Overview

  • Season 17 adds Junkrat, Sigma, and Zenyatta to Stadium mode with unique Powers tailored for explosive, defensive, and support roles.
  • Junkrat gains Big Bang to increase grenade size on bounces, Slapnel for explosive melee knockbacks, and Rainin’ Lead to drop a Total Mayhem bomb after an aerial launch.
  • Sigma’s rotating shield now orbits him and can heal allies when equipped with Philharmonic Fortitude, while Zenyatta’s Circle of Strife afflicts enemies with Discord Orbs during his Transcendence.
  • A new pre-build section allows players to save, describe, and share custom Stadium loadouts directly from match reports and the armoury.
  • Map voting lets players choose one of three available battlefields and debuts the Morocco Flashpoint map alongside updates to Junk City and Suravasa.
