They need to get rid of that Perk Level System…
just let us select the 2 Perks from the Start in the Spawn.
Since currently, if you get rolled hard you don’t get to select perks, making the Perk System completely useless.
But I’m thinking about Aaron Keller again. I mean since the OW2 Update This Game farmed bad news like crazy, worse UI, less players (in a match), broken promises (and yes aslong as it’s named Overwatch 2 The Broken Promise of PvE will be valid), half-baked implementations since as fun as Perks seem to be, they’re a half-baked additions and I wonder for Aaron Keller how often can you helm a failure until you have to part… or does he has somekind of agreement we don’t know about… Ehh I do not want to care that much I mean what did OW2 do better than OW1? I’d say the Ranked Grind (that 100 ranked coins per 30 matches is really nice, even if there could be improvements to that), The Ping System, Free2Play and the 6v6/OW Classic Events, those were everything that came to my mind that is an Improvement but I gotta say Overwatch AT LEAST was worth the 40bucks
They said yesterday the original plan was 4 levels… So it could of been worse 
Also mentioned that swappable perks should come next season. Along with fixing mystery heroes (for those that play that)
imo they should bring back the On-Fire Meter, which is the Perk EXP Meter currently.
I wonder how Total Mayhem would play with Perks.
But that Distraction Factor from the Perk System needs to go.
It never went away, they just hid the visible display and voice lines. Then brought have the display later.
Now you just see a limp fire on your name in the score card.
I imagine it would be total mayhem… (Cheap I know).
But for mystery heroes, they are changing it so you spawn with a random perk.
cannot really be compared imo, the old display had something of a fighting game vibe to it
that would be interesting, though then they should overhaul the selection.
Kinda how Quickplay where you can select role queue and open queue. There be a Mystery Hero Menu “with Perks”, “without Perks” since I can see it being frustrating getting a hero in Mystery Heroes that you’re usual good with but having Perks that work against you.
Speaking of “Overhauling the Selection”, I wonder if they change the Arcade so that all modes are selectable all the time with Perks and without Perk Options. Or if they do somekind of Arcade Ranked Mode one day… Total Mayhem Ranked with Perks would be crazy and I would love it, but it realisticly would break the game wide open.
Did see another nugget earlier. They’ll be changing at least 1 perk on every hero in season 18. Some heroes might get more changes.
So, I think any functionality changes would probably come with that.
They also said they toyed with the idea of being able to build the hero kit, rather than perks. But it didn’t work well in testing.
Yeah if there was 1 mode that should NOT have perks, is that one.
Now people are afraid of losing perks and can’t press W. They ruined that mode lol
I never even thought about it until they said a fix was coming.
Tbf, the fix sounds like a fun idea. A little extra chaos.
I think Mystery Heroes perfectly displays that the Levelling System of Perks are a Problem.
