this game has had 9 years of being snowball-dominated
with the win-more mechanic of ultimate charge
people have complained for 9 years for snowbally games
which are 90% of them
and 9 years later they create a 2nd win-more mechanic, perk points
well done
games will be even more snowbally now

I’M SO EXCITED!!! THIS LOOKS LIKE SO MUCH FUN!!! What an incredible update! I’m extremely excited to play with the perks!! and there are some fantastic other things in the patch notes!
“Competitive Points can now be manually converted into Legacy Competitive Points when purchasing Weapon Variants.”
“More skin-specific voice lines.”
“Emotes can now be cancelled mid-animation shortly after they are activated.”
I hope we get more Drives events soon!
Please bring back the abbility to buy skins separately in the hero gallery from Ultimate Battle Pass and Starter Pack bundles. This change got inplemented back in season 8 and got reverted for no reason. This is absurd.
Big fan of the new darker UI elements, hopefully they get to stay or we get the option to change to the darker Ui elements. As expected (for me anyway), the new perks system will need time to get used to, especially with it going into competitive. Overall, a good job.
yo blizzard. i love that boxes is back, but u should def do so they stand on the 4 item slots circles when u open them. like the old boxes had

“Boldest Gameplay Evolution”
The perks is bold?
Its literally just the Paladins gameplay lol.
The feature of upgrading talents on heroes was advertised as a PVE feature, which was scrapped when PVE was (and additionally, was not a mid-match system) - so no, this wasnt advertised long ago as people claim, but rather just yoinked from another game, like Blizzard is so fond of doing in various games xD
I like the idea of perks but it has actually created a whole new problem. I’ve played 10 games today so far, and in 8 of them people wouldn’t switch to help out the team because they would then lose the perk. in our party 2 dps and 2 supports as a team kept getting tanks that wouldn’t change because of that essentially throwing the match but where blizzard would just say they are not playing well. but in reality throwing is when you refuse to help the team,make appropriate team plays,team work and changed to team composition to work towards victory. a few even put in chat they would not change because the perks would be lost.
It would be better if you had 2 perks then change hero you would be able to have 1 perk still. or start like you do with ultimate’s but at 50% instead of 30% then people would be willing to change.
my first thoughts are that perks seem messy.
some heroes win big from their perks while some perks are completely useless (zenyatta hover). some perks are obviously better than others meaning other will not see real play (zarya minor grav perk>bonus secondary fire height).
selecting perks mid game, and inside a fight, is awkward. it would be REALLY nice if we could have preferred perks selected for each hero before entering a match, and then confirm that selection in the actual match.
its disappointing to me that perks don’t carry over between rounds in hybrid and assault. it makes sense why, as it could become unfair, but if both teams can have multiple heroes with perks that sounds like a fun, challenging experience to me and it is a shame we don’t get to see that.
to facilitate this, we should be able to view what perks the enemy has across the range of heroes they have played throughout the match at any time, including between rounds.
this is my first forum post and it is out of concern. this gameplay feature is an interesting idea but should frankly not be in the core gamemode before more testing has been done by us, your playerbase. if you care at all about the state of the game, you would have just released this as a new gamemode and given us a balance patch.
I am not looking forward to the future of overwatch, as you consistently have skipped important steps like testing on live. please bring back experimental mode and push it to all platforms so we can give you the information and feedback you clearly need on these features before you force them onto us.
also bring back horizon lunar colony and DO NOT make it a push, flashpoint or clash mode or so help me I will finally stop playing this game.
thank you for your continued work to improve this game, please do better.

So perks don’t make queuing for 5v5 OW2 anymore fun and you turned classic off.
Turn classic back on.
Playing Mercy in OW2 is especially depressing. How does she manage to be more fun even in classic modes with less mobility?

Only Thing I can suggest is make a button that is in the heros tab to say saw all new that removes the new blinker on all of the Souvenirs, Weapon charms and Sprays for instance that are hard to find what is new
With Bastions ‘Lindholm Explosives’ perk, it should put him in his Tank configuration. Makes more sense than him doing explosive shells in his Assault config.
looking forward to a new experience with perks. looks super interesting so far.
i don’t mind 6v6 geing gone. dont need that chaotic mess
The perks system is literal trash. This game isn’t even fun anymore. If anything could push me to Marvel Rivals this is absolutely it. Swapping isn’t even viable anymore as it’s a massive penalty now not only losing ult charge but also “perk” charge just so I can mid game have to select some random bs to keep up. Also I can’t imagine pulling out a 4v5 anymore which is insane because the servers are such trash that someone DC’s almost every 3-5 matches, let alone have a comeback. At least I can stop wasting $50+ every season on skins and battle passes. I hope it comes out of the salary of whatever smooth brained human had and pushed this idea

the perks are literally so broken. and this game has already been broken. somehow you made it worse. punishing people for switching characters mid-round by losing all their perks is trash. the perks themselves are unbalanced and trash. most of them are abilities that were purposely previously taken away because they made for unbalanced gameplay. and now they’re back and make the game miserable and basically unplayable. sombra got nerfed for a reason yet now she’s unkillable because she has reduced cooldown times and can SELF HEAL?
this game is broken. LEAVE THIS IN ARCADE MODE. it has NO PLACE in competitive play.

How about you do something about the cheating problem Blizzard?
It’s still unplayable. It’s full of cheaters, it is more unbalanced than ever before, and never even teams
One match was all I could take, deleted it, going to play Avowed instead that is 1 million times better and more fun game than ow

I’m pretty sure that only applies to boxes you can buy with actual money, but I’m not 100% in that. I don’t live in Belgium, though at the moment I’d rather live there than here.
