Hey everyone!

We’re back with another Experimental mode focused on increasing consistency with shotgun-style weapons (Patch Notes). As with all Experimental modes, these changes are not guaranteed to reach the live version of the game.

What are we trying to address?

Heroes with shotgun-style weapons currently experience an amount of randomness in their shots which can affect the reliability of some heroes’ weapons. We want to experiment with changes that will allow these weapons to behave more consistently.

What are we testing?

We’re looking to increase the consistency of shotgun weapons by removing the random rotation...

Welcome to Season 24 of Competitive Play

Season 24 of Competitive Play is here!

Unlocked at level 25, Competitive Play is designed for those players who want to put their skills to the test, and offers a more serious experience than our Quick Play or Arcade Modes.


GETTING STARTED

Before you can kick off your competitive career, every player will be required to complete five placement matches in a selected role to obtain their seasonal skill rating for that role. Within the standard Role Queue competitive mode, players will earn separate skill ratings (SR) for each role in Competitive Play, for a total of three distinct SRs.

Open Queue will utilize the sam...

Hey everyone!

We have another Experimental mode focused on adjusting damage and healing output for heroes (Patch Notes). As with all Experimental modes, these changes are not guaranteed to reach the live version of the game.

What are we trying to address?

We’ve been reducing the power level of barriers in Overwatch over the past few patches. Now, with the recent updates to Tanks, we’ve seen some feedback about gameplay pacing feeling much faster with fewer barriers in-play. Also, over four years, we’ve released more than 50 major patches and even more balance-focused patches, which has led to some shifts in what would be considered the “base power” ...
