That is funny when you loose an match many different params is used to calculate SR difference, but when you win you will just win a fixed amount of 100 SR, nice broken system.

I just need new workshop like Unreal Engine blueprints drag’n’drop system, to create custom games. Nobody untill today said anything about workshop.

Claimed and connected everything at 4pm, still no access

[Kaedi-11739]

Please help me out and not post tech issues, drop issues, or other problems here. The developers don’t monitor this specific thread for things like that.

[Romans96-2478]

Hello! I’m playing Ovwerwatch from 2017 i’m Visually Impaired and i’m Achromate.
Like ALL players like me (yes i know that we are only a very small %), i’ve problems to recognize and see enemies.
Before someone say something the Colorblind settings are completely useless for us.
So i’m here to ask again, some feature that permit so see enemies for people like me, and before someone could say something, who does not is visually impaired/achromate is always see the enemies, so it does not give any advantage to anyone, it only permits people with vision disease to play.
Thank you

[Kaedi-11739]

Greetings, Blizzard prioritizes feedback regarding the accessibility of their games and even has a dedicated email to receive that feedback. Please take a look at this support article for further details.

Accessibility at Blizzard Entertainment

[Romans96-2478]

Thanks i send an email, but i’ve already sent severals email to that address in the past (and long past), but nothing has changed and no answers, anywhere, has sent or posted. Maybe you are not interested in this kind of help

[Ninja-16912]

Regarding new heroes requiring to be unlocked in Overwatch 2, will the matchmaker in competitive play allow teams to be paired against each other with different access to heroes?
For example, if I haven’t unlocked Mauga, is there a chance for me to play against that hero?
