Development manager Overwatch Jeff Kaplan said that today, February 25, the game will appear the first experimental mode called Triple Damage (“Triple Damage”).
Kaplan spoke about experimental modes at the end of January. In them, the authors intend to test the changes in balance, mechanics and gameplay.
In the middle of last year, Overwatch appeared a search for roles with the formula “2-2-2”. Since then, in the queue for the “Quick Game” and “Competitive Game”, all players are offered to choose a role: tank, support or damage.
However, in the “Triple Damage” mode, developers will make changes to the formula. Now the team will have only one tank, two support heroes and three characters at once, which cause the main damage.
According to Kaplan, such a change is designed to accelerate the search for matches for players who want to inflict damage. In addition, due to the lack of a second tank, the developers intend to make changes to the balance of such heroes as Turbosvin, Zarya and D.Va.
Kaplan emphasizes that these changes so far relate only to the experimental mode and may not end up in the main game.
