"Game is Running" but doesn't launch

Ever since the Storm Rising update, I have not been able to play Overwatch, I click play and the battle.net launcher says “Game is Running” however the game never launches.

So far I have:
Cleared Cache
Uninstalled/Reinstalled
Scan & Repaired
Re-Installed Drivers
Even been through a process with tech support and still nothing.
