Overwatch Dev Tracker

we've tried a number of things over the years:

• changed the capture points to work like control points (meaning KOTH points)
• added defenders spawn rooms closer to point a
• added a "middle" capture point between a and b
• moved the defenders spawn point back on b
• made it so that capture happens regardless of if defenders were on the point

those are just a few off the top of my head. lots of level design changes.

Speaking for myself here - I play a lot of competitive Overwatch. I play 10-20 hours of competitive Overwatch every week, and I love it. I used to play flex. I truly enjoy playing a wide variety of characters. Lately I have been focusing on Tanks and Healers, as my friend plays DPS.

we're in a really great place to move forward right now. over the past year we were lucky enough to get jeff chamberlain to become our new creative director. jeff was the director of our original announcement piece for overwatch back in 2014 (as well as some amazing blizzard cinematics over the years -- WOTLK intro for example). we've also added some really amazing narrative designers and are partnering with our story and franchise development group (they make the animated shorts, origins movies, comics, statues etc) at an insanely intense level. there are some very cool lore developments coming.

Hey there, we've definitely worked through audio occlusion bugs in the past, but unfortunately there's not a single problem that solves all of the issues. Any time you encounter this if you can post detail on our bug report forums it really helps us dig into that specific issue.

The AMA has now concluded - Thank you so much for coming and asking your questions!

havana not pepejam?

we have two experimental cards in the works. one is focused on some balance changes (some moira experiments we are unsure of and some minor toning down of genji). the other is a "failed" experiment that we figured might be fun for some to try.

we're not sure what order they will be going up just yet but we're hoping one goes live sometime next week. sometimes things come up and those dates change so please manage expectations accordingly.

Thanks for posting we'll check it out. Cheers

Hey there, I made a post about this on our forums, pasting it here so more people see it. Sorry for the hassle.

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 ...

Hey there, I sent this along to QA and our sound team to review again. Thanks for the detail.

Hey u/aurens and u/Carter_OW - I'll pass this along to QA and our sound folks. For the previous bug we had a way to reproduce the issue and verified before and after the change it fixed that particular scenario. Perhaps there's more to it though. Sorry for the hassle.

Hey there, thanks for the post. We've been digging into this since we first heard about it and are working to get a fix out quickly. We do consider this an exploit, and we want to caution people not to abuse this bug.

Cheers
