If among your plans is to play Overwatch this weekend, you should know that Blizzard has already started the new competitive season of the team shooter. The season comes with more rewards and some new features.
With the start of Season 12, the option to avoid certain players as teammates was updated. This function allowed not to play with up to 2 users, but from now on you can add a total of 3 players.
This will keep them from being your teammates for 7 days. Blizzard made the change after reading some comments and analyzing the use of the option.
On the other hand, it is also possible to customize the configuration of your team to find the ideal players, whether they seek rank or just have fun for a while. For this there will be filters like specific roles, level, among other things.
Blizzard reminded the community that Wrecking Ball, the newest hero, is now available in competitive play. In addition, the company noted that to participate in this game mode it is necessary to complete 10 games of placement matches to determine your initial level.
As in previous seasons, the new stage will feature new and attractive rewards, including a special spray and a seasonal player icon. If at the end of the season you are among the 500 best players on your platform, you will receive an additional spray and an animated icon.
Overwatch is available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
