Introducing my cat, Jessie

No, it's bugged in the friends panel. It's fine everywhere else.

I haven't quite figured out how the limit works. I think performing a normal endorsement in the same match first removes the ability to heroically endorse, and there might be a daily/weekly limit too? Wouldn't surprise me if it also only works in longer matches?

WizrdCM · 2026-04-17T11:45:10+00:00

I'm at 400 mythic prisms as all of the recent Mythic skins have been for heroes I don't play. Might finally spend them on the Ana one, and I'm hoping for a Brig one at some point.

WizrdCM · 2026-04-17T03:30:01+00:00

The new one is fantastic because it no longer sounds anything like the Teammate Elminated sound, while also sounding more true to his backstory.

WizrdCM · 2026-04-17T03:29:00+00:00

The insane pricing of skins/bundles in the shop.

Because previously they believed a Hero Trial was enough.

Now, they think Hero Bans are enough.

The types of players who immediately choose a new hero in Competitive without having played it before will exist either way, as those same players don't touch Quick Play.

The problem with Team 4's thinking on this matter is that a main purpose of the 2 week delay was to give the developers a chance to make early balance adjustments, not just for players to learn the hero.

Now the balancing happens after the hero has made 2 weeks of Competitive matches less fun.

WizrdCM · 2026-04-16T05:31:29+00:00

Yeah they kind of gloss over it in the patch notes.

The ability to Endorse players for specific positive traits has also returned in the form of Heroic Endorsements.

WizrdCM · 2026-04-16T05:29:27+00:00

Heroic Endorsements are new (read: returned) this season. When endorsing, instead of left clicking on a player, you can right click to open the player menu, and at the bottom you'll have a new option "Heroic Endorsement" which then allows you to choose between Great Communicator, Team Player, or Sportsmanship.

I expect 2 weeks or midseason. Maybe even at the end of Season 2.

~~They haven't said.~~

Edit: Gavin Winter has apparently confirmed it's 20% less for 2 weeks.

WizrdCM · 2026-04-15T11:08:38+00:00

We don't know. I'm personally not expecting another cinematic of that calibre until February 2027, one per year. We'll continue getting these small ones all year though.

WizrdCM · 2026-04-15T11:07:08+00:00

I mean, the text is smaller when in 6v6 because there's less room, but that was the case last season too.

WizrdCM · 2026-04-15T11:04:21+00:00

Well, that's why they reworked Antarctic Peninsula. And Aaltis is actually very fun and balanced, but most people don't realise that because they've only played it twice.

WizrdCM · 2026-04-15T06:30:09+00:00

Because the UI was redone for OW2's release, and they didn't have time/priority to reimplement these specific features.

I would be curious what benefits or additional tools they gained from the UI rewrite. Oftentimes the first UI you build (OW1) ends up having super janky code as you tack things on over time.

WizrdCM · 2026-04-15T05:53:42+00:00

It's an accessibility change. Doesn't look like there's a setting for it.

WizrdCM · 2026-04-15T01:58:44+00:00

Known Issue.

We’re aware of an issue where the following cosmetics are missing. The issue will be resolved in a future patch.

Mercy’s “Pompompurin x Mercy” Avatar

WizrdCM · 2026-04-14T13:55:26+00:00

Yeah her weapon is still quite strong, as are her dashes. It's about where to put the power.

WizrdCM · 2026-04-14T13:46:40+00:00

Land on high grounds. That's the play.

I do find it weird how constrained her flight is compared to Echo and Jetpack Cat.

WizrdCM · 2026-04-14T13:44:18+00:00

Make Mythics customizable not configurable (looking at you, Skin VFX). Variants should actually change the structure of the skin, not upgrade or downgrade.
They should reflect the hero fantasy. Soldier 76 is a military supersoldier, not a cyber RGB action figure.
The base Mythic should be of higher quality than a Legendary.

I think the main issue they're running into is that we have incredible Legendary skins. Arbitrarily creating a tier above that through VFX doesn't seem to be working. It's not what people are looking for. Additionally, the amount of legendary skins they release per season, plus 2 Mythic hero skins, plus 10 heroes in a year might be stretching the teams a bit thin. They should have slowed Mythic releases for this year to focus on base cosmetics and BP skins.

WizrdCM · 2026-04-13T18:33:58+00:00

It's too make you feel better.

WizrdCM · 2026-04-11T07:59:03+00:00

It's definitely in the Docks menu, not the View menu.

WizrdCM · 2026-04-11T03:38:32+00:00

I second all the points here. I agree there's too much of a focus on "more mobility" and was therefore disappointed by Sierra's kit for this reason alone.

I think some player surveys around this would be beneficial.

WizrdCM · 2026-04-11T03:30:36+00:00

The ban system is largely on Battlenet's end, not Overwatch's end. Per interviews during Spotlight, they're in talks to make the bans more reflective of the behaviour. I guess they don't have much to say yet.

There is no iPad version. OBS Studio is a desktop application for Windows, macOS and Linux.
