It’s just the first thing I thought of when I saw that name being floated around.

The guidance we provide is over the top, and wacky. Something different from the live game, not another iteration of it.
This is probably a good lesson for us to learn: over the top is completely subjective based on your perspective. Also, I think that each of the creators try to work some things they’d like to actually see make it, in addition to the more outlandish changes. That’s fine, and isn’t something I’d like to start discouraging.
I would point out that Lemon has played quite a bit of tank, and has enough knowledge on the role to be a well respected member of the Overwatch Shoutcaster professional scene.
I could also point out that (as detailed in her video on the subject), she solicited advice and opinions from several players who play the game at high SR (she did the work), and essentially wrote a thesis paper on her changes and her theory behind the changes.
If it helps, I’ll point to what Flats, ml7, and every other creator who has participated in the Experimental Cards to date has said: balancing a game is incredibly complex and takes into account far more variables than most folks ...

Hiya folks,
We’ve been working with LemonKiwi, ml7support, Jake, and W_NTED today on some balance adjustments for the current Experimental Card. I don’t have an ETA for implementation, nor the final change-log. As soon as we can share more information, we will.
The participating creators have been taking in a lot of feedback, and we’re working with them to make some adjustments that should address some of the current critical discussion.
LemonKiwi has been working with folks from our Hero balance & design team to make sure we’re adjusting tank values to feel more rewarding, while still preserving the spirit of the many well received changes she added in this Experimental Card. ml7, jake, and W_NTED have submitted several adjustments, and we’ll be fixing some bugs that cropped up since the card went live.
Don’t forget to check out the Experimental Creator Cup this weekend! You can find the official broadcast on either the ...

Hi, everyone!

Overwatch has teamed up with content creators to build the second Creator Experimental Card! This daring and wild experimental patch will feature updates, changes, and additions never seen in Overwatch before. We have given our creators complete freedom to turn the Experimental game mode into their sandbox and imagine their own versions of Overwatch. No hero will be left unchanged, and you may find some of their updates fresh and new... yet strangely familiar.
An unexpected, but not unwelcome, development.
Our group of content creators for this experimental card is as interesting and unique as their proposed changes. They include an incredibly diverse group of creators featuring professional Overwatch players, casters, and streamers. If you aren’t familiar with them, make sure to check out their channels and work! Here’s the lineup for the second-ever Creator Experimental Card:
