HOW ARE YOU GONNA DO THAT TO MY SUPPORT HEROES!!?

Imagine trying to cancel Moira I won’t let u

1. DPS
2. TANK
3. SUPPORT
4. HOG

All of you are completely based!

I didn’t mean to diminish anyone’s thoughts or feelings, I just meant I have been with the game since 2016 but only joined Blizzard October 2021. I remember Blizzcon 2019 as a player and member of the Overwatch community.

I can’t offer anything right now, but I have a lot of faith in the future of this game. I hope we can make it up to those of you who are feeling frustrated right now.

My personal gripe with hero bans in Overwatch has always been the number of heroes (and then the number of heroes in each role).

I think bans would work better for DPS than they would support and tanks because those two roles have less heroes, but honestly I didn’t like the comp bans we tried way back when.

Counter-picks and teamwork is too important in Overwatch.

This made my heart skip a beat.

THIS CLIP IS SO CURSED

I know there’s not a whole lot I can offer right now because y’all really want to know what the future holds for Overwatch. Just know you feelings are 100% valid, and I understand the frustration. I have felt it, too.

I can let you know that this game is everything to the Overwatch team, and we are all super stoked for when we can share more with you.

...

I’m still around folks.

I’ve been heads down on planning for the year to come, so my apologies for being less visible since the new year. Give me a few more weeks and then I’ll be a different kind of busy, but more able to jump in here on the forums.

All that said, Jodie is awesome, so y’all be sure to show her the same kindness you’ve extended to me.

Did I get baited? Because I actually tried it.

Brigitte and Mercy will be out starting Friday with the color of the day and the people who make it better the best option for you to know I am currently awake because of anixety and ptsd that you are doing.

We were having a good day and now we have anxiety. Typical.

AndyB is completely fine! I’ll let him know you asked.

Idk if this is OCD, but I accidentally rebound Zen’s “Thank You” to “No.”

I just kinda left it, and now every time someone does something nice for me, I thank them by saying,

“No.”

They pretty much went through a phase a few years ago where Hog replaced Reaper, tbh.

I do think Hog is counterable, though. Biotic grenade and discord eat him up. The team just needs to make sure he’s not getting close to supports.

I like playing support and tank the most, but I think it’s just an efficacy thing. I’m not BAD at DPS. I just feel way more confident on the other roles.

BUT 2022 IS MY YEAR. I CAN FEEL IT!

I’ve seen some pretty cool clips on the Tweeter

Bugs not withstanding (sorry about that), we knew some of these changes would drive a lot of conversation. We also knew that the patch would shake up the meta a bit, something we’ll be closely monitoring this week. As usual, we’ll be summarizing your feedback and sending that along to Geoff and co.

Your measured feedback about your play experience once you’ve tried out the patch is going to be super helpful in said summary. If you don’t care for the experience, let us know what frustrated you about it. Try to be specific, avoid hyperbole, and just speak to your experience. If you like it, tell us what you enjoyed about it. Again, be specific, and try to avoid hyperbole (this is especially important in how you title your feedback threads).

Thanks folks
