Our latest hero, Echo, is now live on the Public Test Region (PTR)! However, because of the current lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we haven’t been able to localize some of her voice lines & web content. Rest assured that these will be made available in the future.

We wanted to make Echo available for testing as soon as we could - please pardon our dust as we finish construction! Thanks for your understanding, and we hope you enjoy playing Echo on PTR.

yes. confirmed. achievements can now be earned in quick play classic.

it was an oversight that it did not get listed in the patch notes

being backfilled into a defeat screen is not ideal, no matter how long you wait.

we want to address these issues. with backfilling, we’ll never be able to entirely eliminate them because of how some of the game modes work. but certainly it can be better than it is today.

backfilling as it relates to role queue and possible long queue times (damage) is a separate issue that we’ve also been working on. we agree that it’s an issue.

perhaps OR16…?

Unfortunately, it’s best for matchmaking to sometimes substitute you into a match as a backfill. With that said, we would like to make some improvements. These are tricky and take time.

We did recently fix an issue that has not gone live yet. Once you serve as a backfill, there is supposed to be a cooldown on subbing you in again. But currently if you switch modes a lot (i.e. from quick play to mystery heroes), you can be backfilled multiple times in a row. In an upcoming patch, this will be fixed.

Again, we want to do more improvements to backfilling over time, but simply removing the system is unlikely to happen.
