Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • loserforjjk leeanna ? (@loserforjjk) reported

    how is overwatch 2 going to have PvE when they cant even fix the applying update glitch after like a month

  • JackAucoin12 Agenda (@JackAucoin12) reported

    I still won cause three or more of my teammates got swaps with me but Overwatch 2 is the only game where a new fresh update makes the game more buggy and broken!! how tf has ow2 already regressed in quality of play?! anyways let’s do better Overwatch and especially blizzard

  • korysverse ceo of kory (@korysverse) reported

    no support in overwatch is broken like you’re kinda just ****

  • sullidude6 sulli (@sullidude6) reported

    We'd play sometimes of course, but Overwatch was an issue in specific. We'd have a full lobby and they would join randomly and spectate, telling us what we were doing wrong and being judgmental. We told them we needed space and they stopped for a while.

  • witnessgg witness (@witnessgg) reported

    overwatch players are so lost on what is broken and not comparatively to other games over the years. cleanse is the most broken ability ive ever played against in any video game ever, right up there with 4 mana 7/7 and day 1 csgo revolver

  • professorscie5 Professor Science (@professorscie5) reported

    Mercy isn't a problem in overwatch its busted hero's that can team wipe with ults like Junkrat tire, Dva bomb and Cassidy high noon those need to be reworked

  • casualmusicnerd Casual (@casualmusicnerd) reported

    @SuperButterBuns I was there for a good few years. It took me rediscovering my obsession with Splatoon that starting Overwatch got me away from in the first place to truly take me away from OW a few years ago. Splatoon has its own issues but at least I don’t have people on VC shouting slurs.

  • MMKing_14 MMKing (@MMKing_14) reported

    @BlizzardCS what is this applying update stuff on overwatch, your website had bad information. Fix yo ****

  • TheViveros Viveros (@TheViveros) reported

    Tl;dr, the plan is: 01/13 - Tilting is a Skill Issue 01/20 - The Missing Link in Competitive Overwatch 01/27 - No video (released on 01/20 instead) Streams will still be happening as normal, and videos will resume their normal release schedule either on the 3rd or 10th.

  • aizenstan NIER AUTOMATA ANIME HYPE (@aizenstan) reported

    @OWGrandma The Push Bot is the biggest balance problem in overwatch and it will not be fun until he's fixed or out of meta. I would love rework and for him to be meta then but the fact is he exacerbates the biggest issues overwatch has right now and nothing about him is fun to play against

  • Rakuna_OW Rakuna (@Rakuna_OW) reported

    @SoChanelicious because mercy rez is a bit broken? rez on its own is already a questionable ability to have in overwatch, but the fact that it can be used from so far away, mid-air while moving and behind cover is a bit ridiculous, either remove that or make it so any damage taken cancels rez

  • doug_gunther Ragoon Gunther the Zord (@doug_gunther) reported

    @PoipoleBoi The overwatch is like the smash community but stupid over certain characters being “broken.”

  • SoftBaabaa EldenBaa 🍻🐏 (@SoftBaabaa) reported

    How to fix overwatch Ban every character that becomes meta Sooner or later there will ne nothing left to play, nothing left to complain Simple 🤯

  • Anicuyan Anicuyan (Yumi) 🦔 VT (@Anicuyan) reported

    I realized there is a slight scheduling error for tomorrow's stream. I will have to try to move my 10am stream of Overwatch to a different say/time as I have to go into work early. 🙃 So sorry for the inconvenience guys!

  • SeongHajima Jinn (Seong) (@SeongHajima) reported

    Blizzard, the Overwatch Devs, need to fix their game completely. Entirely. Matchmaking is trash, the prices for the shop is so overpriced, battlepass needs an upgrade, some mechanics and stuff like loot boxes need to come back, like there is so many things wrong with the game.

