Busy times for Overwatch 2, which is currently turning like an oil tanker towards its new future. Blizzard is still going to be delivering singleplayer content for the game, but the larger story focus has all-but-gone, and the current focus seems to be on making its new events feel, well, like events rather than another excuse to flog you a battle pass.
A new blogpost goes into detail on some improvements Blizzard's making to competitive play, including looking at how it matches friends with significantly different skill levels who want to play together. Blizzard says it's noticed something more interesting generally about getting a wide skill range into a given match: "we’ve started to prioritize placing similar groups with wide skill ranges into the same match: while this makes queue times a little longer for large groups, it helps to ensure a fair match".
