What are the week 1 bans (if any)?
a drum full of ping pong balls with hero names on them will be turned and two will be selected bingo style on stage tomorrow.

any advanced stats on average matchday time lost to pauses / "technical difficulties" on stage? 2 weeks in and fewer games but it already feels worse.

I can't recall even S1 Shanghai ever looking that bad. S2 Boston maybe? And it's not even like Washington's a powerhouse. Just baffling.

I don’t see these crunch time ads am I just weird what’s going on? Aren’t we all ad blocking?

Absolutely overwhelmed with super lovely mobile mtx whatever the gently caress ads and the Flash Gordon ripoff hearthstone one between maps though.

If you don't like dive and you don't like goats, your problem isn't that the meta is bad. The problem is that you don't like overwatch and should go watch siege. Literally blizzards solution is to ensure there is no longer metas, as people cannot stop whining.
dive was fine. goats wasn't.

But that's just the playing part. Are they concerned about making it as palatable to all tiers of play, or T500/Pro or worried about it as a marketable "e-sport" that people would watch? That's what the "for who" was about.

I like overwatch and I like watching much better people than me execute it with a lot more skill and coordination than I'll ever get to experience. Once you have a decent grasp of the game and the heroes and their abilities, I don't believe the play is too complex for average viewers (me) to understand.

The casters do a decent job (in general) of explaining why pushes succeed/breakdown, in the limited time they have to actually draw lines and do replays between teamfights. People should rarely be left scratching their heads. It's like when NFL casters break down where a route was run or mistimed, or a coverage was missed or where a block didn't occur to explain why a play worked/didn't work. And all us couch potatoes who can't hurl a 60 yard bomb in a perfect spiral get it even if we can't do it.

Philly-Atlanta better be competitive tomorrow :ohdear:
