Thanks for posting the responses in a blog post so I don’t have to visit the feces ridden dumpster fire known a Reddit.

That was a great article! The Redditors asked a lot of questions I was wondering about like why some heroes got “silly” Perks and if “seasonal” Perks would be a theme in the future to will some heroes get Perk reworks. And the mention of a flamethrower weapon in the future?! That is exciting! :fire::partying_face::tada:

Also, you made a silly typo by repeating the question in your response:

Q: Now that perks are in players hands, what is your approach going to be moving forward when it comes to balancing and interating on them? Are you planning on radically changing perks in the future, and are you currently looking at adjusting the perks that are over/underperforming when it comes to pick rates?

In regards to Stadium, I’m very excited to try it. Can you shed some light on the regularity with which we can expect to see heroes added to Stadium? I would love to see what crazy upgrades you guys have in mind for Wrecking Ball.

Yes, it tells us that they did their AMAs like everyone else does, and the same way they’ve done the last 10 of them as well.

Perks did one thing very well. It got people to stop talking about Marvel Rivals on the forums. :slight_smile:

Perks are great but Stadium will be the best. Cant wait for that mode. Bring the fun to Overwatch! I am glad they are bring the changes I have been wanting for years now.

when there is a topic about “dance” stuff in there its absolutely 100% a reason to not take this game serious at this point. All I am saying is,. if that was something important to address than just woow…

Thank you to share with people that wouldn’t create accounts on dozen of social medias just to get some info about your game.

Your communication is appreciated.

And thanks for highlighting all the questions and answers here. Sometimes its hard to find it through the reddit AMAs. This was great!

Thanks for posting this on the forums. Y’know, that place where dedicated Overwatch players congregate and discuss Overwatch.

So glad that we can read Redditors Questions being answered.

remove perks from the game, nothing you do works, no pve, no story, no 6vs6, can you do something right for once? do a no perk mode, they are not making the game better and you have the stupid idea about ading more crap to the game, is not quantity but quality, and ow2 have failed on that aspect

Why do I always miss out on AMA’s which are an opportunity to ask burning and 100% reasonable questions of mine that no one else has, I tell you :sob:

Okay, well, I’ll do my best to share it here. It’s so hard to get attention on these forums.

Reduce the frequency of the On Fire voice lines.

By a long mile, reduce the frequency. We have to deal with it so much that it makes our heroes annoyingly out of character. Who else hates the fact that for example, Widowmaker is laughing and doesn’t want to be provoked and keeps exclaiming that she feels alive, when really, she’s a scientific experiment that made her literally cold and remorseless?

Make the On Fire lines only play when you hit the Blazing status (the harder to obtain level of being On Fire), or delay the On Fire voicelines to make them play at a later duration so that elimination lines and others take the priority. It is so hard to hear the rare, special elimination lines with On Fire in the way.

For now, I’m just gonna continue to use the “No” communication option to stop these immature heroes in their tracks so whenever I play as Pharah, my heat checks are negative instead of being confirmed and I am not on top of the world.

Meanwhile, please go to these forum posts to really spread some more awareness:

from the article:

when allies/enemies select their perk you understand what to expect on that hero for the match

are you serious?

I’ve been playing for 7 years, but even I find it difficult to learn the perks of several heroes, let alone understand what to expect from the enemy by the icon of the perk in Tab.

And what is it like for new players? Apparently the way to the game is closed to them at all.

Well, cherry-picking the easiest questions and not addressing the major problems in this game, as usual. That’s a reality you have been doing. Never addressing serious questions.

Cheating problem, matchmaking problem, option to complete previous BP’s, China FREE stuff? Yeah , forget it.

Sure, but it speaks badly of the playerbase, not the devs. People can’t be trusted to not drown dev posts in a tidal wave of crap, and it’s easier to deal with that on Reddit than on here.

It is what it is.


Anyway. Thanks for the compilation, Blizz.
