while we're on the topic of wide/close matches - how is the team feeling on the MMR range that makes a group qualify as wide or normal?

There's been a few situations where i play with friends i always played with, and we feel like we are similarly skilled, but we have to basically forgo climbing together cos we're apparently a wide group.

That's part of what Morgan is saying in this video - we're allowing wider duos to be considered Narrow. If you're not a duo though, the amount of rank you gain or lose is based on actual width though (not just being flagged as Narrow or Wide), so if you're just barely outside the Narrow bracket then the amount your rank changes with wins or losses will be very close to normal. You could still climb (or fall...) now.

Not sure if this is on their radar but doing any placements automatically makes your group wide which is not fun. I’m not sure if they would even have a work around but I’ve had absurd duo queue times even though we were the same rank just because one of us was placing.

This is on our radar, we agree it's a problem.

Gear up for an epic showdown as Ultrawatch faces Mythic Calamity Empress Ashe, plus celebrate 100 million heroes with the return of Pink Mercy, and much more. Overwatch 2 Season 11: Super Mega Ultrawatch arrives June 20!

Get ready to unleash your inner superhero with Legendary Ultrawatch skins, as you call upon their power to fight evil. The fallen Mythic Calamity Empress Ashe, alongside her no-good miscreant sidekick B.O.B., has risen to power, and it's up to Ultrawatch to stop her. But will the power of teamwork be enough to stand against the Empress’s wicked reign or will she conquer and rule the world?

Update, June 27 - We communicated incorrect pricing for select regional currencies for this blog. These prices have now been updated appropriately to match the actual retail price for both the Pink Mercy skin and the Rose Gold Mercy bundle. We apologize for any error.

Overwatch would not be where it is without you. You’ve pushed the payload, fought to capture the point, and cheered your teams to victory. Whether you are a tank main, damage one-trick, or support superstar, you’re all heroes. Since Overwatch launched in 2016, we’ve had over 100 million players answer the call, and we’re celebrating this milestone with something very special.

One of our favorite memories from this history of Overwatch is when we all came together for a great cause and helped make a difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer. In May 2018, we introduced the Pink Mercy skin, which helped raise $12.7 million USD for the ...

Every Pride Month, communities around the world celebrate and accentuate why it’s important to give visibility to everyone in the LGBTQ+ community. Overwatch Creator Dani Ellis— better known as Grandma—knows why Overwatch is a place where the LGBTQ+ community can feel openly represented in the game and be part of the gaming community. We talked with Grandma about why this matters, and how she expresses herself to her community on her stream at twitch.tv/grandma.

Hello Grandma! Can you introduce and share with us who you are?

My name is Grandma, though my actual name is Dani. I consider myself a veteran gamer, as I have been playing games since I was 4 years old. ...

We had the chance to talk with content creator Deshaawnn to find out why Overwatch 2 is his go-to game and positive place for him.


Hello Deshaawnn! Would you please introduce yourself and which heroes do you like to play?

Deshaawn: Hello, my name is Deshaawnn. I’m a cozy / slightly chaotic queer streamer in the Overwatch community. I’ve been streaming since 2018 and honestly, I just love shining love and positivity into people’s lives. That’s what I enjoy about this most of all.

Overwatch 2 wouldn’t be where it is without the amazing talent that goes into the various Esports programs that help showcase the best players in the game and the casting talent who call all the action. One rising star in that field is Ceebee, who brings you the action when you watch Calling All Heroes, the Esports program that provides a competitive space for players of marginalized genders to compete. We sat down to chat with CeeBee, who shared what it’s like to be involved in the growing community for Overwatch and how she is looking to make Esports a place for everyone.


Hello CeeBee, would you introduce yourself to our community?

CeeBee: Hello, my name is Ceebee. I am an Esports caster focusing primarily on competitive Overwatch. I found a  lovely home in the Calling All Heroes scene, where I get the opportunity to call the action and be an active part of that community to help support marginalized gender players...
