Hey all! Quick update on some changes coming to Season 2. After reviewing data for Season 1, we're moving Ramattra in to Tier 45 of the Battle Pass and making a few more weekly challenges easier to complete. Excited for you all to see everything new in Season 2 starting tomorrow!

@PlayOverwatch [4/5] We just used a hotfix earlier today to address a collision issue on Shambali and the team is also planning to use that system to make some quick hero balance changes later this week based on the early read of Season 2 hero performance.

The team is looking at potential changes to Sojourn, Doomfist, Ramattra, Roadhog and Tracer with the planned balance changes coming later this week. https://twitter.com/Spex_J/status/1602463306958372864

Super excited to be doing this with all of you and Dion! We're hoping to use your input to design and build a map, in our editor, and to just have fun. Who knows? Maybe its something we'll be able to play together in the future! 🤩 https://twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/1604933623450320896

@P30Virus @PlayOverwatch We'll be using our internal tools to do this. I am a little rusty, so go easy on me...😅

That was sooooo much fun! Thanks to everyone who came out and helped us build our underwater, Talon base, in the ruins of Atlantis, off the coast of the Galapagos, map. Whoever thought of the jump pad through the waterfall is a genius 😎 https://twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/1605729838622449667

Today's balance patch is a bit lighter than usual because some of its planned changes were pulled forward to the mid December patch. Also, a friendly reminder that the scheduled changes to Roadhog are not part of today’s patch and are slated for mid to late January.

RT @OhReallyJared: We just hotfixed issues with Junker Queen's Carnage ability cooldown resetting when it shouldn't and Kiriko's Swift Step…

Hey all! We just published a piece with some of our current thoughts as well as future direction for OW, most of it based on your feedback. Check it out and keep the comments coming! 😀 https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/23910162/

@OleAasheim Average rank/match balance as well the spread of ranks/match volatility is something that we are currently discussing for this screen. A large portion of the time there isn't an interesting story here, but when there is we think players would like to know it.

Hey all! We've put a new post up on the OW website. I'll be diving into several topics related to maps and level design, including Map Pools😅 Check it out! https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/23912176

@RayanMADAO Season 3 starts in 4 days and we've already locked the build. Sorry!

@OhReallyJared My mother sent me a newspaper clipping of this tweet, Jared.

@Fleegler_ Thank you! I’d like to keep this tone in the future.

Season 3 started this week! 🥳 We've put a lot of effort into keeping you all informed, and we've just published another update on our blog. I talk a bit more about map frequency as well as values around the arcade and collaborations. Check it out! https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/23906081/

Numbani was temporarily removed from the game while the team was investigating a crash bug. We've just reenabled it in Unranked and Ranked. Sorry for the mistake and thanks for your patience.

almost 2 years ago - aaronkellerOW - Direct link

@bunnimoniOW That's correct. It was only active at the start of season 3 for a short period of time.

Earlier today we started rolling out fixes for an issue where players from a much lower skill tier would get pulled into higher skill games. We'll continue to monitor and make additional changes if needed. Thank you all for your patience! 🙏

@volskayadottxt New game mode for this year's Halloween Terror 😅

For context we made several changes to matchmaking in S3. We'll cover these and their impact(generally, really positive) in the next blog update. A byproduct of these changes was pulling gold players into GM lobbies. That's what these fixes are targeted at.
