lately i keep getting disconnected in the middle of my overwatch matches and it results in me getting suspended and basically making the game unplayable. i only play quick play so i think its stupid that im getting suspended in the first place as im only playing QUICK PLAY and not competitive. its not my fault that my wifi keeps disconnecting and this only happens when i play overwatch for some reason. its fine with every other app i use but the moment i get into an overwatch match i disconnect. i really dont know how i can even fix this but even if i cant i recommend NOT suspending people over quick play matches because its really not the same as competitive. i dont know if anyone else is having this issue or if anyone knows a fix but anything helps.
If you haven’t tried these already, I’d advise giving the related support article a look.

Before trying any of the following steps check the BlizzardCS Twitter for any service interruptions.
- Reset your network devices to make sure your router hasn’t become flooded with data.
- Release and renew your IP and flush your DNS to resolve any network conflicts.
- Update your drivers and operating system to resolve any compatibility issues.
- If you’re using a wireless connection, optimize your internet connection to rule out a connection issue.
- Close all other applications to resolve software conflicts and free up resources.

The article also includes an advanced troubleshooting guide, if needed!
Fingers-crossed!
Are you using ethernet? If not, use ethernet instead of Wi-Fi, that’s usually the main reason, also check ping during matches and when you get disconnected.
As well as this, are you logged into your region?
This keeps happening to me too! it’s so annoying. I have checked all the tips from blizzard and there’s no solution. did you fix it?
If you’re using wifi try switching to ethernet or at least tethering with your phone, for some reason overwatch hates wifi. I have 3 ms ping with my router with no spikes even when i disconnect and for some reason overwatch keeps crashing. Using my phone with usb tethering and 5G has solved for me even if not optimal cause i have 110 ping instead of 60.
Let’s wait for blizzard to solve
its not even that my ping is high, it just randomly disconnects me..but yeah ill try to get ethernet. thanks for the tips!
