The Summer Games return to Overwatch with a beach party theme and Lucioball in tow, but for once the cosmetics are more than skip deep.

Also on the agenda: matchmaking in the new Lucioball is a bit odd, drawing on your competitive skill rating, which is like sorting a pro football league according to the players’ fidget spinning abilities. A bit. In more serious game balance news, the Summer Games have delayed the latest PTR update, so we consider when it’ll go up and what we already know it will contain.
