Just got the update, hopped into my main warmup mode and started playing. Oh, it’s 6v6 now? Cool. Oh, on certain maps there’s a character switch without being eliminated? Ok…
Oh, starting off with two unlocked and random perks is gone? Maybe I have to stay alive long enough to unlock them? Nope, they’re just gone.
One of the reasons I loved Mystery Heroes is the randomized perks. Not only are you getting a random hero, but you could also get a combination of perks you normally wouldn’t choose.
I’d love to be mistaken, but I stayed alive long enough to Ult twice with D.Va and didn’t get a perk. Lame. This just feels bad. Please revert.

Mystery Heroes Updates
We’ve made a few adjustments to Mystery Heroes to help keep the mode’s casual pace intact while mitigating some of the more extreme pain points it’s had in the past. A lot of players check out Mystery Heroes on a daily basis, and we really appreciate all the feedback we’ve gotten around the mode. We look forward to getting your thoughts on these changes!
Why couldn’t they just leave MH alone.. it was fine the way it was

Blizzard identified that MH wasn’t broken, so naturally, that means they had to fix it.
Task failed successfully.

MH is my main mode that I play. I don’t mind they made it 6v6 i don’t have an issue with that. But why the hell did they take perks away? They could have tweaked it where you dont get 3 of the same tank/dps/support.
Than put it back in Comp. I want to punch whatever twink decided the new changes were needed. I want to punch them sooooooooo hard in the throat than break their hands uggg

Isn’t that just classic MH?

Not really no. MH was 5v5 never 6v6 which I dont mind that change.. but why out of all modes u can play did they take perks away? Perks were added into MH just like the rest but now u can’t have perks in there?
Is this their way of trying to appeal to others.
Don’t want to deal with them pesky perks come to MH.
Don’t want to deal with the constant payload slop maps that players vote for.. Come to MH where u dont get to choose the map. (which they removed the map voting last season was happy about it")
They could have just left the perks there. I don’t mind getting whatever random perk in MH.
They already screwed stadium.. do they have to screw my MH next

I don’t mind 6v6 but really why did they get rid of perks? It was a great way to try out different heroes and styles.
Why are they once again fixing something that wasn’t broken?

Loved MH the way it was. Not a fan of the changes. Wish I would’ve played a couple matches before I bought the battlepass :\

I love that it’s 6v6 now and that there’s no map voting. However, I think that the perks should stay in the mode, but not randomized: ideally, you would spawn in with both perk points available to be spent, similar to Escort’s extra rounds. This would give us the full Overwatch experience and let us gain general knowledge about perks available to all the heroes.
P.S. All the open queue modes should be moved to the 6v6 ruleset.
P.P.S. Max2T please and no dupes.

No randomized is better. MH u should never pick anything. You get what you get and you make it work.
The only thing they should have truly tweaked is making it where u dont get 3 of the same character. They fixed it one time when it was comp u got max 2 tanks in ur group and they made where u dont get 3 of the same character. Thats all they needed to change. I dont mind it going to 6v6 and they took away the map voting last season which I was happy about.

Stylistically and conceptually it fits like a glove. However, from the perspective of a fun gameplay loop, being able to select your own perks is better imo.

I also prefer the perks to be random

bring back perks, 6v6 is fine by me, bring back map voting or get flashpoint out of the game.

Adding my voice to this thread, please bring back MH random perks! It feels so empty without

When perks were first introduced to mystery heroes it was a lot to learn given the frequent switching of characters. I could see why they want to remove that for casual players. For us that play this as our main mode it’s not a great change though. It really adds fun variety to each match and it doesn’t take long to quickly check which perks you randomly got. I hope they bring it back to MH. 6v6 is an interesting change that I’m willing to give a shot. Might make things more balanced with less beefy tanks.

Dude. Being able to, START a map, as your main, with ideal perks.. Once in a blue moon.
That was like ow handing you a golden ticket, and saying “Dont mess up!”
Now? It [likely] feels far from rewarding… I say likely, as my binds are all messed up and cannot be changed from default-
So I refuse to play until that has been sorted.
17gb update, making the game unplayable to me and a good portion of the playerbase for sake of controls alone.

I really prefer they bring back the perks imo…. but I also think 6v6 feels really bad. I have over 1200 hours alone in MH and it just doesn’t feel right. Maybe I just have to get used to it…? Who knows. I’m not enjoying it now though.
