Overwatch 2's Weirdest Bug Yet Is Turning Players Against Their Own Team

The thing about games like Overwatch 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is that even if it's unbalanced or slightly broken, you're still going to have a great time jumping in with your squad. Nothing beats the thrill of pulling off a coordinated takedown of the enemy team. And that's what it's all about in the end – having a good time with friends. However, what if a game not only takes this away from you, but turns you against your friends?
In one of the weirdest bugs we've spotted since the launch of Overwatch 2, players are finding themselves suddenly swapped onto the enemy team. Just imagine how frustrating this would be if you're winning and suddenly find yourself losing. Or how fun it was playing with your friends, but now you have to unfortunately shoot them. This isn't new, but happens in very specific circumstances – when a player from the enemy team leaves, a bug triggers the game to swap you to the opposing team to make up the numbers.

However, this recent incident, spotted by PCGamesN, is quite hilarious. "At the beginning, I thought it simply put me on the enemy team for some reason, but then after carefully checking tab I realized it also put both of the enemy supports on my team," said Aleksey, along with a short clip of what happened. "Also, fun fact: We lost, then I got POTG and it was during the time when I was in my team; Another fun fact: Once the match ended, I got put into an infinite loading screen and then it put me into another game."
The comments were filled by people who weren't surprised in the least bit, given how buggy and broken Overwatch 2 has been since launch. Blizzard has committed to fixing these issues, along with complaints about balancing, but things seem to be moving at a snail's pace. We reported on January 8 that players had been complaining about unfair matchmaking. However, it seems that the issue needed two patches to be fixed, with the second one coming as late as yesterday.
