New Feature: Role Queue

Role Queue is an update to Overwatch’s matchmaking and queuing system that gives players the power to choose which role they play in games. In Competitive Play, players choose their role before finding a game. The matchmaking system will create a team that is comprised of two tanks, two supports, and two damage heroes. Upon entering the match, players select heroes to play within their chosen roles. At the end of a match, competitive players will return to the main menu and select their role before queuing into their next game. For more information about Role Queue, read the detailed blog post.

1.40.0.0

• Ground targeted abilities (Reaper’s Shadowstep, Mei’s Icewall, Synnetra’s Teleporter, etc) will now more heavily prefer edges over placing as far away as possible.

1.41.0.0

• The Arcade has been expanded to 7 cards, to better handle its increasing variety of game modes.

1.42.0.0

• Mei’s Icewall, Baptiste’s Immortality Field, and Sigma’s Gravitic Flux will now more heavily prefer edges over placing as far away as possible.

New Gameplay Option: High Precision Mouse Input

Enabling this option will allow Overwatch to use your mouse’s native polling rate when determining exactly where to shoot. Note: There may be a slight performance cost to enabling this option. More details can be found here.

Competitive Play Update

• Starting with Season 19, we are moving the beginning (and end) of competitive play seasons from the 1st of every other month, to the first Thursday of every other month. We will also be starting the season later in the day to better correspond with developer availability during the day. Season 19 now starts on November 7, at 18:00 UTC/GMT (10:00 PST, 13:00 EST).

• We will also be introducing a rotating, seasonal Map Pool to competitive play starting with Season 19. The initial map pool for Season 19 has 12 maps, with 3 of each game mode. Future competitive seasons will see maps rotating in and out of the pool, providing each season with a different experience and identity. Information about the current maps available in the map pool is available by opening the information panel of the Competitive Play card.

1.43.0.0

Armor

• Damage reduction per instance of damage increased from 3 to 5.

New Feature: “While You Wait.”

In this patch, we’re replacing our “Skirmish” mode with a brand-new feature called “While You Wait!” Now you can choose between a variety of game modes to play while you queue for a match

When in queue, players will now be prompted to pick from the following game modes:

• Practice Range – Practice your skills—solo or in a group—against training bots
• Skirmish - Spar with other players without keeping score
• Deathmatch - Compete for the top place on the scoreboard
• Custom Game – Select a custom game from the Custom Game Browser or create your own. (If you want your custom game to be available for everyone to play, make sure to choose the setting: "Allow players who are matchmaking.”)

All While You Wait game modes are optional and can be accessed by a single player or as a group. Only your group leader can select the mode for their team.

Note: You don’t have to leave your queue after a match ends to play another While You Wait mode. In order to access the While You Wait menu, click on the game mode you’re queued for and choose a While You Wait option from there.

1.44.0.0

Feature Update: Party Flex for Role Queue.

Unsure of which role you want to play? Now, party members who queue for any game mode with Role Queue enabled can select multiple roles, indicating what they’re willing to play in the next game.

Your other party members’ role choices and Competitive Play skill ratings may affect which roles you are eligible to choose, or which role you can play. For example, if you selected all three roles (Tank, Damage, Healing) to indicate your willingness to play any of them, and then two other party members choose Support, you will not get to play Support in the next game.

Custom Game Options

The Lobby section of Custom Game Settings has a new option “Data Center Preference”. This option provides the game creator with more control over where the game will be hosted. The default “Best Available” choice automatically provides the creator with the best quality connection available to them. We only suggest choosing a specific datacenter if no single datacenter can simultaneously provide the best connection to all players. This is usually only the case when the players participating in the custom game are located in different geographic regions of the world.

Spectate and Replay Updates.

• Added a new hotkey, “Spectate toggle 3P camera side”, which changes the shoulder you’re looking over for the player you’re spectating while using the simple third-person spectator camera option.
• Added a new hotkey, “Toggle normal / simple 3P spectator camera”, which toggles between the two third-person camera modes while spectating.
• Updated the death camera to quickly shift from where you were looking to where your killer is, to make it easier to see if you were killed by someone behind you or to your side.
• Updated the simple third-person spectator camera position for several heroes to have them cover less of the screen.
• Fixed an issue that caused zooming in and out while in the simple third-person camera to appear choppy.
• Transitioning into or out of first person no longer causes the camera to clip inside the hero’s head.
• Fixed several camera smoothness and popping issues.

1.45.0.0

New Feature: Hero Pools.

