Any devs care to share this info? I don’t mean more options for the custom games I mean an editor more like what the devs use. I want to be able to edit abilities, heroes, and ultimates by specific values and not use sliders. I want to be able to edit anything I can think of. The current custom games settings are pretty limited in edit options even then it isn’t specific values it’s just sliders or turning something on or off.
Overwatch isnt open for moding like TF2 dude.

The devs have said in the past they want to release an editor for players to use. Much like the editors for Warcraft 3 and starcraft 2 they just haven’t mentioned it in a long while.
Probably not for a long time. A year+, likely multiple if I had to guess.
Overwatch is on a new engine so map tools like that probably aren’t super robust for public use.

I didn’t say anything about map tools I meant strictly an editor for heroes/abilities. The current custom games are just a temporary “editor” until they release one that is more like what they currently use.

Eh sorry misread, but my point still stands. Their tools aren’t robust enough for public use, that’s why they haven’t released them like that yet.

The game is almost 2 years old over 2 if you count the Beta. I would like to think they’ve made progress on a public version of their editor.
Not if they’ve been working on other features such as Highlights/replays and spectator tools during that time, which it has seemed they have.
The new custom games are pretty robust already, and I’d be more than happy to see it increased, but it’s understandable if it’s not quite their top priority imo.

Never, for two reasons. It would cut into their gambling profits, and people would quickly notice how incompetent Blizzard is.
