Hero 32 ptr or experimental?

Will the new hero hit experimental first or will they need to do ptr again?

100% PTR. If they were on Experimental it would crash the game.

Probably PTR since it’s not just a number they can tweak in the game. Jeff mentioned that Mei’s cracking ice wall couldn’t go on experimental right away because of that.

Probably PTR, that’s a proper patch.

I was hopeful it would come to experimental.

they can only really do number changes to experimental. Big reworks that change completely how an ability works or adding a new hero has to go on the ptr.

Probably PTR. Fingers crossed for experimental.

straight to quickplay TO HELP COMBAT THE CORONA VIRUS.

It may after it PTRs. But before it goes live.

I like the way you think.

we must help people self isolate, what better way than instant hero 32 quickplay.

PTR for sure because it involves adding new assets and mechanics into the game. Maybe they’ll push from PTR to Live faster than usual now that Experimental is available, though.

They said when announcing the Experimental Card they would still put things like “new heroes and New Maps On the PTR for initial testing” so no matter what everything new content wise is going ptr to not get proper testing :slight_smile:
