41 | Q&A | ||
42 | I'm just following up on regards to the discussion on one-tricks last episode and how they are more or less "out of their depth" by doing this in comp. I think a good way to counter this could possibly be to lessen the SR gained in wins when playing a particular hero a consecutive amount of times. Then potentially scaling higher the more successive games you've played them. So as an example of you win a game with Mei and you gain 25 SR and then play her for 10 consecutive wins. On that 10th win you may gain 10-15 SR. Then having it further scale to 5-10 for more and more games. The numbers could be refined more but just getting the idea out :D Love the show man! Much love from Australia, Jeremy | ||

58 | Q&A | ||
59 | Hey guys, Just finished listening to Overwatchers in the airport in London in the way home from our yearly gathering to watch Blizzcon at a friend’s house in Belgium. Just thought it worth sharing a thought we had while watching the OW World Cup... and it was by my wife who doesn’t watch it normally.. Firstly she was just completely confused by everything and said it is almost sick up inducing. Secondly, they periodically went to overhead view and views NOT first person and she said those were much more interesting because it was plain what was going on. This brought me to the second thought... how many sports do we watch from the player’s view? Football, Rugby, Formula 1, Cricket, Boule they all show part of the playing field and the overview of the team and tactics. Sure, sometimes we might go into player cam mode or car cam, but overall we watch sports from above and see much more of the field, layout of players etc. Why do we have to watch Overwatch from first person? We don’t watch Starcraft or Heroes or even Wow Arena from first person, why is it done in Overwatch? Is there a reason for it? TLDR: bring the camera out more! Show more overview shots. Much more! Keep up the fantastic work, Cheers, Bruce | ||

50 | Q&A | ||
51 | Just as a preface to my question. I have noticed just on browsing Reddit when people upload clips of crazy plays or a really skilled maneuver there is always a guy in the comments saying "you wouldn't get away with this on PC" if it is a clip on console.
I have always been a console shooter guy. I just prefer sitting on my comfy couch with a massive TV and a controller in my hand. I have a gaming PC and could definitely learn to play a shooter on there. I don't discriminate (haha) and I play games on any platform really. I would consider myself a "hardcore" gamer. I play games alot and play games anywhere they are available. I just have my preferred place to play them. So my question is for you "How do you guys feel as PC players (I believe) about console and PC skill gap in overwatch? Is it as big as people make it out to be? Are console gamers less skilled at the game?" I would love to hear your guy's thoughts! -- Luke | ||

49 | Sheldon J. My question is: I play comp, solo que, and I wish there was a feature within the first spawn camp to leave without penalty. For example, when I am talking to get a good comp and someone lashes out for no reason, or only to find out I am the only one in Voice chat. I wish I could leave before the game starts with out penalty and the game could “fill” that with someone else who may want to chance it. | ||

47 | Apologies if you've covered this before but do you have any tips for new players? I'm really enjoying the game but feel I'm missing something playing alone. Any tips for new/lone players? Many thanks, I'm enjoying the show. Adam from Chester, Uk | ||
48 | Just a question I wanted to throw your way - you've brought up the possibility of Overwatch events (uprising, lucioball, junkenstein, etc.) eventually becoming permanent events, and how it's weird some don't stick around for longer. That it's odd they come then seemingly go forever.
I was wondering if perhaps the reasoning for this was that having these events around would result in a more split user base, resulting in a worse competitive queue experience? I for one would love to play Uprising all year round, but feel like if the cost of that was another minute or two added to my queue time in competitive, then I'd be worried about saying I really wanted that to happen! What do you guys think? Greetings from drizzly London, Barnie | ||

48 | Hey ChanMan and Patrick, Overwatch has made some huge improvements to their loot system, but is it enough? I play a fair bit of Hearthstone and i think there are some things that overwatch can implement into their game. I'd like to see preorder loot box bonuses ahead of events, Maybe 50 boxes for $50. It would also be nice to destroy skins, sprays, voice lines for gold and then use that to purchase items that you'd rather have. Daily quests that reward a loot box would also be fine by me - maybe win 3 matches as a tank, etc. What are your thoughts? Thanks for the great content (and, just like Patrick, forever GOLD) _Brian (nogues27 on PSN) | ||

10 | Overwatch Patch Notes – July 27, 2017 (Doomfist, lootbox changes, highlights feature) | ||
11 | |||
12 | |||
13 | Summer games update! - Aug 8 to 28 - New skins (Junkrat / Mercy / Widowmaker / McCree, more) and loot - Old skins are back, cost the price of regular skins. Remember duplicates are much more rare now. - Competitive Lucio ball (with new rules -no enemy boop- / ultimate change -speed & jump- / Sydney stadium) Note: this is likely a template for how returning events will behave in the future. | ||
14 | |||
15 | |||
16 | Currently we have been play testing Roadhog with -50% damage taken while using Take a Breather, and allowing him to move at full speed while inhaling. | ||
17 | Currently on our internal builds Junkrat has 2 charges of his Concussion Mine. | ||
18 | |||
19 | |||
20 | To this end, effective immediately, we will be issuing increased penalties to players in response to verified reports of bad behavior. | ||
21 | Over the next several months, we have plans to make additional improvements based on your feedback, including scaling competitive season bans, a notification system that will alert you when a player you’ve reported is actioned, and functionality that will allow us to more aggressively penalize players who attempt to abuse the in-game reporting tool. | ||

61 | Q&A | ||
62 | (from a new patron) So I have been playing Overwatch as a very casual player for awhile now (PS4) and have been listening to the show for a few months. I enjoy playing Mercy as my main, I have never been all that good a FPS games (more that I have not played them enough to get good) and I actually like to help the team do well. I often get voted on at the end of the game, gotten play of the game as Mercy (which I did not even think I really could) and against all odds as far as I am concerned, got Silver in my first time actually trying to see what I would rank. After listening to how much Mercy mains are ranking much higher than their skill actually, should and that people are annoyed by people just maining Mercy I wonder what I should do. It seems like the random people I get grouped with (for the most part) like that they have a Mercy on the team but I don't want to be a one trick pony or "that guy" that annoys people. Would love to hear your suggestions. Thanks, Jeffrey | ||

64 | Hi Chris, I am a regular listener to the Overwatchers podcast and I think it's great. This email isn't directly related to anything you have discussed recently but I was hoping you might have a view or some information on an issue. Yesterday I was playing a few games of quickplay with some friends when I saw something in my chat log that bothered me, I have attached a screenshot. As you can see this person has a particularly offensive username. It goes without saying that I reported this immediately but I was left with one thought. How does this happen in the first place? Surely something that egregious gets picked up automatically, if Blizzard can identify if we type 'gg ez' then I would expect that a word like 'nigger' can also be recognised. I am no programmer so I have no idea how difficult this is to achieve or what other areas of code it would affect. I do think it's something that needs to be looked at though as this is not an isolated incident. In the last few months I have noticed an increase in the use of racist, sexist and homophobic language in game. I am based in the EU. I would appreciate your views on this issue and would like to know what Patrick thinks as he probably has experience of how Blizzard deals with this sort of thing. Keep up the good work, best regards, Rip | ||

54 | Q&A | ||
55 | Toby We started the 10 placement matches and had to face already ranked diamond and / or master player in our opponents team in all 10 matches. It didn't go to well. We won 4 ans lost 6 of the 10. I tanked / dropped over 400 SR from my season end in S4 and he gained over 600 SR over his season end in S4!! For sure I had 2 games that didn't go to well but 4 games I had decent team stats in medals aso. Do you think this is a healthy and well thought out ranked system? For me a loss of over 400 SR destroys all motivation to even try to climb again in S5. I took a penalty of -330 SR after S4 placemets which went 5 W / 5 L and had to climb all the way back up. With all the streaking situation, whether it is streaking in wining or losing the complete competitive systems seems broken, intransparent and unwealthy to me. Does Blizzard really believe a smart casual player is satisfied with that and willing to put in the time to grind up the ranking system? So after over 350 hrs I decided to take a break from Overwatch and stop playing ranked untill blizzard fixes it or makes it a fairer place. I played several games competitive before and this is the worst experience I've ever made. So, thank you for your time and keep up with the great work. Your podcasts are really great and I enjoy them alost. I am a huge fan of the Overwatch Pro scene and follow almost every tournament. | ||

