We've received reports that aim sensitivity on console feels off. We're currently investigating and will update as we get more info. In the meantime, setting Aim Smoothing to 100% can alleviate some of the issue.

Best of 7 adds more room for strategy, comebacks, and team adaptation, while making matches feel less snowbally overall. If you liked the quicker Best of 5 format, you can still jump into Quick Play Stadium to experience it there.

We’ve been listening to your feedback on Ranked Stadium’s format since Season 19 launched, and we agree — the switch to Best of 5 hasn’t felt quite right. Starting tomorrow (10/30), Ranked Stadium is returning to Best of 7.

With Season 19, Stadium Competitive will shift to a Best of 5 format. Our goal is to shorten match length while preserving the depth and decision-making that define the mode. We want every round to feel meaningful and help players get to the fun faster.

There's a spirit of revival stirring in America. Dinesh D'Souza's new film, The Dragon's Prophecy, is part of that movement. Based on Jonathan Cahn's No.1 bestseller, the film reveals how war, politics and the Bible converge in a way that we need to make a choice. Watch on GJW+.

But it also introduces risk and means not everything is just right each time. That doesn’t mean we’ll stop trying to innovate, but that we’ll adapt and iterate as quick as we can when something doesn’t land the way we want. 4/4

Additional rambling if you’re interested. The team is still invested in creating new and unique features for Overwatch. While we are listening we still love to surprise and delight. Sometimes that means releasing an amazing new experience for the game, like Stadium. 3/4

Speaking of Ranked Stadium… we've also increased the Skill Bonus reward for wins! High MMR players will feel this the most as we try to catch them up to their predicted rank faster.

We've made some adjustments to the Stadium matchmaker to reduce queue times. Matches could be slightly wider, but the trade-off feels acceptable to get folks into games faster. We've been monitoring this change since Monday and are happy with the results.
