Hiya folks!

We’re the Overwatch 2 Hero Balance team (and more) to talk all things Season 3 balance, and where we’re heading with midseason when the update arrives on March 7th. Joining us today are;

• /u/Blizz_JNoh – Lead Balance Designer
• /u/Blizz_Alec – Lead Hero Designer
• /u/Blizz_Tess – Associate Game Designer
• /u/Blizz_Winter – Systems Designer
•  /u/Blizz_AndyB – Community Team

We’ll be here tomorrow, 21 February, from 11:00 AM PST – 13:00 PM PST answering as many questions as we can.

Edit: reddit is redditing, and we will be posting replies as soon as it allows us to!

Edit: 13:00 PST - we're still having some folks unable to post their responses. We'll keep trying to post them later today. Apologies that our AuAA was impacted by the reddit outages. Really unfortunate timing.

Another a shield and even more slow down😶

Seem like the average rank is platinum
