Server Ping Latency Issues

Servers are massively messed up. Either you get a good one with no issues and everyone else has issues. Or you get a terrible one and everyone is glitching all over the map, so allies or yourself are dead before you can even see damage was taken at all.

Im on ps5 and I can say that the current lag is making the game unplayable. Hopefully they fix this in next couple of hours.

Ummm… this has been going on for weeks with many threads… but maybe enough people will come back with the new update and complain enough that they will do something

It makes playing projectile heroes unplayable. I too have consistent 160 latency with major input delay.

Where did the netstats on top of the screen go, are you kidding me? :india:

My ping is also out of control since the update.

It is literally unplayable, idk why Blizzard isn’t acknowledging it. They claimed to have fixed it, but it’s 100% a lie. 1 in 10 shots register, enemies teleport around constantly, sink into the floors, fly away, etc. Meanwhile, I have 144 FPS, 950mb/s download and 100mb/s upload, zero packet loss on my end, 8 ping on my end, and EVERY other game I own runs completely fine. There is no excuse for the to have released this many cosmetics but not even properly stress-test their servers and lie and claim the issues were resolved on the Battle.net launcher home page.

Game has been 100% an unplayable, extremely laggy mess all day. Heroes jumping all over the screen nonstop. Who needs test servers, amirite???

This issue has been ongoing for me for a few weeks. Really hard to continue trying to play the video game when everyone is teleporting around my screen. Just gonna give up for now and wait.

I legit have tried everything, I’ve reset my router, made sure my wired connection was stable (it was), I even connected to the port specifically designed to give me the most secure connection. Which finally got me down to 70-90s ms latency but even then I still get heroes flying around my screen and suddenly lagging the hell out for no reason

It doesn’t help that half of the threads talking about it are getting closed

Blizzard PLEASE fix ts gng it’s actually unplayable.

Yup. 4 posts I replied to have been deleted by a moderator. They weren’t even toxic, just people asking to fix the issues or asking how to resolve the ping problems. They are actively suppressing the complaints to try and keep the hype going for the new season.

It isn’t you, it’s Blizzard servers. There is literally nothing you can do on your end to fix the lag. the most you can do is use a VPN to connect to functioning servers.

Its been exactly the same way for me on PS5. I submitted a ticket to hoping it might do something, but I just got generic solutions for PC, which I did not even submit the ticket for :upside_down_face:

Literally just want to play without people clipping through the ground and teleporting around the map.

Yeah same, id rather they say we don’t care about the ps or pc servers and I’d be fine with that than being ignored or silenced

On PS5, latency is holding steady at 260+ (normally sitting at 30). Game is unplayable at the moment…

Yup my boy and I are lagging hard since update. Connection is fast. My other friend isn’t lagging. So 2 out of 3 of us are. It happens 20 seconds into the game.

Yup, played on PS5 and everyone jumping all over the place. It’s so horrible. I couldn’t even enjoy the new heroes.
