In my personal experience, the answer is “it depends”.
I’ll fall back on what I said about having an understanding of the bigger picture. Because live operations are very dynamic in nature, feedback can be weighted differently in different scenarios.

Perhaps wont fully answer the question but i would assume potentially 5-6 new heroes will alone shake up the game quite a bit to begin with.

I just want to know whether dva is going to get hard nerfed or not yet again into an unplayable state because OWL pros love to play dva and it bleeds into dev balance decisions, where they balance heroes around owl so much that the hero becomes unplayable outside of owl.
Aka, if we stopped balancing around unreasonable pro player gameplay expectations for rest of the game, that would be great.
But seeing as they get to play the game first and give their feedback on it… I don’t have much hopes for that happening.

YourOverwatch during OWL presentation gave the Greatest Idea ever • Tournament Mode for everyone to play NOT in the OWL
I hope one of the Devs paid attention cuz that’s one of the best ideas I ever heard suggested
Not to mention the ratio of new heroes relative to their role. (3 new tanks and supports, 2 new tank/dps/sup, etc…)
True! I mean for OW1 tho, (I am extremely excited about OW2 though). Just some changes in general to make the game more fun. Even through buffs, or changes to specific heroes. I’m glad this game is balanced, but I really wish we could get some more changes directed more towards the fun department.

I don’t think so, the devs have really gotten a good grip on balancing and the game is almost perfectly balanced for the most part. If d.va gets a nerf it might be minor. I wouldn’t worry though! I say this as someone who plays a lot of d.va!

You take that back! Rocket jump is the greatest idea to ever hit this game.
You just can’t handle a strong Russian woman raining chaos on ninjas with their mere ‘double’ jump.

CTRL + ALT + delete?
Joking aside, have they tried Tracer with only 2 charges on her Blink? What with the potential movement buff passive, two Blinks would at least reign in her being a bit too highly mobile in OW2.

we going to see any new characters or maps? i assume not but cant hurt to ask
looks at blue text
I’m summarizing that as “we pay attention to the feedback that agrees with what we think and disregard the rest”.
