Same here, 2 of my friends are in QP though.

Edit: I got in. Chose American servers, but PING says I’m connected to EU

Blizzard hates EU. We are officially their least cared about region :stuck_out_tongue:

Same issue here in Italy… guess I’m not playing tonight :face_exhaling:

How do I change region? I’m guessing it’s in the battle.net app

It’s the globe icon next to the game version, above Play

Thanks man. I’m logged in

Same here, I can get on the other servers but not the Europe one.

Worked at 9pm (uk) ish but has since stopped working for no reason. Also had issues even launching overwatch after it decided nope.
