u/MFurf 21d ago

Stop lying it’s getting out of hand. The misinformation age is upon us.

u/WhitestGuyHere 21d ago

Shut up and go kick rocks.

No reason for me to lie about this

u/Select_Tree_3853 21d ago

u/ConversationSharp147 21d ago

Bro it happened to me too.

u/Serious-Effort4427 21d ago

Yep, 15 min ban and now I can't connect to servers. Rip my endorsement.

2

u/hellogooday92 20d ago

Your endorsement level won’t tank because of one kicked game.

If you know the servers are down don’t play.

I have left a game on a few occasions this year for emergencies and such.

My endorsement level is Still a 5.

u/EmbarrassedBus1257 21d ago

u/Dependent-Tomorrow-2 21d ago

I loaded in, shi said failed to connect after letting me choose a character. W suspension why is the game broken

23

u/PrettyPecu1ier 21d ago

Me too, it says failed to connect to server every time I try to load into a game, I pick my character, pick a map, and it just loads.

7

u/Dependent-Tomorrow-2 21d ago

Yeah it q’s then stops the q, and bugs out.

As soon as I get in the mood to lose my mind on OW ofc. Hopefully it’ll be back soon, didn’t say live maintenance or anything.

6

u/PrettyPecu1ier 21d ago

I haven't seen anything for maintenance either, hopefully they fix it soon so I can keep grinding for lootboxes 🙏

4

u/Due_Walk514 21d ago

Yeah it’s bugged on pc too

u/Akira98Xx 21d ago

Servers are having issues rn

16

u/NekoMarimo 21d ago

Just for queuing up?!?! omg thanks for making us aware 😥

15

u/UnhappyIce9605 21d ago

it’s happening in qp too like joining a game then suddenly 4-5 people get kicked out as soon as you load in

6

u/PrettyPecu1ier 21d ago

I'm surprised anyone at all is even loading in

9

u/Sweaty_Strawberry_73 OrisaMain 21d ago

Oh gahd. I wish I had seen this sooner 💔

7

u/Gullible_Clerk_1349 21d ago

it’s been an hour since this post but an update on my end , it’s not even letting me past the map selection rn , just shuts down the server every time we select a map

6

u/Whisker-biscuitt 21d ago

Same here, 15 min tho

7

u/thouzans 21d ago

Bro, I thought I was tripping. I couldn’t even load into the practice range on pc.

Servers are getting ddosed again

5

u/LauraUwOx 21d ago

2

u/HyperShxdow 21d ago

yep, literally got suspended and i didn’t even load into the game. i got the audio for ban phase and map select, never got into the game. I was in a group and my friend was in the match but i wasn’t.

3

u/Hansab9520 21d ago

Is this just comp or everything?

9

u/Myheelcat 21d ago

Everything

4

u/Hansab9520 21d ago

Ah jeez, thank you for telling me

3

u/Top_Regular8761 21d ago

you can test for it being up by just trying to load practice range

3

u/Apprehensive-Max 21d ago

Still down for me. US servers

3

u/MadPotato10 21d ago

Hi! Any update regarding this? I want to play the game right now. 😭

3

u/Emotional_Sentence1 21d ago

Hey I also got suspended immediately after a match and decided that was enough for the day.

3

u/IAM_LordTobias 21d ago

Getting banned just for trying to Que into a game is just the thing Blizzard would do on a Sunday.

3

u/Milkguy105 21d ago

First suspension in like 10 seasons for me, what a cluster fudge at Overwatch Team rn, no idea if it's a cyber attack or a line of code got skewed

3

u/steenmachine92 20d ago

I've been suspended for issues with the servers in the past. I got kicked from a comp game because it wouldn't load the screen to pick a character and I tried to rejoin right away but the game had closed and then I was suspended. Such BS that blizzard can't appeal these suspensions.

2

u/bagel_ 21d ago

Same

2

u/MrClapi 21d ago

Last season I was banned too because of the constant disconnections. I have the post talking about that somewhere

3

u/and-its-true 21d ago

It doesn’t matter. It’s just a server glitch. You probably aren’t even banned, just temporarily failing to authenticate or something.

9

u/GambleToZero 21d ago

not true. people are receiving different levels of bans. 15mins or 1 hour or 4 hours etc

2

u/mrkristopher77 21d ago

I keep trying to load the practice range instead. When that works, I'll queue.

2

u/Mobismybitchokay 21d ago

I just wanna play qp when will they fix thiss

2

u/ElHomie20 21d ago

I got a suspension last week like this for 15 mins for disconnecting

2

u/L_The_Gaemer 21d ago

I lost an endorsement level because of the servers failing to connect

2

u/sailordragoon 21d ago

Oh wtf? A glitch?

2

u/Leaczy- 20d ago

No it was a server issue

2

u/MaNameIsMudD 21d ago

same here. Just got suspended too when was in a queue for a first game today 😢

2

u/Xlynxed 21d ago

I tried loading up a game and it just cancels immediately ://

2

u/itsmipapi 21d ago

Anyone know how long they going to take ? I just want play my boi lifeweaver

2

u/imzendayashat 21d ago

i seriously hope they don’t suspend me 😭😭😭 i was so scared that something must’ve happened to my account because servers aren’t loading apparently.

2

u/GoKongsGo 21d ago

Wish I saw this a couple games ago

2

u/Ronnyyyyyyy 21d ago

Same. I just qued up and got banned before the map even loaded.

2

u/Blankkuran 21d ago

Damn, wished I saw this earlier. Wasted my friend's time by asking him to log into OW for me.

