Hey everyone, today’s patch was the final hero balance update of 2020. As we approach the Holiday season, our patch cycle will be slowing down a bit to allow the team to spend time with their families. We will work hard to get an Experimental patch up within the first few weeks of January, after which point, we’ll continue our regular cadence of balance patches.
We still have a few patches coming your way this month, so be on the lookout! Winter Wonderland is just around the corner and we’ve got an awesome PTR coming up as well. Wishing you all a happy and safe Holiday season!

So you leave Mei in the trash can for remainder of 2020? She’s in such a sad state
Ikr her fan base isn’t high but what about all the people who spent their entire game playtime practicing and becoming better with this hero only to have her be a worse mccree in every situation?
I was expecting some hidden balance changes for her as a surprise since WW is an event where she’s the main character along with Winston

So, like-- No priority pass?
I guess we’ll get it when they get back…or after OW2 is released…
…or we get it with the Winter Update considering it’s literally on PTR right now which goes live with actual updates.,…
