She’s a cool girl and kinda cute.

this is being fixed (hopefully)

agree. we’re already working on this. weirdly, a good version is harder than you might think.

I think some people would love a one-way feedback form. Something similar to what World of Warcraft has:

the experiment was designed to try to alleviate long queue times for damage players. but we also wanted to hear player feedback, not just look at data.

we used to have this! what we learned:

–people like winning
–people do not like losing

We’re working on getting patch notes into the game client. This will include experimental changes. It’s a staged roll out so our first version is not our long term goal. More on that later.

I’m glad you’re enjoying it. The feedback is really polarizing. Seems mostly negative to me so far but that’s anecdotal.

FWIW, queue times are amazing. On average, less than 3 minutes. Damage queue times are currently 1 minute. 1.5 minutes in KR, our most impacted region…

But we’ll see how it settles. I’m not expecting this to go live given the community’s mostly negative reaction so far. But who knows.

No. Mostly the card will just appear with little to no warning and won’t get a developer update.

We’'ll probably leave this up for a few days. A week at most. We want to cover a few “prime times” in each region as it will help with data collection. For example, at the time that I am posting this it is prime time on the east coast in the US.

Once the card comes down, the next changes coming to it will most likely be balance changes (things as extreme as 3-2-1 will be rare). I would expect the card to come up “every few weeks” and stay up for a few days, if that answers the question.

A bit confusing… but the PTR will also be coming up, possibly even during the duration of this current experiment. There are certain things that can only be tested on PTR and cannot be tested in an experiment. For example, if we wanted to make a change to Mei’s Ice Wall collision we would need a PTR for that. Purely random example… um yeah.

Hey there, this is fixed now. Thanks for the report.

Hey there, we're aware with an issue that's preventing replays from showing up. We're working on a fix, once it's complete they will appear.

Cheers

edit: this is fixed now, thanks again for the report

Hey everyone!

Experimental is now live, allowing players to try new balance updates, rulesets, and game modes that might be awesome or might not ever make it past the “Experimental” stage. One of the primary uses for this testing ground is for players to provide feedback for wild changes to the standard game you’re used to playing. For more information on this new mode, see our patch notes!

The first set of changes we want to test is a mode titled “Tr...
