Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • LachlanScott L a c h l a n (@LachlanScott) reported

    @shinobody It’s a pretty constant issue I have with e sports. Especially for games I don’t understand. I can’t watch league or dota games at all because there’s just too much going on. Even Overwatch is hard to keep up with sometimes and I know that one pretty well.

  • Stryxus Stryxus (@Stryxus) reported

    Overwatch: I VALUE DOOMFIST ABOVE EVERYTHING, HE ISNT BROKEN. *previous game against him* *I tell other team to prepare for doomfist* *He tries using my 'mercy player' to be toxic* *He picks genji and doesn't do anything most of the game* *I get POTG as Zenyatta*

  • RavenGarth_ Garth Cast (@RavenGarth_) reported

    Problem with Overwatch is that it never joined the F2P genre. Overwatch 2 wouldn't be as big as Overwatch on release. Probably a dead franchise in a few years just next to Diablo

  • sabretooth_27 SABRETOOTH (@sabretooth_27) reported

    @StealthIsHere how not to fix your life in all of what is could be: play overwatch

  • k36_kolton Kolton-k36 (@k36_kolton) reported

    @flowerjeeyoung @TaIIIaa This is really stupid Korean overwatch players have written their names in English for years nobody ever had a problem with it but as soon as it goes the other way it’s cringe

  • Ember56038521 Ember (@Ember56038521) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Hey, Blizzard. I've been around since the first Diablo. LOVE the games. I just wanted to bring up a problem I've had for the past week. When I open loot boxes on Overwatch the screen is just the background. I can't really see anything else other than if they're skins, sprays, etc

  • Stalast Duncan (@Stalast) reported

    If you have a real, genuine personal issue with someone based on the hero they are playing in Overwatch, it's time for you to go outside.

  • PineMidnight Midnight Pine (@PineMidnight) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Hey there, for the past two days overwatch has kicked me out of games and then blizzards application has gone down completely, but other users have no issues what so ever, what is happening?

  • andryunderscore Andry (@andryunderscore) reported

    @GetSpectrum your internet is absolute garbage! Two days of outage after outage!!! How am I supposed to play overwatch with my friends >:(

  • lilreexe Lilreexe (@lilreexe) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent can you fix Overwatch and make it less laggy all the ******* time thanks

  • DyllonKG DyllonKG (@DyllonKG) reported

    @DOWSEYtv I feel like the largest issue for MMR is that there just isn't a large enough playerbase for it to function *** it should Overwatch and Warzone can have sbmm because their populations are much much larger and high tier play is more common

  • YourLuckyNum7 Your Lucky Number 7 (@YourLuckyNum7) reported

    "just mute chat lol" that doesn't fix the fact that the majority of the playerbase is toxic. i literally had less toxicity in all of my overwatch games combined than i did for a handful of league games

  • firelakeco 🔥 DREAMZ 🔥 (@firelakeco) reported

    A game where TEAM performance dictates your "competitive" rating - if someone is playing badly but REFUSES to change it up - you have every right to criticize them... but not in the nursery of Overwatch. Fix the system! Reward players for individual performance as well!

  • JetpaxTeaches Jetpax (@JetpaxTeaches) reported

    Me: Why am I lagging on Overwatch? Also me: Lurkin on 4 streams

  • melkechi mel 🔫🌺 (@melkechi) reported

    I guess it’s just like a match of overwatch comp just blame all your problems on someone else

  • Nas_1240 Ñ Ā Ş (@Nas_1240) reported

    @KIRINKAGE_ First game: Crash Twinsanity Last game: Overwatch Best game: Red Dead Redemption 2 Worst game: Fallout 76 🤢🤢

    @OverwatchEU Hi Overwatch, I want to ask if there any option to pick servers in Overwatch instead of automatically connecting us to the closest server. I am having problems with que times in the MiddleEast it takes approximately 50~ min for a single master game. Thank you

  • DoooGote Gote (@DoooGote) reported

  • SugarcubeKaffee Sugarcube (@SugarcubeKaffee) reported

    @somsnosa_ @linusgsebastian Have you heard about Anime? Overwatch, literally anything. as long as it doesnt hurt anyone where is the problem? Adults get horny over things they like its just how it is.

  • Miacoda Mia 🦖 (@Miacoda) reported

    I just think it would be cool if WoW could get the Overwatch 2 treatment one day but I’m not sure how realistic of an idea that is or if it would even fix anything. Either way, it’s an interesting conversation to have, I think!

  • Rebellion2k17 Rebellion2k17 (Koala) (@Rebellion2k17) reported

    @its_jessiebee Yep! All 6 of those accounts are going to be de-ranked to 500 SR and then sold as smurf accounts 🙃 Overwatch has no issues whatsoever.

  • casual_streamer Casual Streamer (@casual_streamer) reported

    What happened to Hong Kong?, wasn’t there some issue going on... I remember overwatch and the nba doing something

  • biggestsonicfan SaltyFreeman (@biggestsonicfan) reported

    Looks like upgrading Wine did not fix my issue. Got another Overwatch crash.

  • ToeJamzz ToeJamzz (@ToeJamzz) reported

    @Goddess_R6 I'm getting port network issues way more often then usual now. Lagging in the middle of reinforcing, battles, etc. Doesn't happen in Overwatch, Apex Legends, Risk of Rain, or any other game I can think of right now.

  • GarebearMotions Garebear 👨🏿‍🚀 (@GarebearMotions) reported

    @JulesBjorn People are starting to realize Overwatch is broken and is beyond salvation

    @RedexBB I've been openly gay/bi for as long as I've been playing overwatch and I've had zero issues with people idk about being a woman. what I've learned is that not many people with intially have a problem with you unless you give them a reason to
