DDoS Attack on Battle.Net

Players trying to get into Overwatch 2 after the maintenance on October 10, 2022, found themselves queuing up to get into Battle.net. According to Blizzard's tweet, this was caused by a DDoS attack on their servers, resulting in high latency and disconnection issues for some players.

This is similar to what happened during launch day, where Overwatch 2 servers were under DDoS attacks, preventing players from logging into the game.

About an hour after the DDoS attack, Blizzard posted a tweet stating that the attack was finished and players should be able to log in. Players who are still unable to log in should try restarting their network router or closing other applications.
