Man people are still going to be toxic as fuck in comp. I mean there are parties trolling people in comp just because people get more mad when there is stuff on the line. People stink.

I keep trying to find stuff, but nobody is helping =( so far I think;
Sombra
New Game = TDM (?)
QP = No stacking
Arcade Mode = not sure
New Map = (?)
omg these fumes!

I think the way sombra is designed is to reduce the effectiveness of the current high meta heroes. She really counters Rein, Lucio, Zarya alot. Whereas defense heroes are more of a counter to her.

Great that we'll finally be getting one hero limit in QP, can finally get some legit practice on characters you're trying to learn.

This will just lead to more toxic players, if you're gonna play one hero might as well do it for ranking points.

Let me rephrase.
I'm probably done playing competitive now. I'm hoping the "lulz lets troll" people go to the arcade modes and QP can be a tad more serious.
I don't like this at all. It's usually a fun little game or so when this happens, and you can always peace out.
Why would that happen?

Overwatch announcements:
Sombra and her legendary skins
New Map Oasis, Control/KOTH, coming in December
Quick Play will have Single Hero Limit
Weekly Brawls will be replaced by Arcade mode
Oni skin for Genji for playing HotS with friends during that game's event
Overwatch League for esports
Arcade mode:
1v1 and 3v3 skirmish modes on new map Ecopoint Antarctica
QP + Hero Stacking one mode
Mystery Heroes is a mode
All Brawls, will have various themed Brawls from past Weekly Brawls and new ones on rotation
You get 1 lootbox as reward for winning once in each specific mode for the first time
3 weekly lootboxes as reward for winning a few games
I assume it will work like Bastion's BlizzCon skin - link your PSN/XBL account to Battlenet and you unlock the skin.

I'd imagine laying his trap on her teleporter is a viable strat

I really want to see a 3v3 All McCrees 'GoldenEye Golden Gun' Brawl on the new Ecopoint map.
Yeah but you'll just have a bunch of people practicing heroes they normally never use so it'll be bad just in a different way.

Eh, I'm fine with it being at a lower level of competition. I just don't want to deal with the three stack that joins and all picks Symmetra, and it's been frustrating that you have to deal with all of the competitive/ranking meta bullshit to get a properly balanced game.

They are taking forever for this next match man its already half 9 here.
yeah, this doesnt fix quickplay at all
its going to make things slightly better in one way and then make it worse in others. if u think people are going to suddenly take it seriously like in comp then u have another thing coming. its gonna be people practicing heroes in a 1hl environment that they dont know how to play and its just going to make you angry, or theyre going to pick a crucial hero so you cant take it and proceed to sit in the corner and do nothing
its fine for it to be that way, but i can already visualize the posts that will be made in here after the mode launches. u might as well play competitive, unless ladder anxiety is a thing for you

OW hype! International Leagues, Sombra, new maps, 1 hero limit in QP, Arcade mode...
Sombra looks amazing but I hope she doesn't get nerfed into the ground before leaving PTR. I definitely see myself using this character a lot.
The 1 hero limit in QP will be nice but still isn't going to stop your team from going all DPS or using some other equally terrible comp...
Guess I have to install HOTS....

All the stuff you just described happens in competitive, with extra stress layered on top.

Any word on whether they're fixing the stat tracking for QP with this update? Or whether Arcade will have any stat tracking?
Actually will Arcade give less XP like the Brawl?

Yes, was confirmed at the panel. This is considered Mei's "home map". Which confirms my suspicion that Lijiang is not.

Holy shit Sombra's kit looks so good. Can't wait.

Sombra stole Lucio's thing...
Isn't HOTS struggling in player numbers? Makes sense that they try get new people to try it out and hope that some stay on.
Edit: Huh, I was wrong about reason. Tweet about player just happened when tech issue was announced :b
You can do that in the arcade mode. It's only natural for QP to replicate as much as possible competitive mode but without actually being ranked.

Brehs I was gonna hold off on playing Overwatch till the new content dropped but I think I need to play some Overwatch now.
learning in No Hero Limit environment can be very difficult because, once you move to competitive environment, you're thrown into a completely different and more strict environment based on what heroes you will have on your team and what will be on the enemy team. people say that you can at least practice your mechanics despite the dumb compositions in quickplay, but theres nothing to learn about genji when you have 4 other genjis on your team and/or 6 winstons on the enemy team. theres no "working on your mechanics" against 6 winstons or 5 dvas & 1 lucio draft.
ur never going to be put in that situation in a competitive 1hl environment. thats one of the positives of having quickplay be one hero limit. you can practice the format that you will be playing in competitive, so your skills can transition from one mode to another more easily. it should have been this way a lot sooner, but better late than never

It's gonna make some of the trophies a lot harder to get if QP and Comp are still the only modes you can get them. 1 hero limit makes Winston's Mine Sweeper really tough.
Could concept arts be added as final skins?
sweet Rngesus, look at these sneakers, coming straight up from Splatoon, hope it'll be available one day in game.
Yep
Ya, that design is Jet Set af
ppl gonna resort to boosting
