Subscribe to our newsletter Overwatch Season 2 patch notes arrived today, and beneath a breakdown of the new Operation: Grand Mesa event and other limited-time modes, you'll find perhaps the funniest warning that Blizzard has ever issued: we're adding voice chat to post-game, but don't you dare act up."For the first time in Unranked and Competitive Play, players will be able to access Match Voice Chat as Post-Match Accolades begin," Blizzard says, quietly removing the pin from a grenade.

"Players can join just before the stage appears but always need to manually opt-in by pressing a button," it adds, tossing the grenade into the room and swiftly shutting the door behind it.

And yes, that does mean you can talk to the enemy team during the Play of the Game segment.The vision, I think, is that players will celebrate standout performances, pat each other on the back, and playfully goad each other about the outcome of the match.

Maybe they'll even reflect on strategies and share tips for self-improvement! You know, like runners exchanging jabs as they playfully elbow each other and walk off the field ## Editor's Note This announcement has sparked considerable discussion among gamers.