I love overwatch. I played 14 years of World of Warcraft, and it was so hard to learn how to play Overwatch, with it's interface and control. Now I'm in gold and maining Mercy. The story I brought to you is that I spent my Christmas at home, but because of family issues, I locked myself up in my room, and played a LOT. One day I met a nice Ana and Tracer, and apperantly, I found amazing friends. The Tracer was a 15 year-old English boy, and the Ana was an italian boy, living a few miles away from me. We climbed the ladder of comp together, and the Ana and I already met for a beer. It's amazing how welcoming the community can be, I also have a russian, spanish, irish, turish friends, and my whole OW experiance have been something that really filled my life in a way, that's why am so thankful to the voicechat. Use voice guys, gonna bring people around! Thank you for the weekly podcasts, I love everything about it, and sometimes I cannot stop giggling on the bus. Your guardian angel, Vanda | ||

10 | [NEW SEASONAL EVENT] Welcome to the Year of the Rooster! | ||
11 | Overwatch Patch Notes - January 24, 2017 | ||
12 | |||
13 | CTF - Dev Update: They tried it but it didn't work out, then came back to it because the community requested it They wanted the characters to still feel like themselves, so they didn't modify or restrict the abilities The mode isn't 100% balanced and it's fine for the arcade. No plans to make it permanent at this point. | ||

27 | New portraits above 1800 | ||
28 | Floating Healthbars in Overwatch Spectator Mode on PTR! Hooray! | ||
29 | |||
30 | Developer Update | PTR Philosophy What's the purpose of PTR? (balance is an important aspect and feedback is looked at, but finding bugs is more imrpotant) Why no PTR on consoles (the PSN/XBL infrastructures are more complex) Why no rewards on PTR (would take development time from the live game) More changes coming (was this filmed before the PTR dropped?) - Sombra is not a "vicious assassin" but she hasn't been mastered yet - she might (almost) as well be support. Roadhog has to be balanced on both sides of the hook. Dva is doing too much right now, we like her mobility and infinite ammo. Ana is well designed, but needs pull back on overal healing on large groups. Note on feedback: it's important, but remember positive feedback is not expressed as much (or at all), and both matter. | ||
31 | Since November, D.Va is the 3rd most played hero in Overwatch. Roadhog is 4. Reinhardt is the 12th. | ||

17 | Kaplan on draw percentages on assault maps One of the problems we're interested in solving is lowering the rate that draws occur in Assault. The worst offender is Hanamura. On a bad week, the map can draw as much as 18% of the time. To put the number in perspective, Control maps draw 0%, Payloads draw 0% and Hybrids draw on average 5.75% of the time. Your overall chance of a draw in competitive mode is 5.45%, which seems more than acceptable to us. | ||

19 | Terry Crews visits Blizzard campus, gets Doomfist speculation running | ||
20 | What we know about Doomfist so far: Each Doomfist has wielded a powerful gauntlet. One of the Doomfists was defeated by Winston, and the gauntlet put on display. Widowmaker and Reaper tried to retrieve it, but were fought off by Winston and Tracer. Doomfist's gauntlet was used by a bystander against the Talon operatives. A Doomfist exhibit opened in Numbani on one of its Unity Day celebrations. Doomfist's gauntlet was transferred from the Overwatch Museum to Numbani. Currently, another Doomfist remains active, as he seeks to undermine the peaceful omnic-human relations within Numbani. | http://overwatch.gamepedia.com/Doomfist | |

48 | Brandi (AKA Jazzibel) Hey Overwatchers! This is for Patrick. It's the system, not him. Still learn from your mistakes and all, but don't let it bring you down! I was in the same boat as him. I solo queue, main DPS(Pharah, Reaper and Junk), but fill spots to make team comp better, and averaged mid gold last season. I had 5 wins, 4 losses and 1 draw, with numerous golds in my placement matches. I thought I did well. But I placed high 1700s in silver. What a bummer. But I kept playing, won 2 thirds of my games and now am in platinum. The same thing happened to my friends. They came in low, but are now back at what they averaged last season. As much of a downer placing silver was, the win streaks I had were pretty rewarding. And seeing all the confused players when I flank the other team was rather entertaining. It takes time to get back up, but you got this Patrick! All of you, keep up the awesome work with these therapy session podcasts. | ||

37 | Sean from Australia Hi guys, Appreciate the show - it's a great resource for folks whose partners and friends don't know what 'an Overwatch' is, let along want to chat about it. My question is what you think a new 'main tank' would look like? A lot of people want for a new Rein-like tank, but how could such a character differentiate itself? What traits would they have (a bunch of health and a way to protect allies?)? Basically, how could it be different to Reinhardt, but similar enough to fill the same slot? | ||

34 | Chris Hi all, I thought you might appreciate this story as it ties into the Pixar level feels from the overwatch shorts. My 4 year old loves blizzard games from heroes of the storm (he loves murky he has his own Murloc teddy that he takes to bed and a small knitted one he thinks is march of the murlocs) to WOW (which he calls his panda game because I let him run around as a baby panda using the bamboozled pick up from the baby panda in Org and SW). He loves overwatch as well and although he's never seen me play it or played it himself he will happily watch overwatch esports with me and he absolutely adores the shorts. He loves tracer and winston (he has the winston plush) and loved all the shorts. The bastion shirt translated extremely well to a 4 year old with him asking at points "why is he sad". So I showed him the recent sombra short and she's now a favourite beside tracer and winston. He also likes widow and reaper who he calls the bad guys. When I was putting him to bed the other night he was constantly booping on our noses. So the shorts also appeal to the Pixar level audience. Cheers Chris aka spikeychris | ||

36 | Dave What would you guys think of a payload mode where the payload starts in the middle of the map and each team tries to push it to their spawn. Maybe it would require one player to actively push instead of fight, but the cart can't be stopped by 'contesting' | ||

10 | Blizzard is making a statue of Metzen (and baby Winston). Concept art was unveiled at Metzen's going away party. | ||
11 | |||
12 | Sept. 13th Patch Nothing crazy noteworthy. Less Mercy Rez POTG and Eichenwalde's Payload installed a turbo. =P | ||
13 | Grammar is important: When the patch notes talk about a "legend", they're talking about a new infograph that explains the ranks. There has NOT been a new rank added. "legend", not "Legend". | ||
14 | |||
15 | How many people work on Overwatch? | ||
16 | The Overwatch Team (internally at Blizzard we are called "Team 4") is comprised of about 100 developers at this point. The disciplines who comprise the team are Audio, Art, Engineering, Production, and Design. We also have two full-time Business Operations people and an esports director who are part of the team. Our size fluctuated throughout development from around 40 developers to about 75 at launch. | ||

15 | Developer Update - Season 2 Competitive Changes | ||
16 | Season 1 Skill Rating Post Mortem Apparently many players have been unhappy with how when you win/lose you go up or down a fraction of a rating. 60 Skill Rating was in the Top 6%. They want to take the focus "a little bit" off of Skill Rating. | ||
17 | Season 2 Skill Rating 1 - 5000 scale. No more fractional changes. We will be moving up and down full numbers. Seven Tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, etc.) have been created around the Skill Rating. ... Each tier covers roughly 500 rating chunks ... Bronze 1-1499 / Silver-Master are 500 point chunks / Grandmaster 4000-5000 Jeff Kaplan said their goal is for players to focus more on their Tier. "I'm a Gold player" Once you attain a new Tier you cannot drop out of that Tier (Master/Grand Master excluded). Your Rating can drop below though. End of Season rewards are based off your highest achieved Tier. Diamond - Grand Master will be subject to Skill Rating Decay. Lose 50 Rating every 12 hours after 7 days without playing. Only to bottom of Diamond | ||
18 | Death to Sudden Death Control maps are unchanged. Assault maps still have Time Banks. Bonus 30 seconds are being given to all Point A captures after the first Round capture. ... They want to give a small chance for close Point A Overtimes to still pull out a win. ... If one team gets the 2 minute Bonus Time added, the other team gets Bonus Time added to their Time Bank as well. Time Banks are coming to Hybrid and Payload maps as well. ... Ties will only happen if neither team pushes the Payload or neither team captures the initial Payload point. ... Kaplan conceded that ties don't always feel satisfying but according to feedback Sudden Death really doesn't feel satisfying either. | ||
19 | Group Skill Rating Restrictions On the PTR at the moment they're testing a new system that restricts friends from grouping up if they are not within 500 Skill Rating of one another. (UPDATE: switched to 1000) | ||
20 | |||
21 | |||
22 | PTR Season 2 Patch | ||
23 | Notable Hero Changes Mercy Heal buffed. Genji can no longer dash through a Junkrat Trap and it doesn't deal damage to the Trap or Widow's Mine. Zenyatta's Discord Orb damage increase decreased from 50% to 30%. Attacks hit for 6 more damage though. | ||

