NEW FEATURE: HERO POOLS
We will be introducing Hero Pools starting in Season 21 of Competitive Play. Much like Map Pools, rather than having all heroes available for play at all times, a weekly changing list of heroes will be available. The list will include the vast majority of the hero roster, with only a few being excluded during any given week. We think this feature will help keep Competitive Play interesting, as team compositions will change more frequently during a season.
It is important to note that Hero Pools is a new feature that may not last past this initial season. Throughout the season, we will be adjusting the types of Hero Pools available. In addition, it is possible we will also adjust the frequency with which they change.
NEW WORKSHOP FEATURES:
• Custom Game Maps
o Workshop Chamber – A 40m x 40m x 40m enclosed room
o Workshop Island – A 40m x 40m island surrounded by water
o Workshop Expanse – A 900m x 900m flat plane
EXPERIMENTAL CARD