  • SeongHajima Jinn (Seong) (@SeongHajima) reported

    What the hell is all the fuss about with Overwatch and Mercy like can y'all bffr? She hardly had any changes since forever. The problem is the fact that she's "balanced" based on what hero is buffed or nerfed to make her even viable or played in comps in general. It's stupid.

  • imsoluckyigotu lisa (@imsoluckyigotu) reported

    @BlizzardCS when i try to join any game in overwatch it says “error applying update-unknown error (0). ive tried restarting my pc and all but nothing worked.

  • Revenant_Shuro Revenant_Shuro (@Revenant_Shuro) reported

    @Gaymface @PlayOverwatch I think at this rate blizz is really trying to kill overwatch. Why else would they scrap the old ow and replace it with this half assed attempt at a game. If anything id prefer if they closed the 2 servers down. Wiped everything and acted if it didnt exist. Og was better by miles

  • Cinnabum_ttv Cinnabum 🍰 (@Cinnabum_ttv) reported

    Are the server issues still happening today on Overwatch? I’m nervous to play comp lol

  • danielpoggers :) (@danielpoggers) reported

    @WarnTV there's so many bigger problems in overwatch than mercy, its weird that its mentioned so often

  • ghostefacex VizGhoste (@ghostefacex) reported

    The toxicity in the Overwatch community is ridiculous. If you live and breathe a game to where you feel the need to be intentionally cruel to others in the community? It's time for a change. Don't be apart of the problem. I just don't understand why others can't be kind.

  • Questr0n Questron (@Questr0n) reported

    @ripjawDO The biggest problem with hog is the stubbornness of the people that main him. His one-shot has to go for sure, but I really haven't experienced the feeling of genuinely considering quitting Overwatch cause of him, unlike the top 3.

  • EastyBug easty ♡ (@EastyBug) reported

    Overwatch post: But I think a lot of issues being had right now involving kiriko suzu would be having it not cleanse, but half the time of knockdowns, anti, etc. Not an immortality that can't be stopped, but a helpful tool

  • HerosDr34m ¤ Game 6ix Tay¤ (@HerosDr34m) reported

    @ejmarchini @Visionary0ne Idk what the answer is but Im also not working at a company making millions of dollars to do that job. If a skin i cant hold in my hands is $50, you'd think they could add a lil more complexity and reward to competitive. Not just Val but Overwatch and other games too.

  • kookiesfb kookiesfb (@kookiesfb) reported

    Open Queue is more fun than Role Queue in overwatch 2 and that is ******* crazy to me, fix your game blizzard

  • Revenant_Shuro Revenant_Shuro (@Revenant_Shuro) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Boop your games unplayable In plat facing EX masters? Excuse me wtf? How is that even ******* allowed? Hog remains UNCONTESTED. Sojourn is still broken. Rat. Still broken. Where is the fun? Where is overwatch 1? Utter ******* con artists

  • shooktwt shook (@shooktwt) reported

    i think the real problem with overwatch 2 is that the content creators for it aren't funny enough anymore

  • ethereal_ronin EtherealRonin (@ethereal_ronin) reported

    @ApexCryptoMain Doesn't really affect the bloodsport idea, not really that many people had problems with overwatch or probs valorant, the war has ended, this is the apex games, where many come to meet and become legends, some may like each other it's just plain simple love/friendship.

  • doggirlisms Caro 🐶🦴 (@doggirlisms) reported

    @BoneHeadYT i Wish i had something besides ow id wanna play more, mk8d is looking like a good replacement for my perpetual 24/7 overwatch addition but in general i need more hobbies or to want to draw more but i think at this rate its more of a depression problem than anything which sucks

  • Luckyjust1y armoredcorearmoredcorearmoredcorearmoredcorearmore (@Luckyjust1y) reported

    @MavriqGG It's insane how mfs will see their very specific taste only produce **** games and they don't branch out whatsoever, instead they just complain Like bro, Cod sucks and Warzone sucks now, so what i've done? Started playing Overwatch 2 and Soulsborne games, problem solved
