I don't understand experimental anymore

Why does Mercys 55hp increase need to be in experimental? Put it on ptr and decide if you want to keep it or not. Shouldn’t experimental be for big caracters changes basically mini reworks for characters or abilities? Like they did for tanks when it first came out. Not just 55hp, but instead giving Mercy ult a healing burst aura or giving moira a orb that gets rid of cc

Edit: Also this is’t a mercy complain thread it’s just a example

Actually it’s the other way around. PTR is for big changes, experimental mode is for small stuff.

Experimental was just an excuse to test 321 without committing to it.

I think the experimental mode should be for BIG changes

You know…to experiment

experimental isnt only for big changes. its just for changes that are easier to implement onto live. ptr is used for changes that cant be easily put on live like new characters/reworks.

Jeff addressed this yesterday…

Other way around.

PTR is for code changes
Experimental is for numbers changes

Experimental is basically just a glorified workshop mode
(Which is still a really really really good thing, but it has it’s limits)
