Best season ever already.

I think Ubisoft shouldn't abandon the idea of more story-driven PvE missions/events just because Outbreak wasn't the greatest of a success. The idea of having PvE missions with some operator interaction cutscenes was absolutely great and in my opinion should definitely be done again

Summary of Developer Masterclass from Paris Major

Posted: 19 Aug 2018 03:21 AM PDT

The developers are implementing on/off switches for operators/gadgets that can be utilized whenever there is a VERY bad exploit in the game.

They're working on allowing players to separate the Elite Skins from the Victory Animations.

Ash, Jäger & Bandit are in a good spot, their plan is not to nerf their comfortability, but instead buff every single other operators comfortability.

Tachanka is getting a COMPLETE rework... looks, personality, backstory & gadget, he will not be the same operator after the rework. [EDIT: They will not disappoint people who like his current feel. They're still exploring options.]

Pick & Ban is coming to ranked at some point, the results in PL has been amazing and they are super-satisfied with it.

The regular Casual/Ranked matches will be getting the same Atk/Def rotation as Pro-League, it helps new players learn.

They informed us on how they decide what to put resources on, and that in most cases they do see and agree with the community's points, it just takes time to find a good solution, they would rather have a good solution than a fast solution.

Theatre/Replay/Cinematic mode is coming to everyone, but it's complicated due to the engine, but it will come.

Lion is planned for a rework aswell, in his current state, he limits the design for new operators far too much.

These points were taken from a panel 30 influencers got to have with the devs, these things will be implemented, but there was 0 confirmation on when.
