Blizzard breaks silence about major Overwatch 2 bug that bans players

But the advice the devs gave today isn’t exactly what players are looking for. With a post to the Blizzard Support website, the developer effectively admitted it doesn’t yet have a solution for issues surrounding the problem that has kept players from loading into competitive matches, resulting in suspensions from comp games.
