The “Stadium” mode for Overwatch 2 was so popular in April that Blizzard prepared a separate development plan for him. The team will add more cards, heroes, modes and other to the Stadium.
Typically, with the introduction of new modes, a sharp jump is observed at the time spent in them – the hype also subsides quite quickly. However, in the case of the stadium, this parameter showed itself better, the game director boasted Overwatch 2 Aaron Keller (Aaron Keller). In the first week, about 50 % of the entire game time in the sequel, gamers spent in the new mode.
In addition, the stadium is currently the most popular regime Overwatch 2, Having ahead of a quick and adversarial game. 2.3 million matches were held for 7.8 million hours.
As for the future, the "stadium" will be equipped with seasonal updates with a set of content. For example, the recently added Freya will be the first hero to replenish the Roster of the “stadium” after its launch. This will happen in the uptime in the middle of the current season – while the exit is scheduled for May 20. Playable characters intend to add every season. For example, in the seventeenth it will be possible to play for Zenyatt, Sigmu and rat, and in the eighteenth – for Sujorn, Brigitte and Winston.
What else is waiting in the seventeenth season (start in June):
Update of the eighteenth spin-casino.uk season (start in August):
In the nineteenth season and further gamers, new heroes, a map from China, an upgrade of the system of objects and another are waiting for gamers.
Also Keller emphasized that the idea to create a “stadium” arose before the launch Overwatch 2. Moreover, the first pitch document made one of the children himself Keller. "Since then, the regime has come a long way, but I always remember my son when I play", -Gam-Director shared.
Perhaps this clarification is addressed to those people who believe that the “stadium” was a response to the release of Marvel Rivals . Competitive shooter from Netease I bit quite a lot from the pie Overwatch 2. Even if in Blizzard began to prepare their solution after the release Marvel Rivals, "Stadium" would not have come out so soon. Make a similar regime and rebuild the balance in a short time is an overwhelming task.

I confirm, the stadium is very cool. This is probably the largest update in the history of the game
Played about a hundred matches, of which a third was played until the last 7 round. Another third is just bending one of the teams of the other because of the crooked matchmaking, well, and the remaining third as it goes. In general, the picture is, as in any other mode, t.To. Even in the competition there are often completely wooden randomes. The stadium came to me, but infuriates the absence of a Donabra, especially if the person fell off on the first or second round.
I did not like the stadium. All attempts to play it ended in the fact that the whole game of one team dried up bending another, not allowing to leave the response. And it is impossible to recoup in these cases, because you cannot change the character-in the game that was originally designed for the change of characters and the counter-peak of impenetrable tactics.
Moreover, it turned out that in the stadium … there is no matchmaking, so in one match, players of skill levels of bronze and grandmaster can easily get caught. In the whole game, including fast and arcades, there is matchmaking from the release of the game in 2016. During the first part, I remember the day when matchmaking did not work in the whole game, and when bronze and master fell into one match. It just broke the game in the root and howled everything. Because, regardless of the mode, the game determines your skill and adapts to it, providing stronger or weak opponents in the following matches. This is not in the stadium.
I did not. Played several and simply scored on the mode. Despite the fact that the idea of a game from 3 faces initially seemed to me tempting. In addition, it turned out that the characters like Rain, a soldier-76 and Juno turned out to be an unchanging imboe, whose Vinratic was breaking the gates of Ray, that even the developers admitted. I understand that they will balance this and add new heroes to the regime, but at the first impression to play this further there is no desire.
I didn’t go to play an overlap from the 3rd person at all. After the first rink I changed in the settings for the first person.
