Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • UnifyProd Jose Hernandez (@UnifyProd) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS @Blizzard_Ent Day 2 of being banned from competitive play in overwatch 2 season 4 for a "Failed to connect to server" error.

  • RaimaNdTV RaimaNd (@RaimaNdTV) reported

    @EPIXYZ @FACEITCS @DonHaci ??? Trust factor, vacnet, anti cheats in general, mm system, mm system reworks, overwatch. They always advertise it as flawless systems but in the end these systems all have huge issues. One example: Valve stated we see wqy less spinbotter in ow. Since then 95+% are spinbotter.

  • mochicast d100 | mochi (@mochicast) reported

    I might have an overwatch problem... my opponents aren't good enough

  • emph1lia a🪷 (@emph1lia) reported

    @Jzuschy @nrgniggas all the tanks suck like the game genuinely gives me anger problems i never scream at my monitor unless i play overwatch

  • Graslu00 Graslu00 (@Graslu00) reported

    @Born2beSlicker I don't like Overwatch. Hero shooters with ultimate abilities is like the polar opposite of my taste. There's sadly no alternative to CoD when it comes to mindless fun / playing around on your own. Everything else I already played to death or can't play due to similar issues.

  • TheViveros Viveros (@TheViveros) reported

    @Kagetheorc It's strange because Blizzard hasn't really had an issue with this before with Overwatch heroes and weird control mapping, at least not to this extent. Usually the button mapping feels pretty intuitive even if they're challenging, but Lifeweaver's controls are all over the place.

  • mikusclub cate (@mikusclub) reported

    what’s with overwatch teams switching characters after we start doing well like … we won and then u switched and we got steamrolled there’s a problem here

  • HW_Prince95 Prince👑🦌 (@HW_Prince95) reported

    Overwatch fix your ******* Competitive match making, I shouldn’t be seeing diamonds play with golds every single game. It’s infuriating when I get silver ******* support when I’m tryna push masters or even GM and I get a silver mercy who just installed the game cause it was free.

  • gibbyxgwen gweeb (@gibbyxgwen) reported

    Overwatch rank system is so broken. I’m a DPS main and have been tryin out support lately- placed bronze 5 in both even with 5 wins 1 loss….I NEVER play tank, tried ranked tank for shits n gigs and got…SILVER 1????? Make it make sense

  • sorrowYLK sorrow (@sorrowYLK) reported

    16 gig 3060ti, 32 Gigs of ram and it fails at ****** overwatch. I cant xD Will there ever be an update without gamebreaking issues?

  • jaykayanigame Jay 👑☠️ (@jaykayanigame) reported

    I was feeling very doom and gloom about getting hit with the end of Overwatch 2 season 3 decay bug, but hearing that they are in fact going to fix it and give people the rewards actually cheers me up

  • OGMuncheeez Hackz (@OGMuncheeez) reported

    @LilDrkncs I was too on overwatch 1. But this new **** is clearly broken

  • d3thd33lr D3TH D33LR (@d3thd33lr) reported

    Hero shooters are garbo. You’ll never see me wasting my time on money grabs like siege, overwatch, valorant. It’s not a skill issue, it’s a waste of time, money issue and inherently broken gameplay designed to sell more micros. Games like CS are true champions

  • ow_snowy Snowy (@ow_snowy) reported

    I'm so glad I'm finding more and more games I enjoy outside of overwatch. Blizz constantly claiming to fix things but actually ******* them up more is just embarassing at this point.

  • Zummygg Zummy | Asian Islander PNG STREAMER (@Zummygg) reported

    @rekuOW @OWCavalry The original post said overwatch fix its rank with our mmr. So how am I playing in high gold and plat in role q but still in silver.. but when I go to open q with my friend I get plat and diamond mmr but my friend in gold. I get it some y’all overwatch players don’t red but jeez

  • Conztey ‏ّ (@Conztey) reported

    @RealDeagle999 People use it for like overwatch and xim will probs fix it soon

  • DawnLaurier Dawn Laurier (@DawnLaurier) reported

    @LunethD Yep, and using a UI addon means the first login for a patch is very often not a "woohoo!" moment, but a "mother of ****, I didn't update the addon that fixes this damn Overwatch UI." It's not the feeling devs want to reinforce!

  • Zayahx11 zayah | STREAM #RedRubyDaSleaze | (@Zayahx11) reported

    Im so ******* tired of overwatch being broken

  • KahbaShawarma melniki (@KahbaShawarma) reported

    Imagine ur Internet crash in the last 10 sec of an overwatch ranked game, u will get banned for the whole season. Overwatch by far the worst game I ever touched it's crazy @PlayOverwatch

  • Bkid56 Bkid13 (@Bkid56) reported

    I really have a habit of having trouble sticking to one game. I'm diamond in League and Overwatch, and I've done decently for myself in Smash. Competing must be my drug

  • lightcream12 karma (๑¯∀¯๑)(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) (@lightcream12) reported

    @khzzbzzt the only games i could *try* to play was osu and overwatch but even then.. the lag and the pain of downloading..

  • ElekeAd Elekea ඞ (@ElekeAd) reported

    @alphaINTEL Bruh overwatch announced they are going to fix a character people were having issues with ONE DAY after he came out. I'm sorry but I ain't waiting 2 years for a pathfinder passive lol

  • King_Crescendo Theyedore Roosevelt (@King_Crescendo) reported

    Why am I so hardstuck in Overwatch now?? I never had this problem before😭

  • AXLXTXOX AltoFozx (@AXLXTXOX) reported

    @judgmentnut_end @GenePark 30 is unplayable, 60 is pretty bad. tbh next gen shouldb be pushing for 120, overwatch did it and so did fortnite i don’t see the problem

  • marriottpanic captain bree/jinx ! 🍇🐷🎗🌌 (@marriottpanic) reported

    @BlizzardCS could I have some help real quick? Been trying to add emotes and sprays onto my hero wheels on overwatch but for some reason it’s not working and not allowing me to add anything and saying it’s not bound when it is?

  • icyscute icy (@icyscute) reported

    @AskPlayStation i am continuously being kicked out of online games in fortnite my game just freezes & in overwatch it kicks me out after lagging i have reset my wifi twice & i restarted my ps4 once could you assist me with this issue

  • seanthegamer46_ Sean (@seanthegamer46_) reported

    I love how I rank up in overwatch just to have the match making put me with idiots and players who abuse the most broken and unbalanced hero’s in the game. @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent fix your game
