Hello all. For those of you who weren't here yesterday, we (the server admins) ran an event intended to be a fun companion to Blizzard’s official Sombra ARG activities, in which users could "assist" Sombra in hacking a #firewall channel by typing ./assist into that channel. While we knew our side-event would be popular, the turnout was even higher than we anticipated. We weren’t prepared for the influx of new users—and as a result the server crashed and the event didn’t work properly.

TL;DR We (the admins) weren't prepared for the situation we put ourselves in. We're sorry, and future events will be better planned.

Overwatch: First Strike Graphic Novel Update - Overwatch Forums

Hey everyone, I wanted to let you know that we have decided to cancel the release of the Overwatch: First Strike graphic novel. While we are grateful to the team for the fantastic work they put into it, we've ultimately decided to take the story in a different direction. The original idea for the graphic novel dates back to the early days of the game's development and came from our desire to tell the story of the founding of Overwatch during the Omnic Crisis. In the years since First Strike's conception, we...

This means it should be easier to hook someone who is sticking halfway out of a doorway, or behind a thin pole, etc. These checks are also used for the persistent line of sight check, so if a hook target moves behind a slim object like a stump or a lightpole, they won't be released anymore. - Hooked targets are now slowed heavily while they ...

New matchmaking update has came up into competetive in patch 1.10! (It's from yesterday)

Matchmaking Update - April 11 - Overwatch Forums

Hello again, everyone! Today I wanted to talk about a behind the scenes change to our matchmaking systems that just went live with the 1.10 patch, but first I should take a step back and provide some background information. As Jeff Kaplan noted in a recent post about smurfing, we do a decent job of quickly determining someone’s skill at playing Overwatch. The faster we can update your matchmaking rating (MMR) to match your “real” skill, the fewer unfair matches get created with a player with inaccurate skil...

Skin Neglect For Console Players - Overwatch Forums

As as a console player it is extremely frustrating for me and other players because we cannot get the cool skins like the Oni Genji and the new Officer D.va skin because we can only play on Console. Possibly some players could just log onto a laptop even if theyare a console player but unlike me and others there is absolutely no way we can get the skins. At least give us a chance at getting the promotional skins? Please Blizzard, Console players need more love

Overwatch Uprising Event Re-Enabled - Overwatch Forums

Hey everyone, Earlier this evening, our Overwatch Uprising event ended earlier than intended. This was a mistake, and we've already re-enabled Uprising Loot Boxes as well as the ability to unlock Overwatch Uprising-themed cosmetics with credits on all platforms. We're also currently working to re-enable the King's Row Uprising brawl. Unfortunately, the process of re-enabling the brawl will take a few hours to complete as well as a small update. If you are online at the time that the update is deployed, you will need to log out and log back in before you play the King's Row Uprising brawl again. Apologies for the inconvenience, and thanks so much for your patience! Overwatch Uprising will formally conclude in all regions on all platforms on May 2 at 5pm PDT.

Seeking feedback: Additional Reticle Colors - Overwatch Forums

A few weeks ago I responded to a thread on the forums asking for additional reticle options. So now we're working on some new customization options for an upcoming patch. We'll provide more details as we get closer to PTR. But in the meantime, we're looking to add more color options for you. I know many will request a straight up color-picker. While we think that's a killer idea, it's simply out of scope for what we can deliver on this pass. With that in mind, what color reticle would you like that's not currently available to you? RGB values would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Reporting & Penalty System Improvements: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20758356169

Reporting & Penalty System Improvements - Overwatch Forums

“Play nice; play fair” is one of Blizzard's core values. It’s something we took to heart in creating Overwatch and remains a priority as we continue to support the game and our players. This not only applies to the new content we develop and the balance changes we make, but also to the features we add or improve upon over time. We believe that our in-game reporting and player penalty system is one of our most important features, and it’s something we want to invest in significantly over the next year. To this end, effective immediately, we will be issuing increased penalties to players in response to verified reports of bad behavior. In Overwatch, that means anything from abusive chat, harassment, in-game spam, match inactivity (being intentionally AFK), and griefing. If you see someone engaging in any of these types of behaviors, report them. Players in violation will be silenced, suspended, or even banned from the game as a result. We know that making Overwatch a truly welcoming environment is an ongoing process, and this is only the first step. Over the next several months, we have plans to make additional improvements based on your feedback, including scaling competitive season bans, a notification system that will alert you when a player you’ve reported is actioned, and functionality that will allow us to more aggressively penalize players who attempt to abuse the in-game reporting tool. We also remain committed to bringing a reporting system to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. As console players ourselves, we know it’s been frustrating to not have this functionality on your platform. We are actively working on the feature and have many elements of undergoing internal testing right now. Our goal is to implement similar reporting options as are currently available on PC, and any improvements made to PC between now and when it’s available. Thank you for your vigilance, passion, and commitment to building a welcoming and enjoyable community and helping us make Overwatch the best game it can be.