We will be introducing Hero Pools starting in Season 21 of Competitive Play. Much like Map Pools, rather than having all heroes available for play at all times, a weekly changing list of heroes will be available. The list will include the vast majority of the hero roster, with only a few being excluded during any given week. We think this feature will help keep Competitive Play interesting, as team compositions will change more frequently during a season.

It is important to note that Hero Pools is a new feature that may not last past this initial season. Throughout the season, we will be adjusting the types of Hero Pools available. In addition, it is possible we will also adjust the frequency with which they change.

New Feature: Experimental mode.

We’ve added a new card labeled “Experimental” within the Play menu where Overwatch players can try new balance updates, rulesets, and game modes that might be awesome or might not ever make it past the “Experimental” stage. Unlike the PTR, the Experimental area is not intended to be used for bug and stability testing. Players from all platforms will be able to test major gameplay changes, with the hope that you’ll provide us with feedback on your experience. Some of the changes we test will be vastly different than what you’re used to, but we want to reiterate that the changes we will be testing are not guaranteed to reach the retail version you’re used to playing. Experimental will not always be available: it will come and go as we have things we’d like you to try and may sometimes only last for brief periods of time.

Since Experimental is available in the retail version of Overwatch, you will be able to earn experience and progress towards win-based event unlocks by participating.

1.46.0.0

New Feature: Share Replays.

Players can now share their in-game replays with others!

A replay is shared via an alphanumeric code typically 6 characters long. The code can be shared however you want: in game, on forums, over social media. Another player can input that code and watch your replay. Codes are valid until the next patch.

The replay system has also received several improvements:

• Pin up to 10 replays to keep until the next patch. Unpin a replay to make room for a different replay

• The 10 most recently imported replay codes are tracked. This allows you to watch the same imported replay again without retyping the code

• There is a new note field for each replay entry, allowing you to add descriptions or notes for yourself.

• Assault, Hybrid and Payload game modes:

When both teams complete a round of offense and have more than 2 minutes of time bank then each team’s time bank is equally reduced until one of the teams has a 2 minutes remaining. Example: If Team A completes a round of offense on Volskaya with 4:37 remaining in their time bank, and Team B completes their round on offense with 2:50 remaining, then 50s is removed from each team’s timebank. This leaves the teams tied 2-2 and Team A with 3:47 remaining and Team B with 2:00 remaining.

• Achievements can now be obtained in Quick Play Classic under the arcade card (not listed in patch notes, confirmed by Jeff Kaplan here).

Patch from April 14 2020.

• The Overwatch team has opened servers in a new datacenter to improve the gaming experience for players in the Middle East.

• Added a “Patch Notes” button on the main menu and within the options menu. Selecting this button will open a web browser with the latest available game updates.

• Map Pools retired from Competitive Play.

• Paris and Horizon Lunar Colony removed from Competitive Play rotation (still available in other modes).

• Hero pools will now change each Monday and will be mirrored across the Overwatch League and Competitive Play.

Patch from 19 May 2020.

Feature Update: Improved Communications Wheel.

Added many more communication options so you can customize your interactions in Overwatch! To help you pick your favorites, go to Options, then Controls and scroll down to the Communication Wheel section. From here, you can choose from one of 26 different options for each sector of the wheel. You can change out your choices and swap around their positions within the wheel. Now, you can still tell your team “I Need Healing,” but you can also tell them you are “On My Way” so they should “Press the Attack!”.

• New options are now available to customize the Communications Wheel.
• Shortcuts are now customizable; pick from a set of 26 different communication options.
• Additional keybindings are now available to support more voiceover lines.
• We’ve changed how communication wheel throttling works in the game. You can use up to 3 communication wheel actions in rapid succession but there is now a delay between subsequent communications (similar to how Tracer’s blink ability works in the game).

Feature Update: Patch Notes In-Client

Players are now be able to read about the latest changes to Overwatch from within the game. We wanted to players across all platforms to have convenient access to this information, and it’s now easier than ever to stay up-to-date.

• Selecting the Patch Notes button on the main menu will display the patch notes in the client, and no longer requires a separate web browser.
• Patch Notes will show as “new” whenever a game update is available.

Feature Update: Custom Games Updates

• Existing Share Codes can now be re-uploaded with new Custom Game Settings (requires same original owner).

  • Developer Comment: When choosing to create a share code for your Custom Game Settings, we’ve added the option to re-upload the new settings to an existing share code (assuming the owner is the same). This should make it easier for content creators to update existing modes, even if the codes have already been shared. Note: One may also re-upload settings to a code that has expired (assuming the owner is the same), and the share code will become valid again.

• Skirmish can now override which Control Points are valid on Control Maps.

