Heroes locked/No hero challenges

The forums haven’t helped me, and it seems no one else is having my problem.

my hero challenge screen is empty, I can’t unlock new heroes, and this all happened after the account merge. I never played Overwatch, I only had a blizzard account. Now, every hero I had unlocked is locked again, and my stats for games/time played aren’t updating, in fact they seem to have gone down.

To fix this I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, logging in and out, restarting my Xbox, and simply playing the game more in hopes that it would fix itself.

Any communication would be appreciated, as this bug seems to not be reported on in the forums, and I can’t seem to find a way to fix it. (I even changed servers)

Same here for several days now.

The hero challenges were available right after starting the game the first time and I could unlock several heroes by completing the challenges. After merging my Xbox and PC account, all the challenges disappeared and already unlocked heroes were locked again.

I reported this issue number of times. I did everything you mentioned. No luck. NO word from Blizzard part. I feel my/our reports fully ignored. Screw us, i guess (yea im a bit pissed off, how not to).

I thought if I played enough it would push me through the FTUE, but I’ve played three days straight with no fix. My career profile page says I’ve only played 33 games? What a laugh. I submitted a support ticket along with this post, I’ll update if any news becomes available to me

Same hopefully the update today fixes it

I have the same problem when I combined my account the missions of the heroes disappeared so I can no longer unlock any no matter how much I play

Several days ago, another bug report was opened. See here:

same here bro, I log in today and I went to play a game and I didn’t see most of my heros, and I don’t have the challenges tho

PS: My account is from OW1

I had a preexisting Battle.net account, and had overwatch downloaded, but never played it. I mostly played WoW. Has anyone had luck with the live maintenance? Or are we still just boned for now?

No, not at all. We are still boned!

I logged in to check up on things this morning, and what message is on the Home Screen? “We are aware of a problem causing heroes to be locked, we are actively working on this”. Supposedly Bastion and Torb being taken out caused more people to experience this issue? Either way, hopefully we will see positive movement on the front soon, stay strong!

I have the same problem

Same problem here, combination of missing hero challenges and match history not registering correctly. Played at least twenty matches between Sunday and Monday but only eight have counted after my successful account merge on Monday. My hero challenges are also gone as well.

welcome to the club, no fox for it and blizzard don’t care.

I have the same bug on my account too. The same situation - they were unlocked yesterday as I had OW1 and then when the merge completed it locked all previously unlocked Heroes and the Hero Challenges page is completely blank.

Yeah still no reply. I legit have to play on my wife’s account to even play some heroes, this is big lame.

I also can’t see my hero challenges, it happened right after I merged accounts. Would love to play other heroes. Please fix this, blizzard. Loving the game other than this problem.

Edit: I can’t see the challenges and they’re also not progressing.

have been experiencing this problem for 5 days now, Blizzard has no clue what they are doing
