Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Ijilios Cliff (@Ijilios) reported

    @paIebIoods yea overwatch always gets me but dbd always makes it even worse for me. again it is never because of the people i play with it is always just the nature of the game mixed just my own mindset. and as much as i try to fix it I think a break is just better for me now

  • punished_rose Punished Rose (@punished_rose) reported

    well i tried playing overwatch again and it still sucks lol. no faith Overwatch 1.1 will fix anything of note. People just don't play as a team and it's hard to fix that.

  • SH4NMU shanmu 🎒 (@SH4NMU) reported

    @heyGuhRL @Falloutt @PlayApex This will cause the game to go down the Overwatch route. If you know, you know, and if you don’t, do your research. You very much don’t want legends that can compete be added. Power creep would kill the game. Please respectfully never suggest this again. Fix the problem (gibby).

  • AbsyntheBitters 🔞Absynthe Bitters (@AbsyntheBitters) reported

    @TatariuTV what is it with Live Service games i play that they always end up copying overwatch's menu U.I.

  • ryujin3838 Ryujin3838 (@ryujin3838) reported

    While I’m giving my rage/hot takes about Overwatch, another problem I’ve faced now that I’m on PC: I can’t DPS for ****. I feel like I can’t use any well, especially easy ones like Tracer or even Soldier. Bunch of the cool ones have a high skill gap, rest aren’t viable a lot :/

  • BayouBoiGaming Bayou Boi Gaming (@BayouBoiGaming) reported

    @pcgamer Blizzard: “man people really seem to be making fun of overwatch 2 for being nothing but a full price remaster. What can we do to fix this?” Blizzard: “I HAVE AN IDEA!”

  • appleciderwitch cleric hypebeast (@appleciderwitch) reported

    I think Blizzard introducing overly strong characters to break metas lead us to "double shield" (which was also bad but not for the reasons people always think) but I think 5v5 didn't fix it, it just made a game more people who love shooters like vs. Overwatch

  • LliamSwick Lliam Swick (@LliamSwick) reported

    @PlusMin03340269 @OWAnonymous_ At the end of the day the problem isn’t the amount of new content we’ve received it’s how ignorant and entitled people treat this as OW2 full release rather than WIP v.1. The overwatch team is trying to work forwards more regular content and open communication which is a big step

  • wrstrout Richard Strout (@wrstrout) reported

    I love playing #Overwatch2 even though I think it is exposing even more of my flaws. There are less places to hide and less people to help cover up my errors….and I make a lot of errors! It makes me want to get better though! @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch

  • Sdeleon159 SDeleon159 (@Sdeleon159) reported

    I feel like playing support in OW 2 right now is really difficult. I feel like I am always dying. On the other hand though I like it because its forcing the team to actually protect us. That was a huge problem when I played Overwatch.

  • TheeFantomas El infame Sergacabra (@TheeFantomas) reported

    Finally played some rounds of the Overwatch 2 beta. Its literally the same game...with all the same flaws and issues lol

  • MatMvB Mat Vidya 🎮 (@MatMvB) reported

    @Kotaku The problem with Overwatch in a nutshell.

  • Ijilios Cliff (@Ijilios) reported

    like i love messing around in overwatch or dbd with friends but man it just makes me feel worse whenever i play these games. it got nothing to do with the people i play it with it's just a me problem i got with the game. think i just need to take a break in all honesty

  • chvrchesy ✯ Cas ✯ (@chvrchesy) reported

    @SamitoFPS @Stylosa No, the question has always been “will people come back” because if they don’t, it means Overwatch’s problem was never the content.

  • IcemanGames93 David Martinez (@IcemanGames93) reported

    @Seren1tynow "Our first Open Division events of the year will be hosted on the current Overwatch live service." Not even on the OW2 PvP beta...

  • ImmortalDino Immortal Dino 🥵PERSONA VIBES🥵 (@ImmortalDino) reported

    @BlizzardCS Is there something going on with Overwatch right now on PlayStation? Me and my friend are trying to log in after a few days ago, but we keep getting a “Error, can’t log you in”

  • alibakes Ali B 🕹✨ (@alibakes) reported

    BTW this flyer is from 3 years ago when I didn't get to celebrate 😳 so let's fix that and replace Overwatch with something ✨extra fancy✨ 🌈 🌸

  • jaedaemon1 Jae Daemon (@jaedaemon1) reported

    @bruces The problem with Metaverse is the aesthetics. It’s not PUBG-ish, or Overwatch-ish. There’s hardly any glint of “Coolness” to it. It’s not Neal Stephenson’s “Metaverse”.

  • GoyalBhuvan . (@GoyalBhuvan) reported

    @OW_ICED Open /r/Overwatch and see what the top posts have been in the casual community past 2 weeks. Casuals simply can't mentally handle things not being polished, things being broken or missing. Day 2 there was a Top upvoted thread complaining about Golden Guns looking different.*Sigh*

  • SweeSwoo9000 David Lopez (@SweeSwoo9000) reported

    @HeyPeterG @FluxRBLX @JonDoyleDesign And what games are you trying to play, because everyone here having that problem seemed to be trying to play Online only titles like overwatch

  • Crimson__Vega Brad (@Crimson__Vega) reported

    The most obnoxious thing with any team game like Overwatch or something is when you have that one teammate that just ******* about everything. Shut ******** and play. You are the problem

  • Xaffire Xaffire009™ (@Xaffire) reported

    @_Netherlight_ @BlizzardCSEU_EN Yessss this but issue for me on @overwatch being tossed into loosing ending matches and gets counted as a loss in my record before i even get out of the spawn zone.

  • PajamaPajamaPa2 Nate'sPajamas (@PajamaPajamaPa2) reported

    @arturio818 @ser20011 @OverwatchNaeri That doesn't make it any less of a glitch lol. If you want what mobility "Features" in Overwatch look like you can look at any mobile hero. And no, it's accoladed as hard because it's the only thing you can screw up. You can't screw up Valk or pocketing.

  • smol_jackie Jackie ~ ✦Tanuki Ringmaster✦ (@smol_jackie) reported

    Can't fix problem with Apex so imma just play some overwatch instead, sadge. Apex next time!

  • buggythebitch Byg Buggy G (@buggythebitch) reported

    @Lazerjay713 @OverwatchEU that's most likely a sony problem not an overwatch problem.

  • noughtwrought Wrought (@noughtwrought) reported

    Honestly it's really funny that overwatch has such a problem with dps players not being able to get into role queue matches but when they buffed tanks and made it so you can only have one per team instead of making 3 DPS positions they just made it 5v5 so neither can queue in lol

  • SamLeBestial Sam サム (@SamLeBestial) reported

    @ThePhoenixGalxy @shinra_TwT @ValorLeaks I never played overwatch but think about agents like Phoenix who are barely played Nerfing the good ones won't be solving this issue

  • demonblade541 Rakuen Knight ENVTuber (aka Alan Ocon) (@demonblade541) reported

    Blizzard needs to fix their voice chats... I was on overwatch 1 and one game the chat work the next game i can't talk to anyone then the next it is fine again. It looks like no one joined i am on open mic and it doesn't show me on the top so it doesn't work

  • lolaluv____ lola (@lolaluv____) reported

    @Avast_o you're working in customer service now i thought you were the rupert murdoch of overwatch

  • TheOrcosaurus 🦾 CybOrk Model No. 69🦾 (@TheOrcosaurus) reported

    @mythoughtsRbad That's the issue. If you don't want the single player mode you don't have to pay for Overwatch 2 afaik and Blizzard does a piss poor job at explaining that.
