I mean, someone asked if we had a secret, private, ExCard. This is neither secret or private :stuck_out_tongue:

We ran into some issues with the card that didn’t manifest during testing. We’ve pulled the card down for the moment while we look into it. I’ll update as soon as I have additional info.

The Experimental Card enables the Overwatch team to test out changes that are outside the scheduled patch cycle. This gives us a lot of creative freedom while not having to worry about completely shocking the retail game. We thought it would be a brilliant idea to extend that same creative freedom directly to our content creators and community.  

What an interesting hypothesis.   

Everyone is invited to check out our newest Creator Experimental Card beginning November 30, 2021, featuring over-the-top balance ideas coming directly from Overwatch content creators. Each of the following creators will submit wild, whimsical and, dare we say, wacky changes for any of the heroes within their role:  

  • Violet—Support  
  • Flats—Tank  
  • Somjuu—DPS  

We are also teaming up with these creators to bring you a new competitive community tournament: Overwatc...

Hiya folks,

We’re going to be out of the office all next week (22 Nov - 26 Nov), in celebration of American Thanksgiving. If you celebrate, I hope you have a wonderful holiday with your friends, family, and chosen family. This year, I’m incredibly thankful to our community for supporting our teams, holding our feet to the flame, and loving Overwatch.

This does mean that we’ll likely be radio silent for the most part, barring unforeseen circumstances. I’ll still be checking in on a daily basis, however mostly in a monitoring capacity.

Thank you everyone. Have a happy turkey day.

This was a small patch to fix an issue that was causing client crashes for some players.

Future such articles will be closer to the actual event. We’re a relatively new-ish team (between Jodie and myself), so there’s a lot of processes we’re learning/catching up on.

I covered this previously, however we intentionally hosted this AMA with minimal lead time and promotion. For any future AMAs that ...

The information in this post is pretty well known in the English speaking community. We created this article, and plan on doing similarly for any future AMA’s or Q&A’s, primarily for our non-English speaking regions where it’s more challenging to get details like this.

Introduction  

The Overwatch team hosted a live AMA on /r/Competitiveoverwatch to talk about the recent Overwatch League pro playtest. We welcomed Lead Hero Designer Geoff Goodman and Hero Designer Josh Noh to answer community questions about 5v5 and upcoming balance changes. In case you missed out, we’ve got you covered with all of the highlights below.

Hero Reworks Bastion and Sombra  

Overall, the team is happy with Bastion's current tool kit after the recent rework and is working on adjusting numbers to get him into a good place. Geoff Goodman replied to a question about Bastion's performance from u/BarstMain.

Ketchup is a fine condiment.

My kids used to love it when they were younger
