Huh, is it happening only with friends not alone? Are you all from same region?
Asking since i once had weird problem with OW2, it was not as serious, but i had problems with chat and voice chat, needed to change language options in battlenet (not game settings, just an app) to be able to communicate with people in group… that got fixed at some point but maybe there is still some really weird thing in the battlenet that mess with playing in groups?
i can play with my friends the thing is that the game screws me over by doing all the things above,
maps not loading, invisible characters, invisible hanzo (this one is a weird one he was the only bastard that was invisible), missing ping icons
there was that one time that a D.va was invisible for an entire game and i didnt know about it, the invisible hanzo was crazier since i couldnt see his abilities meaning i cant even see the dragon
