gaming [Gaming News] The combined fury of angry Overwatch players forced Blizzard to reverse a change it made less than 72 hours ago

Countless Reddit threads and social media posts piled up this week strongly criticizing Blizzard's decision to add a MOBA-style draft system to Overwatch 2's popular Stadium mode. Specifically, players were against the removal of mirror matchups where both teams can play as the same heroes.

The response in the last few days, following the launch of the new season, has been so overwhelmingly negative that Blizzard has abandoned the system less than 72 hours after implementing it. The draft mode will stay, but mirror matchups are allowed again.

"We’re grateful to everyone who tried it out and shared feedback," game director Aaron Keller wrote on X. "As a team, one of our goals is to make the game that you want to play. This involves listening, responding, and taking those desires into account."
