Hey everyone, this is Jeff from the year 2046, and I'm here to answer your Overwatch questions before you ask them

Posted: 11 Jan 2018 12:45 PM PST

We've had a fantastic 3 decades here at Blizzard, and to celebrate 30 years of Overwatch the development team decided to send me back in time to answer your questions about the future of the game. Now as a side effect of breaking the space-time continuum, my answers will appear before you ask your questions, so bear with me. I've also had to commandeer someone else's Reddit account since all of Reddit's original servers were destroyed in the Digital Singularity of 2039. AMA!

EDIT 2: Thanks for the great questions everyone! Due to the popularity of this AMA, I've answered a few more of your questions.

EDIT 1: I want to thank u/ThisIsEnArt for creating the initial tear in space-time which allowed me to come back and do this AMA.

How to completely fairly win a 1v1 without cheating at all

Posted: 11 Jan 2018 05:59 AM PST

Lets put this all in one thread. To avoid 10 posts every hour.

Posted: 11 Jan 2018 01:53 PM PST

1: You dont get OWL tokens for watching it on Twitch as of yet. If you saw it in the chat, it was someone fucking with you.

2: It will take a few days for the extra 100 credits to get to you for signing up for the Blizzard newsletter. Read the fine print.

3: We dont know when the next OW sale is going to be.

4: Yes the skins are $5 each, and you get two free. Can we argue about that below instead of 20 new posts ever hour?

5: The different colors for the OWL are to make it easier for us viewers to differentiate between the teams, and to the players (to my knowledge) it looks like they have normal skins and normal effect colors.

6: Blizzard World will be released they said, hopefully before the month is up, but it could take longer. We do not have an exact date yet.

I will probably get downvoted for all of this, but there have been a solid 10-15 posts every single day about each of these topics. Scroll through, and read before posting something. Thanks awesome people.

Why didn't Blizzard bundle the Away skins with the Home ones?

Posted: 11 Jan 2018 07:32 AM PST

You can argue that they're all white and similar with a few minor changes, but from a sales point of view it would be a lot more appealing to the customer.

2 skins for $5? More people would be inclined to pay that.

Or how about an example where someone may not like the Florida Mayhem home skin but they may like the away skin because it's all white with just enough colour that its tempting enough to buy. That's a teams skin that someone has bought because of the fact there was the alternate version to it, whereas in it's current state that person isn't very likely to buy it.

TL;DR - Why not put the away skins bundled with the homeskins - People will have more options which in turn means way more sales.

Overwatch League logo in Lego

Overwatch League: Your website is beautiful and easy to use, but can you please take a note out of HotS Esports page and give us no spoiler buttons and spoiler free video playlists?

Posted: 11 Jan 2018 10:10 AM PST

I love the site but there is no way to avoid spoilers if you want to reference the schedule. HotS esports accomplishes this easily with a simple Spoilers On/Off button.

Also, the way that videos are shown lets the viewer know immediately if the series went to a 2v2 tie breaker 5th match. Again, HotS combats this spoiler by uploading filler fake videos for any potential game in the series.

These small QoL changes would go a long way for, especially for the VOD viewer.

Pines insane prediction on Ilios lighthouse

Posted: 11 Jan 2018 07:09 PM PST

Just 6 seconds in the Dallas Fuel VS Seoul Dynasty match and this happens!

Posted: 11 Jan 2018 02:55 AM PST

Can we finally get an option to dim or completely remove the objective markers?

Posted: 11 Jan 2018 01:38 PM PST

Now that the new update rolled out and we have an even more obvious way to seeing who controls each point (for those unaware, since the newest patch the team controlling the point gets a black background in the top HUD part - the screenshot I have is prior to the update so it is still regular), can we please get something to remove or dim them?

When you are at a distance that the icon is bigger than enemy characters it gets extremely distracting and sometimes might even give the defendants advantage since they don't have to deal with that - you could even argue that some people might even use that to their own advantage while in the objective, but that would be a stretch.

What I am refering to is this. I know this has been suggested multiple times before, but now the latest patch makes it so much more intuitive and for veteran players, we don't exactly need a marker like this. I think the only exception for most people would be payloads, so maybe a checkmark for each game mode?

The New England Patriots just gave a shoutout to the Boston Uprising!

If you’re not watching Dynasty vs. Fuel right now, it’s an incredible match

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 08:30 PM PST

I highly recommend it, keeps going back and forth and it is INTENSE.

Edit: this is a game that people who aren't even into esports will enjoy, just a blast to watch.

Idea: Make Junkrat's SF Shock skin use the ult line from Junkenstein skin

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 09:33 PM PST

Gotta get into the sporting spirit. "Get ready for a shock" is more appropriate than ever.
