While we understand this was a fun play, the ruling here is that using a Mei wall to reach unusable locations with the Symmetra teleport is an exploit and has never been allowed in OWL matches. This rule has been shared with teams and players prior to the start of the season.

We always look to keep OWL balance as close to the live game as we can, but given that there won't be sufficient time to transition OWL to Season 5 for Midseason Madness nor a fair way to match the live game with Season 4 midcycle, we determined the best option for all parties is.

Guess who's back, back again 😎. Wrecking Ball will be available for #OWL2022 play this weekend 🐹
I know we said no hero pools for 2022. but this time is different! Turns out Wrecking Ball's powers are a bit too strong for OWL servers too, so we'll be disabling him for this weekend, but should get our furry friend in by next week 🐹.

Due to the latest regional licensing updates, we're delaying the start of the free agency period to 12/2 to afford our teams and players additional time to prepare for the 2023 season. This does not impact other current 2023 plans, which we look forward to sharing at a later date.
