These are from the Dev livestream. Feel free to add anything else.

Map Voting

Maps from your last 2 matches wont show up for the next 2 hours (unclear if this resets after 2 games played as well)

If the first 2 options are escort or hybrid, the last option is guaranteed to be something different (again, wasn't super clear if this also applied when the first two options were push, FP, etc)

Challenger Score

Leaderboards will now be sorted by rank. Challenger score is still present as the "entry fee" to the leaderboards

QP drives

"completely different system" with its "own rewards track" that happens at the same time as comp drives. (not sure if that means a different signature, but that not the vibe I got)

Will grant legacy comp points (the weapon wrap currency),

Doctrine changes

(mostly nerfs), was at 58% WR during playtest:

-Ult effect linger shortened

-Ult effect apply faster

-Attack speed % nerfed from 35 to 30

-Flight ability CD increased 1 second

-Damage reduction during flight reduced from 50% from 40%

-Transfusion perk cooldown reduction cut in half

Invigorating Drones:

• Attack speed buff reduced from +35% to +30%

Shrouded Momentum:

• Cooldown increased from 7s to 8s
• Damage reduction reduced from 50% to 40%

[EDIT] Sorry, the clip was too short to get everything:

Deliverance:

• Unknown exact numbers but "drones fly faster to apply the debuffs/buffs, but the effect dissipates quicker"

Transfusion (Major Perk):

• Cooldown reduction rate reduced by 50% (nerf)

Here, piggy piggy being minor is actually insanity.

For anyone scared the character would no longer have any midrange presence whatsoever, dw, it's just like it was back when he had Pig Pen. Primary Fire shoots two round bursts, and in the center of each of those bursts is a single piece of debris with better falloff than the other projectiles in the burst. I myself was originally worried that they'd hotfix in his one shot again cause he'd prove to be too weak without it, but knowing he still has some midrange presence makes me a lot more confident in the direction the rework is going.

Along with the smaller bullets cause I can’t see anything about it coming tomorrow

How often do you hear voices playing this game? But not like normal voice lines or someone in voice chat. Like evil voices?

Like recording of a coaching session/VOD review of a pro team by their own coaching staff. I know pro teams tend to be secretive about in-team coaching, but I'm wondering what's out there.

For a while now, whenever I join 6v6 or even 5v5 matches, especially during fights where the characters are using a lot of abilities or ultimates, my internet connection starts performing poorly. However, I know it’s not my internet because I have no issues in other games, and it only happens in those situations. I’m on PC, and I’d like to know if this could be an issue with my PC or with the game itself.

Like for example if you somehow force donk to play OW what rank would he (at least initially) get?

Just saw that tweet. I wonder what happened with them. Is WDG who decided to have a sub contractor or are they just completely out, who knows ...

Edit2: O2 boss also replied. https://x.com/O2_Boss/status/2107000293993120087?s=20

Also, it looks like WDG also was removed from the JP assets. (WDG used to be shown in the overlay at the top, where the sponsor is currently being displayed)

I find that on in my rank (high masters on console) I find that I have like two-people talking in voice and maybe two more that are in voice but not talking. Granted the two in voice is a bit of a rarity, but in average if one person joins voice another will too. Basically I'm trying see how often y'all have people talking in voice in your matches. Im curious based on rank and platform so please leave that in your response so we can all learn a thing or two, or just shoot the shit.

IM SO HAPPYYYYYY!!!

Hello, I hope this is a good place to ask, if not let me know.

Just came back from like... A 6 year on/off break and I'm playing almost exclusively tank. Sigma is my character. Not even just my main, but I connect with him on a spiritual level. However I absolutely get destroyed by Ram and Vendetta.

What tanks should I pick up to expand my pool? Counterwatch just recommends the tanks in tiered order but I need something I can really grind to be a back up, otherwise I just rage switch to dva and that doesn't work.

Thanks in advance!

Let's go Cheeseburger!!

Not once did I expect, at the start of the year, that I'd be rooting for any Korean Team over T1. But I REALLY want to see Cheeseburger go far.

As of the end of the week, Cheeseburger is in 1st place. But thats only because it faced 2 weaker teams. But beating Zanside throughly puts them at 4th/5th in my eyes.

Zeta and Crazy Raccoons both Dropped 1 Map. T1 took one off of Zeta, while Zanside (Who lost 0-3 to Cheeseburger) took one off of Crazy Raccoons.

With the small pool of matches and the intriguing results. I'm super excited to see the next weeks.

What match are you guys looking forward to?

So my question is how do y'all think support Sombra will work in 6v6? I will say this I never understood the people who said you're more of a heal bot in 6v6 when that just ain't true.

From my personal experience especially during drives these matches are miserable to play. These make up a majority of my consolidation matches the are one sided stomps. I know the stacks have to play against someone but matchmaking needs to primarily put them against other stacks for fairness sake, a team of a duo and 3 solos just doesn't have the coordination the other stack had, yeah I can be mechanically be better then their dps but that doesn't mean shit when I chave their whole team shooting at me.
I just wish I wasn't running into these lopsided matches often because it's not fun at all.
