Hey… sorry!

We don’t like being silent… that’s not our intention. we’ve been trying to show up more on various streams (we have our creator’s residency now here at Blizzard where streamers hang out with us) plus we did a bunch of streams at Blizzcon. maybe you missed those?

We’re also in a bit of a “head’s down” mode trying to get a lot of work done. we also had a few people traveling over the thanksgiving holiday (we’re based in the US) and took advantage of the slow week to allow developers to work on whatever they wanted. the end result was pretty cool. we explored new game modes, new features and new engine tech. it was all really rough but some of the prototypes will actually turn into features someday.

I guess, mostly, we don’t have a big newsworthy thing to announce or talk about right now so we’re more focused on “getting stuff done” rather than anything else.

Roughly, this is a sample of some of what we’re working on:

Hello everyone,

Hi Overwatch and Esports Fans,

Thanks to all of you who downloaded, installed, tried out, posted awesome clips, and gave us feedback on the Overwatch World Cup Viewer over the last month.

As we announced when we released the beta, we only planned to provide the feature for about a month and that time has come. We currently plan to shut off the Overwatch World Cup Viewer at ~15:00 (3pm) PST today (Monday Dec 3) in case there are any final moments you wanted to capture. =)

After that, the INSTALL button in the Battle.net App will change to an UNINSTALL if you want to reclaim the disk space. Tom Powers will have a more official ...

They were originally designed for peacekeeping purposes, sort of like the original OR14s.

Hey there, sorry for this issue. One of our UI engineers is taking a look at this and we think we may have a solution to work around this. Unfortunately it may not make it in until the 1.32 patch.

Cheers.

Hey Everyone, we have a fix for this internally and hope to push it out with our next patch.

In the meantime, there is a workaround. Reset your user volume sliders back to 100 and turn the game down using the Windows volume mixer in the Windows sound options.

Thank you all for bringing the issue to our attention.

Hey folks, PTR build 53030 is now live which includes these changes. Cheers!

This post is to track further updates to the PTR as we make them. The following changes are planned for a PTR patch that will probably come on Monday.

Brigitte

• Shield Bash
  • Damage reduced from 50 to 5
• Inspire Passive
  • Cooldown reduced from 1.5s to 1.0s
  • Duration increased from 5s to 6s
  • Total healing increased from 80 to 100

Dev Notes: Reduces Shield Bash’s damage reduces her total stun combo damage potential while still allowing Whip Shot and her basic melee attacks to retain their full strength. Brigitte is a hybrid tank/healer, and lately we’ve been reducing her effectiveness by reducing the power of her non-healing functionality, but we want to make sure she is still a viable pick so we’re increasing the uptime of her Inspire passive to help increase her overall healing output.

Doomfist

• Seismic Slam
  • Victims no longer lose air c...
