I've done all my placements for each role and non-role queue, and don't recall any of them being impacted by a leaver. Between 2300 and 2700 on PC.

It's not every game or anything, but it's also not at all uncommon to have leavers in my range, a little below that. Had two in a row last night.

lol, but also why would you release an OW2 set in Feb anyway, when the release of the actual game is set as "???"

There's going to be another community patch, no ETA yet but most likely before the month ends. Changes known so far are from Jake, former pro Junkrat Overwatch player

An Overwatch spokesperson provided a statement to Dot Esports for fans who may be disappointed with the lack of cosmetics:

“We understand that this year’s Lunar New Year event doesn’t have the number of Legendary skins as previous events. The Skins team is hard at work—with more Legendary Skins planned in 2022 than any year prior. We’ll share more with players on this topic throughout the year.”

There's nothing new and the skins are pretty crap (Porcelain Wrecking Ball is cool though).

Whoa whoa, not so fast.
They are planning to release more legendary skins in 2022 than in any year prior.

They could also mean the revisions of existing legendary skins for the slightly tweaked character designs in OW2.

We'll see.

I feel like they could say 'we are planning to release more new characters in 2022 than we did in 2021' and people would be 1000x more hyped

A month ago content creators were given a sneak preview at what was coming and they were all stoked but sworn to secrecy. I finally got one of them to crack and here's what they told me:

OW is canceled.

ow is being replaced with two installs. one for tf2 on a version pre matchmaking, one for cs 1.6. please look forward to it.

my theory is that OW is finally going f2p, which is why the content creators are so happy. more players = more viewers

I think they were told about the blizzard sale and promised lots of money, no gameplay involved.

So, I did actually re-install this game. Lunar New Year was the worst event anyways so, no big loss on how bad this one is. Mystery Heroes is still fun. Until its not but then its over quickly, hopefully.

nah there's basically zero chance they were told about the sale

probably were just show some hype new cinematic and told that they'd get support and early access and prob given a piece of the marketing money pie.

also worth noting that not everyone there left hyped