D.va Rework ideas thread. - Overwatch Forums

Topic. In the current meta D.va is a top pick because only one thing: Defense Matrix. Reduce Defence Matrix. That ability can be really annoying is basically all that makes D.va useful so far.... Try to make D.va a more offensive tank? Maybe more offensive so her role won't be a DM bot. The current D.va is boring to play and boring to play against basically is her DM everything. This rework won't kill D.va it will just change her playstyle and of course she would still get countered by the same heroes. Any ideas? Honestly this may change Dive and let's face it: the current D.va is super annoying and boring. EDIT: changed thread title. Let's share ideas for a D.va rework.

Additional changes to Season 6: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20758826275#1

Additional Changes for Competitive Play Season 6 - Overwatch Forums

In our latest developer update, Jeff Kaplan shared a variety of changes coming soon to Season 6 of Competitive Play. Along with these changes, there are two more important updates planned for Season 6 that we didn’t get to talk about in the video: Players in Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond can now drop into lower skill tiers We’ve made some adjustments to how skill rating is calculated after a win/loss SKILL TIER UPDATES Players in Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond will now be moved into lower skill tiers if they cannot consistently maintain the minimum skill rating for that tier. After a loss, the game will check to see what a player’s current tier and skill rating are—if their skill rating has not exceeded the minimum for their current tier for the past five games, they will be demoted. (Players will never be demoted on a win.) Don’t worry: Competitive Points awarded at the end of a season will still be based on the highest tier earned that season. So, for example, if you reached Platinum during Season 6, but ended the season in Gold, you will still receive a number of Competitive Points based on your Platinum ranking. SKILL RATING UPDATES We've adjusted the calculations that determine how much skill rating players will gain after a win and lose after a loss. These changes should help address some of the anomalies players have been reporting, especially with heroes that have lower win-rates. We'll continue tuning this system and are committed to making additional adjustments so that players are encouraged to play the hero they feel gives their team the best chance to win a competitive match. As a reminder, Season 5 ends August 28 at 5PM PT and Season 6 begins August 31 at 5PM PT. Competitive Point rewards for Season 5 can be found here.

January 4th PTR Patch Notes: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20760768026#post-1

PTR Hero Changes - Overwatch Forums

With this latest PTR update, we’ve made the following hero changes: Junkrat Concussion Mine Will now deal less damage to targets farther away from the explosion’s center Mercy Valkyrie No longer makes Resurrect instant No longer grants a bonus charge of Resurrect The speed boost that Guardian Angel receives has been decreased by 50% Duration reduced from 20 seconds to 15 seconds Junkrat has been enjoying the flexibility his double-charge Concussion Mine provides, but it has now become a bit too easy to throw out huge bursts damage in a large area. With this change he can still dish out similar damage but he must now be more accurate with his tosses. Mercy’s recent Resurrect changes have helped in allowing enemies to have more counter play in dealing with her, but she was able to use Resurrect through Valkyrie enough to largely mitigate the impact of the previous changes. Additionally, we’re toning back the amount of mobility Valkyrie provides through Guardian Angel and reducing its duration to overall reduce the power of this ability. We will likely be iterating on these changes in the coming weeks.

TitleMid Overwatch Patch Notes - December 10th, 2020 TitleMid

blobbaptiste Baptiste
BulletPointOrange Immortality field health decreased from 200 to 150
BulletPointOrange Amplifaction Matrix ultimate cost increased by 15%

Blizzard Developer Comments:
To adjust Baptiste’s overall power for the recent increased effectiveness of his Biotic Launcher and Amplification Matrix, we’re taking some durability out of Immortality Field and increasing the cost of his ultimate once again.

DVaBunny D.Va
BulletPointOrange Mech Armor/Health has been redistributed from 200/400 to 300/300

Blizzard Developer Comments:
We’re increasing the ratio of armor to health that D.Va’s mech has to enable it to withstand more damage from shotguns, beams, and weapons with a high rate of fire.

ReinhardtSmile Reinhardt
BulletPointOrange Base Armor increased from 200 to 250
BulletPointOrange Rocket Hammer damage increased from 75 to 85

Blizzard Developer Comments:
The intent of these changes is to slightly bolster Reinhardt’s frontline presence once he closes the distance with an enemy. The increased Rocket Hammer damage will reduce the number of swings necessary to eliminate some heroes so we’ll be keeping a close eye on the overall impact of this change.
