With the first Overwatch experimental card tournament being a success, today Blizzard has released yet another update for the Overwatch Experimental mode for April first. These employ the craziest hero changes to make it to the game so far.
Overwatch’s experimental mode has always had some of the most unique and drastic changes done. This mode provided the devs to test out hero changes with full freedom and often implements the craziest and most game-breaking changes. This mode exists to give the devs a chance to try out new things in a separate area unaffected by the majority of the community. The results from these results in an altered version of a change making it to the main game.
