Overwatch 2’s<\/em> ping problem has reached new peaks, with players apparently getting sent from one continent to another this week.<\/p>
These region-flung players have called for Blizzard to finally take action as the ping crisis begins to plague matches in multiple regions, according to a May 15 Reddit post<\/a>. The community believes it all stems from Blizzard shutting down Overwatch <\/em>servers.<\/p>
South African gamers joined the chat<\/a> to offer their condolences, with many revealing these same ping issues are a frequent occurrence<\/a> across multiple titles in the region.<\/p>
However, this is a relatively new experience for Australian gamers. As it turns out, there\u2019s been speculation circulating about Blizzard cutting servers for weeks. This has caused groups of Aussie gamers<\/a> to band together in hopes of fixing the issue.<\/p>
The plan involves reporting the ping<\/a> problem to Australian organizations like the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) or even to the Blizzard forums. The reason why this is such a big issue is because of Australia\u2019s large land mass. Several communities live all around the coastal areas, with some cities roughly 2,500 miles apart. This already increases the variety of ping, and connecting to Singapore only makes it significantly worse.<\/p>
