Blizzard has upset its fans with how they're handling connection issues in Overwatch 2. Find out more about Blizzard's approach to the problem and how the fans felt about it.
Blizzard Infuriate Fans Over Ban Response
Overwatch 2 Not Fixing Unwarranted Bans
Fans are infuriated about the latest Overwatch season's widespread matchmaking and suspension difficulties. Many players have complained of frequent disconnects during competitive matches, which has led to unintentional season-long bans from the game.
The problem has been noted, and Blizzard says their development team is looking into it right now. They have added that unjustified bans cannot be reversed by the company's customer support, thus players who have been suspended must wait for them to end. The suspensions range from 15 minutes to 8 hours, and they can last the entire season.
In the meantime, Blizzard recommends that players enter training mode before queuing for any game mode as a possible solution to the problem.
Matchmaking troubles have been a major concern for the players despite the addition of new features such as the new hero, Lifeweaver, a whole new 4v4 PVP mode, and exclusive cosmetic prizes in Season 4.
Fans Not Impressed With Band-Aid Solution
The widespread matchmaking and suspension issues in Overwatch's latest season have caused a lot of frustration among players. Many fans have expressed disappointment in Blizzard's response to the problem, stating that the company has not done enough to fix it.
Some players have even decided not to play this season to avoid the ban problem, while others are playing less frequently to avoid getting banned for the whole season.
Many fans have called for competitive play to be disabled until the issue is fixed, but this would not be a fun solution for those who enjoy playing competitively.
