We have disabled today’s patch that introduced Genji balance adjustments (Shuriken nerfs) and a bug fix surrounding door animations on Route 66 and Watchpoint: Gibraltar. These changes are still intended to reach the Retail environment soon, but are no longer active at the current time.
A new patch is now live on Windows PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Read below to learn more about the latest changes.

Hey everyone!
Thanks for the feedback over the past few days about our most recent Experimental mode. If you haven’t seen the tested changes, patch notes can be found HERE. This experiment is currently scheduled to end tomorrow (Tuesday, July 28th) at 11:00 AM PDT, but we wanted to provide some insight into our next steps before then.
GENJI:
Genji’s recent buffs have increased his hero pick rate considerably. We’re excited to see the hero getting more playtime, but some of the changes pushed his power-level a bit too far. The tested changes to Shuriken are aimed at re-balancing of his burst potential. We believe these changes are the right directio...

Are these characters created in response to current gameplay trends in the game or are these characters created as a way to push out an entirely new style of gameplay? Also what was the team's favorite character to create and why was it Mama Hong?"
We see you! These are great questions, be sure to come back with these on Thursday - Think there's potential for a lot of great insight on hero design!
Hello r/Overwatch and congratulations on 3 million members!

Read moreThe world needs heroes now more than ever, it seems. And digital heroes need quite a lot to exist: dramatic motivations, iconic aesthetics, deep designs. But they need code in far greater quantities. Over 2.7 million lines of evolving code power the tools that support Overwatch today.
The Architechs on Overwatch’s engine and tools teams are the keepers of that legacy, and there’s no game without their work.
The Engine Team
Overwatch’s engine team builds the technical infrastructure of the game’s many systems, among them graphics, visual effects, gameplay physics, and audio—the “building blocks” that enable development. Lead Software Engineer Phil Teschner, who worked on the Halo series and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning before joining Blizzard, is the engine team’s chief block wran...
