Overwatch awaits shake-up: Blizzard introduces character rotation in ranked games

Company Blizzard decided to integrate into Overwatch a system of banning the use of certain characters in ranked matches. However, the implementation method was not quite standard.

Solution developers called Hero pools. According to the idea, the ban on the characters will be temporary, and the roster is planned to be updated once a week based on the decision of the designers. The system will start working as part of a new season starting in March 2023.

Blizzard expects that rotation will encourage players to use more characters and shake matches. However, the restriction will not affect Quick Play and Arcade modes.

Also, the studio will allow players on all platforms to test temporary experimental modes to obtain feedback.
