General Overwatch 2 Patch Notes

Endorsements

Endorsement level decay has been reworked to be more forgiving in some circumstances. The endorsement level always decays slightly whenever you finish a match, but that decay is now reduced by the percentage of players who could not have endorsed you. If none of the players in the match could have endorsed you, your Endorsement level would not decay. The following reasons prevent other players from endorsing you:

  • The player is your friend.
  • The player endorsed you within the past 24 hours.
  • Endorsement level decay also no longer occurs when a server shuts down. The most common reason for this is a competitive match shutting down when players leave the match early.

Challenges

  • Added Legendary, Mythic, and Ultimate Player Title challenges to each hero’s progression challenges.

Progression

  • Victory Pose now shows your Progression Level instead of the Hero Level.

Social Features

  • The default option for match text chat is now set to OFF (previously set to ON) for new players. This can be changed in the Social Options.
  • The default option for team voice chat is now set to ON (previously set to AUTO-JOIN) for new players. This can be changed in the Social Options.
  • Current text or voice chat settings for existing players are not changed.
