DDoS attack on Overwatch 2 results in never-ending match queues (MobileSyrup)

Despite releasing yesterday, eager Overwatch 2 players haven't been able to get into matches due to an ongoing DDoS attack on the title.

Recently, [Axios reported](https://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-gaming-c9bd5d00-7b59-41e6-804a-59165d98b56c.html) that Activision Blizzard has also been hit with two setbacks related to its legal battle with California over these workplace misconduct allegations. Bobby Kotick, the company’s CEO, has specifically come under fire [for allegedly working to cover up these reports](https://kotaku.com/activision-blizzard-ceo-bobby-kotick-vote-board-directo-1849093322) and has faced calls to resign, yet he still leads the company. While Overwatch 2 is very similar to its predecessor, it reduces the team size from six to fix (removing one tank character), features new maps, heroes and other additions like a ping system. [dozens of social media posts](https://twitter.com/search?q=overwatch%202&src=typed_query), eager Overwatch 2 players are stuck behind a queue with hundreds and sometimes thousands of players in front of them. This is causing a lot of drop/connection issues. However, Ybarra followed up with another tweet explaining that the game is suffering from a “mass DDoS attack” on its servers.
