Ye well the exp was a joke made my streamers putting in joke changes.
This is apparently not supposed to be a joke.
More like a nightmare.

Well yea…and the Mccree buff was hated yet it still made it to live
I think people should remember this - due to bug, not due to being op. Changes are probably going to come back, without bugs.
They still have to find the code that caused it. Easier this way than making an entirely new patch while letting the bug stay on live.
Really? Must have missed the Moira fade buff. Was loving the concept though. Opened a lot of possibilities…
Well to be fair, Hanzo being able to land storm arrows through shields is extremely powerful, and his storm arrows already were already decent against tanks.
We had an actually good Width change to D.va; but they actually bring OP changes in…
The 10% change to Defense matrix wasn’t even bad
but these changes are legit broken
Well we were given some hints that 2022 Overwatch was going to get interesting. But in all seriousness, as a software engineer I am absolutely befuddled on how this went live. They clearly aren’t paying any attention to testing
Could we possibly like, not balance this game according to streamer tossing out ill-thought out ideas now?
Maybe?
If I recall, most of these changes that went through (except the Moira buff and Rein buff due to never being in any experimental before) we’re widely hated by the majority of the community. It does make me wonder why they let the buffs through anyways.
From what I’ve seen the response to them was negative when they were previously tested (except for the haha bugsqhisher 9000).
Respectfully, I’d like to see some other changes instead.
I swear if this is what the CC’s were getting excited for im done
This is a Triple A game studio… too…
Yeah, I didnt understand that the entire patch itself had the bug in it. I thought they could just temporarily disable the Hanzo change or something and keep the rest but just not technically possible I guess.
To be fair, even 90% of streamers hate these changes
Ah that’s true, and they have done that a few times too.
So why were all the good changes left behind and all the terrible changes went through? What kind of balancing is this
It’s a small indie company.
Only blizzard thinks that players actually liked exp changes balance wise for real. And not because it was just wacky, not-serious fun.
AFAIR each of these changes was in an ExCard previously, albeit some with different values that we tweaked before pushing to live.
I’m no software engineer but you should still probably test your stuff before sending it to a live environment…
