- Experimental card every now and then (basically PTR on live servers, changes to hero balance, game modes and more).
- Get rewards, experience etc. just like normal, so should provide more data for the OW team (PTR was infamous for not getting enough players).
- Not for bugs or stability tests, pure for gameplay changes.
- First experimental card in a few weeks, also for console!
- New balance strategy: faster, more aggressive and targetting the meta.
- Used to focus on stability, now pushing player base more often from the meta.
- Not the same as experimental card changes per se
- Season 21 of competitive: Hero Pools
- Experimental System to prevent players of stagnating on the meta
- ONLY IN COMPETITIVE, QUICKPLAY IS SAFE
- Hero pool rotates weekly. WEEKLY.
- Target is to keep the meta fluid.
- Team is willing to change aspects of this, like time of the pool if needed.
- OWL is excited about this and will implement this system as well (!!!!!!!)
- Huge anti cheat effort, will address this majorly in the next 2 updates
- Big workshop update incoming
- QoL changes incoming (for example: pin replays so it doesn't get deleted ; share replays)
- Major overhaul for Career Profile in Overwatch 2 ; will get a small refresh soonish for OW 1 (sort player icons, finally lol)
Think that about covers it, very exciting stuff.