• Players will now receive an in-game notice thanking them for their cheat report when their report has resulted in an action.

• Added buttons to Control map dropships to allow players to reset basketballs.

• Play of the Game - Retuned a number of scoring factors to emphasize more active participation in fights.

Patch from 30 June 2020.

Open Queue Added to Competitive Play.

Starting with Season 23, Competitive Play will support both Role Queue and Open Queue. These will be separate queues, so you won’t see Role Queue teams playing against Open Queue teams. Open Queue will have its own SR and leaderboard, separate from the role-specific Role Queue SRs and leaderboards.

Adjustments to Seasonal Placements for High SR Players.

Beginning with Season 23, the maximum Skill Rating (SR) earned after a player completes each season’s placements has been capped at 3900 SR. Players are still matched with other players of similar skill, as we want to keep matches as fair and fun as possible. As each player participates in more games during the current season, their SR will slowly rise to reach a value that fully reflects their current skill.

Patch from 16 June 2020.

New Feature: Priority Requeue for Collapsed Games.

If a competitive game collapses due to a player leaving early, you are now granted a priority requeue the next time you queue to play. You will see a small icon on the interface to denote this status. When you queue for a game with priority queue status, the matchmaker tries to prioritize finding an appropriate game for you. This normally results in significantly lower times waiting in queue.

Patch from 14 July 2020.

New Feature: Career Profile Improvements.

The Career Profile page has been redesigned to provide a better, more streamlined experience when viewing player profiles. Aside from the brand new look, we’ve also added some new quality-of-life features:

• Game mode play time has been added to the overview section, so you can see exactly how much time you’ve spent in modes like Competitive Play or any of the community’s creative Workshop modes.
• Statistics are displayed in a tabular format, separated by “Average/10 min”, “Best”, “Total”, providing a cleaner, more readable view.
• In-game achievements are grouped by category, and can be filtered by what you’ve earned and have yet to unlock.
• Player Icons are now grouped by category and can be filtered by hero and owned status.

Patch from 04 August 2020.

Priority Requeue for Backfilled Games.

If you join a game after it has started to replace a player who has previously left, you are considered to have “backfilled” into that game. After finishing a game where you backfill, you are now granted a priority requeue the next time you queue to play. You will see a small icon on the interface to denote this status. When you queue for a game with priority requeue status, the matchmaker tries to prioritize finding an appropriate game for you. This normally results in significantly lower times waiting in queue.

Modification to High SR Grouping Restrictions.

To match the new maximum SR of 3900 a player can achieve after finishing placements, you can no longer queue for Competitive Play in a group with more than 2 players if any player in the party is 3900 SR or higher.

Patch from 31 August 2020.

Armor

• Beam-type damage reduction against Armor health pools increased from 20% to 30%.

Patch from 10 September 2020.

Shotgun patterns no longer apply random rotation. This will affect the following heroes:

• Ashe.
• Doomfist.
• D.Va.
• Reaper.
• Roadhog.
• Torbjörn.

Patch from 15 September 2020.

Ranked Leaver Penalty Adjustment.

Adjusted ranked leaver penalties. Penalties are now more severe and will lead to a season ban more quickly.

Patch from 13 October 2020.

Feature Update: Improved Profanity Filter

We are making changes to how the Profanity Filter works to give players more control over the types of words they see. Instead of a simple On/Off Profanity Filter, there are now three levels of profanity filtering provided.

• FRIENDLY – We’ll do our best to filter all words currently identified by our constantly-updated list as obscene, vulgar, or offensive. This is the most family-friendly setting.
• MATURE – You may see some obscene or vulgar words with this setting, but we will filter language identified as extremely offensive.
• UNFILTERED – Nothing will be filtered. Please be aware that you may see extremely offensive language. This setting is not recommended.

Along with the new three levels of filtering, we now will allow players to have different profanity filter settings for each communication channel. These channels include:

• GENERAL CHAT
• MATCH CHAT
• TEAM CHAT
• PARTY CHAT
• WHISPER

As an example, you could use the stronger FRIENDLY profanity filter option for more public channels such as GENERAL CHAT or MATCH CHAT, but use the MATURE option for the more private PARTY CHAT.

PLEASE NOTE: Using Any of the profanity filters doesn’t make it okay for players to use offensive language, and we encourage you to report these examples if you encounter them.

Feature Update: Elevator Adjustments

Elevators will now wait at the bottom of their track until a player boards the platform. After a short delay, the platform rises rapidly upward. Once the elevator reaches the top, it pauses briefly before returning to the bottom. This includes updated sound effects for more clarity.

Patch from 17 November 2020.

