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.
