The test weekend for Overwatch 2's new support hero Juno has gotten off to a rocky start, and that seems to be due to the huge excitement surrounding the cheerful Martian.

OW2 is currently experiencing widespread server issues and errors, and even a server queue. This is likely due to so many players trying to log in at once to try out the hero before she launches in Season 12 next month.
I was able to play a few minutes of a game full of Junos in No Limits Arcade before being put in a queue. Once the queue was over, it tried to log me back in, and the server failed with an "unexpected server error" code. The server issues started happening within minutes of Juno's playtest going live at 1pm CT.
Many players are reporting the same issue, as can be seen from posts on sites like X/Twitter and Reddit, so it seems to be a common glitch. It's unclear how long it will take for the servers to return to normal after the initial wave of Juno hype, but thankfully there are multiple days of testing before it goes away for a while.
