This is inaccurate. This is either misquoted or poor translation.

  • Profiles will not be public unless a player sets their privacy option to public.
  • I mentioned that we were open to exploring an option in the LFG system for a party leader to set their group to requiring public profiles.

The rest of the questions/answers are also mistranslated or misquoted as well.

That’s right—the Grand Finals confetti has barely been brushed away from Barclays Center, and we’re about to launch into our next major tournament: the 2018 Overwatch World Cup. Over the next month, you’ll be able to witness 41 Overwatch League players and 78 up-and-coming Contenders players mixed in with ladder heroes looking to make their mark as they battle on behalf of their nations.

First, we’ll be traveling to the city of Incheon, South Korea.

Thank you, sir.

I'm hearing that we believe the issue was fixed around noon Pacific Time today. Are folks still experiencing the issue?

Here are offensive hero win rates in competitive play since 1.5.

Offensive Hero Win % Comp Mode since 1/5

Note: Ignore the weird spikes/dips that happen at the end of the season (this is just weird data reporting during the lull)

Sombra = Brown Reaper = Pink Tracer = Blue McCree = Blue/Green (wtf is with these colors) Soldier = Mauve? Doomfist = Yellow Genji - Green

Also, here is the same data with Sombra emphasized but only at Diamond and above (because I knew you'd ask)

Sombra Win % Comp Mode since 1/5 - Diamond and Above

Sorry if I missed it in this thread but can someone post a link to the clip of whoever is throwing? It's very easy to action people if there is video evidence. We just need to see it.

Again, sorry if I missed the link in here if it's already posted but it's Sunday and I am not at the studio right now.

Hey. My only concern with spam is that I can build my ultimate off shields. I want to always be aiming for that for a quick build up and a tank trying to prevent ranged poke and spam against his team could actually be helping the enemy team. How do you feel about placed shields (not the ones attached to heroes) charging ults, and is there any consideration to tweak it? or leave as is?

Well we've recently been experimenting back and forth with this mechanic. In our latest builds hitting shields doesn't generate ult for either party.

But even with the way it was, both the shield owner and the attacker gain ult equally (and even then only at a 20% rate), so if you were firing into an enemy barrier to charge your ult you're also charging his/her ult as well.