Feature Update: Minimum Latency Support

Competition is at its best when it’s fair. Historically, we’ve run tournament events like the Overwatch League and the Overwatch World Cup with teams competing head to head, in person, with local servers to provide the lowest possible latency and the best player experience.

In today’s world, with so many events and tournaments moving online and teams spread across the world, we wanted to provide a mechanism to ensure that the experience is as fair as possible, regardless of how close the teams are to the tournament’s servers.

The Minimum Latency option sets a target latency for Custom Games, leveling the playing field between competitors whether they’re 50 or 500 miles away. Players with latency lower than the minimum setting will automatically have their network traffic delayed to meet the minimum target, while players with latency higher than the target won’t have any additional delay introduced.

This feature is designed to work with a variety of network conditions, and will generally keep players within 8 milliseconds of the target setting.

We hope this feature will be useful, especially for community-driven competitions that want to Play Nice, Play Fair.

Competitive Update: Competitive No Limits

For the first time (Season 1), experience Competitive No Limits with placement matches, skill rating, leaderboards, and the opportunity to earn competitive points. In No Limits, there are no restrictions on hero selection.

Patch from 19 November 2020.

[Lephret-11935]

Thanks a lot for continuing this amazing work!

[Taiga-12540]

Id like to point out how far powercreep has overtaken Pharah and made her a joke pick over the years.

The first balance update happened Nov 2016 and let her fly forever
The next one in Oct. 2018 and was an overall huge nerf.
The final one reverted 3 entire damage back to her minimum splash

That’s all she’s gotten since launch. Meanwhile look at Soldier, McCree, Windowmaker, Hanzo etc, their lists are huge in comparison

[GreyFalcon-11737]

Well, if you want faster balance patches, so they eventually get around to Pharah…

✅ Balance Hotfix directly to Quickplay

[Needles-11351]

Lol at mercy, sym, and DVA. Barely a shell of where they started.

[Mozts-1810]

I’ll try to also keep a log of map pools since this is a thing now (no Paris in season 19 is the best blizzcon annoucement ever).

If it ends up getting too messy I’ll slash the whole section, but I think it should be fine.

[Jaakk0-2756]

so many brig nerfs… still ok.

[Mozts-1810]

1.43.0.0 is live mates!

[Tani-11647]

So I’m curious why the patch notes have allegedly most recently deposited Hanzo at 100 meters per second projectile speed, equal to what’s shown on Gamepedia, but the PTR notes now say it’s being reduced from 125 to 110.

Maximum projectile speed started at 65 mps, iirc. A 33% increase would have increased it to a rounded 85 mps. A further increase by 15 mps (~18%) is supposedly what we have today. Yet, now he allegedly has 125, and will only as of next patch (current PTR patch) be reduced to 110?

[TommySalami-11559]

Wow syms changes are pretty sad. She goes straight from launch into 2.0. Then Straight from 2.0 to 3.0. Then the balance team starts thinking it would be a good idea to actually start balancing her

[RaysofGlory-1937]

Good stuff! Its a bit depressing seeing these patch notes, but nonetheless a good trip down memory lane

[Qwazi-2242]

Ah, memories… Mercy was ruined with the 1.8.0 patch… invulnerability while ressing… it launched the hide and rez strategy which ultimately resulted in a horrible rework…

[DevotionX-2758]

Those mercy nerfs tho…

[Sombramain-2809]

Interesting tracer only got 3 changes in 4years. And their all relatively recently

[what-21551]

Thanks for making this! Got it bookmarked

[GameOverYEAH-1600]

Cool, thanks for this. I returned recently after a few years and I’d been thinking, “Wow, Roadhog sure is a LOT harder to kill, and a bit cheesier with hooking off of bridges and cliffs etc,” and now I see exactly what happened. Good for him. While I wasn’t looking the days of Roadhog being a healing void and an enemy ult battery ended. How grand.

[looks at D.Va’s changes]

Hahaha

[looks back at Roadhog again]

• Head hitbox size reduced by 20%

Cool.

[Briggy-11506]

Ty for providing this service it’s really helpful

Also hot dang thats a lotta nerfs to Briggy

[Mozts-1810]

Just a FYI, I lost my trust level 3, meaning I won’t be able to edit the main post with next patch, for can’t post links.

So it may be a little until I update with the next patch, until I get my level back.

[Slinkylinky-11538]

Dev Notes: Overwatch was becoming too much “This”, so we changed it to “That”.

[Nishod48-1522]

I think the addition of Role queue should be added to each of them, just to show the date that balance failed the most.

1.39.1.0 is the patch
