So the Training map is good for when players want to practice with a character or try to get familiar with someone new. And it’s great. However, what stinks is that only one player at a time can enter the training room.
Can we pleas get a multiplayer training room? Either allow a group to enter the training room together, or create a separate map for groups to enter together.
This would serve multiple purposes. For starters, if I’m trying to teach a friend how to play a particular character, we can both enter the training room together as said character (hero limits would be disabled here, of course) and I could demonstrate techniques prior to my friend performing them. It would also be a good place to practice some combo plays with friends, such as a Graviton/Self-Destruct or Roadhog/Doomfist pulls and punches. Lastly, it would be a cool alternative to Skirmish for players waiting on a match who want to practice but don’t necessarily want to play with other human players who won’t be willing to serve as target practice. There can be an option to toggle multiplayer training while searching for a game in addition to skirmishes so players have more options.
All of the above are great reasons to either allow multiple players to join the training map together or to create a separate simple training map for players to group up in together. This would require very little work from the dev team, and would be immensely appreciated by the community. Will you please consider adding this functionality, devs?
Thanks!

pluggin this, I feel like this is an interesting feature they could implement and a good starting point before Quick Play then Competitive if the players so choose.

Also add a flying bot and a thinner bot that flies with it and heals it thanks.

Yeah, that’d help, but one step at a time.
I’m all for this, people could practice routine

Oh I am with you DaPope! Have it be larger map then the single training room. So you practice Moving a payload with a friend and robots would come to stall it to a point. I do like what you mentioned about being able to be the same hero. For example if I am helping a friend to learn how become a better Zenyatta. I can show them how to discord and heal. Then they could try it out. This would definitely be a great feature that Overwatch should do. I am also liking what Life mentioned. Have two different area’s on this map. Easy Bots and then Medium difficulty Bots in different area’s. That way Beginners could learn and familiar players could practice on faster moving but shoot back with only five damage. That way if your a Sniper you practice sniping and dodging from getting hit.

As much as I’d love an overhaul for the training map altogether, I’d rather get a multiplayer training map first before they work on updating the map(s).
I’m very much for the idea of this, I’d like to see it happen. It’d be very beneficial to the game.
Bump, hoping Blizzard devs see this.
omg this genuinely sounds amazing

Not a fan of bumping posts, but it did get me to see this. and I do like the idea.
I know it sucks, but these forums tend to get swamped by “fix character a they suck I hate them” threads so it’s difficult to keep actual helpful and non-controversial/game-breaking threads like this afloat.
