{{Quote|This game mode is really about momentum and how you come together as a team in order to stop the enemy team's advance, then regroup and start pushing into enemy territory. It does require a lot of teamwork and a lot of coordination, and that's the part of the mode that we're a little bit worried about.<ref name="overhaul"/>|[[Aaron Keller]], Game Director}}

*A major development goal for Clash was to create a game mode where players truly came together as a team. Clash took inspiration from the Assault mode from ''[[Overwatch]]'', but removed the defense element to only include two attacking teams, making coordination and regrouping more important.<ref name="overhaul">2024-03-19.[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-blizzard-is-overhauling-overwatch-2-to-be-more-generous/1100-6521944/ Why Blizzard is Overhauling Overwatch 2 to be more "Generous"].