9 | Patch notes: Ana buff, McCree tweak. | ||
10 | |||
11 | Jeff Kaplan just gave a ton of new info on Ster's stream (thanks /u/MattRix for the sumamry) - In the next PTR patch, Mercy's damage boost percentage is getting reverted back to what it was (instead of 50%). - They are looking closely at how Zenyatta feels in the PTR, and will reduce his total HP to 175 if 200 is too much. - The bug with Ana shots giving a friendly Zarya charge is getting fixed - They have 4 new maps being worked on right now, but note that not all of them may see the light of day - The are working on new game modes, but the first new map (coming "soonish") will have a standard mode - New skins are coming before the end of summer - For S2 they are also trying to reduce how long competitive matches take, which means you'll probably have shorter attack times at the very least - They are going to add the ability to see ally health bars for all heroes (but not silhouettes through walls). - They confirmed the hitbox changes, and said they were mostly trying to address how people could get hit when hidden behind a corner. They explained the reasoning for the big hitboxes, which is that in a game with such tiny fast-moving heroes and projectile weapons, it would be incredibly frustrating to hit those characters if they didn't have bigger hitboxes, making the game feel bad (and making those fast/tiny heroes crazy overpowered!) | ||

45 | |||
46 | "To anyone wanting to improve and cares enough to read" by man1ac (r76) Cliffnotes: - Think about what you're doing and how the match is going. - Do not die. Don't take on unfavorable engagements, retreat and get health packs (don't always count on the healers). - Defense is hard. Attack from multiple angles. If you're losing a point, don't trickle in, set up at the next choke point. - Attack: attack from multiple angles. Never go in alone. - Practice. Quick matches are fun, but if you want to improve, even quick matches are a chance for you to improve. | ||

15 | From Reddit: "The Sombra plot thickens...I sent a Tweet to Alejandra's voice actor Brigitte Kali and got a response!!" ... | ||
16 | From Reddit: "Thank you for making Ana a true Egyptian, Blizzard" | ||
17 | Note: loot boxes generate content when acquired, not when openned! Hoarding won't get you cool Ana skins. | ||
18 | Blizzard to reveal new details about Overwatch's newest hero at Comic-Con on July 21st | ||
19 | |||
20 | Other incoming changes: | ||
21 | - Mercy: ult charges slower (+30%) / can move while ulting / buff to right click (30% -> 50%). (tidbit: she's very used, but not huge winrate) - D.Va's Defense Matrix changed to work like Pharah's hover jet ("gauge" you can use) / Ult doesn't damage pilot!!! - Zenyatta gets 50 more shields (200 HP total) / Both orbs travel 4x faster / moves faster while ulting & buff to heal (200 hps -> 300 hps). - Comp mode getting 1 hero limit (on top of SD changes we knew about). Quick play doesn't change (hero stacking still possible). - Overtime changes | ||
22 | Full patch notes (tons of additonal changes) | ||
23 | |||
24 | Ranked mode stuff | ||
25 | Patrick's thoughts on Ranked (rant / conversation starter?): - Quick points: Sudden Death / Leavers MMR issues / Bronze through Grand Master - Ranking "big bang" (35-65 -> 1-100) - Progression vs ranking, and listening to the community | ||
26 | Source material: | ||
27 | Patch notes: ranked mode timings tweaks | ||
28 | Leavers and skill rating adjustment details | ||
29 | ... Follow-up on leavers games MMR not working (please read the message and the reply, CMs are ace: kill them with kindness :) | ||
30 | ... Follow-up to follow-up: it should now work properly, but remember "your rating depends on a number of factors (including your performance)" | ||
31 | Common sentiment on Reddit: "Competitive is just a mess right now." | ||
32 | Please remember competitive is not a ladder; it is a bucket. The majority of players are not meant to climb. | ||
33 | Discussion on how individual MMR is calculated in team games? (put there for the "individual perforamance" part, which I think make all better) | ||
34 | Jeff Kaplan addresses how MMR is calculated | ||
35 | ... “and your individual performance” - This makes me VERY happy. Might even fix the idea of team competitive for me. -P | ||

9 | Competitive play is here! | ||
10 | ... But on PC only; consoles next week. | ||
11 | To clarify skill rating for the HS & Heroes players out there: a higher values indicating a greater skill level (opposite of HS & previous Heroes system). | ||
12 | Seasons are 2 1/2 months long with a 2 week offseason. Placement matches will need to be replayed for each new season. | ||
13 | Nothing changed from the PTR regarding map rules. Control: Best-of-5 Escort/Hybrid: Point system for captured Points & Payload checkpoints. / Distance system still in if points are tied / SD for completely tied games. Assault: Point system for captured Points. ... If the first offense team fails to capture a point, the match ends as soon as the second team captures the first objective. Second round is played for tied games. ... Teams only have the time that was remaining on the clock at the end of their previous offensive round. ... If a team has no time remaining, they do not play an additional round. ... If either team had fewer than 2 minutes left on the clock during their previous round, their time is increased to 2 minutes ... When either team runs out of time, the team with the higher score wins the match ... If both teams are tied with no time remaining, the match enters sudden death. | ||
14 | Inactive details: What qualifies as "inactive"? Generally speaking, any time a player doesn’t touch the mouse or keyboard for 30 seconds—whether they're on the character selection screen, the pregame countdown, or in the main phase—they will receive an inactivity warning. If no input is recorded within 15 seconds of the warning, the player will be kicked from the game. Also, players who avoid combat for three minutes will be considered inactive. | ||
15 | |||
16 | Rage over Leavers in Competitive | http://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20745575028 | |
17 | Scott Mercer on how leavers are currently dealt with in Comp. ... Leavers in the first 30 seconds causes the game to not even start. ... After the 1st 30 seconds a 1 minute timer is started for the leaver where they can rejoin the game. ... After said 1 minute the rest of the team can leave, STILL receiving a loss but no leaver penalty. ... Says alternative where teams with a leaver don't receive a loss would be too easily gamed if a team perceives they're going to lose (tactical leaving). | ||
18 | Lots of suggestions pooring in on how to improve the leaver system for the non-leavers ... If you are in a group and someone leaves, than you still get the loss. But if you solo queued you won't. ... If the person who left was in your party, you get the loss, but others don't. | ||
19 | |||
20 | Torbjörn's Turret Damage is Being Reduced by 30% on XBOX and PS4 ONLY Come Mid/Late July. | ||
21 | Golden gun rate: confirmed the best players will likely get one at the end of the season. Is this too slow? Means most of us won't get anything at all... :/ | ||

7 | NEWS | ||
8 | |||
9 | PTR and patch notes! | ||
10 | PTR / competitive mode details: - Control maps: best of 5 instead of best of 3. - Assult maps (point capture): each team has 10 minutes, complete the map as much as you can. Earn 1 point per objective captured. - Escort and Hybrid maps: attack, then defend. Each checkpoint is 1 point. Also, no completion => push farther = win. Stopwatch without time? - Sudden death = coin flip for attack, 2 minutes to cap one point. Most people don't seem to like it. - Golden guns are purchased / equiped in the Hero Gallery, with competitive points. - Competitive points: 1 per game won. Likely get more at the end of the season. - More season rewards: player badge and spray for the season, animated spray for season's top 500. - Leaver's penatly goes to full season ban if you do it too much. | ||
11 | |||
12 | Reddit: "Comp mode makes no sense at all in its current configuration." | ||
13 | Kaplan responds to sudden death issue: - Short term. Timer changes. Long term, time bank for all maps (except control), should lower amounts of Sudden Death. - Sudden death specific: Then remove it completely. Draws are draws. PS: Statistically balanced now (or close to it), but perception is important. - Summer season will likely start with the short term changes. Long term changes will wait until fall season. | ||
14 | |||
15 | [Archived, old info now that PTR is out] Dev update: competitive play | ||
16 | New info: - The new competitive mode does away with the five categories. - Your MMR will be directly correlated to a ranks, from 1 to 100. - You will see all members' ranks, including the for the enemy team. - The teams' average ranks will also be displayed. - It won't always be perfectly balanced, but if you're the underdog you'll win more points if you win and loose less if you loose. - Assault maps will be altered so there is more back and forth possible. - You will see who's grouped in both teams as well. - Seasons will be named after northern hemisphere seasons (first will be summer). - Rewards will be cosmetic, and they're working on Golden Guns (probably won't make first season). - Competitive mode will be iterated on over the first few seasons. Reconfirmed: - Still planned for end of June. - There will be less sudden death (in the beta it was about 35%, which is too high), and will be played on the same map. - More details coming very soon (Tuesday 21?) - Also working on new heroes and new maps, as well as observer mode. - Would like to get a custom games server browser in the game. | ||

