Blizzard just dropped a game-changing Starcraft 2 update, a decade after its last expansion

The Starcraft 2 patch 5.0.16 introduces significant changes, including a reduction of starting workers from 12 to eight, which aims to extend early and mid-game experiences and encourage aggressive strategies. The default Mineral and Vespene Gas counts at each base have been recalibrated, allowing for more feasible one-base or two-base strategies. The unit supply count provided by all factions' bases has been lowered by two. For Protoss, Warpgate research has been moved to the Gateway, increasing unit production speed by 35% but requiring additional resources for transformation. Zerg will experience slower Creep spread, more affordable Carapace upgrades, and changes to Overlords and Vipers. Terran Ghost units have increased supply costs, with adjustments to attack range and damage. Quality-of-life improvements have also been implemented. The patch is currently live on the PTR, and community feedback has been positive.

Overwatch’s latest anniversary mode brings back pre-Overwatch 2 6v6 and I have to admit, I missed it

Role queueing as a tank in 5v5 Overwatch requires mental resilience, strategic insight, and commitment to the team. The transition to a 5v5 format has made the tank's role more crucial, with increased responsibilities such as creating space, maintaining the front line, and protecting support players. Players can still engage in a 6v6 mode, which is balanced for 5v5 but lacks a role queue. This week, a special pre-Overwatch 2 6v6 format is available to celebrate the game's 10-year anniversary. The author enjoys this nostalgic format, particularly as an off-tank, as it allows for more dynamic gameplay without the pressure of protecting the backline. The 6v6 mode will soon end, but there are hints of more free content coming later this year.