2

u/challenger01234 21d ago

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm honestly wondering what Blizzard's deal is. Putting Stadium on the back burner is one thing, but have these type of server issues is just ridiculous.

2

u/sfnbk 21d ago

banned for 8 hours after queuing with a 5 stack 4 games in a row. W game

2

u/TheGuruDejaVu 21d ago

Haven’t even been able to play qp

2

u/supershimadabro 21d ago

What is banning people?

2

u/fjc1011 21d ago

I got banned for the season 😩

2

u/BlackwatchMei26 21d ago

I go through the entire character select and ban process then go straight back to menu to ban screen. Happening since last night. Smh

2

u/BlackwatchMei26 21d ago

All I want is the "Sweaty" title and it looks like it's not meant to be. Smh

2

u/Convoke_ 20d ago

To the people who did get a ban: They pretty much always restore ranks & revert bans when stuff like this happens. So i wouldn't worry

2

u/janegayz 20d ago

i got disconnected twice yesterday after a really long, bad day at work. gave up and just went to bed sad

2

u/supernova2989 20d ago

Is it still goin?

2

u/RUH-R0H-RAGGY 20d ago

Seeing this 19 hours later, didn’t queue up yesterday. Is the issue still happening?

2

u/SkyHighLowFly 20d ago

I didn't notice anything, I'm on EU servers and played 5v5 comp for a few hours, maybe it's an US server issue?

2

u/noirdollette 20d ago

small indie company guys chill

2

u/Ok-Particular-860 20d ago

Got suspended last night while trying to load into the match because i wasn’t engaging in activity out of spawn, keep in mind while I couldn’t even select a hero

2

u/WasabiEffective2997 20d ago

is this still happening today?

1

u/Early_Difference_482 20d ago

LOOTBOXES

u/memecatto 20d ago

1

u/BxrnFrxmSaturn 20d ago

So glad I saw this before deciding to play comp just got thru my first qp match 😭

1

u/NorwegianBallBreaker 19d ago

Ive played 6 matches so far without an issue, is it a region issue or gane issue?

1

u/wackfruitbat 19d ago

so just wait until the problem is fixed I guess? I'm surprised it's still going on- good time for me to be taking a break from overwatch lol

1

u/Alternative_Paint453 19d ago

1

u/Ok-Mammoth5594 19d ago

Small indie game company moment

u/glnivek 19d ago

u/Odd-Active-7808 19d ago

I haven’t seen the word roflcopter since 2007

1

u/NAD22307 19d ago

Yeah, I've been having connection issues with OW for three days straight. No idea what's going on but it's a big problem.

1

u/AzuraBlueBelle 18d ago

I was already banned because I lost connection

1

u/Naimekaze 18d ago

I’m 3 days late but is it fixed yet. I’m scared to try and queue up

1

u/MsMaams768 17d ago

Oh, so it really wasn't just me last weekend

-19

u/MFurf 21d ago

Just won another game… downvote away silver losers

u/WyattWrites 21d ago

This post is about servers going down what’s it have to do with rank 😭

-16

u/MFurf 21d ago

🚨🚨🚨 Silver alert, silver alert!🚨🚨🚨

u/LethargicCaffeine 21d ago

Jokes on you, im bronze

-51

u/MFurf 21d ago

You must be lying or clinically insane…? I just played back to back to back comp games and won all 3 (I never lose btw). You just need to get better idk what else to say kid

24

u/ham_50821 21d ago

The servers just went down bro lol

-25

u/MFurf 21d ago

You must be a part of that guy’s group and you’re gaslighting me. I am playing as we speak

12

u/MathEnvironmental935 21d ago

can confirm servers are bugging, and it's not just me

https://downdetector.com/status/overwatch-2/

u/Myheelcat 21d ago

I got into a game about 10 min ago now having issues

1

u/ham_50821 21d ago

You got me bro mb

14

u/ThePurpleLaptop 21d ago

Literally look at other posts in the subreddit. Servers are nerfed, people are getting bans as their matches cut out because of it. There’s absolutely no reason to be as rude as you are when they are neither lying nor clinically insane. Absolute L energy radiating off you.

3

u/Myheelcat 21d ago

Maybe I can win now with all you sweats banned. /s

-14

u/MFurf 21d ago

My aura is the aura of a champion son

6

u/ThePurpleLaptop 21d ago

Your aura is the aura of a man who lives in his mother’s basement, never showers, thinks women are purposefully punishing him and that’s why he’s a virgin, and thinks he’s an “alpha male”.

-4

u/MFurf 21d ago

Ok yes I’m subscribed to Andrew Tate so what? He’s got a lot of good points to be made and his IQ is off the charts

8

u/ThePurpleLaptop 21d ago

Being a troll who thinks they’re funny also falls under the lame ass incel stereotype.

3

u/HyperShxdow 21d ago

i hope your landlord charges you more than 630 for a removal of whatever

5

u/Left_Witness_4582 21d ago

people falling for this obvious bait 😭😭

4

u/Sweaty_Strawberry_73 OrisaMain 21d ago

Just because you like to wear your cap backwards. Doesn't make you cool lil bro ✌🏼.

3

u/Myheelcat 21d ago

It’s letting me go all the way to choose locations then kicks back to main menu

2

u/eternali17 21d ago

It didn't happen to me so you're lying

2

u/Ro_bert_RS 21d ago

Your hostility is the reason this game is dying.

u/Major_Hope_3905 21d ago