9 | How was casting first OW event? Future plans in OW | ||
10 | |||
11 | NEWS | ||
12 | How well is the game doing? | ||
13 | Week 1 (9 days) press release is out, with sales numbers: 7M active players so far (incl sales and PC bangs). Silly numbers: 119M hours played. 326M hero switches, 11M payloads delivered. | ||
14 | |||
15 | How about Reddit? | ||
16 | OW subreddit has surpassed the Hearthstone subreddit (370K vs 360K) | https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch | |
17 | HS Subreddit | https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone | |
18 | |||
19 | The game seems to be gaining popularity in Korea | ||
20 | PCBangs rankings in Korea by % of titles played by patrons: LoL down from 43.6 to 30.9, OW up to 20%. | ||
21 | ... "How Korean Plays Widowmaker" (a few weeks old, but pretty funny and amazing (and a concern: what if everyone gets that good! :)) | ||
22 | Totally anecdotal, but it was sold out in the store I went to in Japan as well (week 1 sales numbers were 54K, so it's still not a huge game here) | ||
23 | |||
24 | This show is doing awesome too! Fastest growing Amove.tv show ever! | ||
25 | Amove.tv CEO Garrett Weinzierl reports that the "Overwatchers" podcast has already attracted over 10K happy subscribers. Says one of them (that may or may not be named Patrick Beja): "Overwatchers is the best thing to happen to the world of Podcasting since sliced bread!" | ||
26 | |||
27 | From the devs | ||
28 | Kaplan interview with Eurogamer: new characters, balance, ranked play... - New characters will likely be released one by one. "it's about time that people are concerned with who Sombra is". Not every hint has been found. - McCree nerf coming soon: main concern is "[he] can absolutely shred tanks", so Fan the Hammer damage is going to be reduced. - Dva buff comming at some point: likely to survivability OR damage (not both). Less of a concern, she just could be a bit better. - Competitive mode still coming this month (being play tested). Will be more "skill based" (meaning you can go down in divisions). Three month seasons. - Some PotG are difficult to showcase, and they would like to make them more cinematic (difficult Widowmaker shots, dead Torbjörn...) - Mentions the tick rate issue. Many times it's lag, not tick rate. Server IS 60hz, client is 20hz. ~20% of the player base couldn't do 60hz client as it stands. | ||
29 | Widowmaker being looked at, but nothing definitive ("reduce the frustration factor") | ||
30 | More of the balance discussion on McCree and Dva (same topics) | ||
31 | Geoff Goodman says McCree and Dva are being looked at for possible changes (McCree nerf, Dva buff (but not damage)) | ||
32 | Said McCree's Flashbang is an important counter to Tracer/Genji but "its probably a bit too good at dealing damage to higher health targets such as Tanks and barriers. I don't have any concrete changes yet," | ||

50 | This was posted a week ago on the Overwatch subreddit by ViceVersa951. | ||
51 | Was most surprised to learn that D.Va's Ult gets boosted to 1300 if D.Va is boosted at the time of detonation. | ||
52 | |||
53 | Leaver penatly: when do you get it? Basically, you only get a count if you leave after the "assemble your team" screen, or before the "victory" or "defeat" screen. If you have too many counts in your last 20 games, you get the penatly until your number goes back up. | ||

12 | Info from the live facebook Q&A: - Ranked coming back with first update (mid to late June ETA, no promises), longer seasons (2.5 months w/ few weeks off), less SD (& on the same map). - Overwatch name came from Titan (although it was a different organization, more like a world police force). - Single player follow up title? They like the idea of coop. But it's obviously way too early. - New seasons of shorts and digital comics will be coming. - Guilds and clans a great feature, they're looking into it. - Please grow the beard back! - Kaplan: thank you so much to everyone ! And reminder: the community is what we all make of it, so please be good to each other and inclusive. | ||

|---|---|---|---|
2 | Color Coding: • Garrett • Patrick • Chris | ||
3 | |||
4 | INTRO | ||
5 | CreateCon | createconvention.net | |
6 | |||
7 | Interview w/ Geoff Goodman, OW's Principal Designer | ||
8 | Process: one question each, we cycle through as many times as time allows? Select from suggestions / your own. | ||
9 | |||
10 | Intro | ||
11 | Hey Geoff, can you tell us what a "principal designer" does on a game dev team? Do you oversee everything that has to do with design? Gameplay, abilities, maps, balance...? | ||
12 | |||
13 | How did the stress test go? Play a lot over the weekend? Enjoy the new blood? Why such a short test? Did anything unexpected happen during those 26 hours? | ||
14 | |||
15 | How has the Beta test been so far? | ||
16 | |||
17 | Design | ||
18 | You were originally part of the WoW team, where you helped design some of the boss encounters. Is there anything unexpected you learned there, that helped you craft the gameplay of Overwatch? | ||
19 | |||
20 | Every artist is familiar with the concept of having to "kill your babies", which means abandonning an idea that you loved because it actually doesn't work. Did anything like this happen to you in Overwatch? Or maybe you tried a feature only because someone on the team really insisted, and it turns out you really love it? | ||
21 | |||
22 | There has been a lot of discussions about the ranked mode. Many players (some of us included) feel it's a bit too grindy on the progression side, especially with a monthly reset, and that a "star system" wouldn't be enough to alleviate that. Is it something you're looking at? Are there some changes you're thinking of implementing? | ||
23 | |||
24 | Meta / eSports | ||
25 | Another concern in the current system is the fact that the best of three feels unfair if a team wins one round decisively and barely loses the other. Is that something you're looking at? Any thoughts on the most recent stopwatch variations (award extra point for completion) being suggested in the community? | http://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20743054193 | |
26 | |||
27 | A lot of people feel like Tracer is an issue in the current mid to high level meta. Is that on your radar? Do you have plans to address it? In terms of hero limits, we've seen a pretty even split on people preferring limits and not. We saw The GamersOrigin Overwatch Cup use a hero limit and personally the games were more fun to watch particularly on payload maps. You guys have had a strong stance against hero limits in the past. What are your thoughts on it currently? | ||
28 | |||
29 | Misc... | ||
30 | Who is your favorite character and why? | ||
31 | |||
32 | What would you say is lacking in the game right now? What is the number one thing you'd like to get in next? | ||
33 | |||
34 | Voice doesn't seem to be getting much use in game. Any plans to improve upon it/make it a more desirable feature? | ||
35 | |||
36 | Jack Raider: Have you thought about fleshing out the lore at all? There' doesn't seem to be much right now. | ||
37 | |||
38 | MB_Hambrick: What is the timeline for the first post launch content? | ||

9 | April 5 patch | ||
10 | Dev update about competitive play | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L28555oaDI4 | |
11 | Competitive play - not stopwatch! Two matches (attack / defense), and sudden death if needed. Control maps are best of 5. Five categories (Challenger, Advanced, etc), with 5 divisions in each. Except highest (Heroic), which displays ranks. Can't lose points in Challenger. Each win gives 20 points, win streak gives 20 bonus points. One division is 100 points (in Challenger only?) Monthly seasons... Way too short!! Even more grindy than Hearthstone. Issues with matchmaking (aka: Patrick sucks at Overwatch) Big issue with leavers | ||
12 | Symmetra nerf (shields down to 25, from 50) - Highest win rate, Patrick's in game story with an angry listener | ||
13 | Per character control options - toggles for shields, scopes, sprint, auto climb walls, etc. - Garrett digs toggle on Mercy's beam | ||

