It’s not every day you get to use your teammates as literal bullet sponges (Roadhog aside) in a close-quarters firefight. Grab your pulse pistols, don your coziest skin, and get ready to get cold—Freezethaw Elimination, the newest Winter Wonderland brawl, is here. Instead of dying in this brawl, players are frozen solid in blocks of ice that their teammates can thaw (or choose to utilize as sniper cover while they attempt to pull off that perfect headshot).

Hi All!
As we’re wrapping up the year, Dan and I wanted to check in with you guys and see if you had any questions about Workshop.
Curious how it works? How it came to be? The people behind it? Where it’s headed? We’re collecting questions and would love to hear yours!
Appreciate the report - Have this one logged and is under investigation.
We have identified an issue with Junkertown that was resulting in an uptick in collapsed matches. We have temporarily disabled the map from Quick Play and Competitive Play while we investigate the issue. You will still be able to access the map in Custom Games and the Arcade.
