We're steadily making progress on server issues and stability, as well as working through a second DDoS attack. We're all hands on deck and will continue to work throughout the night. Thank you for your patience - we'll share more info as it becomes available.

Congratulations Overwatch 2 DDOS'ers. You've fought the elite of Blizzard by making sure they sleep tonight while normal working class people go through the night trying to mitigate your attack. Real class work. I really hope they go after these people legally. https://twitter.co…
