Hey everyone!

Thanks for the feedback over the past few days about our most recent Experimental mode. If you haven’t seen the tested changes, patch notes can be found HERE. This experiment is currently scheduled to end tomorrow (Tuesday, July 28th) at 11:00 AM PDT, but we wanted to provide some insight into our next steps before then.

GENJI:

Genji’s recent buffs have increased his hero pick rate considerably. We’re excited to see the hero getting more playtime, but some of the changes pushed his power-level a bit too far.

Hi there, Thanks for the report. We rolled out a fix for this issue this morning, ~10am Pacific time. Can you please verify you’ve patched to the latest version of the client: 1.50.0.0.71255? You should be able to see all of your old saved highlights in-client as long as you’ve patched to that build.

Season 23 of Competitive Play is here, introducing Open Queue to the Competitive playlist.

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 that role. Within the standard Role Queue competitive mode, players will earn separate skill ratings (SR) for each role in Competitive Play, for a total of three distinct SRs. This rating will be a number between 1 and 5000, with higher values indicating a greater skill level. Players will also be assigned a tier per role based on their rating—Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, or Grandmaster – and climbing into the next tier is possible as you improve. Open Queue will utilize the s...

Hey folks, we investigated this issue and made some changes to try to alleviate the problem, and we expect to see some improvement over the next hour.

As some folks have mentioned in this thread, this issue is a result of internet throttling that is in place as a result of increased network demand during the pandemic. We appreciate your patience here, we’re committed to doing our best to avoid impact to you from these restrictions, sorry we didn’t get it 100% right this time.

cheers

Hey everyone, just wanted to drop a note that we’re investigating this. Please keep posting any relevant information if you can, it’s often very helpful as we dig into issues like this.

Cheers

You’re all annoyed that it isn’t working, and taking it out on me because I’m sharing info you don’t want to hear.

Edit: The cavalry’s here.

Depends on what that third-party content provider is up to at the time. Whether they are limiting speeds/connections, time of day, how saturated their network is. They probably provide updates for some other companies, since that’s their sole purpose.
