Just "improve" by changing the backgrounds based on "rarity".

I tried Hazard and can definitely confirm it's a bit broken, especially when paired with good supports. I had a lot of fun and could climb quickly, since many tanks don’t know how to control the game pace.

"We’re going to run a mini-competitive season of 6v6 starting midseason 15"

"So starting in Season 15, Clash maps are going to be removed out of Competitive Play, as we take the time to look at these maps and work to find ways to deliver the best Competitive experience for all of our players."

Pick the heroes that work best for you! Also in the first few days, Overwatch: Classic will play with the No Hero Limits rule as the original release didn’t enforce hero limits. So you can have up to six of the same hero for any meme comp you want. After that, we will enable single hero limits for the remainder of this first Overwatch: Classic event.

Yeah you are right. So few days of meme comps and then instalock comps with 5 DPS and 1 SUP. People will notice the "real" OW Classic. Gonna play anyways, just for the nostalgic feelings. lol

I agree, it may be fun. Touched the v1.0 patch few times, I wasn't interested in the game at first, started to play more often around 2 or 3 years after release. All the OW2 new players will know the DPS instalock nightmare, until a team comes to 5 Winton/Genji and 1 Mercy memes, Bastion with shield~, Symetra as support (with infamous troll TP) and the most unbalanced version of the game.
