Sure they could. They’d have to rewrite the code though, which is my point. Why the hell would they rewrite the code of the modern game to bring something back that they thought was inferior?
You don’t know how Experimental works? They do everything server-side. They cannot change the client-side stuff. There’s a limit to what they can do with it right now.
Well it depends. Certain things they can do without a patch, and some they can’t. Something like number changes and the like supposedly they can do, but something like changing the interactions of Mei’s wall they have to patch.
No, the point of putting Experimental in was to test potential major gameplay changes that they weren’t sure about adding, so instead of using the PTR on PC (which is for changes that are coming to live) they use this Experimental mode.
Also, unlike PTR, it allows console users to partake in the testing, but there is no way they can make changes to Experimental on consoles without going through the update certification process as mandated by Microsoft, Sony & Nintendo.
They said that they likely won’t be testing major gameplay changes in the future, more just smaller balance changes. I could’ve sworn Jeff said that in a post somewhere.
Oh dang your right not really paying attention doing this between deaths,but considering they were able to do this with hero pools theyd probably be able to do the same with experimental
