Overwatch 2 Devs Accidentally Lock Earned Heroes And Fend Off Another DDOS Attack

Blizzard can't seem to catch a break as the problems keep coming in Overwatch 2 following the hero shooter’s official launch last week. Blizzard has barely begun to address the myriad of launch issues plaguing the game when they inadvertently locked out players from using all of their earned heroes.

The issue started when Blizzard pulled Bastion and Torbjorn from the roster to work on their ability bugs. Unfortunately, this resulted in all previously earned heroes being locked from use, prompting the dev team to take the game offline for roughly an hour to fix the issue.

The game was also hit by another DDOS attack which wasn’t as extreme as the launch attacks but still caused problems which lasted for about an hour.
