In the original Overwatch (at least in the console versions, I’m not sure how it was on Desktop), when players loaded into a match they would start off on the character select screen with a randomly highlighted character. Personally I liked this because I don’t always want to have to decide which character I’m going to play in casual matches and I could choose whichever character the game had highlighted for me. In contrast to Overwatch 2’s state where it is just highlighted on Ana every time because she is first alphabetically. Plus, I can’t imagine that this would take more than half a day to change so it wouldn’t be too difficult or expensive to fix. I hope you consider implementing this. Have a fantastic day!
Pretty sure it is still random like it was before.
It still does this, it just seems to load slower so you select your hero quicker. In my experience.
It’d at least be nice if it’d start on the first portrait of the role you’re playing.
I don’t care that it starts on Ana when Flex gives me the usual Support, but boy do I get confused when I get Tank or DPS and it starts on Ana so I assume I’m supporting again and try to select a Support.
Ps4 and Ps5, always Ana initially highlighted.
