It's a holiday rumble in the Overwatch community! AverageJonas, LuluLuvely, will be joined by creators to compete in a community tournament on Tuesday, December 20. The tournament will have two groups of 4 teams compete in a round-robin to find the first two teams to get to two wins, and will then be followed by the top four teams competing in a single-elimination bracket with a $25,000 prize pool on the line!
We wish you one Hell of a holiday season!
Winter has befallen Sanctuary—and with it, a fresh layer of demonic trickery has coated the land. During this time of year, mortals exchange gifts to spread holiday cheer, but the Burning Hell’s helpers have thwarted this celebration by stealing all the gifts for their own nefarious purposes.
Restoring this time of glee rests squarely on your shoulders, Nephalem. Can you save this Hellish Holiday?
From December 16, 11:00 a.m.–February 5, 11:00 a.m. PST, you’ll need to put the ...

Patch 25.0.3 is a data-only patch going live today with updates to two Standard cards.
Card Updates
Dev Comment: We set up this balance window to address any changes we wanted to make immediately after the expansion launched. Shockspitter is exactly that type of card, ending games sooner, more easily, and more consistently than we intended. Sire Denathrius is a card we have had our eyes on for some time, but we wanted to see how he performed in the new expansion first. With a couple days of data, we can see that it is still a very popular and polarizing card, warping early meta development in a way we want to address before the World Championship (December 16-18).
This balance update was reserved for only the most standout cards immediately after expansion unlock. We’ll continue to keep our eye on how the metagame develops and make any further adjustments needed in our next balance window, reserved f...