24 | |||
25 | 20 Minute Interview With Jeff Kaplan (by Th3Jez) Interesting points: - They have 2 new heroes they're playing with internally. "we're not forgetting about support" - Skirmish isn't a "real" mode so they're careful how they're working on it, lest players start asking for more features - They're open to the idea of having community created content, but the tools aren't there at all yet - They're open to the idea of VS PVE content (horde mode, Mann vs Machine), but it's like designing a whole new game - Exposing data is tricky: too much is overwhelming to new players (hence the simplification of F1, and those who want it already have it. - The new player experience is important: they'd rather have Bastion and TB not much used in competitive for now, rather than stomp new players - The beard is subject to wife whims and approval | ||

4 | Dev update: ranked play and more 1st comment on Reddit: "What did we do to deserve Jeff Kaplan?" | ||
5 | Big thanks to Beau Schwartz (AKA Gorath) | ||
6 | |||
7 | NEWS | ||
8 | |||
9 | Release date announced! | ||
10 | Release date: May 24. Open beta on all 3 platforms: May 5. Early access with pre-order or pre-purchase (for you and a friend): May 3 and 4. | ||
11 | Heroes - Tracer Details & Release Date | ||
12 | |||
13 | Dev update: ranked play and more | ||
14 | Top comment on Reddit: "What did we do to deserve Jeff Kaplan?" | ||
15 | The big one: will there be a solo queue? The issue is that the less people queue together, the more they get angry at their team. Blizzard is fine with players being angry at them, but if they get angry at each other it impacts the community and the game. | ||
16 | Ranked Play They're still exploring what exactly ranked play is going to be internally. Will try to give some sense of progression. 6 man queue is a given, but understand players also want to queue alone or with just a couple of friends. If they open up ranked queues to more than just 6 man teams, it can lead to hostile interactions. It's better to be angry at the game, at Blizzard, or Jeff himself rather than being angry at each other. | ||
17 | Matchmaking Matchmaking is tricky, there are a lot of moving parts in Overwatch that some other games don't have. Hero Switching - You aren't equally good at all heroes, the matchmaker doesn't know who you will pick. Friends - They want you to play with friends regardless of skill level. People Leaving Mid-game - Games may start on an equal footing, but if someone leaves, they have to be replaced quickly to keep it going. | ||
18 | Server Connections Players in NA, SA, and Australia have been seeing better ping times over the past week but as a result have had slightly longer queue times. Europe, Russia, and Asia players will see improvements in ping soon. | ||
19 | Beta If they had a chance to redo how they approached the beta, they would. Jeff wished they had called the beta and alpha to set expectations of invites lower. They aren't yet at the point where they can support everybody that wants in yet. Jeff apologizes to all the players who want to play and haven't had a chance yet. They will see what they can figure out, but worse case scenario the game comes out by the end of Spring. | ||

29 | JeffWatch | ||
30 | Jeff Kaplan on Attack/Deffend winrates on Temple of Anubis (before the patch that added the 3rd path): At newer/lower skill levels, attackers win (roughly) 38-40% of the time. At medium skill levels, attackers win (roughly) 40% of the time. At medium-high skill levels, attackers win 45-50% of the time At high skill levels, attackers win anywhere from 50-60% of the time. ------------- After the patch: As of Tuesday's patch Temple of Anubis is won 49.2% of the time by attackers and 50.8% of the time by defenders. The first point falls to attackers 76.9% of the time. | ||
31 | Jeff Kaplan on solo vs team matches: In the beta so far, over 80% of the games played had either all solo queued individuals or a maximum of a two person group. So the majority of games being played do not actually involve "premades". Also, when it comes to a 6 person team facing off against others, these are what the stats look like: 6 v all individuals: 0.59% of games played in the beta 6 v 2 person group as largest group size: 0.81% 6 v 3: 0.44% 6 v 4: 0.25% 6 v 5: 0.18% 6 v 6: 0.11% (the numbers for a 5 person premade look about the same) | ||
32 | Jeff Kaplan on rage quitters: There are changes coming plus bug fixes. --You won't get penalized for a loss if you are the backfill --You will get EXP for the match, including the win bonus and match end bonus --We're considering giving you a bonus "backfill" exp bonus as well It will take us some time to make these fixes as we are focused on other things right now. So thanks for being patient with us! | ||

10 | Patch notes: The Great Turret Nerf of 2016 (complete notes) | ||
11 | Bastion Configuration: Recon Maximum weapon spread decreased by 25% Configuration: Sentry No longer gains any armor bonus All changes to bullet damage made in our February 9 beta patch have been reverted Developer comments: We’ve given Configuration: Recon a bit of a boost to allow Bastion to “run-and-gun” more efficiently when needed. We’ve also made a significant change to Bastion’s survivability when in Configuration: Sentry; by removing the 300 additional armor, Bastion is now more vulnerable to attack, but loses none of its offensive power. We’re very eager to see how both of these updates play out in the beta. | ||
12 | Torbjörn Turret Turret bullet damage decreased from 16 to 14 Turret repair amount decreased from 100 to 50 health per swing Rivet Gun Maximum ammo decreased from 20 to 18 Alternate Fire Cost decreased from 5 to 3 Developer comments: Torbjörn’s turrets currently feel a little too powerful, so (to start) we’re taking away some of their power as well as removing Torbjörn’s ability to out-repair reasonable incoming damage. Torbjörn’s Rivet gun is also getting a small boost to allow for more liberal use of his Alternate Fire when needed. | ||
13 | In addition to the official notes: Torbjorn's Autocannon now appears to require time to lock-on to targets. (Very short) Bastion's setup times and reload times in Sentry are reduced slightly. | ||
14 | D.Va D.Va’s mech is no longer move- or aim-locked after being called down Self-Destruct Ultimate charge now generates passively even when D.Va is dead or her mech is destroyed Call Mech Ultimate cost decreased by 20% | ||
15 | |||
16 | Jeff quotes | ||
17 | "The initial beta wave was not mainly streamers getting access, less than 1% of total invites were to streamers. It was a perception problem." | ||
18 | "I think a few new skins should show up in March... some in April. Don't forget though, progression will be reset at some point so please don't get too attached!" | ||
19 | "It's still our intention to revisit Play of the Game tuning in the future. We have some ideas to improve POTG's and add more diversity to the moment." | ||
20 | From Lylirra: loot boxes will be purchassable with real money, not credits. | ||
21 | |||
22 | PCGamesN Interview | ||
23 | Loot "There is no such thing as a random loot system. At least not here at Blizzard, we’re very careful about what we do." More content coming, Legendary skins for all heroes. We'll be "blown away" by upcoming skins. Purchasing loot boxes isn't an issue with them as they're also able to be earned in-game. They may look into crate weighting to help you get items for characters you play more. Getting nothing for them sucks. More content will be added to loot boxes over time as long as the community wants it. Progression Response to the progression system has been good. It's what they were aiming for and then some. They want players focused on winning or losing, not farming objective time or kills. There is concern about the rate at which Mercy can gain medals. Ranked Late March or Early April is the soonest we'd seen Ranked come to the beta test. Beta They beta may or may not come down again. They certainly aren't ruling it out. "I think you can expect more players to be invited." Misc Not finished adding game modes. No plans to sell Heroes or Maps. Every Blizzard game is to be treated as a life service. No one-offs and never looking back. - Mike Morhaime, CEO of Blizzard. Still on track for a Spring 2016 launch. | ||
24 | |||
25 | More PCGamesN | ||
26 | They are currently working on ranked. Not certain on if it will make it for launch, and believe it will be very soon after launch. Hoping to test some version of it while beta is still going on. They've got two big focuses right now - new players (tutorials, ai) and the hardcore (ranked). The current queue system is called a rolling match queue - if no one leaves you keep playing with the same players. If in the rolling queue things get too one-sided for a few games, it will disband that match. | ||

