Last season's 2000-2499 Gold Hero SR band is labeled Platinum now. The badge changed. Your positioning, cooldown discipline and habit of staggering into lost fights did not.
After investigating slow Season 4 progression and missing Stadium XP, Blizzard announced five tier skips for players who log in during the compensation window.
The August 14 hotfix tightened D.Mon's attack timing and fixed several hitbox problems, while Jetpack Cat lost movement speed and more self-healing from Purr.
Blizzard raised D.Mon's damage, made Propulsors dramatically easier to sustain and cut the Fusion Repeater cooldown in the first hotfix after her launch.
D.Mon joins the Tank roster, Emerald rank reshapes Competitive, Team Drives get a date, the combat HUD gets smarter and 21 heroes receive balance or perk changes.
Heroes of Busan launched at 11:00 AM PT with D.Mon, a redesigned reward track, MEKA Mania, three refreshed maps and some of Competitive's biggest structural changes this year.
The first full D.Mon hero trailer puts the new Tank at the center of MEKA's fight with Wrecking Ball and the Junkers, setting up her August 11 arrival in Season 4.
Overwatch Esports has corrected the release timing for this year's partner team cosmetics, confirming that the collection will enter the game alongside Season 4.
Blizzard's first map preview shows a heavy Paraiso rebuild, a targeted Eichenwalde pass and a Junker-occupied Busan tied directly to the next chapter of the story.
The OWCS broadcast stopped short of showing a hero kit, but an empty MEKA bay, an opened dorm door and an August 6 date make the direction difficult to miss.
The five-day global event starts July 29 at 3:00 AM PT, with two eight-team groups and a Season 4 developer preview built into the broadcast.
Blizzard has confirmed Season 4 previews from its hero and map teams during the Paris event, but the schedule stops short of naming what will be shown.
Aaron Keller says the short nails on Anran's Beachside skin are a cosmetic bug, with a correction planned by Season 4.
