Overwatch Competitive Details

A new video features Blizzard Game Director Jeff Kaplan, discussing the success of Overwatch and discussing plans for the first-person shooter. He explains they have new heroes in the works, new maps coming later this year, and plans for quality-of-life and other improvements. Their main focus right now is finishing up the game's competitive mode, and Jeff says they still hope to deliver this by the end of this month. He takes some time to explain what to expect from competitive play, saying they are looking to accommodate players taking things a little more seriously than in quickmatch. He explains they have changed things to be more competitive based on feedback from the beta, and offers some details about what's changed. He talks of making seasons three months (matching the seasons of the year), reducing the frequency of sudden death overtimes, making assault maps play out longer, balancing progression versus skill in their ranking system, showing players their skill ratings and other important information, and more. He concludes expressing Blizzard's commitment to listen to player feedback to adjust the system going forward and describing plans to reward players with cosmetic items including golden weapons as rewards for seasonal success.
