- As Season 12 of Overwatch comes to a close, I wanted to give everyone a snapshot of the rank curve. Behold!
- you'll never guess who the most banned hero is
- If you scroll waaaay down in the 2.17 patch notes you'll find this little gem:
- Replying to @SrslyPaladinvery worthwhile though. few causes are more noble than tearing down the walls preventing people from playing games with their friends!
- You might have noticed your queue times in OW got shorter since mid-last-week, especially at high MMR and in groups. We made some big adjustments the matchmaker, but queue times were only a secondary goal.
- OG Overwatch! Even the matchmaking is tuned to be more classic :)Relive the thrill that started it all with Overwatch: Classic! 🔥 Revisit iconic maps, enjoy the original hero roster, and embrace the chaotic fun of 6v6 for a limited-time starting Nov 12 🤩
00:00 - new feature just launched, brand new Overwatch accounts will play a couple matches against bots! AMA
- Replying to @TreeckoRaltsBefore we launched on switch, there was a debate internally about whether tilt controls would make switch players able to have better aim than Xbox/PS. Seems like that didn't come to pass but it was certainly fun to playtest in handheld mode sitting in swivel chairs!
- You might have noticed a new section in the Overwatch Season 4 patch notes about matchmaking! Going forward we'll be including notable matchmaking changes in patch notes. But those descriptions are very brief so I wanted to explain in a little more detail what to expect...

- Eskay's video is excellent. I pretty much completely agree with all of the pain points she brings up. Most of it wasn't surprising to me, but she articulated a few issues specific to Top500 players in ways I hadn't considered before. Definitely took some notes!@SrslyPaladin have you seen Eskay's new video? What do you think of it?
- At this moment, the top-ranked player in the world is GM3