9 | Feb. 9 Patch Notes | ||
10 | New Game Mode: Control On Control maps, two teams fight over a series of objective areas in a best-of-three format. When a team is in control of the round’s objective area, they will make progress toward capturing it, and whichever team gets to 100% first wins the round. Each round (up to 3 total) will feature a new objective area located in a different part of the map. Two Control maps are currently available for testing: Lijiang Tower Lijiang Tower was built in the heart of a modern Chinese metropolis, its busy streets lined with stores, gardens, restaurants, and famous night markets, where foods from around the region are available at all hours. The tower itself is home to one of the leading companies in China’s state-of-the-art space industry, Lucheng Interstellar, an organization with a long pioneering history that is currently pushing the boundaries of space exploration. Nepal Years ago, a group of omnic robots experienced what they described as a spiritual awakening. They abandoned their preprogrammed lives to establish a monastery high in the Himalayas of Nepal, where like-minded omnics could gather to meditate on the nature of their existence. Led by their spiritual leader, Tekhartha Mondatta, they took over the ruins of an ancient monastery and turned it into the home of the Shambali, a place where omnics and humans alike make pilgrimages in the hopes of finding a greater truth. | ||
11 | |||
12 | New Play Mode: Play vs. AI Players can now team up and battle against A.I.-controlled characters in our new, aptly named mode: Play vs A.I. | ||
13 | |||
14 | New Feature: Player Progression Progression in Overwatch is built around earning earning experience and leveling up your account. Moving forward, you will now gain experience by completing Quick Play and Play vs. A.I. games. Earn enough experience, and you’ll level up. Level up and you'll receive a Loot Box! Loot Boxes Loot Boxes contain a random selection of items that can be used to customize the look of your hero and express yourself in-game: skins, animations, emotes, custom dialogue options, sprays, and more. In addition to collecting these items from Loot Boxes, players can also unlock them by spending a new in-game currency called credits. Players can customize their heroes, view items they’ve unlocked, and spend credits to unlock new items in the Hero Gallery. | ||
15 | Progress carries over betwen regions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||
16 | |||
17 | Private Games have received many new controls/features | ||
18 | |||
19 | Balance Changes | ||
20 | General All healing effects now work on shields Quick Melee now pauses weapon recovery time while active Ammo will now reload in the middle of a weapon’s reload animation, instead of at the end of it Several adjustments have been made to in-combat audio: • It should now be more obvious when you are being healed by indirect healing sources like the payload or Lúcio’s Crossfade ability • It should now be more obvious when you are attacking invulnerable players | ||
21 | |||
22 | Ultimate Charge (All Heroes) Players no longer gain Ultimate charge from taking damage Ultimate charge will now generate slowly over time for all heroes To accommodate for these changes, many heroes’ Ultimate cost has been rebalanced Dev Comments: Allowing heroes to generate Ultimate charge when taking damage created several balance issues. For example, it was often a bad idea to attack an enemy hero if they were being healed, since that would charge up the enemy’s Ultimate and their healer’s Ultimate much more quickly. | ||

Crossfade allows him to switch between a movement speed and health regeneration aura. Amp It Up: Boosts the effect of his aura. Sound Barrier (Ult): Lucio pulses out waves that give him and nearby allies personal shields. | http://overwatch.gamepedia.com/L%C3%BAcio | |
8 | Mercy: The one with the wings. Angelic Descent: Mercy's passive lets her slowfall from any height. Caduceus Staff: Mercy's primary weapon. Primary fires a single target healing beam while Alt fires a single target damage increasing beam. Caduceus Blaster: It's a pistol. Guardian Angel: Select a friendly target and fly towards them rather quickly. Resurrect (Ult): Mercy brings all dead allies back to life where they died with full health. | ||
9 | Symmetra: Let's fight with MATH! Photon Projector: Primary fires a short-range beam that follow her target, the damage of the beam increases over time.

7 | D.VA: Pro StarCraft player from South Korea! Her Primary Fusion Cannons can be fired non-stop without the need to reload but slow D.Va's movement. Boosters allow her to fly in the direction she's looking. Defense Matrix allows her to destroy incoming projectiles in front of her. Self-Destruct pops her out of her suit and detonates it after a short time causing massive damage in a large circle around the suit. If D.Va self-destructs or her suit is dealt enough damage she will be forced to fight on foot where she is extremely vunerable and only has a small pistol to fight with. However if you Self-Destruct you will have another Mech to call in immediately after the old Mech explodes. | ||
8 | Reinhardt: Reinhardt's Rocket Hammer is his main weapon dealing sizeable damage in a wide forward-facing arc. His Barrier Field is the massive shield you've seen him wieling. He can't attack while sustaining it but his allies can shoot through the shield. His Charge allows him to move in a straight line quite quickly and more importantly grab any enemies in his path. If he pins an enemy into a wall with this ability it's rare to survive. Fire Strike is Reinhardt's only ranged attack slinging a projectile from his hammer which goes through enemies and damages any caught in the path. Earthshatter is his Ult where he brings down the hammer (to the ground) knocking down and damaging all enemies in front of him. | ||
9 | Roadhog: Scrap Gun is his primary weapon functioning like a shotgun. Short-range, wide spread. Alt-fire fires a shrapnel ball that goes further and detonates fragging the area when it explodes. Take a Breather allows Roadhog to heal over a short amount of time. Chain Hook makes Roadhog the Stitches/Pudge of Overwatch allowing his to bring enemies in close. Whole Hog is his ultimate turning his Scrap Gun into a devastating crank-powered gattling gun. For it's duration the shrapnel stream knocks back enemies hit. | ||
10 | Winston: Tesla Cannon is Winston's short-range primary weapon, firing an electric stream as then trigger is held down. Jump Pack gives him some of the most fun movement in Overwatch. A long boost jump that also damages and staggers enemies caught in his landing zone. Barrier Projecter gives Winston great utility to assist his team placing a large bubble shield in an area that absords a large amount of damage before being destroyed and allows allies to attack from inside it's protection. Primal Rage is his Ult where he basically goes berserk gaining much more health, damage, and a shorter Jump Pack cooldown. | ||
11 | Zarya: Particle Cannon lets Zarya fire a short-range channeled beam or Alt-fire an explosive charge that does damage to multiple enemies near the explosion. Her Particle Barrier gives her a personal shield that absorbs incoming attacks which also cause her Particle Cannon to do more damage and increase the width of it's beam. Projected Barrier works like Particle Barrier but can be placed on allies while still boosting Zarya's Cannon for damage absorbed. Graviton Surge is her Ult which creates a large circular area that pulls in enemies, dealing damage, and essentially traps them making them very easy to kill. | ||

14 | News | ||
15 | 2 Dev Updates since last show | ||
16 | Additional Heroes and Maps | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKG8Yx6F7uc | |
17 | Kaplan said that yes, they do have more ideas for additional heroes and maps. These heroes and maps will be patched in for free. | ||
18 | Some of the new heroes are already being hinted at through easter eggs in the game. | ||
19 | |||
20 | Progression and Rewards System | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnkF7hdUYhU | |
21 | They've had 2 systems already and they have both been cut (total failures as put by Kaplan). | ||
22 | One system was a talent system similar to WoW/Heroes where you would have to level up your heroes to customize them. Example given of Reaper where he could go into Wraith Form and heal to full with a certain talent. | ||
23 | The second was focused on cosmetic rewards. Every Hero had a level and playing games would give you XP (max level 20). You would basically unlock cosmetic items for each hero through these levels. Kaplan said that this system encouraged players not to switch Heroes when they should as they were trying to level up to get their next cosmetic item. | ||
24 | Many items were made as well as sprays. | ||
25 | Beta may not return until February because they want to implement a new progression system. | ||
26 | |||
27 | Misc | ||
28 | On the subject of a Kill Feed Kaplan said they're not against it but they just haven't gotten to it yet. | ||
29 | Accolade cards are being balanced and new cards are being added like Objective Score. At the moment only Attacking teams can accrue an Objective Score and they're adding it so that Defense can work towards that stat as well. | ||
30 | Fire System being worked on so it's a better indicator of who is a threat/performing well on your own team. | ||

