That sucks!!! She was supposed to be meta changing and counter dive this season.

Ya good luck learning brigitte, a character who needs to keep a close range with her team in order to heal consistently and do her job, in QP/arcade mode where the term âgroup upâ is a foreign concept.

sounds like blizzard is finally copying Diablo 3 season. where balance patches and heroes (though only necro was recently new) are released in between seasons.
it never made sense to me that a new hero and balance patches were pushed in the middle of a season.
the D3 community complained that it wrecked the season.

Thank goodness!!! Iâve been hoping this would happen for the longest time.
Now there will be a clear difference in seasons. It is too bad that major player changes couldnât also be this way, but I understand the difficulties it my pose to have two different set ups for the same character between modes.
To all the people complaining, while it may be difficult to wait⌠once we get through this change period, the gaps between releases will return to normal.
Maybe it give people a reason to start trying in QP now. But I still think cp needs to be issued for Quick Play to encourage winning.

Thatâs absolutely awful. I and probably a lot of other people couldnât care less about the âidentityâ of seasons, to me it sounds like an excuse to stretch the content.
Disappointing once again

This is a bit frustrating. I generally only play comp. I donât see a reason to move away from the 2 weeks thing

This is unacceptable. It already takes you guys way too long to release new heroes, the only content that really matters (the world could always need more heroes - already forgot blizzard?) and now youâre going to delay it even further?
Terrible decision. Hype levels of the new hero release is basically gone. Youâre staggering her release for different game-modesâŚwhat the hell.
Think about how crazy this is. From revealing the hero to us being able to play her, from ptr to quickplay to ranked it takes more than 2 months now? How am I supposed to be hype about a new hero if this is going to be the case?

What is the point of having seasons then? I mean, we already know that placements do absolutely nothing.
So⌠in your world, seasons are just a two month period that you have to play 10 games in to get a bonus CP?

Placements have no reason to exist and I would not mind one bit if they were gone. Theyâre waste of time.

This would make sense if they were to release a new hero per season, but they wont. Which means this is pointless. The seasons will still be without identity. The season after brig wont have anything new worth mentioning, mark my words.

What? We donât need a whole season to learn a new hero.

Great idea! It adds symmetry to the development and to each season. We can really delve into the hero during QP.

âThis is just qp we not here to win, we here to funâ 6 dps picks etc. This is qp. You never going to learn a new hero there becouse no ona take the qp maches seriously.

This is a massive mistake. Youre going to let a new hero sit stagnant and unplayed for TWO MONTHS?? Wheres the reason in that.

Even with all the negativity towards this late release, I doubt theyâll release her any sooner because god forbid blizzard go back on what they say or revert any of their mistakes.

This is horribly disappointing TBH. The barriers between seasons are essentially meaningless so withholding content to give them more of an âidentityâ is a bad idea.
One week out of competitive is enough time for people to get a hang of her mechanics, the true learning of her viability wonât happen until she reaches Comp. play so youâre essentially delaying people figuring out how to utilize her effectively. I could understand this decision if we were only a couple weeks from a new season but weâre looking at sometime in May now!?!? Waaaaaaay too long.
You guys have been so slow to react to broken heroes and new content and now weâre slowed even further. FeelsBadMan.

That is waaaaaaay too long. You donât need two months to get accustomed to a new hero; look at Moira.

This sounds awful. I was looking forward to how the meta would change because meta only matters in competitive, the new cool thing about a hero is how slowly they start changing the interactions with other heroes and how they make other heroes shine. No one takes QP or any arcade mode seriously, unless you do custom games for comp with Brigitte we will have to wait 2 month to see her. What about OWL? are we got going to see her in stage 3? basically until Stage 4 or until Playoffs?
What i Love about Contenders is that I can see how the proâs play on the live version of the game compared to the OWL that is stuck to old patches. Please please reconsider this, competitive is the best game mode of overwatch and making the new hero release of comp wait itâs going to make her not hype at all, all the top twitch streamers for overwatch just play comp and basically delaying the newest hero in comp also delays how people give more feedback of the character for more balance changes because she is played seriously in competitive.
