New Director's Take is up! Been really interested in stomps recently and what they mean… or don't mean, for the matchmaker. Also talking about our new battle pass and game modes (especially 5 stack mini season). Check it out here - https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/23969913/

@NanoLeon3000 @PlayOverwatch Mini season, not pass. We're running a competitive season in the back half of season 5 that requires a premade team of 5 players.

We are excited to expand all of the new Pride cosmetics and Midtown update to players in Poland & Romania. Thank you to those players for their patience and feedback. We’ll continue working to expand representation both in and out of OW2!

Players in those countries will need to relog into the game in order to pick up the change.

Two skins planned to be given away during Season 5 to celebrate Summer Games were accidentally enabled for a short period of time today. We've since fixed the issue. Log in later in Season 5 to claim these skins… and if you were able to do it earlier… congratulations!

Lifeweaver buffs… Queen nerf… Mei and Cassidy changes?!? We'll be talking about these updates and more coming to Season 5 in this week's Director's Take. https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/23964413/

@itsadamcz @OWCavalry I typically don’t respond to these, but I’m dying right now. Nice one🤣

With the US holiday this week, we'll be delaying the latest Director's Take - a look at balance in Season 4 and the subsequent changes coming to Season 5 - till early next week. Have a great weekend! 😁

@OWCavalry ...a lot...

A new Director's Take blog from me. This has been an emotional week for all of us, and I wanted to share more on how we got here. https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/23952480/

RT @OhReallyJared: A clarification that I wanted to make is that, while we made the decision to cut Hero Mode + Talents, we have a lot of g…

@Izko_ We don't comment on an individual accounts, but an update on recent account actions and reversals related to the Sigma bug can be found here. https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/sigma-gravitic-flux-bug-account-actions-and-reversals/816705

@lilGreenTea1 Looks like we should start working on a new game mode...😆

Update on Sigma and more! Fixes are live for: • Sigma flying bug • Doomfist and Ramattra blocking beam damage inconsistently. We're also investigating other fixes for a Kiriko teleport bug and a camera shake issue when firing. We'll share information on these when available.

Also, Sigma will be reenabled for Ranked play shortly.

@MuppetNinjas @Hasashi69 It's more noticeable on certain heroes and very hard to detect on others. Kiriko is the most obvious. Team is working on the fix now, but unsure of when we will be able to roll it out. Will send an update when we know. 😀

Due to a bug caused by our recent patch, we’re disabling Sigma temporarily in Competitive modes. We’ll provide an update as soon as we're able.
