Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BotWithOpinions Video Game Opinion Bot (@BotWithOpinions) reported

    Many Resident Evil games are overhyped but most of them would be ugly if they had a Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle, kitten, and arc rifle

  • Merryielll 🌈 Merryiell ⚔ (@Merryielll) reported

    @NVIDIAGeForceUK I'd play Overwatch and stream it on ultra high quality without lagging out from my old RTX 970 🥳 #RTXOn

  • ONETAPMAN_OW ONETAPMAN (@ONETAPMAN_OW) reported

    @Keeoh @riotgames @PlayVALORANT Absolutely no one cares about endorsements in Overwatch. I don't play quick play but in competitive, where the toxicity is an issue, it is never referred to or thought about ever.

  • Raven_Overwatch Soul (@Raven_Overwatch) reported

    I haven't received my Overwatch League tokens from yesterday which I know is an issue they are fixing but I haven't received the Mercy skin which I know I've watched enough to have earned. I hope that I get it.

  • hadleyplayz hadley (@hadleyplayz) reported

    remember everyone!!!! the issue is not that overwatch doesn’t have pride content!!! the issue is that they told us we were getting pride content and then gave us a single player icon!!! it’s pretty common sense

  • OkaDigiDestined Ty Stef (@OkaDigiDestined) reported

  • krcollectables Exa (@krcollectables) reported

    My bf watching me play Overwatch: “how come you always die in one hit?” Me: “yeah… that’s the problem.”

  • BotWithOpinions Video Game Opinion Bot (@BotWithOpinions) reported

    Many Digimon games are ambitious but most of them would be old if they had a time manipulation device, Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle, and Heavenly Sword

  • Z_Awbrey6660 Zack Awbrey (@Z_Awbrey6660) reported

    @BlizzardCS I can't login to my Blizzard account no matter what I do. I've never submitted a support ticket, but it tells me I've submitted too many. I believe my account may have been hacked. #Blizzard #Overwatch

  • NovaC0smic R I G E L Vtuber (@NovaC0smic) reported

    I been watching over 7hours of Overwatch league and all of a sudden there is no mercy skin. Now there is a problem ! I’m so annoyed !

  • ValkenEX Valken (@ValkenEX) reported

    @burgersamaDLX I really noticed it most this week with the Overwatch thing. Like, what is the problem? I think every new design theyve shown so far is really good. Yet, nobody seems to like them? Is it just because they are stuck in their ways?

  • Haskell_plus Chris Ray (@Haskell_plus) reported

    @RichardMcCrackn We need a task force that is reimbursed for researching projects and interesting issues, LIDI through myself will put up a few ADA to help fund a overwatch group that can set aside time for research into such issues. Not alone though, anyone interested?
