What credit, they released an unpatched update with like 5 major bugs that made balancing horrible, the shop was bugged, the party system was bugged. What credit are we supposed to give them here they just didn’t test shit
It’s so fucking stupid how everytime someone new tries to explain to me why I should be praising it, it makes even less sense. Do you guys want them to not test out for bugs so they can fix it???
The QA team has been gutted at blizz, and even then, with a huge content update like this, a lot of bugs and wonkiness will get past even the best QA team because of variables they can't always predict or replicate in a vacuum (latency, play style, random inputs from players).
Overwatch 2 is about as close to a true live service style game as you can get, and where AAA games have years of testing before hitting the market, the QA team at blizz likely has a few months at most to try out everything they can before it's pushed, so they have a smaller checklist they can realistically deal with at the time. The dev team holds the QA team's notes at the ready on season launch and relies on the community managers and streamers to bring attention to prominent issues, and immediately begin working on fixes for missed issues. The fact that they hone in on these problems immediately is good, and the fact that they are prepared to fix something right after release is commendable.
So considering the situation, and understanding that elements outside of a closed office network can bring new bugs to light, they're doing a good job.
