They haven’t even fixed the bug where the messages are VERY opaque and almost impossible to read.

I thought everyone abandoned hero mastery. Nobody talks about it, no new heroes have been added… it feels like a failed and pointless mode.

I don’t know about failed, it’s good for what it is
It’s just shallow without a lot of characters, and having them takes a long time. It’s the sort of thing that would have been better as a finalized release than a piecemeal release.

I know I did. I did the D.Va one and then I stopped caring about it.

They seem to were attempting to fill a niche with singe player content that was replayable to a degree. Via score attack, but that sort of thing doesn’t really hold a lot of PVP or PVE player base.

I agree and I feel the same way about it, or at least have a similar impression of everyone else feeling that way about it.
I think I would have liked it more and would have been cool if the modes expanded individual character lore. Better set pieces, or maps, little hero specific goals. Or just reward players with different things that are specific to hero mastery.
Also, I would have loved to have access to assets and hero mastery maps in the workshops.
Again, like many of the other game modes: always a potential but never really fulfilled.

The mode feels pointless, it doesn’t teach you how to play the hero, you need to know how to play the hero first in order to play the mode. Then it’s just about optimizing the route for the set map…

they made maps without any single texture on them, just blue blocks floating with the same npc enemy ripped off from the training ground? they really need a long time to make one single new course? then this game is cooked, developers are so incompetent

Nope
Nope
There’s 3 courses per character, and more complicated characters like Doom or Ball require 3 courses with greater effort put into them.
So yes.

aaron keller promised a lot of comics time ago, besides the boring origins for new characters nobody cares that only introduce more plot points that will never ever be resolved the only comic they did was the christmass comic that skipped like 5 years of lore. no real comics telling a plot forward
when was the last time we got a new map before that crap for the mode everyone hates?
maps dont have textures, illumination, unique assets, new sound effects, they are beaten in 2 minutes or less, they need effort to do that? cooked game
There’s more to map making than visual design you know?

and hero mastery maps have none of that, they are blue block floatting on a white void, with the experience developers have, the tools they already know, and having the source code and the freaking company that made the game a stupid new course every season, or three whatever all of them are small anyway, is that hard?

He promised comics.
We still get comics.
They outright said they want to focus on fixing maps and modes people dislike before going on to add more potentially disliked maps.
They just released Aatlis and are working on the Clash maps currently.
You have zero clue what you’re talking about.
They have to make 3 maps designed specifically to cater to each and every characters’ specific and unique gameplay loop, while ensuring they are fair, fun and challenging.
Please, try to make 3 maps for Doom or Ball.

You’re not thinking this through, like at all
a lot? instead of origins trailers and cinematics we get this cheap comics with only 10 pages with no ties to the main plot that will never be resolved
so they broke the promise of new maps every two seasons? fiing what? the problems arent the modes not the maps, flashpoint still sucks, a stupid staircase on a part of the map will not solve anything
yeeeeaaaaaaaaaah right, like they did with 2cp, they promised a rework of paris and then deleted the mode
yeah i have, i have worked with design tools, specifically for 3d enviorements
so? characters have only 2-3 abilities, they dont have to think much about it, a lot of characters dont have movement skills so making a very complex map is impossible, just a straight line from start to finish with bots to shoot
ups, they failed again
i have seen good things in the worskhop, for example a wall ride race with lucio on hanamura, a fan alone using tools from the game, not developer tools, did something better
so anyway in conclusion they abandoned hero mastery like everything they promised

You’re only thinking about the literal construction of the maps without considering how you actually play games on them

We’re getting comics
Keep whining about what’s in them all you want, we’re still getting what’s promised.
That’s not breaking a promise.
No point in adding more maps if there’s still others that need fixing.
Don’t think they ever promised that.
Aight go make 3 maps for Doom
Ok
That’s not Lucio’s gameplay
That’s a gimmick Arcade mode
good ridden I say, Once more show how overwatch team care little about the game… As you can see They gut out thing they don’t like and Just want us play nothing but esport of there “choice”
Dose not have to be this way…
on hero mastery the construction of the map is literally everything, they didnt invent anything new, any new feature or had to change anything to implement what already works on those maps, hero mastery is a glorified training ground, or a worst version of training ground
still not a lot,
literally it is? say they will do something to not do it
well stupid ow2 developers who have no idea how to make good maps, clash was removed from the game of how bad it was
yes they did and you know nothing about it so no point of keep taling with you, you are deffending developers without knowing anything
people in 199x with 64kb of ram could make maps in their house and the multiblillionare company with the best developers ever cant make 3?
wall ride is not lucio gameplay?
