It's also probably just relatively safe even if Venture is somewhat OP. The game is much more sensitive to an overpowered tank than an overpowered damage IMO.

Was it in S10 where they were reducing Push matches to 8 minutes, as well as the robot pushing the barrier faster? I hope so.
Alright, thanks ! Hope it doesn't take as long as usual...
There's nothing in the patch notes to suggest that's happening today, sadly. I wish they were a little faster in making changes like that...
Just speculating, but I wonder if changes like that might all come together. Last year, with Season 6, we got Illari, Flashpoint, and the PvE simultaneously. Given Blizzard's allusions that they think yearly might be too slow for S9 style shakeups, S12 is well positioned -- could it be Space Ranger, Clash, and a whole heap more?
Kiri is so strong on paper and annoying to play against. I am always shocked when I see her win rates are dogshit.
I mentioned the other day that I had 1000 OW coins stuck on an Xbox account and was hoping Blizz/MS would make it Cloud usable
Guess who just bought 1000 more they THOUGHT was going to be for their Battle.net account because there was NO microsoft branding anywhere on the page
Guess what platform they ended up being for?
Microsoft please just this once for me
not even annoyed with Microsoft just annoyed at myself for not realizing beforehand

I was under the impression that you could get both the Mercy Mythic this season and a previous Mythic should you choose to apply your Prisms towards an older Mythic purchase. If you want to purchase the current season's Mythic plus any you missed out on it will take longer. Or I suppose you could split the customization Prism costs between different Mythics. It's a weird system.
How they announced it on stage was that you would be able to get an old mythic instead of the current one if you wanted. But yeah, I like the system, since you can get the base at level 58, more like Tracer's.
It's entirely for people in a season where they don't actually want the mythic or don't want all the customizations. Like the Orisa season(couldn't be me, one of the best mythics as it's just fun to play Orisa with all the effects and sounds of the skin but I digress), for Orisa haters they could have opted to just spend it elsewhere or...hang on to it? I haven't actually heard confirmation that you can just hold on to them for the future but given it's a new currency you can buy, I'm going with the assumption you can just hang on to them.
Yeah. The reason for the delay previously was to let free people grind them out. Now everyone gets them at launch anyway.

Yes, you can hold onto the prisms for future Mythics, So if there are skins in the BP that you like but not the mythic you can hold onto the prisms for another mythic.
Drill Into the Competition in Overwatch 2 – Season 10
Dive into the latest season with the new Damage hero Venture and discover a world turned over in Mirrorwatch.

Yes, I believe first ever in OW history.
I think they meant ever since OW1 heroes you had to wait.
Thanks. I thought that was the case, but I wasn't 100%.
I can imagine comp is going to be a mess, as a large number of people will be trying to instalock them because they're "new" & have little to no understanding of how they play.
Didn't really stop to think about it until now, but it's odd to me that they're en route to adding another game mode to the rotation (even if this season is just a temp preview) when flashpoint is still just two maps.
Granted, I get a lot out of those two maps, count me as someone who likes the mode a lot, really anything that leans towards me using my more brawl like characters and tends to de-emphasise snipers is my jam.
As such I'm curious as to how the new mode pans out, seems like another point brawl mode, with a layout that surely, surely ensures players don't get lost lol
I'm almost certainly underestimating the amount of work it takes to remix existing stages and assets from underplayed or dead modes of OW past to make new maps, yet I feel like the pace of these maps that leverage said assets is way slower than I'd like.
Kinda funny how all the Venture trailers are like "oh yeah, Petra....oh yeah, deathmatch even! that's like 6 or 7 never seen maps right there"
And my last ramble just off the top of my head from the above is pondering if deathmatch might be kinda fun to dick around in again since they did the tank rebalance thing a year ago, I never really went back after Doom got tank'd and Roadhog squatted in every game even moreso than in OW1

Don't think putting Venture in comp on day one is a good idea, but I guess we'll have to see how it goes.
I'm expecting Clash to be pretty ass considering how badly people played Push for so long and how badly they still play Flashpoint
Also pretty doomer-y on adding more modes when they already have too many modes but the maybe-possibly-happening-in-the-future potential "map voting" system would help I guess(ofc given their timelines that's probably not happening for 4+ seasons since it's still a hypothetical)

This was a cute trailer. Wish it had the information on who created this animated short.
I really really dig the art in this. Venture's design is so sick
Venture would have the brain freeze emote.
I have high hopes for Clash as, imo, its one of the simpler game modes. You're funneled from point to point in effectively a straight line, there's only so many ways that can go wrong. I'm sure players will find those ways, but I'm hopeful for now. Those hopes can be shattered by the end of the week after getting a feel for the mode, myself, and my teammates in it.
I welcome more modes personally. OW and its heroes are so dynamic that more modes, imo, offer more opportunities for other heroes to shine that simply won't/aren't on other maps. I don't think at this moment I'd play Ana at all outside of payload maps.

Tracer (too soon to tell). Nothing major over last season except some more venture brawl comp.

Kiri, Orisa, Tracer are at the top, Most others are good to ok, Then you have Mercy, LF, Junkrat, Hanzo that are bottom of the barrel heroes.
Only significant change to it I'd expect anytime soon is Venture replacing Tracer for some players. Venture is the only hero they've added to the game imo that can take her place for what she does/offers.
Either way expect Venture to be up there, and for good reason they're an incredible hero.
I'm hoping for more and more modes and maps for modes that aren't escort/hybrid. As long as they're not ass like the 2 capture point ones.
Hanzo got absolutely shafted.

Finally a season where the ultimate bundle skins are mid so I can just buy the regular battle pass. 😩

Very little XP can be earned from weekly challenges now. Also to get 5 of them completed it forces you to finish the 30 competitive games or 20 games queued as all roles. Even if you get the streak of 5 weekly challenges finished it's only 5 BP tiers now. A terrible change.
I should have played a little bit more last week... the 1 gold missing is from buying that 1 gold skin (that I actually use) lol
The second gun customization option on my Orisa mythic is now locked and the store says I'm stage 3 out of 4 even though I finished that pass. Cool.
Damn, I really hate playing against Orisa and Kiriko. Sigh.

Clash is fun, Don't understand why its not role queue.
They can be bought individually for $19 through the hero gallery.