5 | (Say hi to Prime, the good Mercy Ult User on Anubis) | ||
6 | |||
7 | Defense | Tanks next week! | |
8 | Bastion: A lot of players' first love. Seems overpowered at first, but mobile heroes can easily outmanuver a sentried-up Bastion and get the kill. Beware of shield-penetrating Symetras as well. | ||
9 | Hanzo: Highly mobile, bow & arrow sniper. With no scope a skilled Hanzo player can still pull off kills at close range. Dragonstrike is an insanely high damage Ult that can easily be avoided by stepping out of it's large but straight-traveling path. | ||
10 | Junkrat: Indirect explosive damage and traps. Frag Launcher lobs grenades that bounce around and explode when they hit an enemy. Don't get caught in an enclosed space against Junkrat. Concussion Mine can be thrown on the ground and triggered remotely. Standing on top as Junkrat allows the player to propel themselves through the air. It can also be detonated mid-throw. Steel Trap is a great tool. Puts a trap on the ground that deals damage & roots the enemy that stepped in it. Including boosting heroes like D.Va. Rip-Tire is another much-lamented Ult. The tire is controlled remotely, can climb over walls and obstacles, and be detonated on command causing massive damage. Oh, and his passive is that he drops explosive grenades on the ground when he's killed. | ||
11 | Mei: Very unique hero. Endothermic Blaster is a short range primary fire weapon that fires a constant stream of frost that damages, slows, then freezes enemies. The alt-fire shoots a longer range bolt of ice. Cryo-Freeze is basically an ice block. Mei heals while inside and cannot be damaged while inside. Ice Wall conjures up a large wall of ice that obstructs line of site, can halt movement through an area, and create a bridge/elevator for anyone on top of it when summoned. Tip: This can be used against a Hanzo firing off Dragonstrike to make it aim much higher than the player intended. Blizzard is Mei's Ult. She throws out her little drone and it pulses out wind and snow in a large circular AOE. Enemies caught in it are slowed and eventually frozen. | ||
12 | Torbjorn: Justifiably compared to the Engineer from TF2. It's all about his Turret which automatically tracks and fires on enemies. Using Scrap (he starts with 100 and can only hold 100) Torbjorn can upgrade his Turret up to a level 3 Turret that has rockets and does obscene damage. Scrap can also be consumed to throw out armor packs that he and his team can use to gain armor which absorbs damage. Motlen Core is his Ult giving him a lot of armor and Scrap while also aloowing him to attack, build, and repair Turrets insanely fast. | ||
13 | Widowmaker: The quintessential sniper. Her rifle is a somewhat-effective assault rifle when not scoped and a highly-effective sniper rifle while holding down the alt-fire to enter scoped view. Grappling Hook allows her to pull herself towards any scalable surfaces, like walls, allowing her to get to hard to reach elevations. Venom Mine sticks to walls and ceilings and detonates when an enemy gets near. Great for covering your backside. Infra-Sight Ult allows her and her entire team to see the enemy team as bright-red heat signatures through any obstacle. | ||

6 | Stress Test This Weekend | http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/blog/19964704/overwatch-beta-test-weekend-november-20-23-11-17-2015 |
7 | Starting this Friday Blizzard is having their first Beta-test weekend. It will still be invitation-only, but many more players from the Americas and Europe will get access to the game during this period. The test goes through Monday, November 23rd. | |
8 | The map selection for this upcoming weekend will be limited to Hanmura, King's Row, and Watchpoint: Gibraltar. | |
9 | Blizzard is putting an emphasis on the fact that this is a stress test. They're very interested in how Overwatch runs on your computer, how servers are holding up, or if you encounter any bugs. So get out there and have fun, but also make sure to report any issues you run into! | |
10 | ||
11 | Beginner's Guide | |
12 | Maps (3 types: Payload / Point Capture / Hybrid (Hollywood / King's Row), last between 5 and 10 minutes) | |
13 | Heroes & Abilities (4 roles, usually 1 gun, 2 special abilities, 1 ultimate) | |
14 | ||
15 | Five things every beginner should know (dev update!) | |
16 | This is a team game! Your primary objective is the objective; going off alone to kill enemies only works if it's in the service of the objective. | |
17 | Tanks and support characters are fun. They also have an active gameplay style, and can be *very* aggressive. Plus, they're easier for beginners. | |
18 | Defense is overpowered!!! The early game *seems* difficult for attack, but defense takes forever to get back to the point. Pick them off and break through. And defense: don't overextend. | |
19 | Bastion is overpowered!!! Seems that way at first, but there are ways to deal with him. Every character has multiple counters. TB L3 turrets ARE OP. :) | |
20 | Listen to what the game tells you. Tips for team building, but also what the characters shout (they have a teleporter, we need to move the payload...) | |
21 | ||
22 | Recommendation for best characters to start with: Soldier 76 / Pharah ... Junkrat / Bastion ... Reinhardt / Winston ... Mercy / Lucio. | |
23 | ||
24 | Five more semi-advanced tips (not sure we need them) | |
25 | Use your ultimates! They build up faster than you think, taking out or protecting one or two people can be enough to matter. 3 or 4 times is normal. | |
26 | Most of the time, being outnumbered is bad news and you should run away if you can. Live to fight another day. | |
27 | Remember the placement of health packs and use them often, especially if you don't have a healer with you. After every engagement if you can. | |
28 | Verticality is important in the maps (especially for Pharah, Reaper, Hanzo, Genji and Widowmaker). You don't necessarily realize it at first. | |
29 | Easy to learn, hard to master. Some players do amazing things: Symmetra turret placement, Reinhardt can wreck a team, Tracer has crazy shortcuts... | |

32 | Eager for Overwatch eSports? The first ever tournament was held last week by Sombrero.gg featuring 8 teams consisting of TF2, Quake, and other shooter pros. The prize pool was $300 and team NotEnigma won over Pubstars. | http://www.twitch.tv/sombrero19/v/25848261 |

34 | Dev Update | |
35 | Quick Note: Dev Update w/ Jeff Kaplan notes that they'll be experimenting with matchmaking. So we should be getting faster matches but they may not be as well matched. | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04a7Mv_eWdY |
36 | Symmetra made more viable for offense (shield and turret update) / not happy w/ Mercy Rez animation delay change, but they feel it's still too powerful / McCree's range reigned in (too strong at long range, supposed to be a midrange skirmisher) | |
37 | ||
38 | BlizzCon Thoughts (lets skip this) | |
39 | The line for Overwatch was insane. Noticably the most played game at BlizzCon. | |
40 | The power narative power of Blizzard's material is surprising (everyone gasped at "brother", when we have almost no story !) | |
41 | A word on the sound work and music, which is pretty amazing too. | |
42 | Opening Stats: 7:34 average match length • most played character is Pharah (not surprising). Most efficient is... Symmetra! Shields are super strong. | |
43 | (First round of character balance adjustments: slight (QoL) buff to Symmetra, slight nerf to Pharah, significant nerf to McCree). | |
44 | Anyone surprised that the game is coming to consoles? | |
45 | Like the 3 new heroes? D.Va / Mei / Genji (Hanzo's brother apparently) | |
46 | Sprays live | |

6 | Blizzard event / PAX | |
7 | Beta in the fall (GRRR what does that even mean!?!?!) | |
8 | No new info on business model - still don't see it being anything other than free to play, but who knows | |
9 | One new map (payload - booh), two new characters. Minimum they could do... | |
10 | Lots of FPS/TF2 players invited, impressions overwhelmingly positive, not what they expected | |
11 | Doesn't play like other shooters. Skill cap = abilities, not movement. No need for rocket jump, more similar to CS than TF (choke points etc) - src STAR_ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwXsUvgxfNI |
12 | Patrick's note: stark contrast with Unreal Tournament remake - a lot less hectic ! No crazy camera movement | |
13 | Devs VS TF2 pro team show match. Devs won! (source: levelcapgaming) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKLosoTXV7w |
14 | ... Crazy comboes: Widowmaker - jump off cliff, turn around mid air, grapling hook to cliff, back up. Pursuers fall. | |

23 | Diversity and body types mention | |
24 | Self barrier absorbs all damage, boosts damage output (source: ZiggyD) | |

9 | Hey fellas! I've heard Blizzard doesn't design games for eSports, rather they let the community decide if its worthy or not. I think this was very true in the case of Hearthstone. Do you think Overwatch is eSport bound and if so, could they be caught off guard with its popularity like they were with Hearthstone? Thanks guys, hope to see more of this show in the future! | |
10 | NOTE: Listener Beckett sent in a similar email referencing the obvious camera tools used in the casted game from BlizzCon as well as spotting a replay tool and team statistics in-game. | |

13 | Hi there ! I'm a french shoutcaster that recently discovered your podcast, and so far I've been really enjoying your show, I hope you keep it going when Overwatch is finally playable. My question was about your thoughts on how do you think this game can keep people playing it. Of course it's a Blizzard game so they will surely find a way to nail that, but I was wondering what can be behind the fact that a lot of people can enjoy a multiplayer shooter but not want to play it anymore after a week or so. I have my idea about this but I would like to have your opinion on that one because nowadays I think that keeping your player base around your game is quite the challenge, especially for a multiplayer shooter. Keep up the good work ! | |

