Overwatch's Competitive Play mode will return by the end of June, he said, and with it comes a longer season, a more skill-based system without a safety net and a dynamic queue for matchmaking.

Now other than the Irony of people leaving League for Overwatch, this is going to be actually very interesting to see. IF Overwatch's Dynamic Que works and is successful(and by successful, we mean fair matches), does that prove that Dynamic Que in League CAN work as well, if it was better balanced?

Or, if Overwatch's Dynamic Que fails, will that mean that we can expect the same for League's, or are the games different enough for this not to matter? I for one, cannot wait to see what happens.

Yeah but Overwatch is a Blizzard game so its not competitive, DQ is fine for casual games like Blizzard makes.

The Dynamic Queue is being added to the ranked version of Overwatch. So this will be a competitive matchmaking.

I'd argue that a "Blizzard Game so it's not competitive" fails in the light of StarCraft.

And yet Hearthstone, HotS, and Overwatch tell us theyre aiming more for casual audiences at the moment

But mostly I just want to incite blizzard fans

I can see it with Hearthstone and HotS, but the fact that there are still Competitions for them argue it further. Overwatch at least has a bit less "Hand held" feel to it all, and takes a lot more skill than the other two mentioned.

Hearthstone has way too much RNG to be a competitive card game.

HotS is duh, even more casual than LoL the casual moba.

Have you seen the reticule sizes in Overwatch?
