Depending on how Experimental Mode pans out, the new three-damage mode may become a standard … or it may gracefully retire. As for the three-damage queue, Blizzard will be including drastic balance changes to “off-tank” heroes, like Roadhog and D.Va. These heroes will play differently to see how the game changes if a team has off-tanks in a heavy solo tank role.
Kaplan stresses multiple times during the video that players shouldn’t panic, and that this experiment could go nowhere. If successful, Overwatch could possibly see these changes begin to go live on the competitive stage. As for average players, damage players could see a much faster queue, thanks to their larger share of the lobby.
Experimental mode its live, and will remain live in the Arcade.
