Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MoonsNSFWCorner Moon's NSFW Corner- (@MoonsNSFWCorner) reported

    When it comes to Overwatch, especially the heroes about buffs and nerfs, who's broken and who's not, it gets increasingly annoying. 🙄

  • TheGldDragon The Gold Dragon you don't know but kinda like. (@TheGldDragon) reported

    @Postsemreh The internet and the need to be 'first to publish' has kept the normal ability for spell check and most types of overwatch on spelling and grammar errors.

  • hotdogdemon winston (@hotdogdemon) reported

    overwatch 2 releasing would solve all of my issues

  • MrPoopyFarts Nanu (@MrPoopyFarts) reported

    @AquamarineOW @OWAnonymous_ I don't think you really grasp what the smurfing problem is. there are tons and tons of smurfs in the lower ranks (like bronze-gold). People like myself, who wanna play some competitive overwatch but also meme at the same time and still do okay.

  • morneault_jacob Jacob Morno (@morneault_jacob) reported

    @nate10ia_ Overwatch bad. Game not fix

  • Ein_Turkey Ian Terry (@Ein_Turkey) reported

    @BlizzardCS Week 1 lunar new year skin. I really tried hard to get on overwatch over the week.But because of work and other issues I couldn't. I have been supporting overwatch continuously on 3 platforms since it's release. I just want the baptiste skin. Pls. 😢

  • Tu_Es_Lindo_Mas Tomás Neves (@Tu_Es_Lindo_Mas) reported

    @mtimbs83 @Jusey1z @therealcliffyb Yh the problem is the lack of hardware on switch. Paladins devs drop every update at least 40 bug fixes, they also listen to their community A LOT,they do what we ask for, they fix what we want, they give almost everything for free.What did overwatch in the last year? 2champions?

  • HyuugaBB AoC Hyu (@HyuugaBB) reported

    @therealcliffyb Paladins not even a question. I enjoyed Law Breakers but the tech issues made it hard to play, never got to try Battleborn and Overwatch isnt too fun in my opinion :D

  • SemiObsessed Cailey | ケイリー (@SemiObsessed) reported

    I wanna draw but I also want to watch my dumb home improvement shows but I also want to play overwatch do you see my problem ????

  • nate10ia_ Boostio (@nate10ia_) reported

    FIX OVERWATCH COMPETITIVE YOU STUPID COMPANY BLIZZARD!!! I GET ALL GOLD AND LOSE SR BC THIS GAME IS STUPID

  • RissanaPlays Rissana 🍉 ENVTuber (@RissanaPlays) reported

    by the way is anyone having trouble streaming overwatch these days since maybe a week ago? ever since one of their updates the game goes crazy and lags on stream even though i have a good pc

  • Jellzybelle ☆ 𝙹𝙴𝙻𝙻𝚉𝚈 ☆ (@Jellzybelle) reported

    So to deal with this teeth grinding issue I have, I either need to deafen when playing Overwatch with friends... Or uninstall the game. Yesterday was really bad for it sooo I unno.

  • Jusey1z Salju (@Jusey1z) reported

    @mtimbs83 @therealcliffyb They do fix bugs, and they do support the product... Also, Overwatch is deserving of nothing. It's a poorly designed game that had negatively impacted the game industry and it's popularity has harmed many great games that are now dead, like Gigantic.

  • woofgrrtaehyung 🍞 bread cheekies 🍞 (@woofgrrtaehyung) reported

    i forget about my problems and overall future by playing overwatch

  • 400Freeze Freeze 400 (@400Freeze) reported

    @gish_ow @blazing_xo WHATS HE DOING RIGHT NOW?! His biggest problem is willingly wanting to play Overwatch

  • BradicalPrime Bradical Prime (@BradicalPrime) reported

    @Sailorpalutena @COGUMAZUERO I also play a lot of Overwatch on the switch and I’ve never had any connection issues

  • Ein_Turkey Ian Terry (@Ein_Turkey) reported

    Week 1 lunar new year skin. I really tried hard to get on overwatch over the week.But because of work and other issues I couldn't. I have been supporting overwatch continuously on 3 platforms since it's release. I just want the baptiste skin. Pls. @Blizzard_Ent

  • TtvVaati Vaati Kaplan (@TtvVaati) reported

    @Soembie Yeah I agree, for a while I thought I just wanted overwatch 2 already, but then I realized that I was ok with waiting for OW2, but I really just wanted them to fix the live game. Makes me sad to think of another year without any significant overwatch content

  • charles57445495 charles.ball (@charles57445495) reported

    @BernardGray4 @thinkdefence I noticed that too- overwatch is with dismounted Javelin - RWS may be fitted with a Javelin option but range is an issue. GBS role has been allocated to Ajax - not too sure what long range sensor suite has been selected - but again most likely dismounted-

  • arkulite OW_Arkulite (@arkulite) reported

    My #BlizzConline wishlist: Durring an overwatch panel, I want the screen to glitch and a sombra skull will show up, then sombra will appear and do 1 of two things: 1) release OW2 2) if the f2p rumors are true, she "leaks" the code and releases the game for free

  • ExiledMythos ExiledMythos (@ExiledMythos) reported

    @KazD6_37 @TitanfallBlog He's trying to force agency onto the devs to try and get them to fix it asap. An Overwatch player would discover and help Blizzard stop cheaters and block cheat engines, and basically used sharing the aimbot/cheating info as a way to force the devs to listen and react.

  • Storyti81408328 Signor (@Storyti81408328) reported

    So there's a glitch in overwatch that when you die you for some reason fall right through the map go ahead đįē

  • influx256 Infamous (@influx256) reported

    @HonkyKong18 whoa come on man it dont hurt to try something new, plus the hero shooter genre is downgrading, gigantic failed, battleborn failed, overwatch failed, i can see paladins failing in the future if they dont fix **** but gameplay wise its alright.

  • AzeraW84 AzeraPlays ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 (@AzeraW84) reported

    I am going to stream at some point tonight. I forgot to DL the game (Minecraft). I forgot what my login info was. I forgot what email it was. I am wasn't added to the server. Now I am trying to get in. If this doesn't work... I am playing Overwatch instead.

  • rillaow grnt :) (@rillaow) reported

    There is no way anyone ******* plays overwatch, it’s all bots. They make a dumbass play and get rewarded, half the ******* characters are broken as hell. Even when I win it’s not fun, what a ******* joke of a few team who don’t even have the ***** to nerf anything.

  • DestrixGunnarYT Destrix Gunnar (@DestrixGunnarYT) reported

    Anyone else having issues with #overwatch servers just straight not working for ranked games? It's stupidly annoying.

    OVERWATCH FIX YOUR DAMN SEVERS

  • Revalation77 ™♢MarindaLawson♢™ (@Revalation77) reported

    Overwatch why are you soo broken?

  • SuperOkazaki Super Okazaki (@SuperOkazaki) reported

    @godofwahhhhhh @Akfamilyhome It's not a problem in online games with competent net code. Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? Imagine games like Fortnite and Overwatch lagging out constantly and their fix is "well just don't play with people with bad wifi lol"
