Apparently, this bug was old, and i’m thinking that you only get it under very specific circumstances.
Sometimes, when you hit a directional key, it can remain as “pressed” even though you’re not pressing it, therefore moving you into that direction unless you counterstrafe by pressing the opposite key, in which case you stay in place. This gets fixed by touching that key again, but that moment when you’re trying to figure out which key is the one giving problems can give you a huge disadvantage on a teamfight.
In case you’re wondering, i have:
-Windows 10
-An a12 9800
-R7 integrated graphics
-8mb of ram
-A Scorpion k215 keyboard.
Let me know if you want to know what motherboard i have, because i don’t remember which model it is now.

i have this problem too, and it’s only recently. i have tried restarting all my usb ports, used the repair tool in the blizzard app, and its definitely not a hardware or internet/connection issue since i can play any other game just fine.

exact same problem here using a razer ornata chroma
I thought it was rubber banding internet at first but it was the bug
Having the same problem. Started happening for me with this latest patch, during Halloween event and before I wasn’t experiencing it at all. Mine is not fixing itself when I press the movement keys again, I actually keep moving backwards and to the right, and then get stuck in random places until someone kills me because I can’t move on my own. Please fix, it makes playing extremely frustrating.

This is happening with me too.
But I took it a step further and formatted my computer. Reinstalled Windows. Clean install of Blizzard App and OverWatch… Problem happened again. This is first time it’s happened to me, and only started since the most recent patch.

Having the same issue here. Saw a forum thread discussing this same topic, and it had suggested uninstalling the Logitech G Hub app. That did nothing. I use a Logitech G810 keyboard, and my keys don’t stick in any other game.
This helped me - Don`t know if it helps but this is what I wrote on the EU forum:
I have uninstalled both keyboard and mouse software - and changed usb. Drivers up to date, computer up to date and Scan/Repair OW - It did NOT help me at all. I have had this issue before maybe a year back and now it seems like it started to all of us who has this problem at the same time. After one of the updates….
…this is written 3 hours later:
I think its has something to do with the " Enable high precision mouse input" update because I turned it on and haven’t had the problem since. I don’t want to have it on tho…
Played a couple of games and enabled/unabled the setting and as soon as it was enabled the glitch disapeard😏

It’s been happening on my wife’s account. I haven’t played on mine yet since she started having problems. We even unplugged the keyboard and tried having her play with the xbox one controller. Still had her running backwards.
Just wanna say I also have this issue, I am playing on a Logitech G pro keyboard.
Having the Same issue. Started over the last two weeks.
The WADEQ keys that have me go forward, side to side, launch Q to drop the bomb with D.VA and rapid fire with E – do NOT work well in Overwatch. After the last patch, the keys don’t register as well to move me in Overwatch like they used to. This is a first for me. I’ve uninstalled Steam, don’t have Discord, uninstalled and reinstalled Overwatch, and it still doesn’t work! That’s so frustrating that something has happened to a game that I enjoy playing and no idea how to fix it! It’s not my computer because the keys work just fine in WoW and I can type in a Word doc without it spazzing out like in OW. Get it fixed!! What the heck did you guys do in the last update? Everything was fine before that!
You might want to create a new post for this because it doesn’t sound like the same issue that started this thread.
I’m having the same issue. PC, seems to have started a couple weeks ago after Halloween some time. A few friends have also noticed it and it happens often enough that it heavily impacts gameplay.
