Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

• Moosky (@MooskyPlays) reported a minute ago

  @NulliusPersona @TjHArtwork @GameSpot You're missing the point and it's clear neither have read the post at all. The issue isn't with being lazy, it's the fact the core component of Overwatch is having multiple characters and each fitting certain situations 1/2

• Spoonie Luv (@SpoonieLuv_OW) reported 3 minutes ago

  This is a blatantly illegitimate use of the word "competitive". They're allowing players to rig matches and give the victims of the rigged matches no realistic recourse to keep it from occurring. I hope #Overwatch2 is better than #Overwatch on this issue, bc this is truly insane.

• Mark (@PixelBlast) reported 3 minutes ago

  @imAVRL That's not the only issue though. Part of the fun of Overwatch for non competitive players I think is trying new heroes to learn how they work. Imagine being in a game, seeing a new character but realising "Oh I've still got to play X more hours before I can even unlock it"

• Antony Reese (@Th3_Projekt) reported 8 minutes ago

  I wish the Overwatch community would understand that new heroes being locked behind the battle pass is the fault of the Corpos at the top, and not the developers. Other f2p live service games thrive on this model (or at the very least, locking a hero behind playtime) #Overwatch2

• Vintij (@VintijVO) reported 11 minutes ago

  And to be clear, I don’t think most #Overwatch players have a problem with a #Battlepass. Cosmetics, skins, etc., are fine to have in the BP, especially with certain countries making Lootboxes illegal. Just don’t put heroes in the BP. Very simple solution. #saveoverwatch

  @xbbspam i think 🫵🏼 are the real problem leave minecraft out of this. overwatch is so true tho

• Caaethil (@Caaethil) reported 18 minutes ago

  @ChrisHolicuEggy @chrissyxchi They've said that they'll be on the free pass, and that you will be able to get them *somehow* after a season ends. The lack of clarity is really the biggest problem. It's probably going to be a pain, and that causes big problems for a game like Overwatch.

• Pepper🌶🦊 (@IRoguePepper) reported 18 minutes ago

  So you need a post paid phone number for overwatch 2 but gives me an error even though i have a post paid? What does this mean

• Bajamie (@Bajamie_) reported 23 minutes ago

  of course content creators and OWL talent think there is no problem with Blizzard making heroes part of the battle pass they live and die by overwatch it's just a business expense to them they have no problem shoving blizzards **** up their *** as long as they get OW2

• EMGG SkyeTheNeko (@SkyeTheNeko) reported 25 minutes ago

  @GyrotheGoat @imAVRL To be honest the Overwatch community thinks it knows best when it comes to the game's design and balancing over the devs fact is JQ technically is a beta hero and in game design easy to nerf than buff. If JQ same at launch then yikes Blizz will need to fix it asap

• #1 Blizzard Critic Official ➐ (@unk_chunk) reported 27 minutes ago

  @OWAnonymous_ If you can’t understand why having the meta pick locked behind progression then you don’t understand a single thing about overwatch. You probably just started playing last year cause this was an issue years ago and Jeff said they would never lock heroes behind pay walls

• Riki Spiral (@Riki_Spiral) reported 31 minutes ago

  @ArtworkLoco When a game releases like that and stays consistent like that, then yeah it makes sense whether we like it or not. The problem is Overwatch 2 is attempting to pull this after Overwatch 1 has released the Heroes immediately Day 1 since its launch. No one is going to accept this.

• Nova💜 (@Nova2127u) reported 31 minutes ago

  @ProfessorAmbr0s @aicotwit That's pretty much the problem, Overwatch's PVP experience is pretty horrible, especially by yourself with no communication and the toxic community. Plus we already paid for the game, why the hell are we so complacent with getting half of the content we paid for.

• Dan mckie (@Danmckie2002) reported 33 minutes ago

  @OW_SVB The problem is the toxic level if you one trick in overwatch. If you love a hero it dont mean you should always play them same as one trick its bad cause it creates toxicity, and for example if im a mercy main and its taken who do i pick who im good at, there ain’t one so I throw

• Alex Jude Scott (@AlexJudeScott) reported 34 minutes ago

  I hate the gam3r mentality of calling devs clueless etc, and I'll defend a broken game as dev is hard. But boy does being an Overwatch fan make that hard. Putting hero unlocks behind the battle pass just knee caps you until you grind; that game IS team comp, even at low ranks.
