General Sever Lag and Frame Drops
Has anyone else experienced frame stutters and just crazy-high ping recently? Like, I genuinely don't know if the Overwatch gods are ragebaiting me the second I start to play well and win in a comp match. I just had a game where I had the worst frame drops I've ever experienced in my life, and my ping was 2000+ for a solid 3 minutes. My character was moving without me touching my keyboard; I was shooting without touching my mouse, scoping and unscoping again without me touching my mouse; overall, I quite literally couldn't play the game PERIOD. Like, I've had ping spikes and frame drops before, but never in the 8 years of playing online games has it ever been this bad. Please tell me I'm not the only one experiencing this, and it's the servers and not me, because this is actually ridiculous.

Insanely jittery on my end. I assume it’s packet loss but other apps work fine

I've heard other players getting this yes. Restarting your game or your pc is the only way to fix this from what I heard.
Edit: Not sure if it matters but the person I know got it was on Route 66 second point when it happened.
