When Null Sector attacks, Winston assembles a small strike team to fend off the invasion. But as hope begins to fade, the team must stand together to overcome the odds.
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

they literally had their own employees say the whole time on stage how many big announcements and how loaded this blizcon was, when in reality , all it had was three cinematics and everyone was full of shit ... such a fake company making shit products, all hail china
Really hope this burns down to the ground. But the fanatical neckbearded Blizzard whales will keep it up and probably get it to top profitable games as usual with these MXT bullshits.

Activision Blizzard is making "major changes" to Overwatch 2 as part of a "revitalisation" of the free-to-play shooter that hopes to "make PvP gameplay more rewarding and fun", as well as "provide greater transparency for players in-game".
In a candid blog, the team insisted it had "heard [the] feedback" from players about the competitive play over the last eight seasons, and has plans to introduce "big updates" to enable you to better build on your skills and "see how you progress through the competitive ranks".
"We built a better system that’s more accurate while also helping convey the meaning behind the mathematical complexity of a modern matchmaker and bring clear insights about what impacts your rank in every match," the team said.
"One piece of feedback we heard is that just knowing your rank doesn’t say anything about why your rank went up or down. Competitive Updates originally worked to provide updates that reflected your growth as a player across multiple matches, but with the goal to provide greater transparency in each individual match, we’re going back to updating your rank after every match and showing how much progress you gain or lose between each Skill Division."
This – along with displaying Modifiers that affected your last match below the rank progression bar – will "provide transparency in the matchmaking for each match".
"Feedback is a driving force behind these changes, and we want to hear your thoughts on Competitive Play now that you’ll have more context for each game," the team added.
"At its core, Overwatch 2 is a competitive game, so it’s important for the core systems and Competitive System to be as intuitive and accessible as possible. In addition to these core system changes, we’re introducing reworks to Pharah and Junkertown, which we’ll go into in a later blog."
Overwatch 2 – Season 9: Champions is set to launch on 13th February. Other changes planned for the new season include a new progression system, an all-new skill tier above Grand Master, "as well as major gameplay changes to combat, hero survivability, and role passives".
In a separate blog, director Aaron Keller said the drive for change came from the community itself, adding that "feedback from [...] players along with our team’s vision [will] make the game more fun and challenging for everyone".
Must be getting ready to announce Overwatch 3

Overwatch 2’s profanity ban policy is an embarrassing memory hole mess
Overwatch 2’s ban system is being rightfully criticized by the community for attempting to gaslight players into believing simple swear words have never been allowed.
The Overwatch 2 community is livid at Blizzard’s response to a pro player who had been banned for writing curse words in chat, something that until very recently didn’t seem to be a problem.
In an X thread about Mason ‘durpee’ Kuehne’s month-long suspension, the official Blizzard Customer Support account claimed, “the filter is for those who wish to use it, but profanity has never been allowed in our games. If reported, absolutely actionable.”
Blizzard’s decision to crack down on all profanity is definitely worthy of criticism, considering the game’s teen rating. While slurs and harassment are another story completely, simple swearing is just common online. Banning players for saying “sh*t” or “f*ck” (as was the case here) is just over the top.
It’s not clear if there’s some miscommunication between Blizzard’s social media managers, the devs and staff reviewing ban appeals, but there needs to absolutely be some transparency about what is and isn’t allowed, because historically, this hasn’t been the case and the community knows it.
Former Overwatch League caster ZP took aim at Blizzard’s stance, accusing the company of “gaslighting” players who have never experienced enforcement like this in seven years.
“Historically, players were absolutely not banned for garden variety profanity,” ZP said. “Gaslighting people who have played the game for 7 years at this point is an awful f**king look.”
Content creator NyanSox even compared Blizzard’s actions to George Orwell’s 1984, where a totalitarian state replaced written history to better suit their agenda.
Changing the rules on the fly to suddenly ban players for minor offenses is just ridiculous, especially when there was no prior warning. To act like this policy has always been in place is just insulting to those who have been loyal to OW since its release.
To justify its decision, Blizzard pointed to the first section of its in-game code of conduct, which states: “You may not use language that could be offensive or vulgar to others.”
That’s all incredibly subjective and to make matters worse, Blizzard even suggests that swearing would only be actionable if a report is filed. But this has the community gobsmacked.
“If it’s not allowed why even present the veneer of it being acceptable by allowing people to choose exposure to that kind of language from beyond the default safety filters,” remarked fan-favorite caster Legday.
Twitch streamer Kephrii was confused about why OW2 has a filter to begin with: “If profanity as a whole is not acceptable & is actionable, the filter should not be adjustable and should be mandated with absolutely no input from the player,” he said.
This is hardly the first time that Blizzard’s OW2 bans have sparked controversy. As we’ve documented, players have been banned for typing “GG,” “yipppeee,” and “nice shot.” One player even risked losing his college scholarship for writing out his teammate’s name, “dumpsyer.”
How Blizzard is going about things right now isn’t a good look. It’s time for either Game Director Aaron Keller and Executive Producer Jared Neuss to get involved and set the matter straight or make some serious changes to how and why bans are implemented.
