After hosting a developer Q&A about hero design and hero balance late last week, lead hero designer Alec Dawson admitted in a tweet that Overwatch 2’s current pool of support characters was “quite small” for two players to pick from. Dawson said players “may see more new supports than other roles to bolster that pool,” adding that there’s “still lots of interesting space for us to explore as designers”. Other players have also been reporting on the Overwatch subreddit that they’ve received an emailed survey from Blizzard that “heavily touched” on the hero shooter’s battle pass and store. Blizzard first detailed Overwatch 2’s battle pass back in September, just a few weeks before the game’s launch. The pass didn’t go down well due to the perceived grind of its free track. One reddit user has shared the contents of the new survey, which you can view here. The survey contains a lot of questions about the premium track of the battle pass, along with some about the Overwatch store and whether the player has used Overwatch Coins to buy in-game cosmetics. There’s also a box to add your own thoughts on the game at the end. Overwatch 2 is a free to play download from Battle.net. You can also check Ollie’s tier list to find out the best heroes to play as in Overwatch 2, including which of its small pool of support characters you should consider as your main. Activision Blizzard publish Overwatch 2 and they’re still facing law suits alleging a workplace culture of sexual harassment and discrimination. Microsoft also intend to buy Activision Blizzard, although the deal is currently under investigation by UK regulators over competition concerns.
