Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ChowderGumball #BLM | TazoGumballChowder (@ChowderGumball) reported

    @LordPringles @CaptainVXX I heard they did it with Overwatch but wow I didn’t know that happened with SWSH too. I know the games have had content problems like the Natdex thing but what what happened that caused the refunds?

  • Beany0W Beany (@Beany0W) reported

    @LordToty @LeeDevonald ... and they are removing it from OW2, however not giving us the option to not play it without leaving the game in OW1. In comp, it is forced upon people. Which brings us to another large gameplay issue: Competitive Overwatch. Comp is the most played gamemode in the game itself.

  • Angel_Ouriel ☎️🔪|| Ouriel ||🔪☎️ (@Angel_Ouriel) reported

    Time to play overwatch n have my computer crash literally as soon as i finish playing

  • FinchStrife Chandler Wood (@FinchStrife) reported

    @markdelaneysays @GenePark Backwards compatibility***, next-gen upgrades... all of those kinds of things are just about optics for the most part. (I put asterisks on backwards compatibility for a number of reasons, one being live-service/MP games like Warzone and Overwatch, etc. and a few other reasons)

  • CmedThe CMed (The Universe of CMed) (@CmedThe) reported

    @FFStv I do have a couple of recommendations for alternate Overwatch. I wonder if a return to Minecraft is possible (assuming that there isn't issues like there was in the past)? Can Overcooked be played with you guys and the turbos? Borderlands with turbos?

  • reading_timmy Timmy Reading (@reading_timmy) reported

    For the last week I've been having issues with the Overwatch servers. Anyone else? It plays fine for a couple of games and next thing you know my ping is at 2500 I'm getting disconnected. Anyone else?

  • Senk02 Sencrowe (@Senk02) reported

    Man Overwatch has really gone downhill. Gotta wait over 10 minutes for a match that won't even last half of that. Role Queue was amazing for ranked gameplay but not for QUICK PLAY I hope this won't be a issue in the sequel but I'm losing hope

  • Naito_Shade Naito-kun (@Naito_Shade) reported

    While you are at is stop changing trivial things in games and change your workplace instead. McCree is always going to be known as McCree regardless of what you name him. It's pointless to change it. It does not fix the root of the issue. #Overwatch

  • Maximus60_ Max (@Maximus60_) reported

    Valorant is **** cause the games and fights are way too ******* long, Apex is **** because Seer is ******* broken and if you're not snorting gfuel up your *** crack and you just get lasered with the new ******* lstar Overwatch has been **** I NEED SOMETHING TO ******* PLAY YO

  • FloweryVolcano Kalyssa they/them (@FloweryVolcano) reported

    It’s not getting a team kill as Hanzo (using my ult) to not get POTG but instead get POTG as Hanzo with a 3K (with his ult) Overwatch is broken. 💀

  • Fallncelestial Aaron J Alford (@Fallncelestial) reported

    A C9 is by definition an unforced error, so the Overwatch League commentator's insistence on calling every time an enemy gets pushed off the payload a "C9" is infuriating and silly.

  • JLeazuis JLeazuis (@JLeazuis) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent #Overwatch season 30 is broken, I disconnected because of wifi issues, then I rejoined and finished there match, and im still suspended for 8 hours? @ATVI_AB Why work so hard to keep banning players from ranked, but not work hard to figure our who is sleazy at work?

  • DamonMcquestion drugs 🧪🛸 (@DamonMcquestion) reported

    @BlizzardCS why is game chat not working in overwatch in xbox one

  • sortaokayish joo-dee (@sortaokayish) reported

    overwatch is already broken so why not let mercy spawn with her ult at 50%

  • Neo_Cinnamon Alex/Holly 🏳️‍⚧️ (@Neo_Cinnamon) reported

    @Flamingarrow72 @64Brkr @OWAnonymous_ That's the strat a lot of people do, it's smart. But one issue with it... I don't have friends, well I do but not really any cool overwatch ones. And I kind of dropped overwatch all together :/

  • pomeshrimpy shrimpy (@pomeshrimpy) reported

    how is sploon not working on my switch but overwatch is lmao what

  • hakubeenie 🌸 storm 🌸 (@hakubeenie) reported

    i wish i had a platform to play overwatch on i used to play it on my brothers xbox but its broken and i miss it sm

  • amelia_altare AmeliaAltare (@amelia_altare) reported

    @MineCreeperLPs @TheOPBlair I don't know a single ow fan who's excited for the pve stuff. I think it looks neat, but it doesn't appeal to the same demographic. And more characters makes the game less stagnant. Overwatch gets boring without new heroes being introduced. Paladins doesn't have that issue.

  • KasumiUnknown Kasumi (@KasumiUnknown) reported

    U guys are ****** in making a good game, I suggest looking at other companies that are successful tbh and not making overwatch 2 any time till u get your head straightened out, fix the game and stop being braindead devs, u are lucky OWL is still alive.

  • ajaxxlandge Ajax Landge (@ajaxxlandge) reported

    @buru_chab_ Idk most games don’t have a huge problem w this? Fortnite and overwatch are great examples of how clipping issues can be made less noticeable while still having cool designs: honkai too

  • Beany0W Beany (@Beany0W) reported

    @LeeDevonald @dogspinster I don't think that the issues you are addressing are the problem in Overwatch. This discussion is not about other games. I am merely pointing out that - in Overwatch - no one listens. And it really is that simple.

  • ImaJGF ImaJonnyGoodFellow (@ImaJGF) reported

    @PlayOverwatch please please get rid of bastion from overwatch 2! He’s the most broken champion of any game I’ve ever played! Every game I play he is getting play of the game just constantly draining opposing champions health! Sort it!

  • knightviridity viridity knight (@knightviridity) reported

    @zoronotpiccolo @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent fr #blizzard could easily fix a lot of it by actually permanently banning or even investigating reported players, blacklisting terms in custom game titles, or having bots that check custom game chats for certain terms and conversations and then look through logs #overwatch

  • stap1est1an m (@stap1est1an) reported

    Overwatch need to fix the lag in the game. I lagged out so much I got banned from competitive for the whole seaso. @PlayOverwatch fix this.

  • oxtonbot lena (@oxtonbot) reported

    re-boarding the Game Overwatch problems!

  • sisterlelianas caro 🎷🐛 (@sisterlelianas) reported

    @bellatrxlstrnge 😭😭😭 please it really annoys me. idk how it works w overwatch but for this game, before you die die you get downed and can be revived - most players that DONT leave the team IMMEDIATELY disconnect once they get downed and then we have to fight dozens of teams by ourselves ✋😞

  • thexboxlucio thexboxlucio 🐸 (@thexboxlucio) reported

    Is anyone else having issues connecting to the Overwatch Servers?

  • TheDoubleDan TheDoubleDan (@TheDoubleDan) reported

    I'm almost done for good with Apex. The matchmaking is so broken its impossible to get any enjoyment out of solo queue. Overwatch's matchmaker is better for ***** sake.

  • Hutch_ow Hutch (@Hutch_ow) reported

    @ManweAinur bro you called me a narcist and a sociopath for saying you fed in a game of overwatch. again if you got a problem with me just dont look at my ****

  • GtzigM Swiss Angel 🔞 (@GtzigM) reported

    Idk what it is that happened but for some reason its the3rd time today during a Ow session in which i was called "a fuking egirl". I never had problems with other players until the last few weeks. Did i miss sth? or why is overwatch so hostile atm xD
