Blizzard just made Overwatch's best mode much worse

"The developers say they modified Mystery Heroes "to help keep the mode's casual pace intact while mitigating some of the more extreme pain points it's had in the past." Removing perks helps players clock what's going on a bit faster, but it diminishes the fun."

"Nixing perks from Mystery Heroes diminishes it compared with other modes, especially given that some heroes are now more oriented around their perks. The chaos of Mystery Heroes and trying to make things work with whatever hero and perks I have was a key enjoyment."

"The other major change in Mystery Heroes is a switch from teams of five players to 6v6. While 6v6 is fine in other game types, it makes Mystery Heroes much worse."

Mystery Heroes, a casual mode in Overwatch, has undergone significant changes that have negatively impacted gameplay. The removal of perks, which added excitement and chaos, has diminished the fun factor. Players previously enjoyed the randomness of starting with perks, which enhanced the experience. Additionally, the shift from 5v5 to 6v6 teams alters the dynamics, making the mode less appealing. These changes have led to a less enjoyable experience for players who appreciate the unique aspects of Mystery Heroes.
