The game just disconnected me from my competitive game

[Daredevil-22953]

Same here! i hope we dont get suspended for this

[ǾĿDŜĈĤǑǪĿ-1500]

Same… “Unexpected Server Error”. Fortunately, I was in QP.

[HunterKiller-11812]

Lately people left and right have been disconnecting at the start of comp matches. On the third time it happened in a row I got kicked out. Now I can’t connect.

I was just changing my player icon and yup happened to me too.

[Plagg-21107]

Same thing happened to me. It disconnected me then tried to reconnect me then couldnt. I tried to just log in and aparently the servers down but my boyfriends and mum are playing just fine.

Hang on everyone, I am checking with Blizzard Tech Support right now. I do believe there is a mass issue in progress.

Please avoid Competitive Play for now. Penalties cannot be reversed. Details here:

Overwatch Technical Issues, SR Loss, and Leaver Penalties

Hey everybody, I wanted to take some time today to discuss Leaver Penalties and how they relate to Technical issues. We understand that leaver penalties are an annoying thing to experience. Technical issues can be complicated to troubleshoot. To add penalties to your account can seem like adding insult to injury. This isn’t our intent. The competitive penalty system may not be perfect, but there is reason behind it. When we created the leaver penalty system, we took in a lot of player feedbac…

Thanks!

Same, we were just seconds from an Epic win too… game was on overtime, just did a 3 person hammer down, killed 2 people and was busy whacking soldier in the face when I got d/ced.

[TwilightRose-1821]

I’m kinda glad it isn’t just me. I was in comp when it happened too : P

[Hayden-22430]

It started with 6 people leaving before my game crashed, then it disconnected me as well.

[Skullypop-1908]

I also got d/ced. Won’t let me log back in either.

[HunterKiller-11812]

I skipped work just to have a day of playing OW. And now this…

[ProfessorSad-1140]

Was on bonus wave 3 on junkenstein endless expert when I got dc’d fml

Glad to know its a server error and not a connection error on my end.

[Loverwatch-1904]

Ugh, I FEEL YOU! ;_;

[NachoCarryTV-1111]

THIS IS BS. 100SR LOSS because the servers went down. Struggling to climb up and now im like 5-6 game behind? About ready to delete the game and move on. We were DESTROYING in a comp game. Won the first round like nothing, just to all get kicked and lose SO MUCH. Games gunna go downhill fast if they dont at least try to make things better.

[Kaedi-11739]

Blizzard is now investigating and working to resolve the issue as fast as possible:

Blizzard CS - The Americas

Hang on everyone!

[DrewScroll-1656]

From what I understand, is this because of the release of Black Ops? If so, it is still complete bullsh*t that we have to suffer because of a glitch in their servers, they should repay us somehow for our unexpected crashes and wasted time.

[EtreSerBe-1312]

I feel you, exact same thing happened, 3 guys left immediatly, then I disconnected :C

[EtreSerBe-1312]

I hope it’s resolving the issue and REPAIRING THE DAMAGE DONE :'c

What if it was the server’s fault?

Often we hear mentions of one off issues when we discuss penalties. “What happens if the servers crash or if Blizzard’s ISP has a problem?” or something of that nature. This does happen from time to time, but it’s pretty rare. The system is built to take that sort of thing into account, and periodic issues like this shouldn’t tank your skill rating too much. This is why the first few penalties are lenient compared to later ones. Over time even the Skill Rating drops will even out as you keep playing normal matches. As long as you aren’t intentionally leaving or having tech issues, this shouldn’t affect your account too much.
