Bugs not withstanding (sorry about that), we knew some of these changes would drive a lot of conversation. We also knew that the patch would shake up the meta a bit, something we’ll be closely monitoring this week. As usual, we’ll be summarizing your feedback and sending that along to Geoff and co.

Your measured feedback about your play experience once you’ve tried out the patch is going to be super helpful in said summary. If you don’t care for the experience, let us know what frustrated you about it. Try to be specific, avoid hyperbole, and just speak to your experience. If you like it, tell us what you enjoyed about it. Again, be specific, and try to avoid hyperbole (this is especially important in how you title your feedback threads).

Thanks folks

AFAIR each of these changes was in an ExCard previously, albeit some with different values that we tweaked before pushing to live.

Hi folks,

We’ve reverted the patch due to this bug. Apologies to anyone negatively affected by this

Sorry Hanzo mains. Your reign of terror was brief but horrifying.

Hi folks,

We are reverting today’s update so that we can fix an issue with Hanzo’s Storm Arrow not properly being blocked by shield abilities. At this time, we do not have an ETA on when the patch will be live again.

Apologies for anyone who may have been affected by this issue

Update: 3:00 PM PST - the issue has been fixed and the patch has been redeployed.

Welcome to Season 32 of Competitive Play

Season 32 of Competitive Play is here!

Unlocked at level 25, Competitive Play is designed for those players who want to put their skills to the test, and offers a more serious experience than our Quick Play or Arcade Modes.

GETTING STARTED

Before you can kick off your competitive career, every player will be required to complete five placement matches in a selected role to obtain their seasonal skill rating for t...

To provide some additional clarity: in our discussion, even a small amount of consideration was heavily caveated by the phrase “we’d need to really test the numbers to even consider it”.

What I find particularly cool about these kinds of discussions is more of an acknowledgement that creative and interesting ideas can come from anywhere.

Even Flats

sorry Flats. I still love you

Good morning everyone,

We did discuss the possibility of any of these changes sticking around with Geoff. That shouldn’t be seen as a tacit promise or even a statement of desire that we want to keep any of the changes.

No, it’s Pikachu

gah

Welcome to the forum community!

OH MY GOODNESS!

Thank you! I have been on the team for about two months, now But I have been in the community since 2016 during the beta. I have been playing video games my whole life, but Overwatch was the catalyst for my career in gaming.

It’s super special for me to be here, and my first two months have been a whirlwind for which I am completely grateful! We have good things coming for Overwatch, and I can’t wait to share them with you!

I appreciate the welcome! You will for sure be seeing me around!

The concept art team is phenomenal, as both artists and teammates. My favorite part about that team is how they work together on their art. They just work really well together!!

But I would say that about the entire Overwatch team. They’re amazing.

Hope you enjoy Winter Wonderland!

This is the redemption arc we needed for the holidays.

Glad y’all like the skin!! Did you notice the cute little bunnies on her dress? Also… what would you guess is the inspiration behind her outfit??

I’ve literally been looking at this skin for weeks, and I am so upset that I didn’t see it before today.

Genji is my favorite wraith kitty.

First, he’s a wise-cracking, hairy, little, blue hedgehog.
Second, one flashbang and it’s over.
Third, why did you have to bring Freddy into the conversation?!?

I am going to miss it, too!

Flats, Somjuu, and Violet did a fantastic job coming up with their creative changes. Personally, I am going to miss D.Va’s boosters lasting forever and being able to pistol whip people for 100hp.
