads and does not connect, I played overwatch 2 and nothing MultiVersus connects, the server is experiencing problems

  • calioops calioops (@calioops) reported

    @CanYouPetTheDog WHAT!? Overwatch directly supports/ed people who perpetuated the problems that lead to the horrible Blizzard actions. They STILL do. So you're ok with shunning HL devs work, who had nothing to do with JK's beliefs?? Just say you goofed, what ********?

  • KinoMystbleidd Kino (@KinoMystbleidd) reported

    @AccursedVenom @Ask_Spectrum I'm having the same issue, 100% packet loss. Can join Xbox parties, can't connect to games like Overwatch and Apex

  • thetalkingsnake Punk_Rasta Streams (@thetalkingsnake) reported

    @TheSleepyAna @nekitoototo That's just overwatch in a nutshell. Complain about a skill issue until it gets nerfed

  • azalea_ow ⋆ 𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘴𝘦 ⋆ (@azalea_ow) reported

    never been so disappointed with the overwatch team. the whole community as well as mercy players were completely ok with having a rework put on rez and damage boost. we all agreed they were the problem. they enabled a broken hero. but the fact they change everything BUT those…

  • Kytahl 🌺🌺Keppy🌺🌺 (@Kytahl) reported

    In all the ******* overwatch problems, they decide to nerf mercy. Really.

  • BlyZeraz Bly Zeraz (@BlyZeraz) reported

    @CanYouPetTheDog Both are bad. That's the take. They both are bad cases to support. You don't gotta try justifying nothing. Just say you realized you don't wanna support the trashy Wizard game. There is no reason to bring up overwatch unless its to say you learned the issue there too.

  • ItsAMeMariox 〽️ A R I O (@ItsAMeMariox) reported

    Fix your damn game @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent Overwatch 2 keeps crashing smh

  • PreviousStorm35 Sean (@PreviousStorm35) reported

    @AskPlayStation are the servers down me and my friend are trying to play genshin impact and Overwatch 2 and keeps giving us error ws-44360-7

  • GunbladerPlays Gunblader (@GunbladerPlays) reported

    Tech error, Switching to Overwatch. DAMN YOU TECH!

  • KatoGrey Kato Grey 🍁⛓ Demon of Tranquility (@KatoGrey) reported

    I've hardened my soul to play some MMORPG games (FF XIV) and single player titles on stream, but I keep coming back to the fact I am utterly ADDICTED to multiplayer only titles. League... SMITE... Overwatch 2... Apex.... I HAVE A PROBLEM

  • Zsarion Z (@Zsarion) reported

    @CptBenzie @GamesMightBeArt @TheActMan_YT Did they lose any profit during that time though? They have live service games. Hogwarts is a one time purchase. Stuff like overwatch incentivises repeat purchases. The same energy should still be on Blizzard games since their profit model relies on continuous play.

  • henIokity eli ˃ᴗ˂ (@henIokity) reported

    playing overwatch and any other game more than dbd recently because they never listen to their community and the game is broken af

  • lukester9626 Luke white (@lukester9626) reported

    Problem with overwatch 2 going free to play is the noobs. Us veterans are struggling for decent teammates😐😐

  • su11yboy Sully (@su11yboy) reported

    @divalusts DBD players are delusional, but Overwatch players are a special kinda stupid when they still find ppl to blame, despite their K/D blatantly showing they're the problem, and just dog ****.