16 | I'll make it short and sweet!! Will I be able to play with my Xbox controller? Thanks | |

18 | Liam T. | |
19 | For instance, one of the things that made TF2 (obvious parallel) so good was that dedicated servers made it so easy to build a community, and regularly jump into an ongoing series of games with the same people on a regular basis. While I doubt that that blizz will just pass out the server code so that anyone can host ongoing games (and possibly edit servers) I'd like to see if Guilds or clans (say...I dunno AIE) could keep a game or 3 going infinatly and people could just drop out or join in as they pleased. Maybe discuss game modes in depth, how would ranking splay into games. would there be a divide between ranked and casual? If currency gets earned in game to buy later heroes, how does that play into the casual and ranked nature. Should I be penalized if I just want to play with my friends like in hearthstone? What makes an idea work for you, and what ideas work for blizz? | |

22 | Hey Garrett and Patrick(from france) Ive been hearing alot of people worrying about the out of game lore. And this has been done for Team Fortress Two, the "meet the" series has introduced all 9 classes and even had a few spin offs "meet the sandvich". Each year TF2 has events for halloween and xmas, and with these comes random comics, trailers and even full videos with show more and more of the universe. thanks | |

24 | Couple emails about other games to play while we wait. | |
25 | Jacob from Miami | |
26 | I have been out of the loop when it comes to first-person shooter games for a while now, but Overwatch really seems to have grabbed my interest. Not only is this because Blizzard, but it reminds me of the only other shooter/MOBA type game I have ever played: Monday Night Combat (MNC). I am actually really surprised that I have not heard any discussion of this game. Maybe MNC was not as popular as I thought it was. I just listened to podcast #2 and a listener wrote in asking about a suggestion for training their mind to work within the framework required for playing Overwatch and I think MNC would be worth looking at, though I do not know if there is still a large player-base. Anyway, I enjoy the podcast greatly and would love to know if anyone else has made this connection, and if yes, what are their thoughts. | |

28 | Moe | |
29 | Hey Overwatchers, Love the show! You guys talked about similar games in the FPS genre. Like everyone else I thought of TF2. But seeing more of the game, I thought of the MOBA game Smite. I played it for awhile, and the first-person / third-person view got me into the gameplay more than isometric MOBAs ever did. Other than that, the level design of Overwatch, specifically the verticality and tight spaces, reminded me of Unreal 3, oddly enough. Even the pacing and some of the gameplay reminded me of Unreal 3. What do you guys think? | |

4 | Welcome to Overwatchers the show about Blizzard's team-based FPS Overwatch! | |
5 | ||
6 | HERO DISCUSSION | |
7 | Offense | |
8 | Tracer | |
9 | All about teleporting. Exceptionally short range on her pistols so she’s designed to close the gap quickly and escape. | |
10 | Blink | |
11 | 10 meter teleport in whichever direction you’re currently moving. | |
12 | Making traversal fun and unique seems to be a theme throughout this game. | |
13 | Recall | |
14 | Rewinds Tracer to 3 seconds before. Location, health, etc. | |
15 | ||
16 | Reaper | http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/heroes/reaper/ |
17 | Cause all games need a hood-wearing badass. | |
18 | Scary dude to fight against. His Wraith form and Shadow Step allows him to close the gap similar to Tracer. | |
19 | Deathblossom Ultimate can clear an entire room of Heroes if Reaper is given the opening. | |
20 | ||
21 | Pharah | http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/heroes/pharah/ |
22 | Egyptian Gundam. | |
23 | Movement seems very fun, Boost Jump on shift, and a short Hover jump on spacebar. | |
24 | ||
25 | Hanzo | |
26 | Ninja assassin archer. | |
27 | His movement ability is Wall Climb and is not on the shift key but instead is part of his default jump on spacebar. | |
28 | ||
29 | ||
30 | Tank | |
31 | Winston | |
32 | His Tesla Cannon fires a short-range lighting barrage. | |
33 | Winston’s shift/movement ability is a Jump Pack. Functions more or less as one would assume but it deals damage and staggers opponent’s where he lands. | |
34 | His ultimate Primal Rage is the real highlight for Winston. He becomes very hard to kill and can only damage opponents with melee attacks or his Jump Pack (which receives a shorter cooldown during Rage). | |
35 | ||
36 | Reinhardt | |
37 | Very unique in a FPS. Massive melee/tank hero. AKA shit brickhouse. | |
38 | Uses a very large and effective Shield that allies can shoot through but opponents cannot. It will be destroyed if it absorbs too much damage. And he can’t attack while channeling the shield. | |
39 | No gun, swings a massive Rocket Hammer in a wide arc/frontal cone. | |
40 | His Charge ability is not an instant kill according to PlayOverwatch.com but it certainly seemed like one on the con floor. | |
41 | Charge doesn’t require a target so it can be used just as a movement ability. Though you have to wait 10 seconds between charges. | |
42 | His ultimate Fire Strike is the only projectile Reinhardt has. It’s a little hard to land but pierces opponents and does significant damage. | |

47 | Quick question, i'm a WoW/Hearthstone player and have never been much into the FPS style of play. I'm confident i'm going to enjoy Overwatch because Blizzard. If i piddle around with TF2, will that help train the FPS muscle memory a bit? Are there better games for training my non FPS mind? | |

3 | Intro | |
4 | We are not FPS experts! Just a couple of guys who are excited about the game | |
5 | We were at BlizzCon for the announcement and played a few games each | |
6 | How we came to doing this show | |
7 | Huge props to the Overwatch subreddit. Tons of great info and content - including a podcast by frogpants fan Matt Burns! (Overwatch Radio)) | |
8 | ||
9 | What is Overwatch? | |
10 | Team-based first person shooter with some third-person elements. | |
11 | ... The comparisons to existing games (ex: TF2). | |
12 | ... Thoughts on Blizzard doing an FPS. | |
13 | First new universe from Blizzard in 16 years. | |
14 | ... Last was StarCraft in 1998 | |
15 | Strong emphasis on map-specific objectives to achieve victory. | |
16 | ... No deathmatch mode | |
17 | ... Really reminds me of how Heroes of the Storm handles Battlegrounds. | |
18 | The lore | |
19 | ... Heavy emphasis on lots of distinct heroes, and the feeling of being heroic. | |
20 | ... Very well done cinematic that infers a lot of world-building. | |
21 | ... Overwatch was a special task force. Saved the world from crisis. Now disbanded/mercenaries... yada yada. | |
22 | ... What are our thoughts? Blizzard was fairly relaxed on world details, or how we would get the story of Overwatch. | |
23 | ... No campaign to speak of. | |
24 | ... The asides are making it fun (there’s always fun in Blizzard games): | |
25 | ... ... Subtle murloc references | |
26 | ... ... Video game arcade | |
27 | ||
28 | What makes Overwatch different? | |
29 | Objective based | |
30 | Hero based (tons of them) | |
31 | Simple controls (3 or so abilities per character) | |
32 | No customization (is that a good thing?!) | |
33 | Ultimately, what matters is the Blizzard touch: | |
34 | ... Take an existing genre that might be niche and make it accessible | |
35 | ... Remove the tedium and bring the fun out for everyone to enjoy | |
36 | ... Easy to learn, difficult to master. The second part is super important | |
37 | ||
38 | Gameplay | |
39 | Team based, objective based: no deathmatch | |
40 | ... Strategy is more important than individual kill count (which isn’t counted) | |
41 | ... There is a score, which reflects contribution | |
42 | 6v6 is the “right size”: can contribute but won’t screw up completely | |
43 | No sprint, no reload | |
44 | No focus on “lethality”, existence of “support” classes… for noobs? | |

52 | Battlegrounds | |
53 | Level design: | |
54 | No large expanse, closed spaces to street-sized spaces. Think university building (with halls) rather than football field | |
55 | Reasonable amounts of verticality: make the traversal talents shine | |
56 | Always more than one way to or out of somewhere | |
57 | Two Battleground modes at this time: | |
58 | Payload | |
59 | King’s Row | |
60 | ... The beginning of the match is a Point Capture (attack/defend). Once the point is capture by the defending team the payload is spawned. Once the payload is spawned it’s an escort game. | |
61 | ... Jeff Kaplan referred to King’s Row as a hybrid map. | |
62 | Point Capture | |
63 | Temple of Anubis | |
64 | Hanamura |
