Hey everyone!
We’re back with another Experimental mode focused on testing some balance changes. As with all Experimental modes, these changes are not guaranteed to reach the live version of the game. Check out the patch notes here.

While we don’t have an overarching theme for today’s Experimental patch, we’re hoping to get your feedback on a handful of heroes.
What are we...

Junkertown has been re-enabled in Quick Play and Competitive on all platforms. Thank you for your patience!
Nestled in the shadow of Hanamura Castle, Kanezaka is a quiet area that straddles tradition and modernity. Weathered wooden buildings and a Shinto shrine guarded by solemn stone foxes border the bustle of a high-rise cityscape that trickles into the town proper. Kanezaka is full of whimsical detail and small, subtly hidden homages to the Overwatch team. Players can cuddle up at the cat café, drop by the seedy local bar, or gleefully obliterate some claw machines at the Pachimari FunFun! Arcade.
Catch up with some of Kanezaka’s developers, including senior lighting artist Fabien Christin, senior artist Thiago Klafke, senior level designer Morten Hedegren, and associate art director Dion Rogers, as they talk map design, inspirations, and what it was like creating a map entirely through remote collaboration and Zoom-jamming.

Read moreHistorically, I have noticed relatively small PTR patches tend to have content stuffed in that is not mentioned in the patch notes, though not always. For example, I believe when they revamped the StarCraft II Nexus Experience “gift shop” into the Mike Morhaime tribute on BlizzardWorld, that PTR patch was relatively small upfront (though at the time we knew a new hero would be coming out at the time).
Hey everyone, we wanted to follow up on the performance of the Priority Pass and some next steps we’re taking to improve the process.
So far, our data indicates that the Priority Pass is functioning as intended, generally providing shorter queue times for those who use them. The goal of the Priority Pass is to improve player experience and get players into matches quicker. In the same vein, we don’t want this feature to have a negative impact on the quality of matches for yourself or others. We want to do our part to discourage players from intentionally losing and ruining matches for the sake of earning priority passes.
Moving forward, we’re looking to make the following adjustments to address some of these learnings:
We’re...
Read moreYou know, if I wasn’t busy with other things, this is the kind of PTR patch where I feel like I need to comb through every map inch by inch to see if there have been any new easter eggs planted.
On a side note, I would still love to one day get some sort of Gameplay Controls export option for PC. I recently did an overhaul on my sensitivities on all of my heroes on my live account (to adjust from a 1600 DPI to a 800 DPI mouse sensitivity setting), and the PTR account is still several patches outdated since the last data copy.
