Overwatch keeps disconnecting
Network trouble or a service problem
Being dropped from matches over and over usually points to your router, network settings or other apps, unless Blizzard is having a service problem at the time.
Fix it
How to fix it
Check @BlizzardCS on X for known service problems.
Turn your modem and router off and on again.
Release and renew your IP address and flush your DNS.
Update your drivers and operating system.
Close other apps while you play, and avoid weak Wi-Fi.
